Chapters The True Land Of Nod. (C&C)
Prologue
The brotherhood of Nod have fought hard and ruthlessly to get here. They finally made their way to the Scrin tower and prepared to ascend into their portal to ascension. The Nod general running the show? General Nightscar.
Nightscar was a formal GDI commando by the name John Shale. He was offered to take part in an experiment that would make him the ultimate solider. He would be twice as strong, twice as smart and twice as fast. During the experiment something went wrong... He came out stronger, smarter and faster but at a cost. His left eye was removed due to the brains larger size. He was furious and lashed out at the GDI scientists. He was then thrown into a secret jail in a GDI military fortress. What GDI had not known was that a Nod traitor working as a scientist learned of John and sent the Information to the Brotherhood right away. Kane knew that John could be a valuable tool for his army and prepared to "Liberate" John from the GDI scum. John quickly accepted Kane's invitation into the brotherhood now that he thought GDI was a corrupt force and he wanted revenge. He then took a new identity as Nightscar and tried to hide the name John as he was living a new life.
John was proud of his accomplishments. He had fought off an entire GDI regiment and avenged his eye by wiping the facility he was experimented on out of existence. He and Kane proudly walked up to the crudely prepared stage. Kane grabed the microphone and began to speak
"Brothers and Sisters! Today we have won! Today we stand proudly in front of the portal to our ascension! We have fought long and hard to get to where we are today! We have finally showed GDI that we are not a force to be reckoned with when we want to reach our goals!" The crowed cheered and jumped with happiness. John was also filled with happiness and just wanted to jump around and throw his hands to the air, but he kept his statuesque stance to show his discipline. While John was a ruthless general and did things people would have nightmares about he too liked to have fun.
"Very soon we shall ascend into the portal with our vehicles, weapons and supplies! Relish in your victory my children for you have earned it! Peace through power! Power through Strength! Strength through Unity! Unity through Peace!" The crowed began to cheer and chant "Peace through power" as Kane and John walked off the stage.
John happy with the turnout with Kane's speech began to descend the stage beside Kane. As they walked down the stage Kane spoke out in a tone that only John could hear.
"I am proud of you Nightscar... Or should I call you John?"
John replied "You can call me John my leader, for you have given me everything I could possibly have wanted. You gave me the chance to get revenge on the scum who did this to me" pointing at the scar on the skin that used to be his eye.
Kane replied "And you have allowed us to conquer the GDI forces here to accomplish our goals! Without you this could have taken so much longer than it could have. You are the best general life has to offer! And please, call me my real name. As you are if anything a good friend." Kane then added a little bit of laughter.
"What is our next step then Kane?"
"Well once we get settled into our new land we shall need someone to lead everyone. While I am a capable leader I will not do it alone. At your permission I would like you to lead by my side." Feeling honored John replied
"I will do it! I shall not fail you Kane!" John proceeded to firmly shake Kane's hand.
"I know you will not, for you have helped accomplish something I have dreamed of for many years. I shall see you at the Portals entrance to give the final speech before we enter our ascension." replied Kane as he proceeded to walk towards his Officer tent. Now that John was alone he began to think to himself
"Finally I have shown GDI that they shouldn't have fucked with me, I became a general of Nod and kicked their sorry little asses. Their fault for trying to screw me over. Today I am a man living in our GDI corrupted world, Tomorrow I will be a man living in a fresh new start where Nod will be calling the shots... Where I will be calling the shots." John then moved to his tent and tried to get some R&R before the great speech.
Meanwhile in Director Boyle's outpost. "Damn it Parker! We can't let Nod escape! We need to mobilize all GDI forces and stop them from escaping! Do you know how bad I will look if the media finds out that Nod got away with all their crimes! I will be the laughing stock of the entire fucking world! I will get fired for such failure. But I swear you will go down with me if you fail to eliminate them!"
Parker, a GDI general was in a tight spot. He was in charge of the major GDI force and had suffered multiple loses to the Scrin. Due to this it became rather difficult to fight the Nod army and he was getting in all sorts of shit from the most resent news. Nod have all left to the Scrin tower to leave to their "Ascension". His thoughts were "whatever it means Nod's gone right?" and he was right. But Boyle didn't want to be known as the first director who allowed an entire army to cause a load of carnage and get away with it.
"But sir! We do not currently have enough men in Europe to combat such a large force!" Parker managed to squeeze out.
"I don't care! Suppress them long enough for the main force to arrive and destroy them" The director threw back. Parker knew he was just delaying the inevitable. He couldn't disobey a direct order from the director of national defense. He had to give in.
"Fine! I will mobilize the forces. But if we fail, the failure is all on you." Parker then walked away knowing he probably just gave the order to send thousands of men to their deaths.
Well here it is, the prologue to the fic I am writing. Hopefully I will be able to get a chapter up everyday or atleast every 2 days. Be aware that this is my first fic! I also may take suggestions for future chapters.
The True Land Of Nod. (C&C)
Chapter 1: The Portal Rift
Twilight was preparing to go out to the Everfree forest with Applejack and Rainbow Dash. For the past few days there has been a strange shimmer of lights coming from deep within the forest. Twilight had sent a message to Princess Celestia asking if she could get permission to investigate the strange phenomenon. Princess Celestia agreed and wrote
"What do you think we are gonna find? A dragon? A huge monster! Or maybe even... An Alien!!!" screeched Rainbow Dash in her excitement.
"Now listen here. we aint gonna find no aliens in this here forest Rainbow! we all know that alien don't exist."
"You never know! Everypony thought Nightmare Moon was a myth and where did that get us!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. Twilight now annoyed with the two ponies yelling at each other finally said
"Now everypony just calm down! There is no such thing as aliens! There is no way an alien could be here. Its probably some creature in the Everfree, we still don't know about all the things that live here. It could be a new creature."
"see? just listen to here Twilight, she knows whats up!" Said Applejack as she winked to Twilight. The trio of friends continued towards the shimmering light.
Meanwhile back at the Scrin tower
A Nod solider entered John's tent and poked him on the shoulder
"General Sir! Kane asked me to make sure you're up and ready for the final speech before we move out sir!" John opened his eyes and saw the Solider leave the tent.
"Shit I guess I got a little too much rest" Mumbled John as he got up and dressed himself in his finest Nod general apparel. "I had better get over to the podium and meet Kane before he gives his final speech! I Don't want to let Kane down." John quickly grabbed his gauss rifle and slung it over his back as well as put his trusty custom made Magnum into its holster. "Finally we get to see what ascension looks like."
Back in the Everfree forest
The trio of ponies were closing in on the source of the shimmering light. Twilight, Applejack and Rainbow Dash had entered a massive grass clearing.
"Whoa, this here clearing looks giant!" exclaimed Applejack not comprehending what shes seeing. Twilight and Rainbow Dash were equally startled at the sight of the huge clearing.
"This looks like it goes on for miles! And whats that!" Twilight said as she pointed her hoof at the large glowing arc.
"Whoa!!! What is that thing! Its MASSIVE!" Rainbow Dash said as she began to to loops in the air with excitement.
"Whoa there Rainbow! Don't go and sprain a wing ya hear!" Applejack yelled. Rainbow Dash then landed trying to calm herself down but still very excited.
"What do you think it is Twilight?" Rainbow Dash said looking into Twilight's eyes
"I-I don't know. It looks like some kind of light is emitting from it." said Twilight startled.
"emi- emeetid... ugh what was that egg head?" Rainbow Dash said jokingly.
"Its glowing..." Said Twilight annoyed.
" ah, I see well do you think it is safe?" Rainbow Dash said as she slowly started to approach it.
"Be careful Rainbow, I don't know if it is safe or not." Twilight started to move to block Rainbow Dash when the arc began to glow extremely bright. Twilight didn't know what she was looking at. It looked like a big black shadow in the portal was facing the opposite way and looked like it was speaking to something?
Back in the Nod camp
"Prepare brothers and sisters! Tonight we enter the portal and we start our new life in the land of Nod! All MCV's begin to move into the portal! Peace through Power!" Kane began to move towards me. He then gave me a file
"The inventory we are bringing with us." I opened the File to see this.
Nod Inventory.
Avatar: 120
Harvester: 32
Flame Tank: 27
MCV: 6
Raider: 238
Scorpion Tank: 211
Venom: 187
Tiberium Crystal 1Ton Capsules: 89
"What? I wonder why we are bringing so much stuff. Then again, why leave it all for the GDI to scavange up!"
Meanwhile in the GDI outpost
"Yes sir... I... Yes... Are... Are you sure sir? It can't be! How has the Tiberium spread so fast! I thought we had contained it I thought we ha- What was that? The Scrin did something to the Tiberium?" The next thing Boyle heard made his jaw drop. "Within the next year Earth will be uninhabitable? And we can't stop it? Yes I will make sure Nod pays." Boyle hung up the phone.
"Who was that Director?" Parker said as he moved into the office.
"It was the President. It seems the Scrin did something to the Tiberium and now it is spreading at a dangerous rate. At its current rate within next year Earth will be uninhabitable." Boyle's voice was almost at a whisper "God damn it!" Boyle then smashed his computer with his fist but not reacting to his now bloody knuckles. "Parker... As bad as this may sound. We need to take that portal. Without it the Human race will die. Earth is lost, we have to accept that." Boyle now speaking in a calm voice.
"The main force is almost there and the European soldiers are moving in for the kill, though I doubt they will succeed with such a task. Nod outnumbers that force ten to one! But now that I know if we do not take that portal, we will die. That is good enough to make even me fight and die gloriously, if it means saving the human race. I will rally the men. Tomorrow the portal is ours!" Parker walked out of the office still filled with dread. He could feel something horrible is going to happen.
Back in the Everfree
Twilight had heard a flapping noise coming from behind her, but it was a much louder noise than Rainbow Dash's Flapping. It was Princess Celestia!
"Prin- Princess?! What are you doing here? I thought you said we could investigate?"
"I had been worried. I have never in my life time seen the Everfree glow like it has and had to see what it was for curiosity sake. But now it seems that my curiosity is sated." The portal began to glow very brightly again, this time sound was getting through.
"Come men! Today we leave Earth and live in what is rightfully ours!" Twilights eyes lit up.
"They can speak Equestrian?" As Twilight said that an armada of creatures began to walk out of the portal. The now group of 4 ponies just watched in awe.
"Quickly get close to me, I will cast an invisibility spell around us" Celestia quickly cast the spell.
"Wait I was right they're Aliens!" Rainbow Dash said in the most silent shout she could make.
The creatures were bi-pedal. They all looked the same, possibly uniform. They had a lot of discipline to be walking in formation and seemed to "March" simultaneously. They were a mixture of Red and Black creatures that seemed to be holding large black metal sticks. Twilight was running all this through her mind then a more leader like creature stepped out. He began to speak Equestrian once again.
"I want some scout groups to scout out the edge of this clearing" Quickly two groups of three broke out from the armada and ran in opposite directions towards the clearing edge. One group were just normal Nod soldiers, the other group... The other group were GDI extremists.
Long before the attack on the Scrin tower 3 GDI commandos joined the Brotherhood to try to steal information on troop movements and other things that would give GDI a tactical advantage. The group was composed of Commander Daniels, Sargent Colden and Corporal Lively. They had been with the Brotherhood for quite some time now.
"Hey Colden, we finally got to break from the main force. Wanna play some cards later?"
"Shut up Lively! I'm not playing cards until we can report all this back to the GDI force."
"All of you shut up about GDI! Do you want to get caught? No. So shut the fuck up!" As if on cue a Nod shadow elite uncloaked and spitted on the ground
"Traitors... Everyone! GDI traitors! Kill them!" Lively quickly spun around and precisely put 3 bullets into the elite. 2 shots around the heart area and one shot into the T zone in the head, a kill. As if almost immediately Nod forces returned fire hitting Lively 6 times in the chest.
"Shit! Run Colden!!!" The Commander and the Sargent began to run into the forest.
Twilight could not believe what she was seeing. Did she just witness these creatures killing their own? She couldn't get the sight of the Corporal's body hit the grass after getting hit with an unknown object. She definitely saw the blood go flying.
