The Year is 2034,

Enhanced Defense Mega-corp or E.D.M. for short, is the most invested company in the stock market, as well as the darkest. It's what they DON'T tell you. You see behind E.D.M.'s door, they aren't what they say they are. You see the reason E.D.M. got their power is through dirty work, their secret Mercenaries division. They aren't generic army people, no full-blown bad-asses. They are infamous for taking out multiple mobs, and riots. One of them- ONE of them can kill you with one arm behind their back, but they don't just use their hands, They use tranquilizers, death medicine, guns AND melee weapons....

Owen ran across damp and muddy rooftops. Owen is a mercenary for E.D.M, he had light blond hair that would cover the left side of his face. He heard the faint sound of bullet shots in the back of him. He panicked, afraid that he'd get shot and it would ruin his new black jeans he got for a good 14$. People were a good 56 feet away from him, He jumped over a small gap, it wasn't really wide, but h. He climbed up a water tower.He had an idea to get those people off his back. He attached a C4 to the water tower and then jumped on the taller building, struggling to get up more trying to outrun the agents he kept on planting C4 almost everywhere. He jumped on a apartment building, tripping on a pipe, ripping his jeans.

"Mother FUCKER-" He'd mumble.

As Owen jumped down to a shorter building, he heard the agents getting closer as he ran. He pressed a button on his face mask, he kept running. ringing could be heard from his mask, he jumped onto a taller building, rolling and then sprinted again. He heard somebody pick up...

{Canterlot, Equestria, Present year.......}

Celestia woke up, in her quarters as usual. Her eyes were heavy but she managed to keep them open. Getting up, she yawned faintly, while walking out on her balcony.

"Another Day, another list of duties I have to do." She'd sigh, looking out and raising the sun. The sun shined through out Canterlot, everypony was enjoying the fresh sunshine. The day started in a snap. Markets opened, shops started running, everything was peaceful. Celestia gave a soft smile. She'd walk back into her quarters, doing what she needed to do.

The sun was shining bright, as usual. But, it was strange. Nothing was different about it, accept there was. All of a sudden, a purple crack started to appear. It wasn't very noticeable to the pony eye. but it got bigger every hour....

{ Later that day...}

Celestia was on the throne, looking over papers of a new restaurant being built. She looked at the blueprints, slumping over, tired. Celestia questioned why she was doing this, as it didn't really relate to what she does. Throwing it to the side, Celestia laid back, sighing in relief. A guard came into the room

"Your majest-"

"What must it be this time?!" Celestia boomed. The guard would stand still for a moment, eyes wide open, blinking.

"It's sunset, your majesty." The guard would reply.

"Oh my-" Celestia would walk over to the Guard, " I must apologize for my outburst." She would walk past the guard, as he also turned around and followed her. Celestia, walking out the Throne Room, two guards would follow the tall Alicorn. Eventually they would get to her quarters, all the guards would stop, Celestia opening her door with magic. She walked in more, lighting up her fire place with a match. Looking to her balcony, she trotted over to the balcony, before raising down the sun, she noticed the crack, as it was visible now. Her eyes shot open, looking at it. "What could that be, must be a prank from Luna. no, it couldn't be her, it's too good." Celestia's mind was all over the place. Celestia grabbed her telescope.

"Hey man, what do you think that is on the sun?" a Stallion asked his friend.

"Don't know must be like, a portal." The friend replied, then taking a puff out of a bong.

"No I think it's a-"

"Dude, It's like lighting up." He'd cut off the stallion, looking at the crack in the sun. The crack was indeed lighting up before their eyes. The crack shot out a streak of lightning, shocking the two, killing them. Celestia looked out of her telescope, wincing at the burnt corpses. She'd walk around her balcony, thinking.

"SISTER! DID YOU SEE THE CRACK IN THE SUN?!" Luna busted in, using her Royal Canterlot Voice.

"Yes, I saw." Celestia would reply. Luna came onto the balcony, standing right aside her sister.

"What could it be, It must be a portal to something.." Luna guessed, she was right. The portal cracked open, covering most of the sun.

