When we arrived at the island we were met with nothing but a stench. Everypony and parrot was covering their nostrils to block out the horrid stench. "let's get to the row boats lads, and lassies!". Calaeo yelled. She still had her nostrils closed and I couldn't blame her.

Once we were on the row boats we started to row our way over to the island. As we got closer the smell became worse. Then I was able to smell smoke in the distance.
"anypony else smell that smoke?". I asked a few minutes after leaving the row boats. Fluttershy's eyes had turned into pinpricks.

I turned around to see bodies
Everywhere. There were giant insect like beasts everywhere, and they were all dead. They were massive, almost three times bigger than Celestia. They all had four legs with tendrils on their heads and giant jaws.

Green blood was everywhere to be seen, but that's not all. There was plenty of other bodies that were similar to us. Only they were not so lucky. They were dismembered and cut down to bits. No pony could hold it in. We all vomited.

"what the buck!". Rainbow dash yelled. We came into a clearing to see more of these black armored beings. Only they seemed to have met a worse kind of death. Fluttershy was crying her eyes out. She had refused to open them.

"maybe there are survivors?". Pinkie asked. Her hair was deflated and she looked so sad. Rarity's eyes went wide and then she fainted. I looked to my right to see what she was looking at. Only to seer another insect. It was on top of a small boulder, and it's legs were raised in the air. It had a black armored stallion impaled through one of its legs. Though what surprised all of us, was that the stallion was barely alive!

He was grunting, and crying. He was reaching for a strange club like weapon. He looked up with blood coming out of his mouth, ears, wound, and eyes. "please... The gun...". He said. We took a step back at how this creature could speak. Calaeo looked at the club. She approached and picked it up.
"this?". She said. The stallion nodded his head as Calaeo reached upward and gave the figure his club. Then the figure looked at us.
"thnk... you.". He said. He put the barrel side of his weapon towards his head. Then pulled a trigger.

BAM

We all jumped in surprise. The stallions blood covered the ground in front of us. Looking at him now, his head was missing. It was just a fountain of blood. We all started to cry at this point. "let's look for survivors. Then get the Tartarus out of here.". I said.

There was a high pitched roar. Almost like a squeal. We looked at the source to see several of the insects running at us. One of them had a head, stuck in its leg. "Nevermind. RUN!!!". I shouted. I used my magic to levitate rarity in the air and I ran in the opposite direction those creatures were coming from.

My eyes fluttered open. I was net with the afternoon sky. The stench of corpses in the air. I sat up. Only to be terrified. "where the hell am I?". I muttered. I was in some kind of clearing. A few palm trees surrounded me. Some boulders and a big hill in the shape of a mountain was close by.

I stood up with my body aching. My gun was strapped to my body so at least it's close to me. Looking around the clearing, there are body's everywhere. Some are unconscious while others bled out. The arachnids were in the same situation. Taking advantage of that I approached one of the unconscious bugs, and shot it's nerve stem. Blood seeped out and almost splattered on me.

I repeated the process until every big in the clearing was dead. I then approached qlmost of my dead brothers in arms then grabbed as much ammunition as possible. Once done I began to check to see if my platoon was OK. We took a few casualties but in total there were fifteen of us left.

I heard a gun shot in the distance. It was a single shot. "poor bastard.". I said. "ugh where am I?". I heard. I looked over to see my lieutenant Natasha. She was just waking up along with several others. I walked over. "ma'am we seem to be in an unknown area. The bugs also ended up here but I took care of them before they woke up.". I said with a salute. Natasha had a raised eyebrow. "didn't know the bugs could sleep.". She simply said. She stood up with some trouble. I helped her up. "thanks.". She said. There was screaming in the distance. The screaming was feminine, and almost sounded like a civilian. There was no gun fire so it was safe to assume it was civilians.

"well where ever we are we still have a job to do.". Natasha said. "everyone fall in. We need to kill the bugs and protect the civies!". She said. We all started to move but that's when Natasha gave out those final words.

"MOVE IT YOU APES! YOU WANT T O LIVE FOREVER!!".

We began to jog towards the sound of the screams. With each passing second I began to feel as if we were going to be to late. As we got into another clearing I saw what looked human, but not. They had human features but not entirely human. Some of them had wings, one had a horn, another had both. The others have neither.

The other things that accompanied them seemed to have been humanoid parrots. There were three of them, and one of them looked like a pirate captain. "uhh lieutenant? What do we do?". I asked. Natasha had a raised eyebrow. Yet she seemed to be in some kind of trance. Maybe a flash back.

"I say we help them.". She said with confidence. Some of the other troopers looked like they were about to argue but they let it go.

With that, Natasha charged out of the trees. I followed in pursuit.

Author's Note

Well what do you think? I know it doesn't really come out well on paper but I am trying. Any recommendations on what I should do to make this better would be appreciated.