Daniels and Colden were still running as fast as they could. Nod soldiers were firing into the woods hoping that a shot would connect with one of the traitors. Colden took 2 shots in the abdomen and collapsed. Daniels dropped to the ground and killed the 3 Nod soldiers trailing him with his sidearm. Celestia and the three ponies were close by watching the commander. Even Celestia knew the Sargent could not be saved.
"Come on Colden! Don't die on me! I promised I would never lose my squad again! I promised I would get you back to your wife and kids! I fucking promised damn it!"
"g-g-go... and p-please... tell my wife I.. I died do-doing what I do b-best..." Colden's head turned to the side, his eyes devoid of life.
"No!!! I will avenge you damn it! I am going to kill every fucking single one of those Nod bastards! First the kill our home planet now they kill you! I'm gonna fucking kill all of them!!!"
A Nod soldier appeared from behind a tree took aim and fired off his rifle. A shot connected with Daniels shoulder, but that didn't stop him from firing the rest of his sidearms clip into the mans head. Daniels fell to the ground and lost consciousness.
"Quickly we must get him! He has good in his heart, I can feel it." Celestia scooped up the Commander with her magic and continued to watch the portal for one more moment.
"Men! Bring in the MCV's!" Celestia curious to see what an MCV is began to watch as a massive four legged machine walked towards a clear area and transform into a large building. Celestia, the Commander and the three ponies teleported off to Canterlot.
John entered the portal.
"ah ha! Smell the sweet fresh air Kane?" "I do! Isn't this land glorious!" Kane began to instruct men to set up tents and prepare the MCV's. John watched as a good 50 or so Venom aircraft flew out of the portal and flew in different directions in the forest. Most likely scouting out the area. He then witnessed a good hundred Scorpion tanks begin to push down all sorts of trees to make room for the new Nod base. By now some of the men had come in contact with the wildlife. A large lion/scorpion thing began to move towards the camp roaring at all his might. Nod soldiers easily riddled the beast with bullets and continued with their duty's like nothing even happened.
Nod forces continued to build up tents and barbed wire at the the clearing edges now that the scorpions tripled the surrounding area. They began to dump about 30 capsules of Tiberium into a nearby crevasse. Soon this planet will be rich with Tiberium, but this time we will be able to control its spread. Slowly but steadily a Refinery was constructed and the Harvesters that came with them, filled with Tiberium began to unload their cargo.
It has only been 3 hours and this new Nod base is almost fully functional. Now all it needs is a few reactors and the base will be powered up and ready to go. By now John and Kane are debating whether or not that they should use the flame tanks to burn down a majority of the forest to give them better sight around their base.
"Kane I think we need to burn down this forest immediately. If there is more of those strange creatures, we need to eliminate some and hopefully give us more line of sight to see the attacks coming." Kane responded
"But why burn down this lushes forest? This is our world now. I think we are more than capable of taking out those little creatures. How about this? If we are attacked and we have a causality I will reconsider." John nodded and walked over to his assigned MCV. John began to mumble to himself.
"Tomorrow I will send out a scout team to see what lies past this forest. Maybe there is natives here. It looks like this planet is developed enough. I guess I will have to find out." John removed his weapons and clothing and went to sleep.
The True Land Of Nod. (C&C)
Chapter 2: Forest In Flames
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.
"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.
The True Land Of Nod. (C&C)
Queen Chrysalis and her Empire had been almost wiped out by the Equestrians. She and her changelings were torn apart and all she wanted was revenge on the ones who did this to her. Chrysalis and her Empire were camped out in the Everfree forest. Her beautiful city had been ravaged and the city's she had infiltrated had been cleansed. She no longer had any love to sustain her and her army.
"No this can't be happening! We have lost all hold on this world! We are powerless without the love to sustain us! All our food is gone..." Queen Chrysalis knew it was over. She was powerless and they would no longer have the ability to change into other ponies to gain the love in the first place. Queen Chrysalis's reign in this world was over... Or was it?
John had been in the trees listening and watching the Queen and her army trying to make do with whatever they had left.
"General Nightscar sir! Shall we open fire sir!" A Nod soldier blurted out eagerly with his rifle trained on the Changelings. John thought for a moment. If he allies these "Changelings" he could get a better grasp on this world much quicker. It also seemed these "Changelings" Could be perfect workers and could help build equipment for the Nod army.
"No, you two stay here. and I want you to come with me." John said pointing at a Nod officer.
"Yes sir!" The officer replied jumping down and they both walked straight into the Queen's camp.
The Queen saw the two bi-pedal creatures walking towards her.
"Who and what are you! Stay back or we will kill you!" Queen Chrysalis screamed. Toying with her John replied
"Oh? You wish us to leave? And I was just about to make an offer you couldn't refuse. Oh well let us go Officer." John began to turn and walk back towards the trees, he knew what he was doing.
Queen Chrysalis curious to the offer then urgently said "No wait! I would like to hear this offer out of curiosity." John grinned and spun around
"Good, then I will answer your questions. I am a Human and I go by General Nightscar of the Brotherhood of Nod army.
Queen Chrysalis was very curious now
"Well then General Nightscar, what is a Human? And what is this "Brotherhood of Nod" army you speak about? Also what are those large metal sticks you two seem to be carrying?" The General responded
" We Humans don't originate from this land, we come from Planet Earth. I am in command of Nod forces within the Brotherhood. Lastly these "Metal sticks" are called guns. Here is a demonstration." The creature then pointed the "Gun" at a nearby tree and pulled what looked like a trigger. There was a loud noise and the gun began to smoke at the front. The tree's trunk exploded into a pile of splinters and the tree fell to the ground. She was extremely excited at this gun. she began thinking to herself. If she had these allies at her side, she would be able to conquer this world.
John saw the Queen's face light up with excitement as he shot the tree.
"Well what I wish to offer you is an Alliance with the Brotherhood of Nod. All I ask of you is that you could lend some of your army to help construct our glorious machines and weapons. In return we shall protect you and weaponize your army." John waited eagerly for a reply.
Queen Chrysalis was ecstatic, she was just offered an Alliance with what looked like a technologically advanced race from another world. How could she say no?
"I accept your offer on one condition. Your forces will love my army and will open them with open arms. As you see my army and I run on the power of love, we use to change into peoples love ones and consume the love for them. It gave us out powers." The General replied
"Absolutely and any workers who help with the construction will definitely be loved as they will have served the Brotherhood of Nod. All brothers and equally loved amongst the Leaders. Now if you follow me I will show you the base we have secured." Queen Chrysalis quickly assembled an honor guard of 6 elite Changelings and begun to follow the General towards the base.
Meanwhile in Canterlot
Princess Celestia opened a small portal so that the Director and General Parker could take a look around.
"This place is... Beautiful! How could Nod cause chaos in a place like this? This place just makes me feel all good in the inside!" The Director said as he began to pace around looking through the windows like a kid on a field trip.
"Is this were we will set up base Princess?" Parker said looking at Princess Celestia.
"No, Let me teleport us to Ponyville." "Teleport? How do we telepor- AHHHHHHHH" The Director yelled as he began to dematerialize.
The Director continued to yell like a little girl even after he was safely standing on the grass of Ponyville.
"Snap out of it sir!" Parker yelled as he slapped the Director across the face. The Director stopped yelling
"Ugh yes well... Thank you Parker." Parker looked around the small village
"So this is were we set up base and defend?" Princess Celestia turned to him
"Yes, I will open the portal here. Be ready to move through with your forces, you have 3 hours until I open the portal." Parker and the Director then materialized back into the office.
"Well Parker? Get the soldiers ready! We have a war to fight!" The Director said with excitement.
"Will do sir." Parker said as he activated his com system and began barking orders to his men. Soon they will fight back with everything they have left, everything...
Meanwhile at the outskirts of the Nod base
Queen Chrysalis was in awe at the Brotherhoods massive base they have constructed. For normal pony workers something like this would have taken years to build, but these humans have managed to do this in a matter of days.
"Get out of the way General! There is a creature behind you!" The soldiers yelled but lowered their weapons as the General gave them the signal to lower them.
"She is a friend men, allow us to pass by and alert Kane for me." The soldiers quickly moved out of the way with their eyes trained on the strange black bug-like thing following their General. One soldier radioed Kane telling him General Nightscar returned from the scouting mission with an unknown creature.
Queen Chrysalis was impressed with the amount of discipline these soldiers had. They all marched in unison and saluted as the General would pass by them. She thought to herself again
"If only my army did that..." she then snapped out of it as a man dressed in black with what looked like a Scorpion tail emblem over his chest.
"Ah General! I see you have brought a guest. And who might you be?" He said looking at the large bug creature standing beside General Nightscar.
"I am Queen Chrysalis of the Changelings." She replied loudly.
"Well then Queen, I am Kane. I am the leader of the Brotherhood of Nod."
John now surprised how well Kane and the Queen got along began to discuses how they have formed an Alliance, and the pros with having these changeling workers. Kane listened an agreed with the Alliance.
"Now that we have a new ally it wouldn't be fair if you missed out on our new super weapon. Follow me." Kane and the General began walking towards a massive building with a huge gate.
Chrysalis had been extremely impressed. She had seen massive machines that could obliterate anything they fired at. She nodded at the two Humans and followed them to the building. What she saw made her jaw drop.
She had seen many of the machines Nod had to offer but they had nothing on this thing. It was about 20x the size of one of those scorpion tank's she had seen. Kane began to explain how it was equipped with a super weapon called an "Ion Cannon". He described how with one shot it could wipe out hundreds of soldiers in a blink of an eye. The two humans then shot into a maniacal laugh. She joined in, This was going to be a very beneficial Alliance she thought, a very beneficial Alliance...
Meanwhile in Ponyville
Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash and Applejack had finally returned to Ponyville. Rainbow Dash had been really excited.
"Hey Rainbow! Why are ya so excited, ya look like yer about to do a Sonic Rainboom!" Applejack replied
"I'm just so excited about those "Jet" thingys! That Daniels person said that can go REALLY fast! And they don't even flap their wings!" Rainbow Dash screached. Twilight rolled her eyes.
"There is NO way they could fly! He has got to be telling you some tale." Rainbow Dash ignored Twilight's comment.
"He said he knows how to fly them too! He also said if he gets the time he will race me in one!" Rainbow Dash said even more excited than before. They continued to walk towards the area were the portal will open. Out of the corner of Twilight's eye she saw 3 pony's walking towards them, she instantly recognized them. It was Pinkie Pie, Rarity and Fluttershy.
Pinkie Pie bounced over. "Hey were ya been? How come you didn't bring me! I coulda packed you cupcakes! Maybe we could of had a party! OHHH! I know how abou-" Pinkie was cutoff by Rarity as she stuck a hoof in her mouth.
"Calm down dear, no need to ask a hundred of questions but... Where were you three at? Have you heard what happened? Some things came here and killed a colt! Just flat out killed him in cold blood! That is unheard of! You 3 have been alright... Right? Rarity said worried.
With a sigh Twilight began to explain how they found a new race called Humans and how the "Bad guys" are called Nod and they were the ones who killed the colt. She then explained how soon another Human force will arrive to try to defend us and how they're called GDI.
"GDI will be here soon, don't worry girls we will be safe."
Back in the Nod base
Kane continued to explain to Queen Chrysalis how they just finished the tank and now they just need a proper target to test the strength of it. The Queen quickly thought in her head... She has it!
"I know a perfect target! It is called Manehatten, and it is a major industrial area for Equestria." Kane replied
"Perfect, we shall test at once! Let us go. Commander! Start up the machine, and power up the cannon." With that the huge tank drove out through the gate and drove straight for Manehatten.
45 Minutes of driving later
The tank commander entered the observing bridge of the tank were Queen Chrysalis, Nightscar and Kane stood in excitement.
"Kane, the cannon is in range of Manehatten sir!" Kane replied
"Good, fire in ten seconds." The commander left the observing bridge and yelled
"Yes sir" Kane turned to Queen Chrysalis
"Today you see the true power of the Brotherhood" with that said the cannon began to glow light blue intensely. Then in seconds a loud *ZZZZZZZAP* noice rang through the bridge and the beam fired straight and true towards Manehatten. Then... *BOOOM* A blinding light was emitted from the city.