"Oh my-" Celestia awed, the portal spat out a ship. The ship was the length of a commercial truck and the width of a yacht. The ship looked in bad shape, as smoke was coming out of it. Two specks jumped out, and crashed into the throne room. the ship crashed in a market place. The portal spat out debris from the different dimension. Celestia took charge and tried lowering the sun, but it was a hard process, due to the portal and all. "Could I get a little help, Luna?" She would ask her sister, as Luna nodded shortly after. Together they struggled to get the sun down, but they did. The sun went down, as the portal exploded, shattering.

The portal would leave particles falling down, and bits of Canterlot in ruin. The sisters looked around, smoke coming out from some places of the kingdom.

"I have a bad feeling about this, sister.." Luna shook, looking up at her.

"I do too."

Earlier, On Earth

Owen stood on a building, looking up at a ship. Owen pressed a button on the side of his face mask, as it transformed into a small pod, he slid up his goggles, as it god tangled in his blond hair. Owen is the height of the average human. He wears a black leather coat, with fur on his neck collar, he wears black jeans he just ripped, red boots, and Tactical gloves. Owen got his goggles out of his, as he slightly cursed to the matter. The ship landed, as it opened up its doors.

"Well, look who we have, tired and mad." Said a tall figure.

"Antonio Morcana.." Owen would stare at him, kind of mad. Morcana is 6'6, with long dark black hair that would go down to his mid-back. He had his left face missing, but it is now cybernetic. He had lost his right leg and arm, but replaced them with cybernetics. He wears armor underneath his white coat, with forearm guards on his forearms. He wears a glove on left hand, has blue jeans rolled up above his knee, and he has a boot on his left leg that goes above his knee..

"Get me out of here please." Owen begged, as he walked onto the ship, sitting down on a seat in ship. The doors closed, as it lifted up.

"Hey Owen, how was being chased by secret agents like?" Another person questioned. His name is Marcus, 6'3 and he wears a purple jumpsuit, with black gauntlets, jeans, belt, gloves, boots, bullet proof vest, and a helmet that has purple highlights, and has a spot for his hair to stick out, which was combed back but it is very fluffy.

"And let me guess, Johnathan is driving the ship?" Owen questioned.

"Mhm." The two said to Owen, as Johnathan came out. Johnathan is 6'4, and wears a black jumpsuit with the same accessories that Marcus has but light brown, with a hood down and a tattered cape that goes to the side of his body, he wore a red helmet, with a air mask, and LED eye lights.

"Yeah, I'm here." Johnathan replied. The ship started to experience turbulence. Johnathan rushed to the cockpit, sitting down and pressing multiple buttons and switches.

"Hey Morcana, did you forget to re-charge the Quantum Drivers?" He'd stare into the seating area, as Owen and Marcus stared at Morcana. Morcana's eyes opened.

"Fuck, I forgot." He'd stood still, turning white.

"Fucking GREAT!" Johnathan screamed, as he turned back, putting his hands on his helmet.

"What happens when you don't recharge them?" Owen questioned, confused.

"I don't know." Morcana replied, shaking.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T KNOW?!" Owen and Marcus screamed at Morcana.

"WE'VE NEVER HAD AN EXPERIENCE LIKE THIS!" Morcana Screamed.

"Shit." Owen sighed. The ship started to have purple lightning flicker across it. The ship started to get more bumpier. Johnathan tried to stabilize the ship it would work. The controls sparked, as John got out of his seat.

"Guys, bad news-" John announced.

"No shit." Morcana said, face palming.

A portal cracked open in front of the ship. As it begun to get sunk into it. all of them fell on the floor, the ship started to break. The cockpit sparked and all that. The ship rattled all over the place, being fully emerged in the portal, the Mercenaries being thrown all over.

"MORCANA I'M GONNA FUCKING KILL YOU, YOU COCK SUCKING SON-OF-A-BITCH!" Owen screeched, trying to choke Morcana.

