Wars Legacy

In advance this chapter is still a prototype so there will be bits added and deleted later sorry for the wait i am doing an HND in digital art and design and working at Tesco so its really hard to update please enjoy and don't worry i have a pre reader who is working on chapter 2 and 3 as we speak

I awoke with a dismissive moan as I felt something on top of me. Looking around groggily I grunted in annoyance when it turned out to be the annoying pink pony with the bubbly personality, Pinkie pie. Yawning I rubbed my eyes clumsily as pinkie continued her cruel assault , moaning in protest I stretched my arms above my head hear the satisfying crack I looked down at the giddy looking pony.

“What do you want” I mumbled as I placed one of the soft pillows over my head in a vain attempt to get back to sleep.

“Twilight said to come and get you for breakfast silly” She giggled sweetly ignoring my groans of protest as I tried in vain to swat her away.

“Go away you nuisance” I growled stifling a yawn as she looked at me with a wide grin. Crouching down she wiggled her flank a few times before leaping into the air, defying gravity to an extent before slamming into my stomach.

I yelped in pain my hands reaching to strangle her cursing as she skipped out of my reach laughing like it was a game.

“Sorry but you have to get up first” She sang laughing at my murderous glare bouncing around the room. Sighing in defeat I slowly rose to my feet muttering as Pinkie skipped out my room her smile never leaving her face. Stumbling around as I tried to get my trousers on, I swore repeatedly at one point threatening the trouser’s children. The lack of coffee in my system resulted in me shuffling around half dead moaning as my eyes stung from the sun light beaming thought the window.

Managing to crack my head of the side of the door, didn’t improve my mood as I left the room forgetting to put a T-shirt on as my mind focused on getting food. I realised that since coming here I had eaten twice.  Muttering I saw that the others were already eating breakfast. Smiling i walked over my eyebrows furrowing as they stop eating their eyes fixating on me. Luna even seemed to be drooling. Cautiously I walked over to the table sitting beside fluttershy as they continued to gaze me, putting me on edge.

“Is there something on me” I asked looking down at myself. I laughed when I realised that I wasn’t wearing a shirt. Fluttershy was trying to discreetly look at the scars that coated my body gasping at particular nasty ones.

I took a piece of toast glowering at the spread, I was rather sick of there being no meat.  Hell I would off settled for the cheap crappy MRE’s just to get some meat.  Sighing i made a mental note to sneak out later and do a little hunting. Granted I had to make sure they didn’t find out especially the yellow one.

“Richard how art thou this glorious morning” Luna said cheerfully her bright blue eyes meeting mine she froze for a second before she turning away a light blush present. I was surprised that chrysalis joined us for breakfast. She strutted in her arrogant demeanour reminding me of peacocks. I felt the room tense as she seated herself directly opposite of me her eyes travelling up and down my body making me feel uncomfortable as her unblinking eyes evaluated my body.

“Richard” She purred. Over at the top of the table Luna was seething. Ignoring them I went back to my toast. I watched as Chrysalis munched on an assortment of greens. I guessed she was as hungry as I was.

“Chrysalis I thought your kind feed on emotions” I questioned cringing as I realised I was been rude. Seemingly unaffected chrysalis paused looking up at me

“We do but that is only because it is the fastest way of gaining nutrients we can survive on the same diet as ponies, but due to my home being in a barren wasteland solid foods are a rarity” She finished unintentionally drawing the interest of the smaller ponies. Breakfast for the most part was pretty bland the meal mostly consisted of vegetation eggs and toast.  Deciding that i would eat later I sat back and enjoyed the atmosphere. Rainbow dash and apple jack fighting over a ripe tomato as twilight chatted idly with he two princess. Pinkie pie was excitedly rambling about a party or something with an only mildly interested rarity. Luna’s eyes kept darting over to me then averting them as soon as we made eye contact.

Chrysalis smirked as I yawned, fidgeting my fingers flexing as I tried to think of a way occupy myself.  Deciding that now was a good at time as ever to get a decent breakfast I excused myself returning to my room to get my knife. I decided against wearing a T-shirt due to the fact that it is white and blood is a bitch to get out.