Queen Chrysalis couldn't believe what she was seeing. She saw buildings collapse and a massive bluish cloud rise from the crumbling ruins of Manehatten. She had just witnessed thousands of lives go out like a fire. She loved it. She began to evilly laugh and Kane and the General joined in.
"The World will be ours" Queen Chrysalis continued to laugh... "The world will be ours", she thought to herself again. "And this time I will not, and cannot be stopped..."
I will be away on vacation for the next 3 days or so, then I will continue to write this Fic. I hope you enjoyed this chapter! Next chapter you will finally get to read about some conflict! See you all soon! ~TheMossiah
The True Land Of Nod. (C&C)
"Twilight and Luna concentrate your magic and divert it to me so I can summon the portal! On three! One! Two! Th-" A guard began to shout to her
"Princess Celestia! A pony just arrived from Manehatten. She urgently needs to speak to you." The guard then motioned Princess Celestia toward a mare, she was shaking and had cuts and bruises all over her body. Twilight and Luna were shocked at the condition she was in.
"What has happened to you? We need to get you to a hospital! Guard! Get a few doctors over here with a stretcher!" The guard saluted and ran towards the hospital. "Now what of this news?" The mare looked into her eyes. Princess Celestia could see fear in the poor mares eyes.
"Th- there was a b- bright l- light... Th- then a l- loud bang... Everth- thing just explo- loded..." Princess Celestia collapsed onto her haunches. Did she just hear this right? Manehatten had just exploded? She couldn't accept that Manehatten just "exploded".
"Guards! Ready my chariot, we are heading to Manehatten!" Princess Celestia helped the mare onto the stretcher and boarded the chariot with the guards. Portal or not, she had to find out what happened to Manehatten.
Meanwhile at the outskirts of Manehatten 4 hours ago
"General sir! It seems half eagle half lion things are arriving at Manehatten to help the survivors! There is also a team of 4 of them flying towards us! Orders sir?" The commander fumbled with the AA cannon controls. John chuckled and turned to the commander.
"Fill the sky with hot lead commander." The commander took aim at the four creatures and flicked up the triggers safety. He placed earplugs on and sucked in a large breath.
"OPENING FIRE!!!" The AA cannons began to fire. The two AA cannons were equipped with duel 50mm flack cannons and a 20mm under mounted rapid-fire quad cannon. The entire tank was vibrating from the power of the AA cannons. 3 Seconds went by then... Silence. The Griffons didn't stand a chance. The first flak detonation killed two of the flyers and the quads diced the two remaining Griffons.
Queen Chrysalis was startled by the AA cannons. She had never seen anything so effective against Griffons before. She turned away from the viewing window. "They are called Griffons. They have the strongest military presence in this world." Kane turned to her with an intrigued look on his face.
"How large is this army of theirs? Are they effective in combat?" Kane looked at the Queen hoping she would have the answer. She knew these answers. They were the ones that destroyed her city.
"They are about twenty thousand strong with some war machines, but nothing stronger than your machines." Queen Chrysalis was about to say that they were the ones who destroyed her city when the General spoke up.
"Well then we shall eliminate them. We are only about three thousand strong so they could overwhelm us later. We will use Blitzkrieg tactics and wipe them from the face of this world. Commander bring us back to base, and Queen Chrysalis? Some of our mechanics have rigged up some saddle mounted weapon prototypes for your subjects. We shall test some upon our return. If they work we will test them further on the survivors and Griffons at Manehatten" Queen Chrysalis once flooded with emotion. Hours ago her army and herself had been reduced to almost nothing with no hope in succeeding ever again. Now she had new hope. She was stronger than ever, and now her army would use the extremely powerful weaponry the humans used. She has been given a second chance to rule this world and she will not fail again.
The large tank returned to the hanger and its passengers began to exit. The tank had preformed well. Not as good as one of their nuclear bombs but it was good for a prototype. Queen Chrysalis began to search the crowd.
"Were are the weapons?" A few Nod mechanics exited a tent and motioned her towards a large firing range were three of her changelings had been suited up with large harnesses and each changeling had a different weapon extending from the sides. The mechanics began to explain the weapons.
"We have created these three weapon harnesses. One has a basic gauss rifle another has a small ballistic missile launcher and the last has a flamer. The rifle should be effective at a medium range. The launcher should be good at taking out large groups or walls,buildings etc. Finally we have the flamer. The flamer is the perfect short range weapon able to spit flames on anything the barrel is trained on. To add to all this, the harnesses have duel bayonets that can be used for charging and ramming. Any questions?" Queen Chrysalis was excited to see them in action.
"No questions! Do they work?" Queen Chrysalis eagerly awaited a reply.
"Yes. Soldiers, please demonstrate the weapons." The changelings nodded and opened fire on their target dummies. The dummies were reduced to either splinters or burnt charcoal. Queen Chrysalis didn't know what was better, that the weapons were perfect for her army or that the Humans have accepted her changelings as one of them. Her thoughts were interrupted by the Generals clapping.
"Perfect! Suit up a good two hundred changelings and send them to Manehatten. It is time they got some field testing! Double time it! Go go go!" John was impressed with the prototypes the mechanics made. He started up a Venom and prepared to follow the changelings to Manehatten.
John had arrived at the outskirts of Manehatten with the changeling army. He did a quick look around and noticed a large green statue holding a torch. It was a pony version of the statue of Liberty. He chuckled at the sight.
"Spread out! Remember soldiers, no survivors! All shall be slain by the Hand of Nod!" With that the changelings gave a battle cry and charged into the city. The Griffons had been startled by the sight and a female Griffon flew in front of the Griffon formation.
"I am Gilda! Commander of the 27th Griffon airborne legion! Begone bug creatures or you will be detained!" The changelings began to laugh. Gilda was angered by their laughter, it reminded her of Pinkie Pie. "Get them out of here sargent Blood Talon!" The sargent and his squad began to fly towards the changelings when he stopped. A large flying metal thing flew above the changeling tide.
"Hahaha! You think you have authority over the Brotherhood? Kill them my brothers! Kill them all!" For a second time stood still. Gilda was hit with a wave of terror. As if in unison the changelings raised the strange metal sticks pointing them towards the Sargent and before she could react there was a loud *ZAP*. It had not come from the changelings but from the metal creature. A bright red light flew from the creature and pierced right threw the sargent killing him outright. Immediately after the changelings opened fire killing the sargent's 4 man squad. Gilda spun and flew towards some ruins. She noticed the army of around 400 Griffons looking at her. With her newly formed valor she turned to the Griffons and raised her claw.
"CHARGE!" Gilda and the Griffon army flew straight at the changeling horde. The changelings began to once again open fire but now into the Griffon army. She was horrified. She saw the changelings effortlessly shoot their strange weapons killing many of her forces in seconds. She grabbed a changeling with a mysterious red canister on his back and threw him into the crowd. The canister exploded into a fiery ball of destruction taking 20 changelings and 4 of her legionnaires with it. The counter attack was useless, hundreds of Griffons lay dead and only a good 80 or so changelings had fallen. She decided to sound the retreat. As she began to open her beak the metal creature returned. It shot a red beam next to her singeing her left wings feathers. She could feel a wave of heat wash over her.
"Retreat!" She called out turning to what she thought was her army. They were all dead. She accepted that this was her end. The metal creature flew up next to her...
"So you are a Griffon hmm? I want you to deliver a message. Please tell your leader that soon the Brotherhood will destroy all that is dear to them. Have a nice day." The creature had surprised her. It could talk. She quickly spun around and flew full speed towards the secret Griffon canyon base. She hoped she could reach them in time.
Later in Manehatten
Princess Celestia couldn't believe what she saw. There was about 100 dead changelings and a good 400 griffons scattered on the ground of the once majestic entrance. She searched the towns ruins frantically. All she could find was corpses of the ponies that had once lived in this city. What she found filled her with dread.
Some bodies had the same wounds caused by the things the Humans had. After closer inspection she found out that some of the changelings bodies that littered the ground were equipped with a smaller version of the weapons and some more things she hadn't even seen yet. On an even closer inspection she found out that on the suit that covered the changelings flanks in the place of were a cutie mark would go. It was a scorpion tail. It was the symbol of Nod.
Princess Celestia was shocked. The changelings were helping the Brotherhood of Nod? She began to walk away from the scene towards the carriage. Nothing else could be done here, every living thing had been slaughtered. As she was about to step into the carriage something shiny caught her eye. Something in the collapsed road was glowing and shining a bright green. As she stepped closer she saw that is was a crystal of some sort. As she looked closer she noticed it was everywhere. A guard who was standing beside it let out a groan and collapsed. The stallion began to scream and yell in terror as he began to mutate into a fleshy brownish pod. Princess Celestia began to run towards him and it hit her. The crystals were emitting a gas and when the guard stepped inside it did something to him.
"Stay away from the gas! Its very dangerous! We have to get out of here!" With that Princess Celestia rode towards the nearest town to warn them of the threat. She cannot let this happen again.
1 hour earlier in Manehatten
"Dump the Tiberium into this crater! It will spread faster if the gas pools into an area! Just be careful! If you come in contact with the crystal or idle in the gas for too long the radiation will mutate you!" The changelings gladly followed orders and poured the canister of 3 small Tiberium crystals into the crater. As if almost immediately the crystals began to spew gas around the edges of the crystal surface. The crystal started to get larger!
"Lets get out of here! Back to base! Double time!" The venom flew back towards the base and the changelings unfolded their wings and followed. More crystals began to form on the ground. Soon the crater will be filled with it.
Present time in the Nod base
A changeling landed in front of John.
"General we have tracked the griffon as you requested. She is on the outskirts of what looks like a secret base." John nodded and began to walk towards the command MCV.
"Good, carry on soldier" John entered the MCV. He saw Queen Chrysalis across from him looking out the window. John had taken quite a liking to Queen Chrysalis, she seemed to be very reliable. But for now he needed to figure out where the griffon capitol was located. "Queen Chrysalis might I have a word with you?" She turned to him.
"Would do you need General?" She sat in her modified seat that the mechanics had designed for her. She also had taken a liking to the General. How could she not? She had basically been rescued by him. If he had wanted he could have killed her and her subjects with a blink of an eye. But he didn't, instead he took her in to the Brotherhood. He even promised that she would get her city back.
"You had said your forces had infiltrated an abundance of cities right? Do you know the location of the griffon capitol? Queen Chrysalis had been educated on how to work the holograms within the last few hours. She pulled up a map on the hologram and pointed her hoof to the location of the griffon capitol.
"It is right here. If you're planning to attack it then you need to know this. The griffons leader, the "Emperor" is about twice the size of a normal griffon and is extremely dangerous. I had fought him trying to defend my city as his forces destroyed everything I loved... He had proven to be a dangerous foe, I had to retreat. That is why I was in the forest the day you found me. I had lost..." Queen Chrysalis stopped herself from letting out a tear. The General noticed this.
"I will avenge your city and its people. They removed your city from the map... I will remove their city from existence..." John could see that the city meant a lot to Queen Chrysalis. He wouldn't let that go unpunished, he will make the griffons pay for ever harming her. He left the MCV and walked up to the nearest com booth.
"I want 1000 soldiers at the ready! 500 Changelings and 500 Humans! Ready the carryall's! Send 30 avatars up ahead to the treeline of the secret griffon base and keep them hidden. We attack on my command with me in the front lines! One more thing... Arm 3 nuclear warheads..." John satisfied left the booth to see the avatars already leaving the gate and soldiers running to get ready for the assault.
Meanwhile at the griffon base
Gilda had been out of breath. She had been flying nonstop to the base. She landed on the grass to the entrance of the huge canyon. Three armed griffon guards stormed out towards her.
"Halt in the name of the Emperor!" Gilda marched up to them.
"Look here guards I am commander Gilda of the 27th airborne legion! Stand aside!" The guards gave their apologies and saluted. Gilda returned a salute and flew up to the command tent on the top of the canyon. She entered the tent and the generals turned to her.
"Gilda? What are you doing back already? What about the town, whats its condition?" The general awaited a response. Gilda gulped.
"The town is lost, a horde of changelings and some metal creature attacked us... I was the only survivor. The metal creature kept me alive to deliver a message..." She gulped again. " It told me to say... That soon the Brotherhood will destroy all that is dear to us. and... To have a nice day..." As if on que the large metal creature shot the tent and the linen tent evaporated revealing the griffons.
