Finding peace

Meanwhile in the white house...

"Mister president I wonder why you have all these creatures in your newly built prison?"

"Because we don't know what these things are they seem to be related to a popular fandom before in the internet. Yet I can't be so sure"

"Interesting, what can you say about these things mister president?"

"Some of them are peaceful, some of them are quite hostile but merciful. They refuse to eat some of the food what we usually give to inmates"

"Where did you see these 'ponies'?"

"In the forest, I saw them building a small campsite just not far away from here"

"One more question president"

"Yes?"

"Everyone still wants answers. Why did you ban the internet in America and well, everwhere? I'm dying to find out what happened to Markiplier!"

The news on the tv went on and on about how they have captured most of us even the princess of friendship and other things that were unrelated to it. I can't believe that happened. I last saw her being dragged all bloody. I just can't believe it.

"Hey, chin up. Thinking about that moment again?" Tulip Blossom look to me

I looked at her with a long sigh. She understood and continued to watch. The wood creaks behind me.

"Oh man, what a party last night. Oh hey Thunder. How's your wing?"

I turned towards who spoke and saw our savior. Her name is Jennifer. Rose said it was a weird name but I think it's unique. We've been here for three days. In those days, Rose and I learned from Jennifer about the Human world and all its beauty until chaos ensued from the choices of this president. She even said something about him being worser than another president who tried to build a wall around a specific place. Last night I remember about setting off a firecracker in one of the nearby lakes here.

"It's fine Jennifer" I called back

Jennifer jumped over the couch and came back to sit on it. I don't know how they sit like that. I remember I have made friends with a pony who sits like that I just don't remember who.

"I haven't thought about it but I'd like to know where you came from. Or how you got here?"

"We came from a magical land named equestria where friendship is magic. There were no wars in our world. So seeing the war down by camp left us confused and scared." Tulip answered

"I see. Oh and Thunder, last night at the party you said that a guard had seen you running in the forest?"

"Yes, he didn't chase us. I don't know why. I was exhausted yet he didn't take us. I bet they are looking for us right now. I think-" I felt a sudden surge of panic "I think we need to leave this place. Do you know anywhere we can hide?" I said trying to not sound panicked.

"Well, I know places where you can hide but they're most likely haunted"

"Hiding won't help. We need to get back to the portal. Last time I saw it, it was crawling with humans but if we do come back to our world we will go straight for help. If the humans haven't figured to enter the portal yet" Tulip entered the conversation

"I can arrange a distraction for a few minutes. Should give you enough time to get in"

We went for a plan. I flew up the sky until I was hiding behind a cloud. When I touched the cloud my hooves went straight through. Strange, because we pegasi can walk on clouds. As far as we know now, there are a total of eight guarding the portal. Four are next to the portal, there are two next to the front gate and the other two are guarding the flanks. I can carry her with my hooves while I'm flying silently. Jennifer will claim that we were at her house hiding.

By noon the plan was set. Jennifer lured four guards out. We flew over the wall. By then we entered the base. I looked all around. The walls were painted in camo from the inside. One side of the base had five green tents. All of them were open. The tents were filled with crates and sleeping bags. The boxes were gray and has a logo of three yellow bullets at the front of it. On top of every crate was what looks like a gun. It's scary looking, even from this distance.

When we entered the portal I saw ponies around the portal with Princess Celestia next to portal. Followed by five other important ponies. I knew who these ponies were and I asked the princess what she was going to do. I'm at disbelief

"You were going to do what?!" I shouted

"You're going to close the portal?!" Tulip shouted with me

"You are going to leave princess Twilight alone with the mercy of who knows what we're facing?" I shouted once more

"It's much more safer that way, besides princess Twilight should know what to do. She has never failed before"

"What will she do? Will she show them kindness and friendship again? It didn't work at all for us"

She stayed silent for a while then said

"We will find a solution but in that time I suggest you go back to your homes and leave this one to us"

I did not want to argue further more to her, instead I looked at her in the eyes. She stayed silent then her eyes went wide. I looked behind me and realized that Tulip went back in the portal. I turned around

"No, Thunder!" The princess said

Too late. I entered in the portal and four guards were seemingly waiting for me at the other side. I saw Tulip on the floor not moving but twitching. Her chest was bloody, I can see two bullet holes at her side.

"Another one!" a grizzly voice boomed behind the mask

"Ah shit!" I said

Without a moment of thought I took flight. The four of them looked up and took no hesitation to aim their guns towards me.

"We got a flyer!"

"Get 'im. Get 'im"

Tat-tat-tat!

Bam! Bam!

A bullet grazes through my left flank and another hit me in the chest. My vision started to blacken. Another hit me this time in my rear left. I fell down to the ground with a hard thud.