The castle had a lush garden and a small forest, but unlike everfree this one was warm and inviting the trees spread evenly allowing light to illuminate the paths. Now the hunt began I grinned wickedly as I ventured forth in pursuit of a proper meal

Several hours in and I was getting closer to the boar which  surprisingly had been very hard to track e leaving few trails as I followed very faded hoof prints.

I smiled smelling victory as the accursed swine came into view its massive back turned to me as it feasted on the local vegetation oblivious to the thing that would end its life. I slowly slipped my knife out positioning the knife so I had my knife in the reverse knife grip. This allowed for swift and powerful stabs. I quietly stalked the creature my feet making no noise as I silently approached. When I was close enough I lunged. The boar turned squealing in surprise and fear as I crashed into its side knocking the large beast over. I swiftly and brutally slit the boar’s throat causing it to gurgle as its legs spasmed erratically as life was quickly evicted from the beast. The daunting task of skinning and bleeding the boar which was hampered by my hunger left me mumbling in frustration as the massive pig proved to be a challenge to move.

In the end the satisfying smell of the boar over a roaring fire had made it worth my while. I listened to the quite sounds of the flames crackling and snapping as it cooked the pig inside and out. My meal was soon a golden brown as I greedily cut off large chunks of its flesh my mouth watering at the tender juicy meat in front of me. After a week of vegetables and months of MRE’s before hand the taste of proper meat send my taste buds into over drive the sweet succulent taste left me grinning like an idiot.

After I had eaten my fill I delicately carved up pieces up the boar storing the edible meat for later whilst discarding the crap I didn’t want.

I had decided to explore the vast city of canterlot; I had to laugh at the city names as many were similar to the ones in my world but had horse pony related words thrown in.

To my discontentment I found that this crowd were majorly upper class snobs. I heard whispers and a few gasps as I marched forward ignoring the flabbergasted ponies as I searched for a train station or heaven forbid a taxi. A few of the upper class ponies even had the balls to sniff at me in disgust a quick glare or growl usually made them turn away quickly enough . Inside my emotions were waging war. Princess Celestia had made a statement about my existence yesterday and had assured them that I wasn’t a threat; this allowed me to roam the city without fear of confrontation.

Whilst I was grateful it pissed me off to no end that these snobs dared to look down there nose at me, considering that I could break every spinal column in their body with one accurate punch. I had to admit that being the only human here was, well lonely. I thought of my friends and my squad fate my dreams were plagued with their fearful faces. My mood was quickly worsening as the posh cunts continued to treat me like a rabid dog.

Lost In my inner conflict and ranting, I sadly failed to notice the hoof until it was too late. Yelping I was thrown back onto the hard ground as a group of thugs quickly surrounded me, holding crude knifes and maces. They were probably hoping that I would be an easy target to rob or worth selling as an exotic pet.

I was already furious before now these fuckers, had foolishly kicked the hornets’ nest. Smiling maliciously I drew my serrated knife my harsh dead eyes sizing the runts up as I lowered my body slightly gaining a more solid stance.

The leader was the first to move he charged forward clumsily swing his mace as he tried to crack my head in two. Pivoting I swung my foot around connecting with the leaders muzzle resulting in a satisfying smack as he was sent flying into his comrades who barely avoided him. A pair of burly unicorns threw random objects at me as I was mobbed from all sides Pegasi attacking me from above whilst the earth ponies used sheer brute strength.

The fight was nasty as the bandits used every cheap and dirty trick in the book. I was more than able to handle the earth ponies throwing them aside or downing them with solid aggressive hooks and jabs. I was slowly winning the fight as one after another was beaten into submission or unconsciousness. I smirked as I wiped away blood from my heavily bruised jaw curtsy of the leader.

The remainder of the fight if it could be called that was more one sided than a gang rape. I snarled lightly kicking the last pony in the stomach causing him to whimper in pain as he curled up tighter covering his head with his hooves.  I felt the stress and tension in my muscles ease now that I had vented my anger out on something.

