A Devil Dog and a breaking mind

"You can't hold the information inside you forever human!" The interrogator yelled before kicking me in the stomach and cracking a rib. I spat some blood out on him and smiled.

"Suck a dick pussy boy my grandma can beat me better than you" The pony used his horn to taze me, I clenched my teeth trying to hold in the pained screams.

"You can make this stop if you tell us where your friend is hiding and how these weapons work" He grabbed my bloodied head and slammed it on the table.

"You know my sister could probably rake all of you on and she's in the airforce" I chuckled.

"TELL US WHERE SHE IS OR I WILL BREAK EVERY BONE IN YOUR BODY!!" The pony screamed in my face.

"Eat shit and die" Is all I said. The pony then grabbed my knife from the table and approached me with it drawn. I steeled myself to embrace the coming pain and with in a few seconds my left eye was stabbed. I cried out and the pony stabbed me in the left thigh, I would die in this place and I was ready for it.

"Your pretty blue eyes would look good in a jar" the pony slurred. The door opened and a white pony with wings and a horn came in, I looked up at her and smiled sinisterly.

"Captain if you would leave me alone with the prisoner I think I know how to get information" she spoke in a voice of a kind mother that I hated. The pony saluted then left closing the door, the white pony stood infront of me and leaned closer. I backed up in the chair but it was no use her horn touched my head making everything go black.

"MARINE WAKE UP!!" Lyra shook me out of my sleep.

"What happened?" I looked around and we were in the makeshift tent.

"You were crying in your sleep and looked like you were in pain are you okay?" She had a look of worry in her eyes.

"I'm fine just had a bad dream is all" In all honesty is was a fucking nightmare, I've never had that bad of a dream before.

"Do you wanna talk about it?" She put a hoof on my arm, I just rolled back over and laid back down.

"No it's fine just go back to sleep Lyra" I closed my eyes and tried to sleep it off. We needed to find Master Sergeant and get to the Crystal Empire soon.

(Later)

The ice and snow crushed under my boots as I stomped through the snowy wasteland that lead to the Empire. My face was warm thanks to my mask and my goggles, my nods were still up and running which suprised me. We were a few miles away from the Empire but I still couldn't get a hold of my instructor.

"Master Sergeant this is Spear-1 do you copy?" I tried to reach him for the fifth time now but no answer. "Damnit he's probably burned"

"What do you mean burned?" Lyra asked.

"He was either caught or went radio silent and doesn't know we're coming my best bet is he got caught" I really hope it was the latter of the two it would be difficult trying to fight off an entire army by myself.

"You said your friend is the one who taught you how to fight and stuff maybe he's trying to avoid all contact in case others are looking for him as well" she pointed out. My instructor was like a second father figure to me since I was 10 all the way up to me becoming a raider he pushed me to do my best and I am not gonna let him down now.

We trudged through the snow and I could see a large spire that glowed like a beacon in the distance. I was about to notify Lyra of our close arrival but out of butt fuck nowhere a snow storm made its way over to us.

"What the fuck kinda shit is this?!" I shouted to the sky. The snow was so dense it darkened the area around us.

"We need to stick close and keep going!" Lyra shouted. I pulled her closer and used my nods to see through the dense dark snow. There was no scientific way for a storm like this unless we were in Oklahoma and even their weather was decent but random.

I could hardly see the spire ahead of us but hopefully it's closer, the storm is getting worse now and I'm starting to go numb. I pulled a flare out of my pack and ignited it to try and warm us up,I held it near Lyra so she could stay warm. My boots are freezing over thanks to them being steel toe, I should have worn an extra lair of socks.

"There's the portal!" Lyra pointed to the blue light that came into view. I picked her up and sprinted to the blue light crashing through it. The snow was gone and was replaced with grass and weird ass rocks.

I looked around and saw the spire surrounded by little rock houses and glowing ponies. I thought that was the weirdest part but then I looked at my hand and that bitch was glowing too. I looked to Lyra and even she was glowing holy shit, I thought I was on drugs but nope it's all real.