"Wait!" Morcana said, pushing back Owen easily. as the ship stopped rattling, as they finally got back to their feet. Morcana looked out, astonished by the scenery.

"Woah, it's cool." Owen looked out, awed. The ship started to zoom fast, as they were pushed to the back of the ship.
"NEVERMIND, I TAKE IT BACK!" The ship was spat out, as it hovered over Canterlot, starting to give up. Owen ran to the button, as he opened up the bay doors, looking out on the city.

He'd turned, as they were close to the castle. "Screw it I'm jumping, fuck it." Owen, sighed.

"I'm going with you Owen-" Marcus said as he stood aside Owen.

"Let's do it." Owen Jumped, so did Marcus. They started to head for the Throne room, as it seemed the most safest place to land, they shattered glass, as they fell into the throne room. Owen fell with a thump, getting up and looking at his leg."FUCK! MY FUCKING LEG, MOTHERFUCKER!" Owen yelled out in pain, as there was glass shards in his thigh. He'd hover his hand over his thigh, as it was shaking. "Oh god-" He'd rip one out. "Oh, god, OH GOD, It hurts." He'd sob. Marcus stood up, walking over to the broken window. He saw the ship crash, as he looked at the smoked rising from where it crashed. he moved his head to see the portal spitting out debris from the city.

"Christ, this is so fucking bad." Marcus added, as he heard Owen sobbing from the glass shards. "Oh shit, Owen-" He'd run over to Owen, as he pulled the last shard out of his thigh.

"FUCK ME, MARTHA STEWART!" He'd blurt out in pain, as a tear ran down his cheek. "Jesus Christ, fucking sucks" He sighed, "That will probably heal in like Ten Minutes." Owen would get up, limping a bit. "And I liked these jeans." The two chuckled, as they would hear groaning for the other side of the room.

"What the-" Marcus mumbled, as the two turned to see a Royal Guard with glass shards in his abdomen.

"Help, me-" The guard wheezed out. "I need help."

"We'll help you don't worry, bud." Owen told him, as he was on a knee by him, patting the stallion on the helmet. . "Now stay there." the guard nodded. Owen grabbed out a pistol and cocked it.

"WAIT WHAT ARE YO-" The guard was cut off by a bullet in his head. Owen put away the pistol, adjusting his belt a bit.

"Well, I have one question-" Marcus wondered, "What the fuck was that thing?"

"I think it is a horse." Owen replied. "So we're in a dimension with horses, just great." Marcus overheard marching, near the door, he walked over the door slowly, as the footsteps got louder and closer. He'd peek out a window, seeing a blast of energy come towards the door. The door exploded, sending Marcus flying to the other side of the room. Owen, who was about to dispose the body by dropping it out the open window saw these tall figures walk through the door, Celestia and Luna.

"Holy, fuck. Am I high?" He'd say in awe, dropping the pony out the window. "Those are some mean bitches." He'd joke, pressing a button, making his face mask appear. He'd look over to his wrist and pressed a few buttons on his wrist pad, as a sword appeared in his other hand. "Thank god for the future." He'd whisper. The sisters didn't notice him, as the walked over to Marcus, who's helmet had been partially blown off by the explosion. Celestia levitated him up, as his head sloped down, groaning.

"Who are you? And why did you come here?" Luna questioned Marcus.

"Why did you almost blow off my fucking helmet, you bitch." He'd look up, growling a bit. Celestia used magic, taking off his helmet, throwing it aside. "No answers, then." He'd look back, chuckling.

"Tell us!" Luna demanded, as she grabbed a spear from the ground, pointing it to his gut. Marcus spat in her face, as he was thrown back by Celestia soon after.

"That's it, we tried doing this the-"

"Hey, you fucking MULES!" Owen screamed, waving his hand. "LOOK AT ME!" Owen was levitated up, and thrown into the ground by Luna. "Fuck." He groaned.

{Meanwhile...}

The ship had just crashed, as Morcana, groaned in pain.