I stopped in complete shock the posh ponies had stopped and were now cheering and clapping there hooves politely, typical posh gits I smiled. I scratched my head humbly before leaving the criminals to the guards who gave a quick grunt of thanks. I was surprised that once again the ponies had proven me wrong and that they really were a lot more understanding and accepting than humans could ever hope to be.

I stumbled as I banged into someone sending us both to the floor as the unknown object groaned in annoyance. Looking down I nearly died of laughter as I was confronted by eleven pegasi, eleven pegasi in spandex.

“Hey watch where you-“The female pegasi looked up at my colossal frame her words dying on her tongue as she saw the size of me. The Pegasus was covered in a dark blue spandex suit that had holes for her wings and tail, a pair of goggles and yellow lightning bolt that ran form her chest to her stomach. The leader had a soft yellow colour her hair was spiked and was a flaming yellow and orange.  Smiling I crouched down thinking they were dressed up for a party

“And what are you guys meant to be” I cooed admittedly I was mocking them.   The leader glared at

“For your information creature we are the wonderbolts celestia’s personnel air show ponies and fastest fliers in Equestria. She finished puffing her chest out in pride.

"Really I thought rainbow dash was the fastest pony she did break the sound barrier have you” I asked watching with a cruel satisfaction as their faces dropped.

“yes we have but doing it is incredibly hard and ” She said glaring at me for being a smart ass .

“Hey chill I’m just messing with you where I’m from we have air shows too” I finished watching with amusement as their ears perked up.

“Really well I for one am interested to know about your flyers by the way the names Spitfire leader of the wonderbolts.  She said sassily giving me a wink as she motioned for me to follow her.

I had quickly got to know these wonderbolts and to my shock found that they were pretty cool. I told them about planes and how humans used them. They were fascinated by the concept of a vehicle that could be flown by one pony.

“So what is the fastest pla-ne” Soarin mumbled gorging on a piping hot apple pie as we sat in a private area of a high class cafe.

“To my knowledge the fastest plane that can be manned is the Falcon HY6, its top speed is 20 times faster than the speed of sound, travelling at about 15,000 miles per hour” I finished watching the look of shock and amazement on their face as they all started firing off random questions. I answered them to the best of my ability chuckling at their enthusiasm. It turned out that the wonder bolts were pretty cool and we spent what felt like hours chatting idly. After that we went our separate ways not before they gave me a couple of tickets to their next show.

“See you later” Spitfire giggled winking at me before sauntering off making sure to swing her hips in as suggestive a manner as possible leaving me standing in the middle of a street blushing like a fool.

Later

To say that skittles was amazed was an understatement Rainbow dash shot back in forth her hair whipping about like crazy as her body shook with exhilaration.

“Ohmygosh Ohmygosh Ohmygosh” she giggled excitedly, her face glowing as she held the wonderbolt ticket excitedly to her chest. Still couldn’t figure out how the fuck they held stuff but hey.

“So you like it then” I asked innocently yelping as she crashed into me her grip threatening to snap my spine as her hooves mercilessly constricted  me, my face going a light shade of blue as oxygen was cut off. Realising the position we were in we hastily broke apart coughing awkwardly as we avoid each other’s eyes.

“Anyway I’m glad you like it skittles” I said using the nickname that i had recently taken to calling her.

“Thanks a bunch this means a lot and don’t call me Skittles,” she said growling playfully as she punched my shoulder. I again found myself engaging these ponies in friendly banter and even playful arguments. My moods had greatly improved as well I was no longer so bitter towards everything and my patience for/ the pink one had greatly improved.

I meet up with chrysalis later on that day she was very reclusive and preferred to keep to her quarters. She avoided the other ponies and when she had to go out she took on the disguise of a light grey unicorn with green hair. I found myself talking to chrysalis more over the course of the day from brief random meetings to lengthy discussions in the royal dining room. I had taken great delight in showing the group my holopad a device that showed 3d images of maps, videos and city layouts. It was a standard piece of equipment that had everything a soldier could ask for.

