One Hell of a Gamble.

An Unknown amount of time earlier...

Rilik's eyes opened as he came back into reality, he couldn't believe it, he gripped his chest as he felt for the wound that had killed him. There was a deep hole but it was covered up by a piece of armor, his vision was foggy and it wouldn't go away, he felt around him and found out he was incased in a box or something, he tried pushing on the board above him but his arms felt like they were just dead weight on him, he tried again at pushing the top board incasing him, the board moved and dirt fell in, the ODST fought his way out of the burial of dirt and saw light poke through the places the dirt hadn't covered.

He positioned himself out of the casket and closed the door again, he still had the dirt covering him to deal with, he tried to force it all off and was provied with success as he was in daylight now, he recognized the scenery around him almost immediately, he looked around and saw the remains of the ship not to far away, he got up from his previous grave and tried walking. His legs gave out almost immediately as he tried walking, he tried again, only to be rewarded with the same failure.

"What the hell? Why are my legs fucking to weak to support my weight?" Rilik cursed at himself while trying to walk. After multiple failures his legs were finally able to support him, he wobbled over to the ship remains, he lifted up his helmet and rubbed his eyes clearing the foggyness that had remained. His legs felt a little better after using them and he was walking normal other than a slight stumble every now and then, he climbed up the remains of the ship and searched around the compartments.

He found a the barrel of a gun in a hidden compartment, there was a note in the end of it, he snatched it and opened it up, the hand writing was unmistakably that of his dead friends.

"Rilik, in the ship's compartments is a hidden sniper rifle that is disassembled if you find it all and it's yours buddy.

From, Rob"

"That motherfucker hid a sniper from me all the time, gotta give him props for it though. Even in death he helps me." Rilik muttered as he searched more of the compartments. He found the receiver, and the stock but no ammo to it, he felt around the cockpit for more compartments, he found one right under where Rob's feet would have been. He opened it, he found a bag in it, he lifted it up and it was quite heavy for looking so small, Rilik opened it up and he grew a smile under his helmet, not only was their lots of ammo for the sniper but there was a weird looking pistol with two more clips to it, and there was last but not least, eight rectangles of pure C4.

"Damnit man how, did you sneak this past me." Rilik whispered to himself as he inspected the pistol and it's magazine, it seemed to be one of the ODST silenced pistols modified to use major tranquilizer rounds, he put in on his side holster and then began to run through the weapons he had.

"Tranquilizer, check, sniper rifle, check, C4 check, wait didn't I have my revolver?" Rilik thought as he started to search the many pouches of the armor, he found it in his chest pouch, it's barrel had been broke off a little bit but was not beyond being unable to fire. It held no bullets within it's chamber so Rilik opened a compartment that he had stashed the reserve ammo for it before the massacre. He grabbed as much ammo as he could and put them into the handy speed reloaders he had in the ship.

Rilik proceeded to climb down the ship and took one last look at it, he noticed it had become decayed and badly rusted over whatever amount of time he was gone, he didn't want to look at it again but decided not to blow it up.

"Just in case I ever need to find here this'll be the landmark." he said then patted the rusted ships hull one last time. He set off in the direction of the town he saw when he had escaped that nice equines house.

"What am I doing here? What am I going to do? Haven't I done my part already..." Rilik couldn't help but think as he walked.

He soon came across the town and took the sniper rifle off his back, he studied the sky to figure out what time of day it was, the sun was high in the sky, he spotted the town in the distance and set up on a high up hill.

Through his scope he could see the town, it was wrecked but for the most part it seemed as though the equines still used it, the buildings were partially destroyed but ponies still used them like nothing had happened. They all seemed oblivious to the fact that their town had been destroyed, he spotted the ponies putting up multiple decorations and furnishings going throughout the buildings.

"Just what are you planning now you stupid equines." Rilik muttered, he zoomed in on a particular sign hanging on two street posts, it read "Welcome Prince Helios!" Rilik thought for a moment and decided to investigate further into this new prince. He despised these things, he had killed it's previous rulers, his vengeance brought upon the world before, but he didn't believe in second chances, this society was condemned to death no matter what. He spotted sort of plaque in the middle of the town and a few of the ponies gathering around it, they were all crying there eyes out as far as he could tell with the scope.

He zoomed out of the village and got up from his position on the hill, he started the long walk towards it, being careful not be spotted in the light, he looked up to the sun to see if it was going to be dark soon, he noticed it was in the same position as the last time he looked at it.

"How is that even possible? It's at least been an hour." Rilik said to himself as he strolled down the hillside. He came upon the town shortly after, he hid in the shadows of alleyways which were few and very tight squeezes.

