Operation Retrieval

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Rilik's body ached from the previous fight, he couldn't move alot other than walking, he had checked the extent of his injuries on his suit's HUD. Several red lights showed up on the skeleton that popped up on the screen.

"Damn, several broken ribs, arm is shattered, and a punctured lung." He remembered the impaling from the midnight blue equine. He shuttered at the thought of what would had happen if it had been deeper, the wagon stopped and the door opened, daylight flooded in, they had some time ago closed a hatch letting light in, letting them sit in total darkness. He tried pulling off his assault rifle, he gripped nothing in his hand, he tried again and nothing, they must of snatched his rifle when the revived equine picked him up.

He saw a guard come into the wagon and started to bark orders rapidly, the only word he understood was "follow", he hid his hands behind his back so the guard wouldn't notice his restraints were gone. Rilik thought about revealing his knife to the guard when he slit it's throat, he decided agaisnt it as he would be surely be subdued again, possibly killed and he would lose the knife if he were to be caught. He put the knife in his boot to hide it, the guard came back to Rilik and shoved him out of the wagon, he tumbled out and rolled on the ground, only hurting his wounds more as he tried to get up again. He wobbled on his aching legs and was again shoved by the guard to follow the other prisoners, they came to a halt in front of a big beautiful castle, the prisoners were diverted left into an underground structure, Rilik was walking up to entrance of the structure when a guard shoved him back and five guards converged on his back and flanks as they shoved him forward to the castle.

He entered the castle, the architecture was grand but it didn't catch the eye of Rilik, he was only concerned of what was happening and where he was going, the guards came to a halt in front of a hallway with a lone door at the end, he was pushed down the hallway and started to approach the door, he opened it and in front of him were two stacks of hay on one side and another on the opposite side. He sat down on the side with just one stack of hay, he saw the door open and the midnight blue pony and large white one with the rainbow features, he growled when they entered, he wanted desperately to kill them for what happened to Rob, but was convinced otherwise when two guards entered the room as well.

"What are you?" The white equine said as it examined his features.

"Name and rank is all your getting beast, former Sergeant Koros." Rilik retaliated with a snarl.

The midnight blue one spoke up, "We said what are you, if anyone is a beast it is you!" It was obviously more tempramental than the other. Rilik was getting sick already of this terrible interrigation.

"Former Sergeant Koros you bastards! Thats all you're getting." Rilik growled as he remembered what happened to Rob.

"You ignorant beast! Tell us what you are or you will be executed!" The blue one was getting very angry faster than Rilik had assumed, the guards tensed up and took a few steps toward Rilik.

"Sister we must keep a level head in this." The white one said as it placed a hoof on the blue ones shoulder.

"Sister we must try more lucrative methods, I have an idea." The blue one muttered as it stepped over to Riliks sitting spot, he felt himself being lifted off the ground and thrown forcefully agaisnt the wall behind him, his body ached once more as his wounds flared back up in pain. He felt two things smash into his chest, causing his wind to get knocked out of him, he gasped for air as the two hooves smashed into his chest again. He couldn't breath, he gripped his throat trying to breath again.

"Sister that's enough! Anymore and you'll kill it, we must study it's behavior and for that it must be alive" The white one announced in a overly loud voice. Rilik was dropped from his position high on the wall, he finally was able to breath as he slumped to the ground, he curled up in a ball as he felt pain roar throughout his chest, his armor was indented where the hooves hit the chest plate.

He was dragged outside of the door and out of the castle, he saw where they were taking him, the underground building, he was thrown into the prison that all the ponies are in, there were no guards, no security, no nothing only a small hole in the ceiling give light to the prison cells, he was thrown into an empty cell, he tried sleeping but the pain from his wounds stayed and prevented that, he sat there gazing through the hole in the ceiling as daylight passed into night.

"Subject Koros MIA, assumed captured by hostiles, Subject Johnson confirmed KIA, Prototype Gladius is a scrap heap boss, next course of action with the op?" A voice said quietly as it surveyed the battlefield.

"Operation Retrieval is a go, retrieve Subject Koros." the other voice said as they dissappeared back into the night.