Their reactions had varied from fascination to suspicion. Twilight had wanted to study it to see if ponies could reverse engineer it. I had swiftly crushed that idea when I stated that her race was not advanced enough to handle that kind of power or responsibility, Christ humans were barely able to handle their tech half the time.

I had decided to chill outside and soak up the heat of the day. I rested my head against the trunk of an old worn tree as the sun warmed my legs. Sighing in pleasure I stretched my body out into a comfier position. I jumped as my holopad started up blaring out an alarm as I fumbled into my pockets trying to retrieve the elusive device. Clicking the power button the screen flashed before a face appeared.

“This is private Davidson I am in unfamiliar territory with unidentified hostiles, please if anyone is out there please respond” The young man’s face was cut and covered in filth his face was filled with fear and i noticed that he was breathing heavily like he had been running. My finger slammed into the open com option and my face appeared on the link

“ Private Davidson, this is corporal Albern I am 18 clicks south from your location find shelter and bunker down help will be there keep your com on and keep the broadcasting signal going if possible” I ordered hopping to quell any fears that the younger man had.

“I understand sir please hurry this forest, its evil” he mumbled, hissing the last part.

Cutting communication I stormed off to the royal court room to alert the rulers and hopefully see about my mech getting transported.

Too say that the Princess were confused at my sudden appearance would be an understatement. Storming into the royal throne room with a look of deadly seriousness was enough to catch their full attention.

After briefly explaining the situation, I was stopped mid sentence by a gasp of horror the princess faces seemed to literally drain of colour as they digested  the information, princess Luna muttered incoherently  under her breathe as the two looked at me in unrestraint horror.

“That forest that that human was in is called Misser, It is a forest filled with some of the most vile evil creatures that have ever roamed Equestria” she finished her body shaking as if the mere mention of the forest scared her.

“Princess, please I need to retrieve him he is too important to leave and he is one of my men” I stated near begging as panic filed me at the prospect of her refusing.

“If I could get my mech I could go alone but I need it now” I added in the hope of persuading her. Celestia looked uneasy with my proposition but in the end nodded in agreement. Celestia had some of her finest unicorn’s teleport to ponyville with instructions to teleport my mech to the canterlot gardens.

Too say that twilight and the gang were upset was an understatement twenty minutes of nonstop berating with no signs of stopping. Luna and Chrysalis hadn’t helped the situation and were even adding in their own titbits of criticism. Sighing I foolishly mumbled

“Women” this had consequently resulted in a fresh wave of shouting and lecturing.

I smiled as my mech came into view, the veteran machine displaying its war scars proudly as its dull green coat gleamed in the sun. Smiling I climbed into the hatch storing my gear behind me as I lowered my body into the steel chair. The two alicorns and the changeling queen were amazed by the size and alien design of the machine.

As the mech started up I was surprised to see Luna and chrysalis, their faces deadly serious as they marched towards me.

“What’s up” I asked failing to notice Celestia’s mouth twitch briefly as the two stopped in front of me.

“We wish to join you on your quest Richard” Luna spoke up her eyes burning with passion as she stood ready for my verdict. I smiled as Chrysalis rolled her eyes at Luna’s theatrical announcement.

“Really you two want to come along to help” I asked in surprise.

“You saved me from those beasts, I help you then we’re even” Chrysalis drawled her board tone agitating Luna as she sent Chrysalis a withering glare.

Chrysalis Pov

I watched with disgust as the idiotic cyan Pegasus swooned around Richard exited over a foolish ticket. I froze what did I care who Richard associated with. Shaking my head I banished the foolish thought glowering I retreated to my desk my plans being made much simpler by the sickly sweet princess. The love of a single pony could feed hundreds of changelings for weeks so if I could over thought canterlot and harvest all the love, there would be enough food to feed my loyal subjects for year’s maybe even decades.

The council had been hesitant of my plan many still foolishly considering me nothing more than a filly. Well I would show them that I was worthy of the crown and prove to my mother finally that I not my younger sisters am the rightful Queen of the changelings. Smiling maliciously I went over the key points in the plan looking for any flaws or weakness that could decide if I succeeded or not. Unconsciously my mind wandered back to Richard something about the strange creature intrigued me his attitude, weapons and muscular form all fascinated me. I froze once again had I just thought that was all that coursed though my body as I stood rigid. Violently shaking my head I once again dismissed it to my time imprisoned in that filthy dungeon.

