Last of Earth

I cracked my neck as I headed out of the interrogation room now turned brutal revenge chamber. Blood covered my gauntlets from when I had squashed in katana guys head like a grape. Hammer man faired better, receiving a bullet to all the arm and leg joints before I finally finished him by punching him into a wall. The blood stain on the wall would never come out, and I was fine with that. I walked up to the warden and thanked him for letting me "see" the prisoners. His eye's where wide and he was slightly green at what he saw. He simply nodded and informed me that a message had come through while I was taking care of my bloody work. Apparently, the jail A.I. unit was going to be replaced and since my armor was advanced enough to carry one, HQ decided to give it to me. I walked to the armory/tech lab they had and looked around. Shotguns, assault rifles, even a few Claw rocket launchers were being loaded back onto the plane that I had arrived by. I asked a loader about it and he said that HQ needed a few extra arms as well as some new solar powered ammo generator. I shrugged and asked about the A.I.

"That hunk of junk?" the tech asked. "Finally glad to see that old hag go."

"I heard that. And I am not old, I took the physical form of a 21 year old female to come off as more friendly for a reason." I turned and saw a green hologram on a pedestal. The hologram in question was, like the voice said, in the form of a female with short hair that came to about her eyebrow.

"So, you're my new host huh?" she asked as she performed a scan of my physical condition. "I never would have expected to be given to a hunk like you." she said. If A.I's could drool I bet she would have been.

I nodded and gave her my name. "My name is Adam. You can refer to me by that name if you wish, but I have heard that A.I's tend to develop name's for their hosts anyway. I'm about to yank you. get ready." I warned. I reached into the pedestal and yanked out a green glowing chip that hummed with energy. I reached onto the back of my armor and found an open slot at the base of my neck. I pushed the chip in and grunted in pain as a headache the size of a tank went tearing through my mind. My armor began pumping pain killers into me so that my headache would not affect me.

"That was rude you know. Yanking me before I could even say goodbye to this place. Anyway. I'm 00467, or sexy as everyone else calls me." said the A.I.

I grimaced at the name but accepted it. I pulled my pack onto my back and checked to make sure the jet attachment was on. Some crazy guy had the great idea of strapping rockets onto the backside of field packs to be used as a sort of jet-pack. The design didn't work till they added the extendible wings to balance the thing. I didn't even know what the rockets ran on. I walked back towards the C-37 and up the ramp. I asked the pilots if they where done checking everything and they gave me a thumbs up. We taxied back onto the runway as I felt the ground quake beneath the plane.

"C-37 we have picked up extreme seismographic activity in this area. Suggest you get to high altitude fast." came a voice over the comms. we acknowledged and took off. The comms were still on as we heard the screaming start. something about the earth being torn in half and that we were all gonna die.

"Sexy?" I called into my helmet.

"Working on it. It does appear that the world is ending though. Pity, I rather liked this world." she said.

The gravity in the plane suddenly shifted as pressure warnings started to blare.

"Whats going on?" I shouted at the pilots.

"WHATS GOING ON!? I HAVE (censored for you're protection) IDEA!" one yelled.

"WE ARE IN SPACE!" the other called. I floated over to a view port and saw that it was true. We had ascended so rapidly into the air we must have lost track of the altitude. But it seemed impossible. I watched as the outside of the view port suddenly became a blaze of color. It looked like we where going through some sort of hole in space. I floated to the rear view port and looked onto earth before it's final moments. I saw the atmosphere decompress explosively as the planet was torn in half.

"NO!" I yelled at the view port.

As if by some cruel joke the universe decided to play, I thought for sure I saw a yellow core looking thing fly past shouting "SSSSSSSSSSPPPPPPPPACCCCEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!" I turned back towards the pilots and saw them both leaning towards the front of the cockpit. I looked out the cockpit and saw the light at the end of the tunnel. Not like I was dying, my armor had auto-sealed itself when my brain heard the word space, but as if there was another world we were going towards.

I heard two shots and looked down to see that the pilots had shot themselves. They knew they where going to die. I didn't blame them. Bit I wasn't going to heaven so easily. I made sure everything in the cargo bay was secured before grabbing a CLAW rocket launcher. The thing was a beast. A circular drum magazine held twelve rockets while three barrels blazed away with the rockets at one rocket every 1.5 seconds. The Claw weighed at least 25 pounds. I strapped it onto the magnetic lock on my back before opening the emergency door.

"Sexy, can you dump all the fuel on this thing by remote? I don't want it going up in flames if it's my only means of survival."

"already done ground pounder." she smirked at me.

I gave the back of my head a whack and the smirk fell off her face as a burst of static went through her.

"Don't call me a ground pounder." I said as I jumped.

It was an odd feeling, falling towards the sky at breakneck speeds. I survived the area below me and spotted what looked to be a castle. I looked to my left and saw the plane screaming over head, heading west. I noted the direction and activated my jets. With small bursts I was able to direct myself towards the castle. I was still going to fast to make an actual landing though. I saw a garden area and tried my best to crash softly into the dirt. To say the least I was going to feel bad for whoever the gardener was. I closed my eye's as I hit the ground.

Celestia's POV

Luna lifted her head from me as I continued to weep over the feeling of death that surrounded me.

"Sister, du'st though hear that?" she asked.

I lifted my ears as well, stopping in my weeping to listen to the most strangest noise I had heard. "SON OF A BITCHHHHHHHH!!!!" *WHUP*. The sound of an object hitting the ground filled my ears. Luna lifted herself off of my bed and walked towards the window that looked over the garden.

"Uhhhhh... sister. Thy may wish to see this." she said with bewilderment in her voice.

I got off my plush bed and went next to her. In the middle of the garden, right below my window, was and imprint in the ground. It looked like the grass and dirt had been pushed several feet into the ground. I flung out my wings as Luna did the same and we both glided down to the hole. Royal guards where already showing up, surrounding the hole.

"Do you think whatever made this is still alive?" Luna asked.

As if to answer her question, a hoof popped out of the ground and grasped the side of the hole. Wait..... this hoof wasn't a hoof. It had smaller claws on it, like dragons or griffins, Just not as sharp looking. I heard a groan and the guards, as one raised their spears towards the whole. Another talon thing popped out and grabbed the other side of the hole. What emerged from the hole made every pony step back in surprise and alarm. Their, looming above even me, was a creature that looked as if it's entire body where made of steel. The thing took a step forward and the guards raised their spears again.

"You! creature! Stop right there." One of the guards yelled. I looked and saw captain shining armor standing with sword drawn standing behind the thing. It looked towards me four blue eyes. Each one shining on the side of its head. The eyes suddenly turned red as it stepped towards shining armor raising a claw behind its back to grasp something. I heard the distinct sound of metal being drawn away from a scabbard and gasped in horror at what I saw in the things claws. In them was held a large curved bade that shone in the moonlight. Dark red liquid slowly dripped from the things claws onto the pommel of the sword. It advanced on Shining with its sword in a ready position.