He came up on a house, it was dark inside and no one seemed to be their, he slipped into the house and went up to the attic of it, he found a convenient window up in it and the whole attic was shrouded in darkness, he had a good view of the center of town and the way in that had the welcome sign on it.

He found some boxes in the attic and put them in front of the window, he set up tghe sniper on the boxes and zoomed in on the plaque, the amount of zooming allowed him to read it word by word, it read:

"To the families of Ponyville that lost ones in the alien attack on Canterlot and the beams of light that killed so many ponies. We put this here to comemerate the loss of those ponys and to give our sympathy to Ponyville residents, the horrendous acts of these alien species is unforgetable and is a very dark spot in our history, we want you all to know that the acts of the aliens shall be remembered as the worst terrorist attack in our history."

"Lies! None of that is true, you attacked us first! It was self defense, you bastards just attacked us. My acts were as justified as ever, you killed Rob senselessly." he yelled in anger. He zoomed in on some of the ponies crowding the center of town and saw they were all focusing on the horizon, he moved his sights and saw the object they were all staring at, a flying chariot was coming towards the town, it was being carried by two pegasi ponies that were plated in gold.

Rilik put in a magazine for the sniper and loaded it, he saw it's passenger in all his glory, waving and smiling to smaller equines below, the yellow and red equine was truly a sight, his mane a glowing red, orange, yellow color that kept shifting colors.

"Well this was never gonna be easy." Rilik said contemplating what he would do, he set his sights on one of the guard ponies and just watched them descend.

Rilik heard a door open and quietly got off his sniper perch and grabbed the tranquilizer pistol from his side holster, he took slow steps towards the stairs and heard voices start talking on the lower floor, he cursed at himself quielty for not being prepared if someone did in fact live here.

"Haven't you noticed that it seems like Twilight and Rainbow Dash are going out?" said a female voice.

"What are you talking about it? It's more like Twilight and Applejack, and Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy!" said another voice. Rilik mentally facepalmed at the gossip.

"I end up in the house of two gossiping school girls. Fuck me, this is why I never liked these urban covert ops missions." Rilik thought as he readied his tranquilizer pistol.

"Wait does that mean Rarity and Pinkie Pie are going out?" said the first voice.

"Probably Colgate." said the second.

"Well don'tcha think it's weird that they all turned out to be dating each other Cherilee?" the voice now known as Coilgate said.

"Well I heard it from Applebloom who heard it from Derpy Hooves and she heard it from Scootaloo." Cherilee said.

"Your their teacher and you believe it?" Colgate asked.

"Well it does sound pretty farfetched to me but Scootaloo seemed pretty sure of herself on it." Cherilee said.

"Oh the prince is coming over here maybe he'll see our new store!" Colgate yelled in excitement.

"Prince Helios! Prince! Come see our new store." Cherilee boomed over the crowds outside.

"Looks like it my lucky day." Rilik thought as he smiled waiting for his chance to 'talk' to this new prince.

"Guards wait outside I'm sure that these two lovely women wouldn't want to hurt me." Helios said, his posh voice clearly different than the Ponyville residents.

"It's a bit empty and dark in here isn't it ladies?" the prince asked.

"Oh it's because we just got started and we have all the supplies and furnishings coming tommorow! It's so nice to meet you Prince Helios!" Colgate yelled in glee.

"Oh it's quite alright my ponies, but what is this store going to be selling exactly?" Prince Helios questioned.

"Well we're gonna be sel--" Cherilee said but was cut off as Rilik jumped out of the attic and shot the two gossiping ponies with the tranquilizer darts, they fell to the ground instantly with the effects of the paralysis and sleep poison mixed in. The prince tried using his magic to throw Rilik of course but was struck on the horn very hard with the but of the pistol.

A shattering noise occured and Rilik smiled as he saw that the prince equines horn had been broken off by the force of the attack, the guard ponies emerged from the doorway and were shot with two tranquilizers and immediately fell prey to their effects. The prince tried bucking Rilik but had no success as he dodged it and hel the prince by the neck.

"Your gonna listen to me right now, your gonna do me some favors or your name is going to be on an obituary. Now I want transportation, and your going to change that plaque out their and all like it to say you ponies killed my friend first so what happened to you and your people is your own god damn fault. Your planet being glassed was just deserved I suppose since your a bunch of xenphobes." Rilik cursed in the prince's ear.

"Why do you do this to my people foul beast? We have not done anything to you! Your kind has cost my ponies enough pain, I don't need you and Khons terrizing my people!" The prince shouted, more guards converging on the building.

"If you don't tell your boys in armor to stay back you'll be having a shorter life than your last rulers." Rilik whispered in his ear. With that Helios eyes went wide and started to panic a little, he didn't know what was going to happen to him and what the alien had planned, he could only hope that it was just something that hurt Khons and not him and his citizens.