Hours passed and I felt frustration getting to me as my mind fired blanks my plan was no further forward than it was mere hours ago. Sighing I rested my head on the table grumbling as I thought of something to entertain me. Suddenly an Idea struck me I could converse with Richard the human could maybe help me with my plan.

Later

Anger no rage was what I felt after that dim-witted moron made the sweeping statement that he was going into that dreaded evil forest.

“HOW COULD HE BE SO FOOLISH” I roared scattering several maids as my disguised form stormed thought the halls my thoughts only focused on finding him and beating some sense into him. Pausing I started contemplating why I was so angry if the moron got killed then, why was I so upset at the prospect of him dying?  Shuddering slightly at the morbid thought I quelled my emotions regaining my heartless facade.

I had the displeasure of running into the bratty blue alicorn our eyes narrowing as we sized each other up quite funny considering I was about two heads taller than her. Ignoring her I walked to the Canterlot gardens knowing that the human would be there. What I witnessed made me freeze the brat followed my example her body tensing up as we looked at the monster in front of us. Alien, alien was the only word that sprung to mind to describe the metal creature in front of us. Dwarfing me and even the sun princess the creature was a sickly mash of greens and browns. Its armour bore several vicious scars some parts had nasty dents but this just added to the intimidation factor of the creature. Like the human it had five digit appendages.

Richard to my amazement climbed up and into the creature a metal door opening allowing him inside. Luna banged into me roughly giving me a sneer as she went to acknowledge Richard. Growling I slapped her flank with my tail sharply as she passed causing her to yelp glowering at me as I snickered.

Richards Pov

Goodbyes were brief and then we left for the dreaded forest. Luna and chrysalis flew beside me keeping up with me easily as we made our way quickly towards our destination. Chrysalis remained silent though out the journey ignoring both me and Luna as we occasionally engaged in small talk. Luna was fascinated with my world, the fact that our sun and moon moved independently amazed her as well as the fact that earth had no magic. Even chrysalis showed an interest in my world but said otherwise. We reached the forest after a thirty minute journey and it lived up to the reputation. Everything from the tress to simple shrub life emitted an aura of wickedness. Unlike the everfree forest which was just strange and slightly demonic this forest was the very definition of the word evil. The tress was warped and twisted black abominations the leaves black and grey seemingly rotting away.

The inside of the forest was pitch black unnerving us as images of what forgotten horrors lurked in the cover of the darkness. Nearly all the plants were armed with thorns or were a sickly bright colour indicating that they were probably poisonous. Luna shifted uncomfortably next to me as we started at the nightmare full forest.  Even Chrysalis was unnerved her eyes darting back and forth as if scanning for a potential threat. Deciding to help them relax I spoke up,

“Come on girls you have nothing to fear this mech has enough fire power to evaporate this entire forest” I lied knowing all too well that this forest was probably several miles long and wide. Deciding to take the leap I stepped over the barrier that separated the green meadow from the forest. I felt an unnatural cold breeze slither up my spine, as if my body knew that this place was evil.

The forest despite being pitch black was no match for the power of human technology, the HUV lights cut thought the darkness with ease illuminating our path as my mech tried to locate the signal which was proving to be a challenge for some unknown reason. So we had only encountered a few of warped black timber wolfs with glowing red eyes. These creatures despite their menacing appearance were easily dispatched via crushing them or slamming them into one of the ancient deformed trees.

Luna had been uncomfortable with the concept of killing but giving her history it was easier for her than it would be for any other pony. Chrysalis wasn’t nearly as bothered but still cringed if the death was particularly violent like a timber wolf having its skull crushed.  I found it easy the mech’s power being more than a match for the frail wooden wolfs. What unnerved me was that we had encountered noting serious yet. Given my track record it was unlikely that we were just luckily avoiding all the big game. As we progressed I felt an increasing sense of unease as if we were being watched, yet the scanners remained blank.

