I woke up in a forest, a dense one, at that. I couldn't see any civilization for miles, just trees, vines and flowers. Grabbing my Combat Shotgun from a nearby vine it was hanging in, I pumped a shell, and took count of the total.

24, Could be better. I set off in a random direction, with the density of the forest disallowing me to know what time it was, or what direction I was heading in.

I soon changed course when I heard screaming. Upon arriving at my destination, I saw no more than 12 wooden wolves surrounding three young, pastel ponies.

Attaching the Sticky Bomb mod for my shotgun, I charged into battle, immediately. Running up behind one and blowing its brains out with a single shotgun blast, I quickly whipped around and fired a Sticky Bomb into the mouth of another.

Predictably, the beast swallowed the explosive, but instead of staggering, like I had expected, it just fucking blew up. Its insides flying everywhere, the creature's blood flying onto my already bloodstained visor.

"Lambs to the slaughter. Who wants some, eh? Who's next?" I challenged, picking them off one by one.

Before I knew it, I was surrounded by wood piles, and some mangled carved wolf bodies. Pumping my shotgun single-handedly, like those guys in Hollywood did it, I looked over to the three youngsters.

"P-Please! D-Don't hurt us! We're too young to die!" The middle one begged. She had a peach colored fur and a red mane, along with a bow. I kneeled down and removed my helmet, revealing the honesty in my eyes.

"Hurt you? I would never, If I wanted to, you wouldn't be sitting here right now." I explained. "Now, where am I, what are you doing here, Where's the nearest civilization, and where can I buy myself a god damn beer?"

"W-Wait, you mean you're not going to kill us?" The orange one asked.

"Why should I?" I responded.

"Well, we trust you, we were here to gather some Zap Apples to help Apple Bloom here's grandmother grow her orchard more." The orange pony cleared things up.

"Ah, that's sweet of you. Little ones, now, take me to the nearest town." I said.

"O-Oh, You mean Ponyville?" The white furred one stated.

"If its got sentient life, I don't care." I said. "Now, let's get going, shall we?"

"W-Well, they might treat you as a monster." The peach one, Apple Bloom, told me.

"Well, I am a monster." I stated.

"W-What?" They all yelled.

I looked back at the bodies behind us. "You see now?" They nodded. "Good, now, what're your names?"

"Ah'm Apple Bloom." The peach one stated.

"Scootaloo." The orange one replied, and I realized she had wings. Strange.

"And I'm Sweetie Bell!" The white one said.

"Huh, nice names, I'll probably get y'all mixed up from time to time." I stated.

"Okay, but, say, Mr. Monster, we never got your name." Scootaloo pointed out.

"Oh! You can call me Marine."

Author's Note

Ahh, my first FimFiction story, I made a similar story to this, with the same main character, but in Wings of Fire, it's my prized story, you can find it on Wattpad, my account name is the same there as here, so go check it out if you want to see my writing style. It's not done, and it'll have sequels, but I might update that more than this. So be patient.