"Ah, good. You delivered my message. I would like to personally deliver a message though, here it is. Attack!!!" The creature swung around and flew towards the forest. Large bi-pedal machines began to stand and their heads peaked up through the treeline. Hundreds of bi-pedal creatures and changelings began to charge shooting flames and explosives as well as riddling griffons soldiers with bullets. The griffon generals turned to Gilda.
"You need to alert the Emperor! We need reinforcements!" Gilda saluted and was about to take off towards the capitol when the metal creature flew up to them again.
"Its to late. Watch as your capitol is reduced to ash! Hahaha... LAUNCH THE MISSILES NOW!!!" In the distance Gilda and the three generals watched as 3 large pointed objects flew straight into the sky with fire bellowing out the bottom. The objects tilted and flew towards the capitol. Gilda watched in horror and they came closer and closer to the capitol.
"Hey daddy? What are those things?" The little griffon poked her father and pointed at the 3 pointed log-like things flying towards them. The father adjusted his eyes and froze at the sight. They were coming straight for them, It looked like some kind of dragon thing.
"Hurry we have to get inside!" The father picked up his daughter and began to run towards his house. Peering back to see the things getting even closer.
"But daddy! What if they want to meet us? What if they want to be our frien-..."
Gilda watched as one by one the large "Missile" things exploded into massive explosions causing three mushroom-like clouds to form. A large ring extended flattening everything it touched as she could see. Even from this distance she could feel the heat. She dropped to the ground. The metal creature began to open its mouth... No it was some kind of hatch.
"Looks like your Emperor is under a lot of "Heat" right now. Your Emperor is dead and the capitol is now a burning wasteland. Enjoy the last few minutes of your life." The bi-pedal creature extended his arm holding some stick like object. It pointed it towards her and its claw tensed over the object. *BANG* Gilda felt a sharp pain in her chest and she dropped to the ground.
"Ha... You d- didn't kill me you b- bastard!" Gilda coughed up some blood onto the red canyon rock, she was getting a little dizzy.
"Oh it wasn't meant to kill you. Just to let you feel a fraction of the pain that is about to come. Arm the fourth warhead." Gilda was confused. Arm the fourth warhead? What is that supposed to mean?
"Retreat men! Carryall's pick up the soldiers and avatars! Return to base!" Off to the distance larger metal creatures picked up the changelings and bi-pedal creatures and machines. They begun to fly off to were the large "Missile" things launched from. Gilda with some of her last strength added.
"I hope you die a painful death..." She tried to stand but didn't have the strength. She continued to sit giving an intimidating look to the creature.
"Are you trying to scare me? Hahaha. Well farewell. I like my bird cooked so the explosion will do the trick! Enjoy these last few minutes for they will be your last. Launch the missile." The hatch closed around him and it flew off towards the now launching missile. She crawled into a nearby hole and watched as the large object exploded and the fiery ring consumed her.
Meanwhile on Princess Celestia's carriage
Princess Celestia had seen the explosions. Almost everything in a 50 mile radius could have seen it. She focused her magic into a teleportation spell and summoned Luna and Daniels to her. Luna and Daniels materialized beside her. Luna was the first to speak.
"Sister! What has happen to the night sky?" Her jaw dropped at the sight of the 4 mushroom shaped clouds that were in the distance.
"Sister is that a new spell? You have outdone yourself!" Luna had thought that Princess Celestia had conjured up some artificial sunlight. Daniels looked in horror. He knew what they were. They were Nuclear detonations. He turned to Luna.
"No! They aren't some spell! They are... My god... They are Nuclear detonations... Nod just fired Nuclear missiles onto some city... If they just flat out just Nuked a city if they found out about Canterlot well... There will be no Canterlot!" Luna realizing now what they were was horrified. Princess Celestia paused. She turned to Daniels.
"We have to summon that portal at Ponyville now! After we will look for survivors at the griffon capitol. Hopefully this time there will be survivors... And none of those green crystals." Daniels froze in fear. Princess Celestia looked at him curious to what she said made him freeze. No survivors she thought.
"D- Did you say "GREEN" "CRYSTALS"?" Daniels hoped she was wrong. Princess Celestia thought to herself again. The green crystals scared him? Strange.
"Yes, green crystals. Is there something wrong with that? Daniels continued to be stiff and she could sense his heartbeat elevate. Then she remembered him telling her about the "Tiberium". It began to make sense.
"Wait... You think it is Tiberium? We should head there immediately and make sure." She was about to instruct the guard pegasus to fly to Manehatten when Daniels broke free from his frozen-like stance.
"You didn't touch it or anything like that did you?" The Princess thought hard back to when the guard entered the green mist.
"No but one of my guards went into the mist and began to... Convulse and he transformed into a fleshy brown pod."
"That answers your question then. It is Tiberium. The guard had been infected with the radiation from the crystals. It is highly lethal." The Princess was shocked. She had not known the Tiberium was "THIS" dangerous.
"Let us go to your world, I will first summon the entrance portal there. After I will summon the exit portal in Ponyville." Daniels nodded and braced himself for the teleport.
Meanwhile in the GDI outpost
"Director Boyle! The troops are prepared sir. I thought we would enter the portal 7 hours ago!" Parker was getting anxious. Did the ponies lose? Was the defense called off? So many questions ran through his mind.
"I- I don't know Parker I thought the exact thing too!" The Director took a seat and witnessed Princess Celestia, Princess Luna and Daniels materialize in front of him.
"We are ready to summon the portal. Prepare your forces to set up camp." With that said Princess Celestia and Princess Luna lowered theirs heads and their horns glowed. Two streams began to shoot outside in front of the army and a large portal began to open up.
"W- We need more power..." Another pony materialized and joined in with the spell.
"Don't worry I'm here!" The Purple unicorn began to strain with the power of the spell was casting. Then it happened. A shock wave rang out. The 3 ponies dematerialized and minutes later the portal glowed bright and it dimmed... It opened... GDI forces began to storm through.
"I had better get out there!" Parker yelled as he ran outside and climbed into a nearby Juggernaut. The Juggernaut sparked to life and walked into the portal.
Meanwhile in Ponyville
Rainbow Dash had been enjoying her cloud when out of nowhere all she could here was rumbling and the ground shaking. She turned her head towards the noise. She didn't believe what she was seeing. Massive metal machines seemed to drive out of a portal. Behind those were huge 2 legged monsters. She was frightened until it happened...
A larger bird like machine flew out of the portal at an extremely fast speed. At first she heard nothing but then *BAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGG* The loud sound shock wave hit her ears almost sending her flying off her cloud. Her eyes lit up.
"Sooo awesome!" Then in formation 5 more flew out. After that 10 more came then 20 then 50! She was surrounded by these "Jets" Daniels had told her so much about. She couldn't wait for that race he promised her.
Back in the Nod base
Queen Chrysalis couldn't believe what SHE had just seen. In a blink on an eye the griffon capitol had just been destroyed. She had awaited the Generals return. The General entered the MCV.
"General! You have done it! I could never repay you for such a feat! You crushed my enemies and avenged me. You also shown that once again the changelings are a force to be reckoned with. Your people... They even treat us like one of them... I could never have dreamed something like this could have even happened!" Queen Chrysalis turned around again just to see the glorious sight of the griffon capitol burning.
"I was my pleasure. If you need me I will be in my MCV." He began to walk out of the MCV. Queen Crysalis turned away from the window.
"General wait! I need to ask. What is your real name? It can't be Nightscar. After hearing the other Human names it can't be a real name." He stopped.
"You're right. My name isn't actually Nightscar. My real name is John." He continued out of the MCV and closed the door. John? She liked that name.
Here you go! A four thousand word chapter. Next chapter will have more of the Mane 6 now. I hope you enjoyed. ~TheMossiah
The True Land Of Nod. (C&C)
Chapter 5: Bluezone Equestria
"Go go go! Get the civilians out of here!" Daniels was breathing heavily. Something grabed him and threw him straight into the ground.
"Get the fuck down!" Quickly recovering from the fall he spun around to see who pushed him and then he saw it. His squad mates... His friends covered in the aliens thick acid. He primed a grenade and threw it into the aliens mouth.
"Eat this you mother fu-" The grenade exploded sending Daniels flying across the room. In the corner of his eye he saw a smaller alien creature moving towards him. It extended its claws... He knew what was coming.
"KILL ME! KILL ME RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!!" The creature gladly lifted its claw and brought it down...
"What?! I'm not going to kill you! Its me! Rainbow Dash! Wake up!" She continued to push him with her hooves. Daniels eyes flew open.
"Wha- What? Oh... It was just a nightmare..." He began to rub his eyes. He was sweating and was very tensed. He finally noticed the slightly confused cyan pegasus beside him.
"Sorry for scaring you. I didn't mean to! Honest!" She sat back waiting for his reply. Daniels shook his head.
"No its fine, you didn't frighten me. Just a bad dream." He began to stand up now noticing how sweaty he really was. He looked around for a shower or bath. He turned to the pegasus again. "Don't suppose you know where a shower or bath is?" The pegasus nodded her head.
"Yeah, we have a town bath. Follow me!" She got up and left his tent. He got up and followed. After a minute of walking into the town they both arrived at a large building. The pegasus was peaking inside.
"Were here, and it looks like no pony is inside. I will wait out here." Daniels nodded and entered the musty bath house. It reminded him of old roman bath houses he read about in school. He removed his clothing and entered the bath. He hadn't felt as relaxing as this in a very long time. He grabbed what had looked like soap and began to wash himself. After a quick rinse he left the pool of hot water. He started to look around.
"Shit... No towels." He thought about using some of the dry wash clothes as a towel when he heard a window open. He turned around to see how it opened.
"Hey! I thought you might need this towe- whoa..." She began to blush. Daniels didn't understand why until he noticed where she was looking. He had been used to being naked around other people that he almost didn't notice it. He tried to defuse the situation.
"What? Never seen a male's genitals before? I thought most ponies walked around naked." She continued to blush. She threw him the towel. He turned around and began to dry himself.
"We learned in schools that they only came out when they were aroused..." Daniels thought about what she just said. Oh no... Did she think... "So... Daniels... What have you been doing or thinking about?" Fuck... He quickly replied.
"Oh so you think... Well let me explain. Humans genitals are always out, it kinda how it is for us." Daniels began to redress himself. The look the pegasus gave him was the "I'm not buying it" look. He walked towards the door slightly embarrassed with what just went down. "Lets get to the command tent, I need to speak with General Parker." The pegasus nodded and followed him still blushing. He was never going to live this down...
After about 10 minutes Daniels finally spotted the command tent. As he neared it he could hear talking inside. It was the voices of Princess Celestia, Princess Luna and General Parker.
"We will begin securing this town soon, once we get our MCV's into position. You said they were in that forest? Maybe some of our juggernauts could fire some salvos right into them." Daniels entered the tent with the cyan pegasus. He saw how shocked the Princesses were after hearing Parker just give the command to kill in a calm fashion.
"We will try to send some guards here to with locking the town down. Luna? Please return to canterlot and mobilize a large force of the royal guard and send them here." Luna gave a quick nod and left the tent. Princess Celestia turned to see a familiar human and the element of loyalty standing next to him.
"So what are the plans General? Am I rolling infantry? Air support? Just please don't stick me in one of those damn juggernauts!" Daniels knew the juggernauts were prone to attack. A few missiles to a leg and the whole thing topples and will most likely detonate the ammo rack.
"I don't know yet. Go relax for the time being, you deserve it. I will have something for you to do later." With that Parker turned around and continued to speak strategy with Princess Celestia. Daniels shrugged and left the tent. Something looked wrong. The air about 10 feet from him was distorted... Oh no...
The stealth tank pilot didn't believe what he was seeing. He was sent to scout and see the military strength of the village. Instead of finding guards he saw... GDI... He began to look all around him. They were everywhere. Predator tanks, juggernauts and even... Mammoth tanks... Almost everything GDI had to offer was here.
"Ugh sir? I have spotted a large force sir..." As much as he didn't want to be the bearer of bad news he had to say it. He prepared for the yelling...
"What is it Shadow 4?" Kane had sounded very calm. The pilot braced himself for what comes next...