“AAHHH” Luna’s voice caused me to jump a meter in the air as I whirled round to see what was wrong. Looking I notice that she was covered in some kind of transparent slime. Her head was covered her fur sticky and dishevelled. Freezing I notice a continues trail of slime pouring down from above looking up I feel my heart leap into my mouth

“Wyverns” I heard Luna whisper the creatures screeched there ravenous eyes focusing on the two girls as they started to circle. Growling I started up the rail the weapon humming gently as the mech quickly ran though the checks before bringing the weapon online. The first Wyvern screeched lunging for Chrysalis as the rail gun started up. The sheer power of the bullets killed the creature instantly, realising a loud whimper as it fell to the ground its body having been torn apart. What happened next could only be described as chaos as the monsters descended there claws and deadly dagger filled jaws tearing into us as we tried to repel them.

The mech’s weapons reaped havoc tearing off limbs and cutting them to ribbons as Luna and chrysalis used their powerful magic to throw boulders and other deadly items at the Wyverns as they skilfully ducked and weaved looking for an opening in our defence. I nearly tripped as one of the bigger creatures slammed into me its wing flailing about as its claws raked up and down my armor leaving small gorges as it tried to dislodge itself. Grunting in frustration I slammed my left arm down on the creatures causing it to go limp as the mech powered arm smashed the Wyvern neck into a fine paste.

Sweat was trickling down my fore head as my body tired from the fighting the girls were in no better shape panting as their magic was stretched to the maximum like me the Wyverns were extremely magic resident so it made their job all that much harder.

“We can’t keep this up” I yelled as another Wyvern fell dead at my feet.

“No hay” Chrysalis shouted sardonically her right eye bleeding from a nasty scratch. Luna’s magic was still holding strong as she defeated enemy after enemy her eyes narrowed dangerously as she dared the next one to make a move. I needed to end this and end it fast the particle cannon would have a limited amount of shots due to the lighting being poor the weapon drained power from the mech’s battery.  The mech’s battery charged via sunlight or though the slow progress of removing the 120 kg battery and replacing it whilst the other was charged. With a mighty boom the weapon fired blasting thought the Wyverns like wet pieces of paper. The surviving Wyverns screeched in fear as they retreated back into the cover of darkness.

Panting Luna collapsed next to the mech her body heaving as she tried to regain her breath. Taking pity on her I tenderly picket her up placing her on my shoulder as she smiled in thanks. Chrysalis glared at me and I soon found myself carrying two tired mares almost comically as they slowly recovered from the brutal fight. We rested briefly in a small clearing the Mech’s light providing us with ample light as we ate a quick meal. We were all on high alert the wyverns had made us incredibly cautious fearing something worse we decided to not stop for too long.

The journey progressed relatively quite we spotted a couple of manticore’s here and there but they kept their distance. Luna and I chatted idly as we continued to track the missing soldier. Chrysalis and I rarely spoke, never saying more than a few words to each other. So far the girls had traded no words with each other the most being a glare or sneer at the other as they went out there way to avoid each other. The signal grew stronger with each passing minute the indicator telling me that the beacon was less than two clicks away from me.

I was unable to get back in contact with the private Davidson which filled me with a small sense of dread at the likely possibility that he was dead. Even if he was I could still scavenge the tech there and hopefully get myself set up with useful items. If we came across a jeep or even an aerial vehicle I could have the girl’s teleport it to the edge of the forest then take it back to the castle.

I looked down at my holopad the device telling me that the beacon was less than a hundred feet away. I forced my way though a thick chunk of shrubbery aside and felt my body froze.

The campsite or what was left of it was coated in fresh blood the bodies of men were scattered some having been torn apart bullet shells littered the ground as the weapons lay at their respective owners sides. Some of the men were hardly recognisable but sadly the ones that were confirmed that this was my team from the plane. The aircraft in name was still mostly intact one of the wings was torn badly and two of the engines were severely damaged. The cone had snapped of and was lying ten feet away from it, but all in all it was amazing that it had survived the impact still mostly intact.

