The Awakening

Chapter 3: The meeting

By: Wolf

(Rainbow Dash's perspective)

Wolf has left our house so he can find a spot to build his own house. I told him he could live with us forever and we wouldn't care. But he just said 'I don't want to be imposing.' and just walked out the front door. He told me he could survive almost any fall, since he had that black suit on, he called it a 'Nano-suit', it sure looked cool, and I couldn't help and want one. He's been telling me how to use much of the human technology in my infinity cube, such as the guns or the camera, and the many other fancy gadgets there was. He even helped me with target practice and took a picture.

It was pretty awesome, but he told me it's crucial to have these skills, as he fears we might need them soon... He's just being paranoid. I reasoned with myself I mean, how could he know, but he said something about 'other humans' so that kind of got me worried, as he was able to gain access to the human's internet, he showed me awful things, I now understand why he hates his race so much, he's right, I should prepare myself more.

“Fluttershy!” I yell.

“Y-Yes?” She responds

“We need to get prepared, just in case Wolf is right.” I told her “He showed me what humans were capable of, they kill thousands of each other just because they have different beliefs, imagine what they would do to other species that might threaten their intelligence”

“Oh-okay.” Fluttershy whimpered.

“It's ok babe, I’ll help you.” I say as we fly out the door with our little filly, taking her to the daycare. “I mean, it's better safe then sorry, right?”

“Yes.” Fluttershy firmly stated. “We need to get ready.” She said, as she pulled a 'M1911' as Wolf told me about a lot of the different weapons, out of her box.

“It's a good thing these 'guns' are modified for pony use!” I exclaimed. “We should be heading to the firing range he set up.”

So we got to the firing range, and I took out the headphone like things, and put them around my ears, but this time I noticed a little stick thing that's on the right ear cover. I put it down and then I hear minimal amounts of static, but then I hear Wolf talking.

“Hey 'Dash, I see you figured out the 'ear covers' as you called them can actually be used as a radio.” He explained

I relay this information to Fluttershy and she puts her headset on.

“Eeeep!” Fluttershy exclaimed “Oh, it's just Wolf...”

“You must be wondering why you couldn't hear what I said to Fluttershy, I was using a closed channel, set your headset's frequency to 274.371, so we can all talk while we're practicing.”

I was then greeted by static, so I dialed the knob until the readout said 274.371 and I was immediately greeted my Wolf.

“Good Job Dash!” He exclaimed. “I already went over the same instructions with Fluttershy, want to start firing?”

“You bet!” I replied

“Today however, we'll be using Automatic weapons, Futtershy wont because this is her first time, so select either a machine gun, or an assault rifle.” He ordered.

I look through my cube, trying to find a good looking weapon. I spot a green weapon with a funny sight.

“What about this one?” I ask.

“Oh, the Steyr AUG, nice choice, you should kneel down as so,” He explained as he got out the same weapon, and kneeled. “and look through the sights, aim, and pull the trigger!”

I follow his instructions but the gun doesn't fire!

“Hey Dash, you left your safety on!” He snickered

“Oh, heh heh.” I muttered

I pull the trigger again, after turning the safety off, and I feel the recoil and almost miss the target completely.

“Woah!” I stupidly say.

“You'll get the hang of it, just keep trying, but don't forget to reload, it'll show you how to in the little booklet that's attached to it.” He explained “I'm going to check on Fluttershy.”

(Wolf's Perspective)

Well I hope Dash doesn't shoot something she isn't supposed to... But I’m worried about Fluttershy, I doubt she'll be able to fire the gun without freaking out, let alone shoot it at someone/pony... If she took a life, it would crush her... wait, holy shit! She's firing at the target and getting bull's eyes with every shot!

“Fluttershy! Are you sure you've never use a gun before?!” I ask.

Although I get no reply, I assume she's thinking of what could possibly happen if she doesn't do anything to protect her new family. I ponder if she believes I’m apart of her family until I can't come to a conclusion and I just ask her.

“Hey 'Shy,” I ask

“Hmmm?” She responds while reloading.

'Man up! You didn't freak out when you say a bunch of talking, magical, technicolor ponies!' I thought.

“Ummm, do you consider me a part of your family?” I ask.

“Yes, of course we do, you've been helping us prepare for the worst, and I don't know if we could ever repay you!” Shy happily replies.

“Aw, thanks!” I replied. “We should be getting to this 'meeting' shouldn't we?” I just remembered.

“Oh yeah, we should get going!” 'Dash replied

“Where is it?” I ask

“It's at the library, where Twilight lives.” She replied

So we walk to the library and nothing eventful happens, the birds chirp, the bunnies hop, all that jazz. We get to the library and knock on the door, there's no answer. I say 'Shit just jot real.' as I kick open the door and turn on the accelerated vision mode in my Nano-suit and simultaneously pull out a Glock-18 Automatic pistol and  pinpoint 5 targets, each have a knife at the throat of  Rarity, Applejack, Twilight, Spike, and Pinkie. Me, 'Dash, and Fluttershy Each fire rounds into the heads of the unknown assailants, not missing a shot.

“Thank Celestia you came when you did!” Twilight Exclaimed  “We would've been goners!”

“Those, were humans...” I croaked “Why did you release them, you should always ask me first, or you might get hurt, like you almost did!”

“Ok Wolf, we'll ask you next time.” Twilight confirmed.

“Ok, thanks, now why am I here?” I asked “What's this meeting about?

“We know y'all didn't like being a human, so 'Twi was lookin' for a spell to help, and she found one.”

“We just need some of your DNA first, preferably blood.” Twilight said “It flows better with the magic.”

I grab a knife from one of the fallen humans and cut my hand.

“Here.” I say as I hold out my hand.

“Ok, now this will only hurt A LOT for a moment.”

I was starting to have doubts, but I was like, ehh, what the hell, why not? Twilight's horn started to glow and my vision faded. When I woke up I felt... Different... My head hurt and so I lifted my hands to it, but they weren’t hands, they were hooves. I look to my sides and notice I have large, majestic wings.

“You make a fabulous Pegasus Wolf.” Twilight said, and was she blushing?

'I'm thankful, but you're going out with Pinkie already!' I telepathically think to Twilight.

'I know, I’m sorry, but you look so... attractive...' She thought back to me.

'Can I change my form into any other creature?' I think

'Yes.' Twilight thinks back.

At that moment I change myself into a wolf, I still had my wings, but I was a wolf now.

(The horn is part of the armor)

“This, has made my day!” I exclaim

“COOL! IWANNABEABLETOCHANGESHAPEANDSTUFF!” Pinkie enthusiastically screeched.

“Pinkie, this spell only works on humans, a powerful sage once used it, as he was sick of being human too.” Twilight explained. “I Knew him as Star Swirled the Bearded.”

“Well to thank you all, I made (found) some Nano-suits, the great thing about them is they flex! Here take a look !”

“Buck yeah!” 'Dash exclaimed as I already knew she wanted one.

The others thanked me, and I took them Down to the firing range to see what weapons they're proficient in. This day keeps getting better and better!
