Location: UNIDENTIFIED FOREST

Objective: FIND BREAKFAST/EVALUATE CREATURE'S HOSTILITY AND THREAT LEVEL

Sam snapped awake as he heard something in bushes behind him, and he immediately sprung up from his spot on the soft ground, into a crouching position, with his handgun aiming toward the bush. His finger was twitching slightly, and his breathing became short and rapid. His heart rate increased significantly, and he did not know what sort of horror may be lurking in the forests with him.

"Show yourself, coward!" He shouted at the bush, his hand tensing on the gun just in case.

The bush rustled some more, and it was giving off quite the racket. He started going through a mental checklist of all of the things he had seen so far in this strange land, and so far he was getting quite a number of non-existent beings. Then, a small white bunny came out into the clearing, and the Sam's pistol lowered. "Aw, its just a cute wittowe bunny wabbit!" Sam puffed up his cheeks, and made several strange noises. Then, the little bastard threw a rock right at him, and it managed to knock him on his ass. Sam was shocked to see the little bugger toss the thing, and even more so when it began making slitting motions across his neck. He lunged toward the bunny, but it did a flip backwards and hopped away.

"Come here you Monty Python abomination! I'm going to eat you! GET IN MAH BELLAYH!" He yelled, and chased the creature down the rabbit hole. He darted in between the oaken trees and his boots crunched the dead leaves beneath him. He unsheathed his knife and his AK-12 once more dangled freely off his back, but the chase went on.

He could see he was catching up to the little fucker, and he had his knife at the ready. In his head, he was trying to recall the recipe for rabbit stew, and he was going to fucking enjoy peeling the flesh off of the aggressive bugger's little bones.

"STOP!!!" A voice rang out, one that drowned all previous thoughts he had carried with him.

From the trees, a pale yellow pegasus emerged, and her eyes glared at him with an icy intent. The world around him seemed to crumble, and he was dropped into a world of black. His knife fell from his hand, and his AK-12 slid from his shoulder.

Her glare intensified, and he did not notice the little bugger take shelter behind her. Instead, he was countering what seemed to be an all out war on his mental defenses. Endless anti-interrogation training was being decimated by this frail, young creature. He was losing, and he could feel his hands shaking in terror. This being possessed the power to render him useless, a feeling he did not quite enjoy. His facade of a merciless killer, one that he had brought up in combat, the one that would scar and terrify anyone who came in his vision, was brought down. He was rooted to the spot. He could not even blink. Sweat poured down his face, and he could sense that there were others around too, however, he could not remove his eyes from the teal hell that resided within her own.

"How dare you!"

Finally, when all seemed lost, he remembered what hurt would come to him if he failed the tests, if he failed the examinations. The beatings, the water-boarding, all of it. He would not fail. He had come too far to fall now, and he would not let himself be captured, at all costs. Unless he had anything to protect himself with, at least. He managed to bring his hands to his head, and he tugged and pulled on his hair. His heart was beating a thousand times per minute, and he was winded, just by staring her dead in the eye.

"How dare you!"

She began to walk forward.

"Get the fuck out of my head!" He screamed at her.

Her gaze faltered, and she seemed hurt, but it was too late to take that into account, as he could now see what other beings were converging on him. A lasso had been tossed, but Sam managed to grab it at the last moment, narrowly missing his arm. However, a purple aura came toward him, seemingly trying to ensnare him. However, it passed through him, and gave him goose-bumps everywhere. Yes, everywhere.

He didn't even go back for his equipment, and ran.

Into a large unit of golden clad pegasus... pegasuses... pegasus ponies... FUCK IT. PEGASUS HORSIES. He took into account that they didn't seem to be quite pleased, probably once they had been told to do something so simple as to capture some monkey in the Everfree forest. He hurled a rock toward them, and the boredom vanished in the blink of an eye. Then, he watched as the Mane Six charged from behind, and expertly awaited the two rushing groups to close in. He slid underneath the purple one, and the speed of the scene was so fast that he didn't see neither the yellow pegasus, nor the blue one.

He rolled from up from his move, and didn't bother looking back, the noise of pained screams and crashing was enough evidence that his plan had worked. He hadn't counted on Rainbow Dash attacking him, and he was suddenly face down in the dirt.

"Mphukk!" Came his reaction.