I stood there in silence for a minute to commemorate the dead. Luna had turned a sickly green and was looking at me in pity. Chrysalis face remained neutral her facial and body features giving nothing away but her eyes told another story. Sighing in sadness I went about gathering up the dead and laying them out in rows whilst the guns were put into the large plane.

The girls helped with moving items like ammo and weapons though more than once I had to pry a loaded gun away before it could discharge its loud into the curious pair. The girls had been fascinated by the plane asking trivial questions as they inspected every inch of it. Once they were satisfied and the endless dull questions had finally ended our work progressed faster than i had expected.

I had discovered to my delight that there were battery chargers as well as spare parts and special tools for the mech these items and this vehicle were too important to lose or leave. I had proposed my plan to Luna who had been hesitant at first but had promptly agreed on the promise that I would let her play with the non dangerous or precious items. Chrysalis had shown a disturbing interest in the weapons and how they were used. I felt a twinge of sadness as I found the torn body of Private Davidson the young man’s face frozen in fear. I tenderly removed his dog tag making a note to make sure that these men were remembered for their bravery.

The ship was designed to act as a make ship base if it crashed or was downed by enemy fire. It had enough ammunition and rations to feed a small team for a few weeks. After I was sure that everything was loaded and I had sealed to hatch preventing anything from getting in, I instructed Luna and Chrysalis where I wanted the ship to be sent.  In the everfree forest there was a large flat survive about two hundred feet away from the entrance. The location was relatively quiet and lacked the more dangerous predators that lurked in the darker parts of the forest.

I could set up a few defence turrets to prevent another kidnapping. Luna and Chrysalis horns glowed causing a beautiful mix of different shades of blue and green as they pushed all their magic into teleporting the plane. With an audible crack the plane vanished with a blinding white flash. The pony and changeling collapsed on the ground panting as their energy depleted bodies desperately tried to regain a fraction of their lost strength. Smirking at their sweat coated faces I set about dealing with the bodies. Burying them would take too much time and lacking the proper equipment I decided to just cremate the bodies.

Later

The fire illuminated the pitch black forest showing the bodies of trees, plants and animals as the fire slowly ate the dead flesh of the men there dog tags held firmly in my hands as I sighed at the small relief that John was not among them. This of course was a bitter sweet relief for these men and Davidson had died.

Luna snoozed quietly beside me her body cuddled up to me as Chrysalis sat there glowering evilly at the sleeping alicorn. Unconsciously I allowed one of my hands to gently stroke her mane enjoying feeling of the silk like hair between my fingers. Chrysalis hissy fit at me patting Luna showed that despite their higher maturity than most ponies they still had very childish qualities. They had a lot in common with humans but seemed to lack the drive to gain, conquer and kill that sadly dictated much of my world today.

Humans despite their far greater technology and strength could learn something from these peaceful ponies. My thoughts were cut off by a black blur darting past my head screaming in pain as it disappeared into a clump of thick bushes, several feet away freezing in shock I nearly missed Chrysalis yell. Acting on instinct I shoved Luna aside whilst leaping to the side as a gigantic serpent head smashed into the spot where we had just been. Not taking any chances I leapt into the mech slamming my hand down on the power button.

Looking up I swore sadistically as I was confronted by a monster that was famous in my worlds. The creature had two heads at the front one being a lion the other being strangely enough a dragon. Where the tail should have been, was replaced with the head and body of a massive enraged snake. Its gleaming white fangs coated in venom, the creature before us was A Chimera. Luna yelped in shock as she was roughly awoken before turning white as she saw the creature in front of us.

Chrysalis started charging up a powerful offensive spell as Luna levitated several of the scattered boulders and small dead trees. Not waiting for theatrics I opened fire on the beast the bullets puncturing the beast’s body drawing blood that was surprisingly blue.  This only seemed to enrage the creature as it lunged forward throwing me against a rock resulting in a horrible screech as rock and metal grinded against one another. Its claws scraped against the armor of the mech pushing the mech’s defence capacity to its fullest. Luna and chrysalis magic seemed to do nothing more than annoy the mighty beast as it swatted at them like a common house cat with string. Grunting in pain I fired the particle cannon watching as the beast went arse over tits, its heads all roaring in fury as it quickly regained its balance turning its six eyes on me.

