15 Years of Change

Last time on 15 Years of Change :

'Wow! They speak perfect Equestrian!? This is so exciting!' Twilight thought while taking down notes. An entirely new sentient species. This brings more questions than answers. While she looked away, one of them dissapeared. She asked Applejack and Rainbow, but they didn't know either.

After a short amount of time they heard rustling behind them followed by a voice.

- "Hate to be a party pooper, but you're coming with us."

Chapter 3: Akward Meetup

Date : 2030, 25th of August

Location : ???

Time : 1310 hours

• "Who are you?!" Lavander unicorn asked. She was never so offended and treated in her life. Well... maybe by Discord. But this event took it to the next level.

• "I'l be the one asking the questions." Jesse shot back. "Who are you, why are you following us, and where are we?"

• "Why should we tell you, anyways?" The cyan mare mocked. She was now face to face with her escaped target. Creatures shot looks between each other, before one of them said something.

• "Robin, fesseln sie." Jesse said in German.

• "Ja Kommandant."

Robin went to take the rope and returned quickly. He creeped up on her. Her eyes widened as she saw a long thick rope held by the creature. She was terrified.

• "Hey! What are you doing?!" The cyan pegasus yelled.

• "Shutting you up." Robin said in a deep voice.

As he approached her, she made a final attempt to change the direction of this outcome. Rainbow took off, and launched herself at him at a tremendous speed. Robin could only say one thing ;

• "Shit."

She struck him with her hind legs, knocking him unconcius. Vedran and Jesse looked at each other. They were in a bad position.

Jesse quickly looked around himself, and remembered something about liquid metal in the magazines Vedran though him. Both of them could fire tranquilizer rounds, which were specially made bullets that inject anestesia.

But they needed to do it fast, because the orange pony was charging at them.

• "Vedran! Tranquilizer rounds!"

Both of them loaded up their respective mags, naturally, Vedran was the first one to shoot.

He raised his chrome plated Desert Eagle .50AE, which could do more than a little thing to living tissue.

*Click*

He turned off the safety.

And fired.

*BOOM*

As the shot echoed through everyone's ears, they could see the effectivness of the round. The orange pony fell to the ground, and it seemed like it was sleeping. All of the other ponies looked at her in horror, as it gave Vedran and Jesse more time to take them all down.

• "Applejack!" Twilight yelled.

But it was already too late. Jesse and Vedran aimed their weapons and tranquilized all of the remaining ponies.

Time : 1355

Wake up...

Twilight was regaining her consciusness. Her slumber felt like an eternity. She remembers nothing else but being hit by something... And it really stung. Twilight started to open her eyes whatever so slightly.

• "Get the fuck up!"

She turned back on. Like a spring under pressure.

• "Huh? What?" She spat out.

She looked around. She was in a cage! Her friends were still lying next to her. Twilight looked outside and saw all three creatures, with one of them wearing bandages across it's face. He looked angrier than a thousand suns.

• "Are our guests awake yet?" A new voice came from inside the metal beast.

• "They sure are." The bandaged creature spoke.

• "Delightful. I'm gonna get my notebook."

The biped jumped out. He went for one of the tents they put up and quickly came back with some paper and a strange quill. He took a chair and sat down.

• "Why, hello there. I'l have to get some awnsers out of you. If you do not co-operate we might aswell kill you, Twilight Sparkle."

• "How do you know my name?!"

• "Ab, ab, ab! I ask the questions, and you awnser them!" He gestured with his... Appendages. "First of all, where are we? I know this is Equestria, but is it the Everfree forest?"

• "I..uh...How do yo-"

• "I'll take that as a yes. Why were you following us?"

• "I..."

*Thump*

Twilight passed out. It was a overload she couldn't handle.

Vedran looked over the edge of the cage.

• "Interesting reaction." He raised his eyebrow and wrote something down.

Time : 1445

• "And she passed away."

Vedran explained everything. On how he became a brony and got involved with the community, but those days passed. He now knows almost every pony he will probably encounter.

• "That sucks." Robin sighed.

• "I also thought about releasing them. The weapons we use is kind of a overkill here."

• "We will, in around five hours. When it gets darker." Jesse got on his feet and started walking towrads the cages. Robin and Vedran instinctively followed

As all three of them entered the cave, the poines stop talking to each other, and shifted their eyes towards the tankers. They were silent... Just looking at them. Following them with their eyes.

Robin though of a clever thing to say to them. He wasn't going to miss the chance to have a litttle fun.

• "We know everything about your escape plan, and it's not going to work." Robin crossed his arms.

• "You do?" Pinkie said, but Twilight quickly covered her mouth and smiled.

• "We're going to release you...But you need to be patient. We don't know what to do with you, might aswell just let you go." Jesse replied with confidence. He quickly turned, and left with his fellow soldiers.

The Elements looked at each other, only Fluttershy seemed to be under pressure. Her mind couldn't handle the violence that she went through yesterday. All of them knew they couldn't do anything from this cage, which seemed unnatural, according to them. It blocked any interference with magic, or any element that currently exists in Equestria, it simply wouldn't budge. They had to trust them, whether they like it not.

Time : 2000

They've been waiting for quite a while now. It became boring. Twilight was still thinking about how that biped could know their names and such. Pinkie was chatting with Rainbow and doing some crazy tricks, trying to pass time. Applejack was lying in the corner and sleeping. Last and not least, Fluttershy was eyeballing everything. There was something suspicious going on.

• "Guys, come check this out!" Jesse called out. He was working on some sort of suits for his team.

It's been five and a half hours now. It was almost time to let the Main Six go.

• "What is it now? You already gave us night vision goggles, GPS's, throat microphones... And why the hell do we need GPS's for?! There are no satellites in this hell hole!" Robin screamed fouriously.

• "Good point, but this is is gonna be the best." Jesse smiled.

• "Let me guess, the NCSS?" Vedran stood up.

• "The what?" Robin and Jesse said.

• "The Nanonite Complex Stealth Suit. Capable of infinite cloaking at expense of your movement speed. It communicates with your weapon's nanoes, which makes weapons cloak too. It goes well with these Tactical Awareness Glasses. Or TAC, for short. Those are like normal shades, but also have nanoes in them."

• "What a surprise. You sure do like nano tech." Robin scoffed.

• "Yeah, but these are special. They have Friend or Foe identification system, weapon ammo count, full ammo count, which weapons you have equipped, and which cartrige they fire. The throat mic's can also be linked to them, so you can activate them on your own will. They are also equipped with a standard minimap, in which this case acts like a compass and a minor GPS, but it's useless without a satellite. Oh, and also shows who is speaking over the mic."

Vedran just smiled.

Jesse's eye twitched.

• "Are you a spy? Or have been working for the CIA? How can you know all of this?!"

• "I'm an engineer, it's my job to know."

• "Right, gear up. Let's release them, so we can think about getting out of here."