Date: 1ST DAY SINCE ARRIVAL

Time: 22:35 HOURS

Location: UNDISCLOSED CELL AREA

Objective: ESCAPE, LOCATE EQUIPMENT, FIND PSYCHOLOGIST

"W-wow... your... your dad must be so proud... so proud... that his son kicks like a woman... er... mare." Sam wheezed to Shining Armor, who kicked him in the stomach.

This had gone on for hours, and neither of them stopped, Sam with his comebacks, and Shining with his strikes. After the initial insults and degrading, Shining learned to ignore what Sam said, and was now impulsively kicking him after every sentence.

"Captain, I request an audience with the prisoner." Came a regal voice from the other side of the rusty metal door. The grey, dirty brick around him only served to make this room even shitty looking than it already was. The Captain walked over to the door, and undid the metal bolt, holding it shut.

"Yes Princess."

There was a distinct trotting from the other end, and after a few shushed words, she came in. She was taller than most of the ponies, almost to his height, however, himself being chained in a kneeling position did not help to raise that notion. Upon her hooves, there were golden horse shoes, and her regalia made Sam want to sing 'I Love You' from Barney. It also brought up several memories of the Teletubbies, and one or two of The Wiggles. Her mane was blowing in non-existent wind, and it also seemed to be a supporter of the LGBT Pride Parade. And the same could be said for the multicolored pegasus that was so very fond of physical contact with him. She had wings, and a horn, and somehow Sam found this hard to comprehend, seeing as the many hits he had taken may have left him in minor concussion.

"I want to be alone, if you'd be so kind."

Shining Armor took that as the que to leave, and that left him alone with this 'Princess'.

"Police brutality much? Also, why are you holding me here? Have I done something wrong?" Sam asked.

"'Interrogation', I believe it is called. This concept is relatively new in our modern day Guard, but if it earns results, then I think something is being done right. As for your detainment from the forest, I sensed a large surge of dark magic, and then I was warned by my close protege that a strange creature was found near Ponyville. I do not know if you are as dark as the magic that was used to bring you here."

"Well here's a tip."

"Hm?" She asked.

"Think, because not only did you just disclose your position, 'princess', but you revealed that he was the Captain of your 'Guard'. It seems I am getting more information from you than you are from me. As much as I enjoy these physical therapy lessons, I must make haste. I do not see myself in here much longer, and you should probably double the amount of active guardsmen around this cell. Also, tell the people that named that town to have more original names in the future."

'Princess' let out a short laugh, and began. Sam let a grin play on his face.

"Oh, I highly doubt you will be out of here any time soon, and perhaps it would be best if I let the Captain unleash his full might on you. He didn't make it to Captain for no reaso-"

"Seventy two." Sam said, the cheesy grin on his face fell, and was replaced by one he had worn several times before.

"Excuse me? Is that your name? Well allow me to introduce myself, I am Princess Celestia, and I-"

"No, that is the number of confirmed kills I currently hold. I am sure I have killed seventy two people, and I predict that the true number of lives I have taken is much higher. Has your Captain driven a knife into another creatures throat? One that thinks, breaths, aspires, imagines? Theorizes? Calculates? Has your Captain, willingly taken the life of another, at his own discretion? Actually, you should lower the amount of guards around here, because when I get out, and I WILL get out, I do not want more dead to be on my conscious, Celestia."

Princess Celestia pulled back, horrified by this new revelation. The look in his eyes said it was true, and that alone made shivers crawl up her spine. She ungracefully left the room, the Guard Captain surprised to see her normally neutral expression broken by this strange being. He looked in the room and saw Sam giving him a unnatural look, then the sound of chains being ripped from the floor resounded in the room.

Sam leapt up from his spot and falcon punched Shining into the realm of 'KNOCKED DA FUG OUT!' and sprinted out of the room, coming upon a dimly lit fork in the path. He took the left, and the orange light from the torches on the walls burned and casted his shadow onto a window nearby, unknowingly alerting the guards within that room. The door nearby was kicked open, knocking Sam back. His head was still spinning from the interrogation, but he needed to get his bearings. He ran away, back toward where he made the left and chose to go right, guards following him in close pursuit. He came upon a different looking door; instead of the familiar rusty bolts implanted on this one, this had several swirls and writing engraved into it. He open the door, and there in the center of the room, rested a large marble looking cube. He heard a woman's voice in the back of his head.