"The force is composed of... GDI sir..." The pilot moved his headset a little farther from his ears.
"WHAT?! GDI? How could they possibly get here??? We have the only portal and it is disabled! Mark my words pilot if this is a joke I will have you exiled to that horrible forest!" The pilot began to type some things in on the tanks console.
"Uploading live feed now." The camera buzzed to life.
"Bring all nuclear missiles online!" Kane was speaking to the base AI now. Kane was met with the machine like voice.
"Negative. We are in blast radius." Kane began to think. He had it. He grabbed the intercom.
"Ready the Ion Tank, Prepare it for firing." He was met by a nervous technician this time.
"But sir, it must cool down or else we risk overloading the cannon!" Kane fumbled with his fingers.
"Fine but aim the weapon at that town and once its cooled down on my order it fires." The technician made a grunting like noise and hung up the intercom. He will make GDI suffer for coming to his world...
"GET OUT OF THE WAY!" Daniels shoved the cyan pegasus behind a wall.
"Hey what was that for!" She turned to she Daniels running into the street. Well he certainly wasn't what she thought. How could he do that? Push me over and run off?
"NOD! NOD IN THE BASE!!!" Daniels hopped onto the tank. He began to fumble around for the hatch. By now the tank dropped its illusion and the 2 missiles fired and exploded were Rainbow Dash was just at before Daniels pushed her.
Rainbow Dash sat with her jaw dropped. She saw a large bug-like machine with what looked like a large dome eye. Daniels was on top of it fumbling around with a bar. He wrapped his hand around it.
The tank began to drive as quickly as it could trying to shake the GDI soldier off. Daniels grabbed the hatch and tore it off. He reached in and ripped the Nod pilot out and threw him to the ground. He reached in and shut off the engines before jumping off and landing on top of the Pilot
"Take this you mother fucker!" Daniels started to violently smash the pilots helmet. It had been made to withstand bullets but that didn't stop Daniels. After 3 punches the helmet's visor started to crack, and with every punch it warped and cracked even more.
"I give up! I give up!" Rainbow Dash could hear the red and black human say. She expected her friend to stop but to no avail he began to increase the ferocity of the punches. Finally the visor shattered and the pilot fainted. Princess Celestia's horn began to glow and grabbed Daniels before he could bring the finally blow to the pilot.
"That is quite enough Daniels." Her voice boomed. She levitated Daniels behind her and Parker grabbed the pilot and began to yell in his face.
"Why the hell are you here? Are there more of you?" By now Parker noticed the pilot was unconscious. Out of the corner of his eyes he saw a bright yellow pony with a pink mane walk towards him.
"How dare you yell at this poor creature! Can't you see hes hurt!" She gave Parker a stare and he backed off. The bright yellow pony trotted over to the unconscious pilot. "Its ok, Fluttershy will take care of you. She dragged him into a tent.
"Well then... I will question him later. The rest of you! Stay on high alert! Do not let this happen again!" All the GDI soldiers saluted except Daniels. He was still dazed by the Princesses magic. He began to return to Parker's tent when he was cut off by the cyan pegasus.
"Ugh... I guess... Thank you for saving me... And hey call me Rainbow Dash already!" Daniels could see she was slightly blushing again. Why did she find him so interesting?
"No problem... Rainbow Dash." Her eyes went wide. She jumped in front of him again.
"No problem? No Problem?! You just saved my life!" Daniels walked around her and continued to the tent.
"Yeah, no problem... You know what? Here." He pulled out his ear peice. "General? I need a firehawk... Copy that." He switched something off on his ear piece. "Come with me." Was she finally going to get that race? He climbed up on the massive bird-like machine.
"How do these work?" She was curious, she never seen them flap the wings or anything. Daniels turned his head and smiled.
"I'll show you." The hatch shut and the machine lifted off the ground at an amazing speed. She flew up to the hatch again. The hatch once again opened. "Here use this." He grabbed her and put a device in here ear. the hatch closed. "Can you hear me?" She was shocked. She could speak with him? How?
"Yeah, I can hear you. Can you hear me?" She looked into the tinted glass only able to see her reflection.
"Yup I can hear you, ready for that race?" Her eyes filled with excitement.
"Oh yeah! Lets do this! Readysetgo!" She shot forward. Daniels laughed and pulled the throttle to half easily passing her. He could hear her gasp when he shot ahead.
"Comon! You gotta keep up!" He chuckled. She looked at the machine again.
"You ain't seen nothing yet!" She shot ahead. His jaw dropped. They were going at mach 4 and she passed him! He was determined.
"Ok then here it is!" He slammed the throttle to max. To his surprise this worlds air allowed him to go much faster then he anticipated. His face slammed back against the set he peered down to see he was at mach 6 and a cone of air was forming on the nose of the firehawk.
"What the-" The firehawk broke the cone and let out a piercing sound. *waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa- BAAAANNNNNGGGG* A dark shroud fired from behind the firehawk like a sonic boom... but visible... His speed shot to mach 10! Behind him a darkened shroud of blackness followed his firehawk like he was laying down a smoke screen.
Rainbow Dash couldn't believe her eyes. It just pulled off a sonic rainboom... No a sonic... Darkboom? Her jaw had dropped once again. She heard buzzing noise behind her and saw 2 machines. They were black with red decals. They looked like some sort of dragon flies. Underneath what looked like a head 2 familiar stick like things dropped out and took aim on her. The began to glow red but stopped short as two missiles impacted the sides of the machines. Daniels slowed to a hover and he opened his hatch.
"Get in! NOW!" She quickly flew into his co-pilot seat. The hatch lowered and he slowly increases his throttle untill once again the darkened sonic boom fired again. what had originally taken them 10 minutes to fly out there, they returned in 2 minutes. They safely landed on the crudely set up airfield.
"Whoa... How did you do that?" Rainbow Dash was amazed at what the "Firehawk" could do. Daniels just shook his head.
"I- I don't know. We could never do that back in Earth." By then hundreds of ponies and soldiers alike came to see what caused the massive sonic booms. Daniels and Rainbow Dash just stood there as General Parker, Princess Celestia and the rest of the elements arrived all with their jaws dropped. Twilight was the first to speak.
"How... How did you do that?" She backed off. Princess Celestia had her horn charged and was in an attacking stance. He looked at Daniels.
"Only something with a dark past can pull that off... Only something with the genes of a monster could do that... What are you related to?" Daniels thought really hard. He hadn't done anything extremely bad so he thought back to his heritage. His father came from Russia back in 1987. His fathers father was born in 1947... Oh no... And his fathers father was 25 during 1946... And he was a Russia. Could he have been... No...
"I do not know I could even do this. I have never done anything bad, but... I think I know who did... Are you able to see the memories of other peoples parents through their genes?" The Princesses nodded.
"Yes I can. Do you wish me to read their memories?" Daniels thought for a moment. He too was curious. He nodded. "Very well." She lowered her head again and put her horn onto Daniels forehead.
His eyes opened to the memory of his father as he was born. It changed, now it was his fathers father returning from a day of work. It shifted from the city to a snowy wasteland. Bombs were exploding and people were speaking in a different language.
"Вражеский танк!" He knew what language that was. He could see the memory through the mans eyes like it was his own. The man was carrying an AK-47. He turned and looked at 3 other soldiers. He pointed at them and then pointed at a snowy sherman tank that was engulfed in flames. Three men began to exit it.
"Пленных не брать!" If he was correct the man just yelled "Take no prisoners". He watched in horror as the four men took aim and opened fire killing the three men climbing out of the burning wreck.
He opened his eyes. Princess Celestia's face was filled with horror.
"So... So much death... How does your world survive?" Daniels was furious. He had been related to a murder. That is why he had not known much about his great grandfather. They had hid it from him. He just sat there stunned. Parker walked up to him and put a hand on his shoulder.
"We can't change the past. We can only create the future. Lets defend this place. This bluezone... Bluezone Equestria."
The True Land Of Nod. (C&C)
Chapter 6: Victory Through Sacrifice
Chapter 6: Victory Through Sacrifice
Princess Celestia tilted her head in confusion, so did the other ponies. Daniels didn't understand why untill he thought back to what parker said "Bluezone Equestria".
"What is a "Bluezone" General?" Parker lifted his hand off Daniels shoulder. He turned to Princess Celestia.
"Well a bluezone is-" Daniels stood up and cut off Parker.
"A bluezone is a location where there is minimal Tiberium infection or no infection at all. Its like this. Bluezones like I said, yellowzones which have medium infection and are just barely habitable and finally redzones. Redzones have almost maximum infection and are uninhabitable." Daniels sighed. Parker motioned the Princess away and the other ponies to give him some space.
"I- is everything alright?" Rainbow Dash was concerned. He had the look of major depression.
"Everything is just going fan-fucking-tastic. First I have to deal with the guilt of losing my squad members and now I know my grandfather was practically Nod..." Daniels slammed the ground with his fist leaving a deep imprint. He needed something to do. He walked up to Parker who was now trying to get rid of an annoying pink pony he believes is named Pinkie Pie.
"Not now, a time like this does not deserve a party." The pony was determined.
"Awwww comon please? There will be lots of cupcakes and balloons!" She tried to pull off the puppy eyes.
"No and thats my final answer- Oh! Daniels, your up and about again. What do you need?" Daniels leaned against a nearby pole.
"Do you have anything to do? I need to get my mind off all of this." Parker stroked his chin and looked around. He saw the unfinished barricade next to the east side of town close to the forest.
"Yes it looks like the barricade is unfinished, think you could get into a juggernaut and do some heavy moving?" Daniels nodded and moved towards the juggernaut.
"Hey... Rainbow Dash is it? Come over here!" She gladly trotted over
"What is it Daniels?" He began to climb the ladder on the juggernaut.
"Wanna see how this baby works?" Rainbow Dash flew into the air and started to look the behemoth over.
"Sure!" Daniels gave a nod and entered the machine. He switched it on and made it stand at its full height.
"This is the MK III Juggernaut. It has three 200mm cannons capable of tearing anything it shoots at to shreds. It is equipped with a medium strength armor to give it extra speed and more flexibility." He extended a crane that picked up a massive clump of sandbags and moved it into position. "Its major weakness is the legs, they are very vulnerable to damage." As he moved the walker towards to next pile of sandbags he saw something in the forest. It seemed Rainbow Dash saw it too.
"Whats that Daniels?" She pointed a hoof towards the forest. He squinted his eyes trying to get a better look on it. Oh no... It was the same light an Avatar emitted.
"Get back to Parker! Its an Avatar! Go quickly!" He spun the walker to face the Avatar. "Hey! You look a little chilly!" He loaded a HEAT round into each of the cannons. "Let me help you with that!" He didn't have time to deploy the leg flaps so to control the recoil he began to run forward.
"Take that you Nod bastard!" He fired off one round, It blew the avatar back but it held its ground charging its beam cannon. He shot the second round blowing off the avatars cannon arm. He was too close by now, another shot would do damage to him as well... He knew what he had to do. He lowered the cannons downward and as it impacted the avatar he pulled the cannons back up send the avatar flying to the ground. The avatar began to charge his last cannon. Daniels quickly aimed the unfired cannon to the avatars chest.
Rainbow Dash had gotten Parker and with him followed 5 rocket soldiers ready to end the avatar. She turned the corner and watched as the guns pointed at the massive black machine. He had still had his 2 way intercom on with Rainbow Dash. She watched in horror as she heard Daniels yell.
"Eat this!" He fired the round and braced for impact. The round exploded in the avatars chest effectively blowing it to pieces. Time slowed down. It was like he could see the sonic boom move towards him. The shockwave hit the juggernaut and it sent it flying. He saw as the glass warped then shattered like a slow motion movie. Finally it hit him... It felt like a car slammed into his chest and head. To add to that, glass flew around him and some sliced into his face. Everything started to go dark...
John was enjoying his relaxing time in his MCV. He had just eaten a meal fit for a king. He was in the middle of drinking a glass of water as a changeling dressed in Nod attire walked in.
"Oh glorious general! Kane wishes to speak with you right away! He also wanted me to give you this." The changeling handed him his gauss rifle. Oh this cannot be good... John nodded and handed the changeling some of his bread.