"Talk about shinning bright like a diamond" I muttered thinking about thats stupid song. I pulled out my binoculars and surveyed the city, the ponies were going about their day and the guards seemed busy, very busy. "There way too much activity here"

"The next Equestria games are coming so that could be it" Lyra thought but the guards were moving troops left and right as though their expecting someone.

"We need to hurry co-" Before I could finish the two rocks next to us bursted into two guards who were waiting for us. I shot the first guy and kicked the second one in the jaw knocking him out.

I looked back and a whole fucking platoon was coming our way. We couldn't survive the storm outside so we'd have to fight our way through

"What do we do?!" Lyra coward behind me. I grabbed Lyra and started running to a house.

"I'm getting you to the train and back to Ponyville, I need to find Master Sergeant and then I'll come back" I said getting a running start

"What if it was all a trick to get you here?" She asked and that idea was plausible but if he is here them I need to get him out.

"I can't risk leaving him here, don't worry I'll be fine just make sure you get to safety" I promised her. We ran past Crystal ponies who didn't pay us much mind until they say the guards on our asses.

It was just our luck a train was heading out of here, I went into maximum overdrive and booked it to the train. Once I was close enough I threw Lyra onto it and stopped, she looked back at me with worry but it was to late now I made my choice and I was gonna stick with it. I ran back to the giant spire in the middle of the city and took the stairs inside and up. I entered through some doors and ended up in a throne room where a white and pink pony sat, the pink one was holding what I think is a child.

"Shit..." I said under my breath. Guards entered the scene and blocked my only exit.

"Your the creature princess Celestia spoke of, you have caused some controversy over in Equestria. What's your name?" The white pony asked. My mind was going haywire with half saying go down fighting while the other said to chill the fuck out.

"Marine...A-Allan..." I cursed myself for giving away my name. I tried to keep a visual of both sides Incase someone tried something.

"Alright Mr.Allan my name is Shining Armor, from what I was told by my sister you are a soldier. You are troubled and confused I understand how it feels to have those thoughts" I knew what he was talking about it was the nightmares I have every night and the paranoia of others wanting to kill me.

"I won't let you experiment on me!" I stated backing up. My heart was threating to burst out of my chest.

Marine stand down! I could hear my old instructor yell inside my head. I lowered my my rifle and let it hang on the sling.

"We aren't going to hurt you we can help you but I need you to hand over your weapons for everyponies safety okay?" Two of his guards slowly moved closer to me. My training told me to listen but my mind screamed to fight.

After reaching a decision I reached up and unclipped my rifle and took out the magazine then unchambered the bullet. I laid it down then did the same for my pistol, the guards picked up my guns and put them in a box then took them down a hallway.

"Can we get you something to eat or drink?" Shining Armor offered. I wanted to eat something that's not an MRE but I don't want to be drugged by chance, but I dont have much of a chkuce now that they hands my guns.

"Do you make meat?" I asked keeping an eye on the guards.

"We did for when the Griffin ambassador came by I'm sure we can get something ready follow me" he lead me through a set of doors and into a room with a long table. I sat down at the farthest end while Shining Armor sat on the other side of me.

An hour of silence goes by and a server pony came in with a plate of steak. My mouth was drooling as he placed it in front of me, I took the fork and took a piece and hesitated to eat it for fear of it being a trap. I looked at Shining Armor who just sat there with a plain look. I took a deep breath before eating it.

"Can I ask you something questions?" I looked up at him and shrugged. I haven't passed out from the food so I guess I could talk with him atleast.

"Like what?" I say eating another piece.

"Why did you attack my sister and her friends?" I snorted at that question as I attacked alot of people while I was here.

"Who is your sister?" I tilted my head thinking.

"Her name is Twilight Sparkle she's the princess of friendship" I rolled my eyes remembering that chick. I swear she's fucking crazy.