Cursing I pivoted to the left to avoid the lethal sharp claws of the chimera as I tried to think of  a way to take it down using missiles was far too hazardous there wasn’t the space or the time to fire one. The rail gun and particle gun did small titbits of damage to the creature, but a slow drawn out fight would only result in us dying. Sadly on top of the creatures claws and teeth it turned out that the dragon head retained its ability to breathe fire. I narrowly avoided a deadly jet of flames as sweat poured down my body soaking my armor causing massive discomfort as I found it hard to breathe due to the strain the fight was having on me.

I aimed my cannon at the firing off shot after shot hoping that it might somehow kill the bastard. Sadly the creature was far smarter than I had anticipated, ducking forward the dragon head massive jaws clamped down on my arm which held the cannon and with a mighty wrench tore the mech’s arm off. Warning signals flared around the mech as the HUD reported that the particle cannon was off line. Terror filled my being as I realised that the only weapon that had any effect had been ripped off and thrown against a tree. Panting for breath I decided to use the mech’s weight and raw strength rather than waste ammunition. Slamming into the beast I succeeded in knocking it back following up with a vicious upper cut into the jaw of the dragon head.  This seemed to have the right effect for the punch dislodged several of the heads teeth and left a nasty mark as it retreated slightly Glaring at me with hate filled eyes. Glowering at cunt I waited for it to make a move hoping to out flank it and with luck maybe end the battle. I jumped back as the chimera leapt its paws outstretched as it attempted to pin me on the ground. I picked up a large sharp piece of metal that had been part of the plane and wielded it like I would a knife.  I know had a weapon that could actually help.  Looking at each other we both charged slamming into each other with enough force to send the girls tumbling.

The chimera made a fatal mistake that i took fool advantage off. The creature’s dragon head stretched forward opening its jaws to unleash a torrent of flames when I had struck taking the sharp twisted metal I rammed the sharp object thought the dragon’s mouth and in to its head.

The head screeched in agony as it flailed about wildly causing the creature to retreat as it tried to remove the object. The dragon’s eyes leaked blood as it deathly wails echoed around the forest never seeming to end as it continued to cry. The massive head went limp signalling that it was finally dead. The reaming two heads were enraged roaring and hissing at me as they advanced on me. Sadly I underestimated there speed and quickly found myself pinned firmly against a tree. This time though I would not escape one of my arms gone and at half the power I had to start i knew that the creature had won. Luna and Chrysalis desperately tried to distract it crying out in distress at my predicament.

Just as I had given up hope A streak of black energy slams into the chimera sending it tumbling as i gasped in relief no longer having the strain of trying to pry the creature off of me. Turning I feel my jaw hit the floor. There in front of me is a pony black as night with wings and a horn? The now identified Alicorn has a billowing Blue mane that like Luna and celestia, seems to be made of energy. The pony steps forward and I see that like us it is badly injured. The chimera now severely injured in a desperate attempt, tries to blindly attack with a flurry of random swipes. This proves to be fruitless as the alicorn nimbly avoids the clumsy swings as it continues to attack the chimera.

Not wishing to be left out I shakily pick up the piece of metal and with a roar, leap forward swinging the blade crudely my target unaware. A sickening splat rang out as the serrated edge of the metal pierces the lion heads severing the spinal cord causing the mighty beast to collapse twitching violently on the ground as its life slowly slipped away.

I woozily climb out of the mech falling to the ground as fatigue finally hits me. I gasp in pain and exhaustion as the black alicorn looks at me in shock. I start to speak up to thank her when a voice cries behind me

“YOU” turning I see that Luna has a look of horror on her face as she stares at the pony.

The black alicorn shakily takes a step forward Its eyes a dark green with slits instead of pupils. Opening its mouth a soft feminine voice utters the simple phrase

“Hello sister”