"Good job, return to the barracks." The changeling seemed to cherish the bread like it was a newborn baby and left the tent. John put the rifle on to the magnetic holster on his back and lightly jogged towards Kane's MCV. He entered to find the infrared lights on.
"Ah good you're here. I have grave news general. It seems GDI is here. Earlier a stealth tank was able to get live video feed of the GDI camp. I sent out an avatar to confirm it but I lost contact with it here." He pointed at a place called Ponyville. It seemed to be just outside the forest.
"GDI? How did they get here? We have the portal!" John couldn't believe it. There was no way GDI forces were in this world.
"I know that but somehow they must have acquired another portal. I don't know! The ion cannon is still cooling down and the nuclear warheads are out of the question." Kane retorted. John slammed his fist on a desk.
"Why can't we use our nukes? They worked perfectly fine on the Griffon capitol! Kane shook his head.
"I am fully aware of the power of the nukes. That is why they are out of the question. We are inside the blast radius of the warheads. If we fire them we risk getting consumed in the fallout." John eased up.
"What is the plan then?" Kane started to bring up maps on a hologram He pointed to the edge of the forest.
"I want you to mobilize about half our men to the forest edge. Once the battle begins I will launch 20 or so armageddon bombers and flatten their capitol of Canterlot. Once the city has been flattened 10 more bombers will fly over and drop some newly harvested Tiberium." John was shocked at the plan Kane had come up with. John simply nodded.
"So when do we move out?" Kane switched the intercom on.
"Now." The he placed the intercom down. Almost immediately John heard movement outside the MCV. He looked out the window. He saw hundreds of changelings and humans alike scrambling to get equipment. Kane stepped onto the MCV's balcony.
"Brothers! Today we destroy GDI! Down with the oppressors! Down with GDI!!!" The crowd stopped and turned to Kane. They began to jump and cheer chanting "Down with the oppressors! Down with GDI!" over and over and continued to secure their equipment. By now all changelings had been equipped with the new weapons. Kane turned to John.
"Also I have a present. To spearhead the attack you have access 3 Nod acquired MARV's to destroy their defensive front. Do not fail me General." Kane nodded and inside was giddy with excitement. The MARV's get to come out to play.
"I will not fail you Kane. GDI will fall." John loaded a clip into his rifle and gave a salute to Kane as he left the MCV. Soon GDI will fall...
Daniels eyes flew open. He scanned his surroundings. He seemed to be in one of the Pony's hospitals. He ripped the hospital blanket off himself and removed the IV and stood up. He looked in the nearest mirror. He looked like a monster. Scars covered his face, two of which were very distinct. One scar ranged from his forehead down through his right eye and ended at his chin. The other went from this right ear across his right cheek into the chin as well. He could hear sobbing and the door to his room opened.
"Daniels?" It was Rainbow Dash. She stopped her crying. "Daniels!!!" She jumped on him and knocked him to the floor. "You're alright!" She started to rub her head in his chest. Then she looked in his eyes. Her smile faded. "How could you do that! You almost got yourself killed!" She started to pull at his shirt but let go.
"Whats wrong? How long have I been out?" She started to lightly sob again.
"Only for two hours..." Two hours? He had felt like he had been in that state for months.
"You were worried about me being unconscious for two hours?" She wiped her tears with her hoof.
"They said while you seemed to defy logic and came out of that wreck with no fractures, something in your brain lost the fight. They said you were brain dead!" So that's why he had felt like he was out for so long. But it still didn't explain why she was so worried.
"I don't get it though... Why are YOU so worried about ME?" She once again sucked back a tear.
"Didn't you get the hints? I like you... I didn't want you to die." Daniels eyes went wide. A sudden wave of emotion hit him. He didn't know what to say. He crouched next to her and wiped off her tears with his sleeve.
"I'm so sorry... I just... I didn't know you had feelings for someone like me." She put her hooves on his shoulders and looked into his eyes.
"Don't do anything like that again! I just don't want to see you go..." He looked at the ground. He couldn't comprehend the situation.
"I promi-" He was cut off by a GDI soldier entering the room and throwing down an officer combat uniform and placed a rifle next to it.
"Commander! Parker needs you immediately! Get your uniform and weapon and meet him in his tent." The soldier quickly spun around and ran out of the room. Daniels grabbed his uniform and changed into it. He then holstered his rifle on his back.
"Lets go!" Rainbow Dash nodded and followed him out of the hospital.
Rainbow Dash and Daniels entered the command tent. Princess Celestia and Luna were standing across from Parker. They were all looking at a 3D hologram of the town. In the forest about 10 minutes away showed a lot of movement. The trees shook and wobbled.
"Daniels your up. Good to see you but we have more important matters to attend to. As you can see on the map the trees are being disturbed and it looks like some smoke is rising from the treeline. It also seems there is 3 large anomalies moving in the forest toppling trees with ease. We have to expect this is Nod." The Princesses nodded and Daniels nodded in agreement as well.
"What did you get out of the prisoner?" Parker turned to Daniels.
"Well all I could get out of him was that Nod had teamed up with a large army of "Changelings" and they have modernized them to fight along side the humans." Daniels was shocked. Nod had managed to get help from another speices and worst... Weaponized them?
"How much time do we have until they arrive?" Parker began to do some measurements on the hologram.
"I estimate we have 13 minutes until their force arrives." Daniels nodded.
"Then lets get to the front lines. Princesses, keep your subjects safe." Celestia and Luna nodded and left the tent. Parker threw on a combat vest with General-like decals on it. He slapped a fresh clip inside his rifle and ran to the hastily constructed trenches. From there they waited... They waited for what seemed like hours. Finally they heard a bush rustle in the distance. They all spoke in faint whispers.
"Hey did you hear that?" Daniels trained his rifle on the bush.
"Yeah I heard it let me bring up my thermals." Parker removed a scope and slipped it onto his rifle. "Here we go."
"What do you see?" Daniels hoped it was just an animal and it wasn't Nod troops.
"It- It looks like a pony! It also looks like its hurt. I can't see any Nod out there, lets call the pony to us." Daniels nodded and sucked in a large breath.
"Hey! Are you hurt come over here!" They could hear a twig snap and out came the dark green pony. It had some cuts and bruises. It began to limp over to the barricade. Pinkie Pie had noticed the pony...
"A new pony!" She ran out to meet him. Princess Celestia trained her eyes on the mysterious pony. Her face filled with dread. The pony's eyes flashed green...
"Parker get her out of there!" Parker nodded and jumped the barricade. dropping his gun and moving at full speed.
"Pinkie Pie NO!" He grabbed the pink pony turned and started to run. It was no use, the pony morphed into its normal form which was covered in explosives.
"Down with GDI!" It hissed and slammed a hoof on a switch. Parker threw the pony behind the barricade.
"Fuuuuccckkk-" The changeling exploded sending Parker flying into the barricade. Daniels quickly jumped the barricade and dragged Parker behind the wall.
"Don't die on me damn it!" Parker coughed spewing blood. He turned and looked at Daniels. Daniels could see Parker's eyes almost devoid of life.
"V- victory th- through sacrifice... G- good luck gen- general..." Parker's head fell back against the grass. Daniels shut his eyelids and removed his dog tags.
"Damn it Parker! I will make them pay!" Daniels turned to the soldiers standing next to him.
"What is our orders sir? You're next in command." Daniels was filled with anger.
"Your orders? Your orders are to kill every fucking last one of them!!!" Daniels took aim at the forest, now teaming with Nod soldiers. "Kill them all!" Daniels opened fire on the troops killing multiple soldiers. To his left 3 avatars started to move up to a juggernaut. It attempted to do what Daniels did but the 3 avatars grabbed it and held it down. 1 Of them smashed its claw into the pilots seat and ripped out the man inside. Daniels turned away to avoid witnessing what happens next.
"Bring the mammoth tanks to the front lines and pound these mother fuckers!" The soldiers saluted and sprinted for the tanks. After about 3 minutes of continuous fire the tanks arrived with some predators as well. They all opened fire. The forest was getting ripped apart. Missiles and HE rounds detonated in the trees ripping them to shreds. Not only were the Nod forces taking heavy casualties but so did GDI forces as well. Then Daniels saw it.
"What the hell are those???" Three MARV's plowed through the trees. They were in line formation and the middle MARV had a familiar person sticking out of the hatch.
"Haha! Die you GDI dogs! Taste the power of the black hand!" On que blank hand soldiers piled out of the MARV's and fired their flamethrowers into the fray. Daniels saw 4 soldiers completely engulfed in the flames. He pushed it out of his mind and tried to put down the leader, Nightscar...
From behind him 3 more juggernauts joined the battle and they focused fire on the far left MARV. After 2 payloads the MARV's cannon exploded and the ammo rack detonated sending shrapnel flying in all directions. This gave GDI a morale boost seeing the large monster of a tank explode. The juggernauts began to focus fire on the right MARV now. After they fired their first payload the middle MARV, housing the infamous general opened fire on the juggernauts. 2 of the juggernauts fell under the massive tanks fire power.
"My job is done here! Fall back!" The massive MARV's began to reverse back into the woods. The surviving nod forces fled for the treeline as well. Daniels thought to himself. "My job is done here" What? What was he planning to do-. He watched as about 30 bombers flew at them. No wait, they harmlessly passed by why would they-.
"They're flying towards Canterlot!" Twilight said as she ran towards Daniels. "You have to stop them!" Daniels nodded and quickly climbed in a firehawk.
"All firehawks! Destroy the bombers! Go go go!" Daniels lifted off. Rainbow Dash indiscreetly followed him... Daniels quickly brought the firehawk to full speed, once again causing the strange sonic "dark"boom Rainbow Dash liked to call it. He brought his missiles online but it was too late. The first 20 bombers began to level the city. Buildings and shops exploded. Daniels managed to shoot down 4 of the bombers but the damage was done. He now noticed the 10 other bombers fly towards the city.
"Haven't they done enough?" Daniels was surprised when he got an answer.
"We gotta stop them!" It was Rainbow Dash. She still had the intercom he gave her, and it seemed at the hospital she slipped it back in his ear too.
"You shouldn't of come here! You could have been killed by their aircraft!" Daniels now saw the bombers start dropping large metal tubes to the ground. At first he thought they were nukes but as the first one hit the ground it shattered. Hundreds of small green crystals spreed out across the ground. Daniels cursed under his breath.
"Get in we have to get out of here." Rainbow Dash nodded and entered the cockpit. They flew back to Ponyville at full speed.
The True Land Of Nod. (C&C)
Chapter 7: The Begining Of The End
John watched as the bombers landed one by one. He noticed that some had failed to return. He began to move toward Kane's MCV hoping to start phase two of the plan. He entered and noticed Kane speaking to someone on the intercom.
"How much longer for the Ion Cannon?... Good prepare it for firing. If we can't have this world no one can!" John waited for Kane to put down his intercom. "Ah, General you are here. Ready for the next step to our plan?" John nodded.
"Yes I am ready. What is next?" Kane turned from him and brought up a 3D map. He circled an area close to the edge of the forest.
"I want all remaining forces to set up a line of trenches and spots for our tanks to go hull-down. On my command we will fight them with everything we have. Artillery, flame tanks and... Redeemers. We have managed to construct 12 redeemers and have fit them with a more portable Ion cannon. To add to that we have also been able to swap the turrets of the remaining MARV's with a duel Obelisk. Prepare to move out general." With that Kane handed John a document.
"Yes Kane, it will be done." John left the tent. He read over the document. "Nightscar and Chrysalis will command the Nod forces from the MARV's. We have managed to refit the turret and added a duel Obelisk tower. We have also added the necessary communication towers and doubled the armor. ~Nod Technician O-Brian" As he moved towards Chrysalis's MCV he noticed a Nod soldier infront of the entrance.
"Halt in the name of Kane!" John began to stare daggers into the soldier.
"Don't you know who I am? I am General Nightscar!" The soldier began to laugh. The sound of the laughter began to morph.
"But I thought the name was John?" By now he knew it was Chrysalis.
"I see you have learned some new tricks." The soldier glowed black and morphed into Chrysalis.
"With all the power I have been getting It has allowed me to take the form of other species. At this rate I might be able to even take the form of a dragon!" She let out a quick laugh. John pulled out the document.
