"The enemy of my enemy is my friend"

It felt like I was back in Afghanistan again with all the sand and hot weather. I was so used to it I basically called it home cause that's what the Marine Corps was to me, all my brothers and and sisters in arms we were like family. My parents hated the idea of me enlisting into the military but I could understand why I was their only child, I just didn't want to sit in some dead end job as a clerk I wanted to serve my country since I was 9 years old it was the only dream I had.

I popped in another CD this time was some rap stuff, I wasn't much of a fan of it but some of the song writers I did enjoy. As I was singing along to a song an explosion went off I'm front of the humvee causing me to stop.

"SHIT AMBUSH!!" I turned around to face my marine but remembered I was alone. I crawled up to the .50 and pulled the charging handle back and scanned for any hostile. "Come on you sons of bitches" I said under my breath.

Just over a dune to my right a platoon of Griffins came flying and running towards me. I opened fire and cut them down to shreds, the shot arrows at me but I was protected but the steel frames and visor. A Griffin landed on my hood and tried to grab me but was met with a 1911 to the skull. I continued to fire until none were left even twitching before checking the bodies.

I aimed my rifle at them as I kicked their corpses, one of them had a bag around his waist so I grabbed it and searched it. Inside was a bag of bits and a few small black bombs along with an envelope. I grabbed it and opened it up, the seal was of a griffin with a sword and a crown so it must be important.

"Dear Lieutenant Razor Crest, we have reports of a strange creature with the ability to take on the Equestrians I request you bring it to me for inspection. Be warned that this creature has weapons that can kill anything in an instant, Emperor Grey Blade"

I stared at the paper for a few more seconds before looking at he body. "Man fuck you and fuck your emperor I'll kill you all...fucking cunts" I mumbled the last part. I was about to hop back in the humvee till someone decided to groan to my 12, I looked up and saw a griffin trying to get up.

"Oh well look at what we have here I thought I killed you"

"Please I can pay you" he pleaded.

"I don't want your money, you made a big mistake thinking you can attack a Marine get away with it;" I pulled out my pistol and aimed it between his eyes. I pulled the trigger and killed him, I checked each body to make sure they were dead them hopped back into my humvee and continued driving.

Location: Forbidden Jungle
Time:1800

The jungle was like Vietnam with all the hot and humid air and the idea of something hiding in the trees. The trees darkened the area so I had to use my humvee lights to see. I took off my helmet due to how fucking hot it was and poured some water on my head and down my shirt, the AC worked but wasn't as helpful I knes the giant temple was near by since you could see it from the dessert. I drove through some giant leaves and the pyramid temple was right there, I stopped at the steps and turned of the humvee. I got out and went around back to get the HK I wanted more fire power and this had thhe right amount for me.

I scanned the area and it was very quiet for a jungle which put me on edge. I made my up the steps towarss the stone doorway at the top and saw it was pitch black in there, I pulled down my nods and walked inside with the hopes of finding something to help me.

Celestia paced back and forth thinking of what to do now that the human escaped again. She was so close to finally getting to him but failed due to her lack skills compared to the human.

"Sister I don't think he will see reason after we blatantly lied to him and invaded his mind forcing him to relive horrible events" Luna pointed out and she was right they had made a bad impression on the human.

Celestia sighed and nodded. "I know Luna I just wish there was a way to convice him to come to us. I just wish we had more time to talk with him"

Apple Jack raised her hoof as she still had no idea who they were talking about. "Uh princess ah still dont know who y'all are talkin about, who is this creature yer lookin for?"

"Oh yes my apologies miss Apple Jack I have forgotten about that," Celestia shook her head at her forgetful thinking."This creature is called a human, they don't have fur nor look like ponies instead they wear clothes and even eat meat this particular human is a soldier from a broken war torn world. He has seen many tragedies and has killed other humans during his time"she explained. The others shivered at that thought.

"Man we almost caught him too but he just dissapeard once I grabbed him!" Rainbow Dash pouted. Celestia knew of that event and figured somepony used a clone spell as a trick and that means a pony helped him.