"Johnnnnn-" Morcana called. "You okay?" Morcana got up slowly, dizzy from the crash. He looked has he fell 5 feet from the crash. He'd felt pain in his stomach, as he got cut, but not deep since his armor protected him. "Oh, greaaat." He'd sigh, stumbling to the ship, coughing a bit. He'd duck down to get into the ship, opening out a compartment, getting a trauma kit. He'd sit down, taking off his coat and placing it next to him, as well as his armor. he started to wrap his stomach with bandages, wincing constantly. "There, all bet-"

"Morcana?" Johnathan peered into the ship, as he wasn't affect at all. "Are you good?"

"I feel like shit." Morcana uttered. "How are you so perfect?"

"I jumped out just in time." John replied.

"Of course." Morcana sighed, putting on his armor and his coat. "I need a drink." Morcana got up, getting out of the ship. They were around some lifted up pieces of rock, and destroyed buildings. Morcana opened up his pouch, taking out a pad that was flickering on and off. He'd tap buttons on it, as it kept flickering. "Fuck, can't get a signal." He'd grunt, putting the pad away. "They must've jumped off over there." Morcana pointed to the throne room. "Let me get a good look," Morcana added, as he grabbed out a little drone with a RC.

"Morcana, we have a problem." Johnathan stuttered.

"What could it be now?" Morcana would reply.

"We don't have that much ammo left." John stated. "We're screwed."

"Dammit." Morcana grumbled. "New plan, lets get to Owen."

"Why?" Johnathan question the cyborg.

"Because I gave him that gauntlet-thing, summons any weapon or ammunition the user pleases." Morcana recalled, "I gave it to him because he would always run out of bullets." Johnathan sighed, looking into the port for items they could use. "If can fly this drone, then we will know where Owen and Marcus is, pretty smart I know." Morcana implored, with a smirk on his face. Johnathan wondered into a broken Doughnut Shop. He saw blood splattered across the walls, with windows shattered. A hole the came from the roof, and another on a wall looked suspicious. John's eyes lit up, looking through the hole, a crater with a construction beam in it scared a lot of the locals around. The Portal was deceased, as the sparkles and dust came down. Johnathan walked back, eyes wide open.

Morcana set out a drone to scout, controlling it with a pad. John walked over, looking at the pad. "What do you think we are?" John questioned.

"Looks like we're in a Kingdom with-" Morcana stuttered again. "Ponies?" John looked at the drone, laughing hard. He'd fall to the floor, laugh harder and louder, catching attention to the locals.

"Oh my, oh-" John got up, sighing. Morcana glared at him. "Oh, you're serious."

"And guess what, you laugh probably GOT THEIR ATTENTION!" He'd boom. John heard marching coming to the left, where the doughnut shop was. Johnathan, climbed up a uplifted rock, back against it, with a deagle in his hand. He turned and peered out, as spears were thrown at him. John ducked, and exhaled loudly. He'd peek again, looking out of a group of guards.

"COME QUIETLY, OR WE WILL-" A guard was shot in his head by John. The Guards charged at John.

"FUCK! FUCK! MORCANAAAAAAAAAAAA-" John exclaimed, scared. "GET A GUN!"

"Hm?" He'd turn to John, seeing the sea of Guards charging at him. "SHIT!" He'd scream, taking out a grappling gun and grappled on top of the Doughnut shop. Johnathan was screaming, as they were grabbing his leg. John kept shooting them, as Morcana used his grapple gun to grab a gun. Morcana received a shotgun, sighing. The jumped down, cocking the gun. Some guards centered towards Morcana, he shot two with one pellet, bonked one in the head jumped over him, and snapping their neck. He was circle by them, he'd sweep them to the floor with his leg. He'd shot most of them, and looked at one guard with a smirk. "Shh----" He'd, crouch putting his right finger over the guards mouth. He'd take his hand away, standing up, stomping on the stallion's head till it was mush. Morcana looked over at John, as he killed the last one. Morcana grappled back to the pad, looking at where Owen was. "I've got his location, lets go.."

"How?" Johnathan questioned.

He'd toss a grappling gun John, as he hooked onto a building. "That's How, let's go."