"Here take this and prepare." Chrysalis's horn glowed green and picked up the document. She opened it and skimmed through it. She nodded and moved towards her appointed MARV. John entered his MARV. He pulled out the microphone and activated the loudspeakers.
"Brothers! Prepare for the final assault! Soon we move out to prepare trenches and traps from the GDI scum! Peace through Power!" Changelings and humans alike raised their weapons or jumped in the air raising their hooves. John will finally end the GDI scourge...
Daniels pulled the firehawk to a full stop and hovered to the ground. He knew he had to deliver the news of Canterlots destruction. He stepped out of the firehawk, Rainbow Dash also departed the aircraft. He noticed that all the GDI soldiers were saluting. Oh right... I'm the second highest ranking officer... He saw Director Boyle move out of the crowd with a new uniform in his arms. It was a uniform fit for a general.
"Daniels, we are sad to see Parker leave us in this time of war. These men need a new leader. Welcome general Daniels." Boyle handed Daniels the uniform. Boyle gave off a quick salute and moved for his bunker. Daniels looked at the soldiers. They all had the look of determination. They had accepted Daniels as their leader.
"Well then. Soon we inflict the final blow! Soon we charge into that Nod base and make them pay! Pay for what they have done to Earth! Pay for what they have done to Parker!" The soldiers dropped their salutes and began to cheer.
"For Earth! For Parker! For GDI!" The soldeirs continued this cheer for a good five minutes. Daniels turned his head to Rainbow Dash and motioned her away from the crowd. They began to look for the Princesses and the remaining elements. After about 10 minutes of rounding them up he prepared to break the news. They all circled Daniels curious to what he had to say.
"Well as you know, some bombers were able to get past our defenses." Twilight raised a hoof.
"What is a "Bomber"? Is it some sort of machine they use?" Daniels turned to Twilight.
"A bomber is an aircraft which is designed to drop explosives or other manner of weapons from a high altitude." Twilight nervously nodded.
"Well... We were not fast enough to intercept all the bombers..." The ponies in the room gasped except Rainbow Dash. They turned to see why she had not been surprised. Then she spoke up.
"I was there. The "bomber" things dropped huge metal things the exploded killing almost everyone. And if that wasn't bad, another couple of them dropped containers of this green crystal all over the place!" Twilight shook her head.
"But why drop crystals? There already is some much in that huge cave underneath Canterlot!" Daniels eyes went wide. He began to piece everything together. They dropped Tiberium into Canterlot after breaching the caves! That means they want it to spread there.
"How large is the caves?" Twilight shrugged and grabbed a book.
"Ah, here. The cave is about 2 miles long and could fit all of Equestria's ponies down there!" Daniels came to the conclusion.
"If they're doing what I think they're doing we need to stop them NOW!" The Princesses stopped their grieving.
"What are they going to do?!" They both asked furiously. Daniels didn't want to add to the chaos they were dealing with but he knew he couldn't lie in front of the element of honesty.
"I believe they are going to signal the... The Scrin. I think they believe they are outmatched and will try to take everything with them." All the ponies in the room tilted their heads. Princess Celestia spoke again.
"What are the Scrin?" Daniels dropped his head.
"The Scrin are the ones who attacked earth. They were the ones who killed my squad mates that I told you about. They are bent on totally covering a world in Tiberium then consuming it. They are signaled when a large amount of Tiberium detonates. It is how Nod tricked them into our world before." The Princess began to regret asking.
"Hmmm, Twilight you are skilled with magic yes? Twilight nodded. "Are you able to cast an invisibility spell?" Twilight nodded again.
"I can but It has to be close to me." Daniels nodded.
"Then you will sit in the cockpit of my firehawk while I scout their base. I have to be sure they are going to do this. Lets hurry!" Twilight nodded and they both entered the firehawk.
"Ok, I will cast the spell... Now!" The bubble of matter extended around the ship. It worked.
"Good then we must no fall behind. Lets go." Daniels lifted off the ground and took off towards the base.
John was motioning the massive Ion cannon wielding tank outside the walls with his venom. The tank went to a complete stop and started to aim the weapon at the location of Canterlot.
"Good. How much longer until the weapon finally cools down?" The technician climbed down from the tank.
"It will be another four hours until it will be at max capacity." John nodded to himself inside the cockpit and flew off. As he flew towards the front lines he noticed the Ion cannon begin to brightly glow light blue. He smiled.
Daniels Could see the base now. It was huge. Last time he had seen it, it was only just grass. Now it was surrounded with huge walls and a huge chunk of the forest was gone. He squinted at what he saw next. It was an Ion cannon. It seemed to be supported on a massive tank-like vehicle. He had to destroy it.
"Cover your ears this is going to be loud!" Daniels switched on his Air to ground missiles and locked on the tank. He flipped up the safety for the firing mechanism and fired. Two missiles sailed towards the vehicle. To Daniels surprise they hit and did... Nothing. The armor was too think for even the extremely powerful anti-tank missiles of the firehawk. By now Nod forces had spotted the now visible firehawk.
"GDI aircraft!" Nod SAM sites activated firing large amounts of missiles.
"Not today Nod." Daniels quickly turned the firehawk and went to full throttle. Once again firing the "Darkboom" And to his surprise the shock wave destroyed the chasing missiles. Twilight was in awe being so close the phenomenon that Daniels could create. As they flew back he noticed a massive clearing just before the edge of the forest. He saw thousands of humans and changelings alike working together to build a wall of trenches, SAM sites and areas to let their scorpion tanks to go hull-down.
"Is- is that them?" Twilight said as she peered down toward the massive blockade of soldiers and machines alike. It wasn't the soldiers themselves that scared him. It was the sheer amount of redeemers he saw that struck fear into him. He shook it off and continued for the base. He needed the Princesses to open one last portal, but this time in space...
Daniels and Twilight stepped out of the firehawk and were meet by the Princesses.
"Daniels what did you find?" Princess Celestia hoped he didn't find what he was looking for.
"I found out they have an Ion cannon, that confirms my suspicion. They are in fact attempting to contact the Scrin invasion force. But we can stop it. Princesses do you thing you could open an entrance portal in Earth's orbit and an exit portal in this planets orbit?" Princess Celestia nodded.
"It can be done. Why would you ask such a thing? I suspect you have a plan." Daniels opened a holographic map on his firehawk.
"I need you to bring through our Orbital Ion Cannon. With it we can destroy their Ion cannon and stop them from blowing the Tiberium. You must hurry though!" The Princesses nodded and dematerialized back to Earth. Daniels quickly ran to the defensive line of GDI soldiers.
"Men! Today we fight back the Nod menace! Prepare to attack!" The soldiers gave a quick cheer and scrambled to prepare. Daniels began to make strategic formations. The remaining 50 juggernauts he had in a line formation with mammoth and predator tanks in front to block incoming fire. Orca's and firehawks prepped their weapons to quickly bomb run the Nod positions. Finally GDI's super weapons were here. Mammoth MK.II's had finished production. They only had 5 but it would have to do.
"You have 1 hour! Then we charge!" Once again the troops cheered and continued to prepare. Daniels waited in the command tent waiting for the Princesses return.
The True Land Of Nod. (C&C)
GDI Victory! (And Epilogue.)
Daniels waited for what felt like hours. Finally the Princesses materialized in front of him.
"You're back! Did you manage to get the Ion cannon into orbit?" The two Princesses nodded and Lune wiped some sweat of her forehead with a hoof.
"It was difficult but we managed it." Daniels smiled and turned to a control console. He brought up the targeting computer on the weapon. Damn, it had to be readjusted. He tapped the commands into the computer and left the tent.
"Men it is time! In two hours the Ion cannon will be ready to fire. We need to keep pressure on them. Prepare to move out!" He grabbed his rifle and put on his new combat uniform. Rainbow Dash cut him off at the door.
"I know this has to be done but... Just please don't die." Daniels scratched her ear.
"I can't promise that but I will try to stay alive. Keep your friends safe. I will be back soon." He walked around her and left the tent.
"Lets do this!" The men cheered and all the machines sparked to life. The juggernauts and tanks took their formation. The mammoth MK.II's got in front of the formation to spearhead the assault. Daniels himself crawled into a firehawk and was accompanied but two wing men.
"Move out!" Daniels called out over the intercom. The massive assault team began to move towards the forest. The ponies watched in awe as the mastodons crushed the trees and opened a path. Daniels pulled ahead in the firehawk and the other aircraft followed. Daniels opened the intercom again.
"Prepare to bomb these bastards!" Rainbow Dash could hear the entire thing. Daniels had forgotten to switch off Rainbow Dash's coms. She could hear everything that was going on crystal clear.
As Daniels neared the Nod blockade he began to check out his new gear. He had a brand new combat knife, a heavy duty kevlar vest and what seemed to be a helmet camera. He switched it on, maybe they will document these last moments of the battle he thought to himself. He lightly chuckled at the thought. By now they were about a minute away from the blockade.
"Switch to air to ground missiles and hit those redeemers! With them still active they will rip our forces to pieces!" Daniels received a "Copy that" from the pilots. He locked on to the nearest redeemer...
"Fire!" He launched his missiles. Hundreds of other missiles meet their targets. Daniels missiles impacted with the legs of the redeemer. The massive machine toppled and exploded. The rest of the orca's and firehawk's managed to take out 7 other redeemers. only 4 remained. Now it was Nod's turn. SAM sites opened fire. Multiple orca's and firehawks alike succeeded at dodging the missiles. Others weren't so lucky... Daniels watched as a good 20 or so GDI aircraft were hit and crashed. a few managed to crash into the trenches taking some Nod soldiers with them.
"Firehawks! Switch to the armor-piercing gatling gun! Orca's! Switch to your under mounted chain guns!" He once again received a "Copy that" and the fight continued. Some of the pilots cheered as the GDI forces began their ground attack.
"Juggernauts! Extend leg-flaps and fire on my mark! Target the SAM sites and remaining redeemers!" Daniels angled around and saw the flaps slam into the ground in unison.
"Mark!" All juggernauts opened fire. Hundreds of rounds blocked out the sunlight as they soared through the air. Some Nod venoms were unlucky and were hit by some of the rounds. The rounds closed in on the ground. Nod forces seemed to run and duck for cover in slow-motion. Finally as if still in slow-motion rounds began to impact with the ground. He saw bodies fly threw the air. 2 of the redeemers were completely consumed in the juggernaut salvo.
"Charge!" With that all tanks opened fire and drove as fast as they could towards the Nod blockade. As Daniels went in for a dive with his AP gatling he watched in awe as a mammoth barreled over a mound in the dirt and slammed into an avatars chest. The avatar had no chance of surviving the hundred ton tank. It simply was crushed under the treads. Daniels looked in the distance. He saw the strange bombs fly and begin to impact the ground around GDI forces. Soldiers caught in the blast just vanished in a heap of dust and bones.
"Juggernauts! Counter artillery! Take out their artillery damn it!" By now GDI and Nod were in total combat. Venoms and armageddons bombed and fired at the GDI forces. Firehawks and mammoth's fired their rockets at the enemy aircraft. GDI infantry jumped into the trenches, bayonets extended. It was all out warfare. Finally Daniels spotted what looked like command vehicles. The two converted MARV's charged in obliterating vehicles and men alike with its powerful obelisk weapons. Com towers covered the rear of the MARV's.
"Target the MARV's! They look like they are running the show!" With that 3 firehawks broke formation and attacked one of the MARV's. Even with their powerful AP rounds they couldn't punch through the strengthened armor of the MARV. Daniels cursed under his breath. But what he saw next put a smile on his face. The mammoth MK.II's caught up.
"Mammoth MK.II battle walkers! I want you to focus fire on those MARV's!" The mammoth MK.II's charged their weapons and opened fire. The MARV seemed to eat at the damage. Then... *BANG* The obelisk tower exploded and the entire MARV went up in flames. Daniels held in a cheer.
"Good work! Ready your weapons and destroy the final MARV!" As he prepared another dive with his gatling he noticed an officer like man jump out of the remaining MARV. He ran straight for an odd looking bush... No wait it was a camouflage net! The net lit up and flames and disintegrated. A massive custom built venom began to take off. His lock on warning began to sound. It was the venom.