"Why is it so hard to find a creature wearing alot of tan clothes and a helmet with black sticks that shoot fire?!" Twilight whined puting her head down.

Apple Jack chuckled looking embarrassed. "Ah uh...met a feller earlier who looked kinda like that but seemed nice, me and Mac were walking back from Appleloosa after our sale and found him laying on a giant boulder just enjoying the hot weather"

Celestia grabbed her shoulders "WHERE DID HE GO?!"

"I think he w-went s-south your highness" he stuttered scared of the princesses power.

Celestia stood uo strait and made her way to the doors. "I shall lead an entire company of guards to search for him and Twilight I want you and the elements to find the pony that helped him escape amd see what they know"

"You think somepony helped him?" She asked looking at her friends.

Celestia turned her head to face her student. "Humans don't have magic they dont need nor do they care for it" then walked out.

Twilight perked up at that. " How can humans live without magic?"

Celestia shook her head. "I do not know Twilight but they have made it far without it"

Twilight thought for a moment of who could have possibly helped the human, it had to be a unicorn with human experience to be able to clone the human almost perfectly. There was only one pony she could think of and it was Lyra.

She stood up and trotted to the doors. "Come on girls we have to go pay Lyra a visit"

Location:Lyras house
Time:1920

Twilight knocked on Lyras door and after a few seconds she answered and was surprised to see her.

"Oh hey Twilight how's it going?" She greeted with a smile.

Twilight returned the smile but only half heartedly. "I'm doing swell I just came by to ask you a few questions, may we come in?"

Lyra moved out of the way and let the main 7 in. Lyra knew what was about to go down but acted as though nothing was wrong.

"So how's your human hunt going Twilight? I'm telling ya humans don't exist here but maybe in another universe" She cocked.

Twilight raised an eyebrow but shrug it off. "No I have been thinking and a few nights ago I noticed something strange. After Celestia said humans don't have magic I started to piece things together and a unicorn was the pony who helped him run away;" She looked at Lyra with a conceding frown. "The unicorn would've had to be around the human for a while to be able to make a clone spell of him and you haven't been out of your house much so I was wondering"

Lyra swallowed hard ready to break for the stairs and warn Allan. All eyes were kn her now making her nervous to the core. She stepped back and Twilight stood up, Lyra knew she was in trouble and so was Allan she had to tell him.

"W-Well I have been working on my project gift for bonbon for a w-while and so I stayed I side for the most part" She knew Twilight could see thekigh the lie she spewed so she made a break for the stairs with the others going after her.

Lyra slammed her door and used her magic to block off the others from coming in even with spells. She picked up the walkie and pressed the button to talk to Allan.

"Allan its me Lyra they know about us I reapeat they know about us!" She cried into the black box.

"....can't...run....pyramid..." Is all she could hear. She knew he was already at the temple so it must have messed up the reception.

After a minute of hitting the door her spell gave way and they were inside now. She hid the walkie behind her as she backed up to her window. Twilight stepped forward looking rather upset, not mad mkre like disappointed.

"Lyra we just need to know where he went so we can help him, he's not well"

"I know what your plans are for him Twilight you all just want to use him for war cause you think that's all he knows " Lyra stomped her hoof on the floor. " well your wrong he's a kind and caring individual, even if he's broken that doesn't stop him from doing what's right"

Rainbow Dash scoffed at that. "If he's so kind why did he attack me and Twilight the first time we saw him?"

"Well if you just tried to talk to him instead of hunting him down like a monster maybe he would have been nicer to you!" Lyra shouted. She was angry that they are just lying about wanting to help him.

"Lyra please we need him to help us with the Griffin empire or else Equestria could be gone forever" Twilight stated.

"Why should he help? He never got a choice to come here and is now being hunted like an animal" She countered.

Twilight was about to rebuttal that but then thought about it. They have treated him as an animal out of it's cage and he was only trying to defend himself even if it meant to go to extreme measures. She was so focused on wanting to see how the human worked she didn't take into account that it was just like them.