The moment he looked at it, he felt a flash of white behind his eyes, but he dismissed it. He saw light pouring down onto it from the ceiling, and there was a glass sheet laid out there. He ran back out into the hall, and found a conveniently placed "Janitor's Closet" across the hallway. He took the 'extendable' ladder, which didn't seem to have any extendable qualities. The damn thing was made of wood. He set it against the black cube, and got to the top of it, before propping his ladder up once more to try and reach the window above. Sadly, he was off by a meter or two.

"How the hell are you 'extendable'? You're made of wood!" He growled at it, but then before him, it extended.

He gazed at it in awe for a moment, but the sound of a door being thrown open violently behind him shook him of his thoughts. He gazed back up at the glass, and began to climb the miracle ladder.

"Guards! Stop him!" The Captain said, holding his bruised eye with a hoof.

He kept climbing, and a word was tugging at the end of his brain, but he could not figure it out. He decided now wasn't the time to focus on vocabulary words, and he came to the window and gave it a fierce punch.

But he ended up almost falling from the ladder, as the glass held strong against his blow. He looked down to see guards hastily climbing on top of the cube, trying to reach him. Some of the pegasi... I GOT IT RIGHT, began to fly up, but before he could be apprehended, the cube let out a cyan lightning bolt into the glass, and it shattered everywhere. He shielded himself from the hail of glass, and fell from the ladder. After the rain had stopped, he had lowered his arms and ran back to his escape route, narrowly evading an incoming attack from another guard.

Right as he escaped, a cyan barrier formed over the area the glass had been, preventing the guards from pursuing him any longer.

"Guards! Retreat, we are in the forbidden room!" He heard from inside, and suddenly, the guards were flung violently against the walls by the cyan energy.

He looked at the moon above him, and saw it was suspiciously placed above where the dark tinted glass had been just moments before. He did not waste the opportunity he was given by the strange magic, and fled the area. He ran past the large mountain city near the castle he had emerged from, and he ran out into the farmlands. Moments later, the word that had been hiding from him came, and he fell unconscious, landing in the damp grass of the night.

All around him was swirling black fog, and the sound of running was heard all around. It was as if an army was running circles around him, and he could not feel any floor beneath him. Somehow, he was not falling, and he felt as light as a feather. The noise increased, and now the running turned into the beating of wings. Several thousand of them. It became almost overwhelming, and as he spun, he thought he saw a light emerge from the wisps of fog. A cyan light came forward, and it became the glow of another Alicorn horn, the had been glowing with magic. Her hair was long and majestic midnight blue, and it faded into a coat of violet blue. Her wings were flared out behind her, and her cat like eyes gazed into his soul, however there was a lot of that happening lately. She began to fly around him, examining him.

"Who dares interrupt our silence? Are you merely a simple creature, being chased by Celestia to be locked up?" She hissed toward him, but he casually stared back. Her voice was unusually spiteful, but he still did not give two shits.

"I honestly do not care, it's been quite a while since I really did care about something. Everything is a mission, including this. Feel free to do as you please now, I am residing in what appears to be your territory. If you find I am invading your privacy, you may eject me." He said with the utmost seriousness, but toward the end she caught a hint of malice.

Her face softened, and her hard stare fell. She immediately lowered her gaze, and the noise around them disappeared, as well as the zero gravity. Sam now found himself on a floor, and she sat on her haunches in front of him.

"I-I am sorry, it has been quite a while since I have had c-company." She said quietly, her voice now soft, and gentle. She looked so vulnerable, so... alone. Sadness was held in her words.

"I apologize for my rude behavior miss, I haven't been having a productive day up until last night-" He stopped, and remembered what color that magical aura was.

It was Cyan, as was the magic her horn had given off. The voice he had heard, it was identical. He looked down at the mark on her flank that he had been seeing on these creatures. It was a crescent moon, and finally the word came to mind. It fit.

"I am Sam. Thank you for helping me back there." He flashed a genuine smile, one that wasn't a byproduct of bloodlust or insanity. His hand was put forward.

She smiled shyly, and placed her hoof in his hand.

"I am Nocturne."

There ya go! Sorry it took so long, but I hope I got it out soon enough for you guys/girls. So I hope you enjoyed it, the next chapter will be out soon, depending on what my work schedule'll be tomorrow, and if I don't have recurring writers block. Also, GET IN MAH BELLAYH!