"Oh yeah her, she's the nut job who said something about experimenting on me so I said fuck no" I said simply. I stopped eating and just stared at the plate. The sounds gunfire filled my ears and the screams of my marines shooting back at the Taliban was all I could hear.

"ALLAN!!" Shining Armor shouted waving his hoof around trying to get my attention. All the sounds just stopped instantly, I looked up at Shining Armor who looked worried. "Thought I lost you there, I've seen that look in your eyes from many ponies. The thousand yard stare is known by most slodiers usually from combat, you must have been through Tarturis before you got here" He said looking me up and down. I didn't know what this Tarturis was but I guess it's their version of hell and he's right about me going through it.

"It was a long time ago back in '04, I was in the second battle of Fallujah I with the 1st Battalion 5th Marines, I was just nineteen when I went there it was fucking hell;" I began. I dont know why I was talking about it I guess since Shining Armor being a soldier its the best I got instead of those shrinks. "We had to fight off the Iraqi insurgents before they could take the city again, we fought for months and even on my Corps birthday so instead of partaking in parties we did what every marine dreams of, we kicked ass and took names"

"You said it was a long time ago and you were nineteen,how old are you now?" He skunded rather surprised that a nineteen year old fought they must have a age restriction larger here.

"I'm thirty four as of now so I've been in the service for sixteen years now" I leaned back and thought of the fond memories of when we would call in a A-10 and watch the sand fuckers turn into pink mist.

"Sixteen years of fighting must've had a toll on you. Have you considered retirement at all?" Shining Armor was amazed at how I just kept fighting for so long and I'm not surprised we marines are pretty cool.

"I have and it would only happen if I was disabled or dead, If I was disabled I would open a donut shop for veterans and host Sunday service" I had it all planned out in the end. I didn't plan on marriage cause that leads tho kids and I'm not one for kids.

"That sounds nice for somepony who's been fighting so long" He smiled at me. I felt a smile creep onto my face too, I didn't think these ponies here would take my actions to kindly but Shining Armor here hasn't done anything to warrant my wrath so I guess he's cool.

"Sorry about shooting two of your guys earlier they surprised me and my reactkon was to give them lead" I say with not much emotion.

"Don't worry they were protected by a spell I casted incase of an event like this or if we ever need to go to war, they are probably back on their hooves right now" Shining Armor waved it off.

"Huh..okay" I say in surprise.

I finished my food and Shining Armor offered to help me find My Master Sergeant. I explained how he might be here or out in the snow fields and Shining Armor promised to help find him. I felt a slight respect for the pony for that, after all I've killed a few of them but that was for defensive measures. I remembered Lyra and how I chucked her info the train, I know she had her own radio so I decided to contact her.

"Lyra do you copy?"

"Oh my Celestia Marine are you okay I haven't heard from you in hours?!" She yelled into the radio. I rubbed my ears out of pain.

"My names not actually Marine it's...Allan" I said quietly. Lyra was silent for a moment then replied.

"Ooh you did the secret identity move that's pretty smart but anyways are you okay" She took it better than I thought so there's a plus.

"I'm fine I just talked with that Shining Armor guy and he's actually offering to help find my friend unlike Equestria they aren't trying to use me for experiments" I scoffed the last part. I really didn't want to go back to Equestria until I can find a way home.

"So they aren't going to arrest you for you know...shooting a few guards while you were there?" I could tell she wasn't to happy about me doing that but it's all good.

"No turns out they had some shield magic stuff that saved them so I'm in the clear but they have my guns right now I'll try to get them back soon, Allan out" I put my walkie back into my pouch and sent back to Shinning Armors throne room.

I was about to open the doors when I heard a conversation go on from the other side. It sounded like Shining Armor was talking to someone.

"He actually believed that transm was his friend and has trusted us fdom what I could tell" I took that last part as an insult. I wasn't losing it I'm just very cautious about things.