Then Flutter Shy stepped in. "He's scared and confused so we must show him that we mean him no harm" the others nodded in agreement.

"But the princess is looking for him with a big search party and I don't think the human will take to kindly to that don't you think?" Rarity wondered.

With the human not liking ponies it could lead to a massacre and its a high chance the human will come out on top. After everyone settled down they went back down stairs to discuss more of the situation. Lyra didnt know if they were to be trusted or not but she didn't have much of a choice now. She took the map down stairs with her and sat in a chair.

"So how do find this Human if he is in the middle of the dessert that place is huge and there's only eight of us?" Starlight asked.

She laid out the map and leaned over the table."If you really are wanting to help him then we must get to him before the princess does" she pointed to the Frobbiden Jungle. "He went to the pyramid to find a relic of some kind that he belives can get him home, I know nothing about it so I dont know what he will find"

"Well the human-" before Twilight could finish Lyra cut her off.

"His name is Allan..." She said irritated at them calling him just 'the human'.

"Sorry" She sheepishly smiled. "Celestia is desperate to get to Allan and she's going to drastic measures in order to save Equestria, but if we can get to him first we could probably convince him not to slaughter all of Equestria" She nervously laughed at the end. The others were on board with it but Lyra wondered if Allan would forgive her for this.

(Allans POV)

Location: Pyramid steps
Time:0700

I sat on the steps with mg head on my knees. The whole place was empty with not even a coffin in there, I basically wasted my time in there for hours on end.

I looked up to the sky and groaned. "Come on man help me out here we were doing so good" My luck wasn't so lucky this time.

It was dark out and the cool air swept in keeping me nice and cool. I decided to rest for tonight in the back of the humvee and would move out at 0600. I climbed into the back and made sure the hatch was locked before hitting the rack. Sleep took over as soon as I laid down and I faded into the darkness.

"SIR WE'RE BEING SURROUNDED!!" A voice screamed. My eyes shot open and infront kf me was a pony wearing a marpat uniform with his gear.

I didnt understand what was going on"What?"

"The Equestrians are closing in sir we wont last much longer" He pulled me up and went over to the ruined wall. "We only have 7 guys left and low on ammo, evacuation wont be able to get to us in time"

I looked down and my HK was laying there I picked it up and stood by the wall where 5 other ponies looked like hammered shit. The sounds of a voice calling out to us could be heard from our West.

"Human and human sympathizers you are trapped here, give up now and maybe we'll spare you"

"Fuck You!" One off the ponies shouted back. I was surprised that they even knew curse words.

The sounds of roaring ponies all around us were getting closer. I peeked over and golden armored ponies charging through the battle field towards us. I raised my LMG and opened fire onto the golden horde. The other ponies did the same go in to other parts of the ruined building and firing upon the enemy. Bullets penetrated their armor and it was usuless to keep going for them.

"Victory or death!" I shouted to them. Yellow beams shot past my head, I could feel the heat from them burn across my face.

One of the pony marines was blasted into pieces faith blood going everywhere. I reloaded my gun and took up a new position in the door way that was blocked partially by debris. I opened fire on a Pegasus and my bullets just ripped him apart, an explosion went off behind me and we lost 2 more guys now there were 4 of us left. We backed into a small defensive circle and waited for them to come inside.

"Well sir this is it" one of the ponies chuckled.

I nodded and readied for them to push inside. The horde of ponies were gunned down left and right not gaining any ground on us. Yellow beams flew past us and took out another pony marine. I backed up and now it was just me and one other pony just fighting to our last bullet. We ran out of ammo so we used our knifes, once they broke we used our fists amd hoofs. I used my helmet as a club to beat their heads in. I felt a beam of hot energy hit me back sending me forward into the mud, I pulled myself up and turned around to see the last pony marine getting impaled.

