Chapter 4: The Arsenal

(Wolf's Perspective)

As we headed down to the firing range, I turn back into a pony. I'm lucky I get to be an Alicorn, it seems all royalty is. It's cool, I have magic and can fly, even though I could just change into a bird. Oh well, It's still pretty cool. I wonder who will be best with what weapon... I guess I’ll get to find out! We arrive at the firing range.

“Ok, everypony listen up, we're trying to find out what weapon suits you guys the best! You should be able to carry a primary weapon, a sidearm, and a melee weapon.” I instruct. “So try all the weapons you can! There will be instructions on each weapon on how to clean, use, and reload it, so have fun!”

I walk behind my little squad, and notice Fluttershy, I assume she will be our medical officer. I walk up to her, slowly, and say into the mic,

“Hey 'Shy.”

“What?” She politely responds.

“Since you will most likely be our medical officer, I’d recommend some short range weapons. Such as the AA-12, or The Benelli M4. Or some high powered pistol.” I explain.

“What about this?” She says as she pulls out a Desert Eagle.

“Erm... if you think you can use it.” I replied.

She fires five rounds into the target, all manage to hit it.

'Wow, she's good, I’m surprised she didn't hit herself in the face on accident.' I thought.

“Well that covers your sidearm. What about your primary weapon?” I ask.

“Let's see...” She says as she rummages through the cube I set aside for weapons and ammo, it was dark green with yellow highlights, she pulls out the AA-12. “How about this?”

“That will do fine, just read the booklet that came with it, and start test firing, I’ll see that you get a good melee weapon later.” I tell her as I watch the rest of the group.

I see that Applejack is using M61 Vulcan 20mm cannon , i figured that much, she also had a broadsword, but with all that power, she couldn't carry a sidearm. 'Dash was using the Steyr AUG that she was using earlier, along with a M1911. Rarity was using a flamethrower , and i already told Twilight she'd be in the command room, but she still had a S&W .500 as a sidearm, just in case. Pinkie had a grenade launcher, and a berretta.

"So i see everyone had found their weapons of choice, now we just need the melee weapons." I explained.

So all the ponies were gathering up weapons. Fluttershy found a syringe that had red liquid in it that was labeled 'Adrenaline', 'Dash grabbed a survival knife, since she would probably be recon, Rarity grabbed a standard knife, and Pinkie grabbed a mace.

“So now that we're prepared we should-”

“PARTY!” Pinkie interrupted

“Fine, we'll party.”

So a few hours later we met up at Pinke's place, it was a small sweets business called 'Sugarcube Corner', all the food their looks great, but we had something better.

“So what did everypony bring?” I said, as I was getting used to pony-talk.

“I brought us some cider!” Applejack exclaimed as she brought the alcoholic beverage out.

“I brought cake!” Pinkie said.

“I brought Applejack Danial's!” 'Dash said, much to everypony's amusement.

“Well I brought Vodka.” I said

“What's that?” The others asked.

“Just about the most alcoholic brew ever, other than my custom brew.” I say as I pour shots for everypony.

“Be careful, one shot will probably get you wasted!” I warned, even though alcohol doesn't affect me very much, as it was part of some sort of 'training' I started to remember.

So all the other ponies drank up the vodka, all getting entirely too drunk. It was pretty amusing, as I could drink the entire bottle, and not feel the affects of alcohol. Although some ponies managed to hide the affects better than others, I could tell they were all drunk, even Pinkie (although it took several rounds). I wondered if any of them would start a drinking contest, I really hoped not, as they would probably drink way too much. The party was winding down, mainly since the other ponies passed out.

“Hmmmmm.” I muttered as I decided to pull a prank.

I got a bunch of duct tape and taped them to the floor. It would take a few hours for them to wake up, so I decided to take a look at some of the manuals in my infinity cube and read some of the books Twilight gave me. I also enchanted my weapons, so my AK-47 now could fire explosive rounds, and never had to reload, I just had to think of what ammo I wanted to use. After that, the others started to wake up, and they all gasped.

“Hey!” 'Dash yelled. “Let us out!”

“Hmmm, should I?” I asked.

“Yes, please, I mean if that's ok with you.” Fluttershy answered.

“Ok. But you guys will never want to drink again when you wake up in the morning.” I smirked.

So me, 'Dash, and Fluttershy got went over to the daycare and got their kid, and flew back to their house. It was already dark, and we had nothing to do, so we tucked the baby in, and went to sleep. I went over to the couch, and fell asleep. I woke up about three hours later to creaking and moaning from upstairs.

“Really?” I asked myself. “They have to do that every night don’t they...?”

So instead of trying to fall asleep again, since it was about four AM, I flew outside and tried to find a spot to build my house. But after awhile I gave up and started to fly back to their house, but I noticed a hole in the ground. I flew in and gasped.