"If we have to we can use magic on him then he could possibly save Equestria from its impending destruction without issue. We were lucky to use a fake transmission of one of his comrades to get him here" A females voice said. I peeked throught the crack of the door and spotted a white tall pony with wings and a horn, She had a Sun on her ass and flowing hair even though theres no wind. I stepped back and started thinking of a plan.

"Lyra was fucking right good God why didn't I listen!" I said to myself. I heard hoof steps get closer to the door so I made a dash down the hall and slammed into a pair of guards. I didn't stop and kept running, I remembered them taking my weapons through here so they must be close.

I stopped at a door that looked like it belonged to Shinning Armor. I went inside amd I was right this was his room and I spotted the box next to his bed. I went over to it and noticed it had a pad lock on it, I grabbed the certain poles and started slamming it on the lock. After my fifth attempt it broke finally, I opened it and pull out my rifle and pistol.

"Oh babies I'm so sorry daddy will never let you go again I promise" I said to the inanimate objects. I popped in a mag and felt the sensation of loading it in the chamber. I stood up and was about to walk out when I spotted somthing from the dark corner of the room.

A pair of blue eyes looked at me with fear, I raised my rifle at it just to be safe.

"Don't do anything stupid now step out of the shadow" I ordered. The eyes moved into the dim light and showed the pink pony from earlier holding her child. They must have came in here to rest or something and noticed me.

"Please I don't mean any harm I was changing my child when you walked in" she defended. I eyed her for weapons but she had none so she wasn't a threat.

"Alright look I already know y'alls little game but since I have some morals I'll leave you alone but if you say a single fucking word I will come back" I opened the door and left the room. I stepped into the hallway and froze as Shining Armor and the white pony stood at the other end of the hallway.

"I see he's got his weapons back" the white one commented.

"I thought he trusted us enough to leave them" he whispered back. I looked back and down the hallway was a window that hopefully wasn't to high up. I used one hand to reach for the rope tied to my pack and clipped it to my scaling line.

They moved forward and I darted to the window pushing a maid out of my way. I heard them calling to me but ignored them as I was closing in on my exit. I jabbed the steak into the Crystal hinge and jumped, I grabbed the rope as I landed on the wall. I rapled down as fast as I could but then I ran out of rope.

"Oh jeez thanks uncle Sam for not giving me a longer rope" I muttered. I looked down and I was about 20 feet above the ground, I could see a cart with apples in it across the street if I could just get enough momentum I could landed in it to break my fall.

I started pushing myself awayfrom ther wall to get farther and farther then heard Shining Armor above me.

"Allan we just want to talk!" He yelled down.

"Talk to my lead bitch!" I fired off a round near his head making him duck. I jumped one more time before unclipping my rope and fell into the cart. My pack took most of the force but Goddamn did that hurt.

I fell out of the cart and started running down the streets too find the train station. I grabbed my walkie and pressed the button to talk to Lyra.

"Lyra this Allan you were right it was a trick Goddamnit I'm heading to the train station to try and get the fuck out of here how copy" I could hear the sounds of armored ponies behind me so I fired a few rounds at them. "Eat bullets motherfuckers!" I hit three of them causing them to collapse. Just then Lyra answered the call.

"Be careful when you come back those guards you killed weren't actually Equestrian they were bandits from a gang outsode of town ponies here still want you arrested for assaulting one of the elements though" she said not sounding surprised.

"Well that's reassuring I'll be back ETA 30 mikes Allan out" I hopped over a wooden fence and was now in the train yard. I looked around and spotted a conductor about to leave.

"Next stop Ponyville then Canterlot!" He announced. I ran to the caboose and hopped onto it as It was departing. I opened the door and it was just an empty cart for storage, I saw the guards arrive but they didn't see me. I sat against the wall and laughed at my luck that seemed to be doing wonders today. I sat there and waited for the next stop with hopes of finding a way home soon.