"Breaking off!" Daniels yelled as he went full throttle. The venom didn't shoot just one missile, or two... It fired hundreds with the custom made rocket pods. The cone of air began to form around his firehawks nose.
"Try to hit this!" The sonicboom like noise rang out and multiple missiles that were in chase exploded. atleast 7 remained. Daniels quickly spun around and flew straight for them. At the last second he pulled up and dodged the missiles. He flew directly for the venom.
"Eat lead you Nod bastard!" Daniels fired his gatling at the venom. A few rounds connected with its rocket pods and damaged its left turbine. It quickly regained control but it was to late. Daniels dodged the venom and the rockets exploded. Daniels turned his head and his face filled with horror as the venom lost its left engine fully but managed to stay in the air and fire off a couple beams of its under mounted gun. 3 of the shots connected with his engine and he went into a glide. He looked for a soft spot in the clearing.
"I'm hit! I'm hit! I'm going down!!!" Rainbow Dash now had the Intercom attached to a speaker so the Princesses and her friends could hear. Her eyes filled with dread.
"No!" She screamed. She could hear Daniels hitting switches and buttons. She could also here a loud noise she could recognize as the sound the aircraft made as they crashed.
Daniels hit the ground hard. The firehawk began to slid across the ground smoothly at first but started to turn and tilt. It finally hit a bump and the whole thing spun and slammed into the ground in rapid succession. It came to a stop. He punched the hatch open. His face was bloody with cuts. He grabbed his rifle and looked over the horizon. He seemed to be on a hill overlooking the battlefield.
"Shit that hurt..." He mumbled. He heard a buzzing sound in the distance. He looked with horror as the venom spun and crashed 20 meters from him. It went up in flames. He was about to sit back in relief when he heard a crack. The venoms hatch flew open and a shadowy figure limped out.
"Didn't think you could kill me that easily, Did you?" He knew who that was. It was Nightscar. Daniels switched the safety off his gun and pulled it up. As he looked up Nightscar was standing in front of him. He smacked the gun out of his hands and delivered a hard kick to Daniels ribs. He flew backwards.
"Damn you're fast. But are you strong?" Daniels charged towards him with his knife out. He dodged a punch and sunk his blade into Nightscar's back. He let out a large grunt and punched his helmet. Daniels helmet went flying to the ground, but the camera seemed to manage to point at them. Nightscar then threw the dazed general to the ground. Nightscar picked up Daniels and held him by his vest's collar.
"Look at my face, because it will be your last." Nightscar took Daniels knife and planted it in his chest. Daniels grunted and began to feel weak. Daniels saw the revolver that hung off of Nightscar's belt and
"One last thing." Nightscar shook Daniels.
"What?" Daniels grabbed the revolver and cocked it and brought it up to Nightscar's jaw in one swift motion.
"Fuck. You." He pulled the trigger. He had literally blown his brains out. Nightscar's entire skull exploded from the powerful magnum round. Daniels fell the to ground. His intercom activated and a machine like voice began to talk to him.
"Orbital Ion Cannon is ready to fire. Input fail-safe code. Repeat after me. I am human. " Daniels knew he would be killed from the shockwave from the blast.
"I am human." The intercom beeped. He activated everyone's intercom.
"This is General Jacob Daniels signing off... Fire." The intercom beeped again.
" Fail-safe accepted. Firing Ion Cannon." Daniels brought the revolver to his head.
"Over and out." *BANG*
The ponies had heard the whole thing over the intercom. The Princesses bowed their heads. Fluttershy grabbed Twilight and begun to cry. Rainbow Dash just looked at the intercom. A loud *BAAAAAAMMMM* noise rung out then static.
"Daniels! Nooo...." She fell to the ground. It was over. But he died saving them from destruction. Her friends and the Princesses circled her and her vision went black.
***************************************Epilogue***************************************
A year later. -The Aftermath-
GDI forces eliminated or captured the remaining Nod forces. The changelings without their leader crumbled into chaos. GDI soldiers searched the Nod compound and found out that Kane had vanished without a trace. The Nod Ion cannon tank had been destroyed and had failed to destroy the Tiberium in return would have signaled a Scrin invasion. Earth had crumbled. Humanity slowly died out from the Tiberium's radiation. The Scrin had finally returned when the planet was completely covered. The Princess had allowed remaining GDI forces to live in Equestria and granted them a massive piece of land to build a city. GDI had managed to clear out the Tiberium and had figured out a way to safely mine it without it spreading. Equestria was effectively Tiberium free except in the special facility's GDI constructed to safely contain it. The day GDI defeated Nod was turned into a holiday called. "Liberation Day".
Everyone and Everypony gathered around at a large statue unveiling. Rainbow Dash had arrived with a tear in her eye. The Princesses stood on their podiums.
"Today is a day we remember the great heroes that defended out land. The ones who stopped the evil brotherhood from killing us all. Now I shall unveil the statue that represents this day. Liberation Day!" 4 Guards proceeded to remove the large white sheet. There stood a golden statue. It had a ring of soldiers with their guns to their sides that circled a podium. On the podium stood two men in general-like uniforms. One was Parker. He stood with the GDI flag in his hand. And the last man that Rainbow Dash easily recognized.
"Daniels..." She said and sucked back a tear. Daniels stood their with right foot on a cracked symbol on Nod. He held a helmet to his side. She read the plaque that was attached to the great statue.
This statue stands in the memory of Ryan Parker and Jacob Daniels as well as the many fallen soldiers that fought for our freedom. Victory can only be found through sacrifice.
Princess Celestia walked down from her podium and moved towards Rainbow Dash. Using her magic she held out a helmet.
"We found this close to the body of Daniels. It seems to have a video camera as the humans told me. I think if anyone should, you should watch his last moments." Rainbow Dash took the helmet with her wing nodded. She couldn't bare to watch the death of Daniels. She flew up to the statue and placed the helmet on top of Daniels head. She landed and looked at it. Finally in a year she had felt happy again.
The True Land Of Nod. (C&C)
Nod Victory! (And Epilogue.)
John was ready. The MARV was nearing the blockade by now. He brought up communications.
"Brothers is there any sight of GDI forces?" He was met by a calm voice.
"No sir, no GDI forces spotted. We will keep you updated until you arrive." John nodded to himself.
"Good, and make sure my Super-Venom is ready." Everything was going to plan. Soon the Scrin will take this world. If Nod can't have their glorious ascension then no one can. He activated a small UAV drone and sent it ahead. The drone was just over the blockade.
"The blockade is looking good." He mumbled to himself. The drone flew farther ahead. He could see some fast moving objects coming closer to him. They were firehawks. He quickly put down the drone controls and once again activated the coms.
"Commander! Activate the SAM sites! Firehawks are inbound your position!" He could hear the commander hit some switches and John grabbed the drone again. He could see the SAM sites lifting up from their offline positions. This time Nod will be ready.
"I estimate you have 30 seconds until they enter target range, get all forces to cover!" He could hear the commander now barking orders to the soldiers. He activated the UAV drones hidden beam weapon.
"Take this!" He fired off precision shots and managed to destroy an Orca and damage a firehawk. Sadly the firehawk that took damage opened fire destroying the drone.
"Brace for bombing runs commander!" He heard the commander barking "Brace for impact" repeatedly.
"Now commander! Launch the SAM sites salvo's!" The commander gave the command to launch. John could see the missiles rise from the treeline and spiral towards the GDI air power. Many missiles connected destroying a large portion. One firehawk was more noticeable than the others. It flew with perfect precision and accuracy. It dodged the missiles with ease. It must have been the GDI general.
"Ready my venom! I have a general to kill!" By now the commander was silent. As john was in sight range of the blockade he saw the commanders bunker blown to pieces and 3 redeemers had been destroyed.
"Bring the obelisk towers online!" The tank commander gave a quick nod and tapped some commands into the console. John heard a distinct. *WWWAAAAAAAA* -pause- *BAAAAANNNNGGG* The obelisks began to inaccurately fired into the sky. Finally in the distance he saw some things break through the forest edge. Tanks and juggernauts lined the edge. John screamed into the coms.
"Focus fire on those juggernauts!" Redeemers charged their weapons. Too late. Juggernauts fired a wall of high explosive rounds into the air. The redeemers fired their lasers into the juggernauts destroying a few and disabling many more. The juggernaut rounds hit their targets. 2 more redeemers fell underneath the juggernauts salvo.
"Launch all armageddon's and venom's! Destroy those juggernauts damn it!" John watched as venoms took off and armageddons sped towards the GDI line. In unison the GDI armor charged. They slammed into Nod positions with no fucks given about their health. It was a full on charge.
"Obelisks! Target their armor!" John yelled. As he looked over to the other command MARV he saw it get shot by ion weapons. The MARV continued to be hit with these weapons until the obelisk tower detonated. The entire MARV was set ablaze.
"Fuck! Queen Chrysalis is down! Keep fighting!" John ran for the door of the MARV and jumped out. He ran for his venom. He took out a light and lit the camo net. The net set ablaze and evaporated into thin air. He ripped the hatch open and jumped in. He could see a firehawk swoop down and destroy a redeemer. That has to be the general. He thought to himself. The venom took off.
"Try to dodge this!" He yelled. He tapped in the commands to launch all missiles.
"Missiles launched." The machine like voice said as John felt the venom buckle from the multiple missile launches. The missiles soared for the firehawk. At the last second the firehawk doubled his speed causing a strange dark shockwave.
"Thats definitely him." He said as he brought the beam laser online. The firehawk dodge the missiles and flew straight for him. He tried to dodge but it was too late. The firehawk avoided the venom and the missiles impacted with the left turbine.
"Fuck! Stay still you GDI bastard!" He yelled as he aimed the beam cannon. He fired off 5 shots. 3 Shots connected with the firehawks engine. It began to glide to the ground. He managed to regain some control of the venom and attempted to crash close to the firehawk. The firehawk came down hard but the man inside managed to crawl out. John's venom crashed into the ground hard. It ignited into flames. He punched the hatch off the venom and pulled himself out.
"Didn't think you could kill me that easily... Did you?" He said. The general began to aim the rifle. John was too quick. He ran up to the general and smacked the rifle out of his hands. He proceeded to slam his foot into his ribs sending him to the ground. The general pulled out his combat knife and charged. John dodge the knife and grabbed the generals collar. He punched him in the head sending his helmet flying. He threw the general to the ground and drew his revolver.
"You have failed general! Watch as we signal the Scrin! haha!" John pulled out his ear piece.
"Fire the ion cannon!" He turned his head enough to see the blue laser connect with the capitol exploding into a massive ball of fire. John looked again at the crippled general. He walked up to him and placed the revolver to his head.
"Look at my face because it is the last thing you will see." He said and pulled the trigger killing the general instantly. He limped back to the blockade and hopped into a raider buggy and sped back to the base.
John arrived at the Nod base. It was a ghost town. Every living soul except a few men guarding Kane's MCV remained. Kane stepped out to meet John.
"General good work. My sensors indicate Scrin battle fleets are on the way. I have figured out how to change the portal to take us somewhere much better than here. Come we must leave." John nodded and began to pack up. As the moved towards the portal John looked up to the sky. He could see Scrin warships entering the atmosphere. The two began to laugh as they entered the portal.
***************************************Epilogue***************************************
The GDI were victorious with the battle at the Nod blockade but took many casualties. As they looked to the sky they watched as Scrin forces began to land and dumped Tiberium everywhere. GDI were no match for the Scrin invasion and were eliminated quickly. Equestria's nations fell to anarchy as the Scrin wiped out their leaders with ease. Earth crumbled and was once again visited by the Scrin and consumed. John and Kane with a few other brothers descended to their new ascension. They finally had found peace with themselves.
"Ah, this new place shows great promise. It has no dominant species yet. What do you think Kane?" John was enjoying some fruit he managed to find. Kane had just finished setting up their one and only MCV.
"I think it is glorious. It shall serve the remnants of Nod well. Humanity shall live on in the image of Nod. Peace has finally been found through power." They continued to rebuild and cut their loses.
As years went on they managed to rebuild a large portion of the brotherhood. Humanity reveled in a new age of peace. Kane continued to live life. Sadly John's age caught up to him. His last words were "Life well spent" and he finally passed away at the age of 76.