My hand was on a shovel so I picked it up and dug it into the ponies back then trudged towards the others. Blood and mud covered my face making me look like a monster to them. I whacked the next pony in the face breaking his neck, the others charged at me with their swords. The closest pony tried to stab me with his spear but I caught it in my hand blood flowing down my hand. I swung the shovel into his frint leg then decapitated him. I was lifted by their magic but I threw the shovel at the unicorn and it landed in his eye, I was dropped onto the ground hard I felt my ribs crack.

I rolled on to my back and looked around to find another weapon. There were only rocks near me so I reached over and grabbed the biggest one I could get. I stood up but was tackled by a pony, we struggled for a bit before I rolled on top and started bashing his face with the rock. I screamed out of rage as I hit him harder and harder, the ponies face was no longer recognizable and that satisfied me.

My body ached and my head screamed for me to lay over and die but I refuse to give in to these ponies. I weakly stood up and limped over to a dead pony and grabbed his sword, I gave it a few swings before crawling over the wall and stood in front of the army of Equestrian ponies. I could see the fear in their eyes as they didn't expect an angry Marine.

The ponies stepped to the side as to make way for the white pony from the Crystal Empire. She stepped towards me slowly.

"I wont be your puppet witch!" I shouted.

She smirked."Then I shall take you myself" Just then she flew towards me with great speed. I thrusted the blade at her but my vision went white as something hit the humvee startling me awake.

"Fuck...Fuck...Goddamnit" I was sweating from the nightmare. It got worse when something tapped on the glass windows.

"Allan? Allan its me Lyra!"

"Lyra?" I whispered. I grabbed my pistol and popped open the back end ready to waste a mother fucker.

As it opened I was face to dace with Lyra who looked happy to see me. I was tired as shit so I couldnt say the same, I fell out kf the trunk and lazily stood up.

"What the hell are you doing here?" I asked. I looked past her and saw the 7 ponies behind her. I grabbed Lura and put her behind me and aimed my pistol at them. "What the hell are you all doing here!?"

The yellow pony hid behind the pink one who just had a big ass fucking smile on her face. Skittles looked ready for a fight do I know who to take out first. Just then Twinkie raised a hoof shaking her head.

Lyra grabbed my arm. "No Allan they aren't gonna hurt you they just want to talk!" I looked at her and she seemed to be telling the truth. I reluctantly lowered my weapon but didn't holster it in case the wanted an early meeting with God.

"Try and fuck up then I will kill each of you" I threatend. "What the hell do you want?"

They all looked to Twinkie who sighed and stepped up. I watched her every movement and if her horn hit up I'd break it amd gut her with it.

"The Griffin Empire has being getting restless with us and have attacked a small town North west of Starlights old village" She explained.

"So we have a common enemy;" I leaned back against the humvee humming. "As the old saying goes 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend' but that refers to Lyra not you" I nodded to Lyra.

The 7 ponies sat around in a small circle I guess to do some pass and ask shit. I rolled my eyes and hopped onto the humvee to have the high ground over them.

"So I have a question who the fuck is that white pony bitch I saw at the Crystal Empire?" I asked Lyra.

"That would be princess Celestia she is princess Lunas and the one aho is hunting you down with a big search party" Lyra confirmed. I furrowed my eyes but didn't say anything.

"She really means well but in times like these I guess it can make even the kindess ponies a little on edge" Twinkie nervously laughed. I shot her a glare and she went silent then Skittles spoke up.

"I don't see why we are even talking to you You killed other-" before she could finish I pointed my pistol at her and stood up.

"You don't even know the worst I've done to protect my country so I suggest you shut the fuck up before I turn your ass into grass"

The yellow Pegasus went in between us to stop me from killing Skittles. "Please guys don't fight we just need to find some common ground," She looked up at me with a smile. "My name's Flutter Shy and I'm sorry about what you had to go through to protect your home" she was the nicest so far but I didn't give a fuck.

"Don't be, I signed up for it and I knew what I was gonna do" I sat back down but glared at Skittles. "Now what the fuck do you want from me and if it's my guns I will kill you"

Before any of them could speak the white pony Celestia accompanied by over a hundred guards behind her.

"Found you"
