Chapter 1: Dumbest Way to Die but Greatest Way to Reincarnate
Date: 5/4/22  
POV: Fiji
Fiji cried and whined for hours. The love of his life had left him because he had been unemployed for the past 5 months, unable to get a job because he was a terrible speaker. During interviews, he would usually screw up in ways that did not get him the job. He wiped his tears and calmed down. He was feeling hungry so he went to get something to eat.
He came across his sister watching My Little Pony.
"Aren't you a bit old for that?" He asked.
"Shut up Fiji, I got my own interests, and you got yours," She said still watching the show.
He sat down and watched with her.
"So who are those guys?" He asked.
"Ugh, excuse me? Those are girls, not guys." Although she was an introvert, she tended to act like a brat when she was home and like a nice person during school.
"Ok, ok... I'm sorry, who are those girls?" He asked again hoping that she would not start blabbing again.
"That orange pony is named Applejack and-" This continued for some time.
Beginning to get uninterested he sat up and left to the kitchen with his sister still talking nonsense. He started to look for something to eat and he found nothing but boiled eggs. He groaned and took them along with some pepper sauce and salt to make them taste better.
He went back to his "room" and started to load up Arma on his computer. He finished the eggs before playing and threw his plate aside along with the bowl of pepper and salt can. He sighed and put up a few mods with his Zeus interface. He started to feel dizzy all of a sudden. It was like he was high on crack during his time in high school. He tried to get up but fell over his chair in the process.
"W-what the fu-" Was all he could mutter out before blackness surrounded him.
(Beep...)  
(Beep...)  
(Beep...)  
(Beeeeeeeeeeepppp......)
Fiji's family was devastated. He had apparently died due to food poisoning when later investigations figured that out. His father was apparently part of a gang and he and his family were being targeted. Their home was broken into and turns out one of the robbers just poisoned the eggs and then left with a jug of milk.
But this is not the end for Fiji yet, as a strange Alicorn stops him and gives him a choice.
"W-where am I?" He started to slowly rise up.
He was in a white Asylum looking room with bed sheets all over the walls.
"Welcome to the half-afterlife," The voice said.
"Whos there!" He yelled.
Fiji backed up into a corner and waited for it to show itself.
"I am an Angel, you died eating a poisoned egg," The being said, appearing with bright lights surrounding it.
Fiji covered his eyes and he started to question many things.
"No, no, no... this has to be some sort of prank right!?" The supposed Angel shook its head.
"Afraid not." It said.
He started to break down, but the Angel had put some sort of comforting thing around him and he soon recovered from a short mental breakdown.
"You have done some bad choices throughout your life. For that, you will be sentenced to 25 years of hell," It said.
"Wait w-what!?" Fiji said confused.
"Or you could redeem yourself by doing the greater good by freeing sentient Ponies," It said.
Making a quick decision, he decided he'd rather free sentient horses than suffer in hell.
"Good choice." The room began to dissipate and it then put them on a Nimitz Class Carrier bridge, for some reason the bridge was smaller than usual.
"You seem to have a love for military technology. So why not give you the chance to put them to good use?" The Angel said.
Before he could speak, he suddenly turned into a pony. He had a blue mane along with black fur covering his whole body. He also had black pupils. He started to scream.
"Where are my arms and legs! My hands!" He yelled.
His mouth was shut forcefully.
"To help a sentient species is to become one of them so they can trust you," The Angel said.
"How am I going to run a giant carrier myself then!?" He asked it.
"Simple, I give you what you need and want, Although I can limit it to only three things," The Angel said.
Fiji had a perfect idea for his choice.
"Give me a Zeus interface that I can use just like the game Arma 3 if you don't know. Along with 400 satellites in orbit around this planet if we're not on Earth that is, oh, and put as many mods that you can put in my Zeus interface!" Fiji said.
The Angel considered it for a few moments.
"Done, to use your interface, you must touch the side of your left torso to activate it," The Angel said.
"Yes!" He screamed with joy.
"I must go now, good luck on your mission, when the two princesses return to power and everyone is freed from King Sombra, you will be let in the afterlife." The Angel then left Fiji on his own. But before leaving, the Angel had put multiple colored horses in navy green tanish digital camo clothes around the carrier along with deck crews and crews for the escort ships.
Fiji jumped at the sight of a pony working beside him.
"Sorry Admiral, did I startle you?" The Pony asked.
Fiji gathered his thoughts and finally spoke.
"Yes you did, it is fine though," Fiji said.
The Stallion went back to his usual business looking in the monitors and among other things. Fiji looked around him, the bridge was filled with sound and commotion now. There were multiple ponies running around with papers and clipboards. He walked over to the door that led to the balcony that overwatched the deck of the carrier.
He watched as F/A-18's and F-35's were being moved above the decks. He heard hoofsteps approaching and turned towards the doorway.
"Admiral, we are 10 miles from the Equestrian shoreline. The jets we sent to scout ahead have reported that the ports are filled to the brim with ships," said the advisor.
"Identified as an enemy or friendly ships?" He asked.
"Enemy ships Admiral."
"Send an attacking force, along with an invasion force. bomb as many ships in the process. Brief the pilots about this too."
"Yes, Admiral." The advisor left.
Fiji turned to view the deck and setting sun again. He thought of his family and past life. He was happy to leave everything behind. 'Guess I'll have to get used to this place now.'
A Few Hours later.  
POV: Applejack
'It's been too long since I have last seen mah friends, I think I mighta caught some kind of sickness too. I just hope it ain't too bad. I've been forced to work with King Sombra. I wish I hadn't because of everyone I caught lyin. I just hate it when his guards touch me in ways I'd never want..., I wish I went with Twilight that day... Anyway, I'm about to enter the labor camp, I just hope I can find my friends here.'
"Halt!" Yelled a guard. He moved the row of prisoners along a wall.
"I want that one," said another guard.
"You there! Orange mare!" Applejack looked up.
"Unlock her shackles and take her to the rooms." Said the guard that led them in some kind of camp.
"Come with me, beautiful," he snickered.
Applejack knew where this was going. She was being led down the hall with mares screaming and moaning. She shivered as the place was making her uncomfortable. She wanted to run but the whole place was filled with guards. She decided she could take out the guard that was leading her to a room when they were alone.
"Boy am I lucky I found you," Said the guard. "It's rare to see one of Equestria's greatest protectors in shackles and now, you're about to get violated," Said the guard as he pushed her against the bed.
Applejack was pushed onto the bed again in a Doggystyle position. Just as the guard was about to go in, she bucked him right in the spot and then turned around and pinned him against the ground with him groaning in pain.
"Y-you bitch! M-my children!" He cried out.
"Nighty Night," She bucked the guard in the head and he was knocked out.
She walked towards the window and looked around. They were in Manehatten, part of the port had a huge labor camp and a dock nearby. Laborers would usually be forced to build buildings or ships for the Shadow Kingdom. Applejack hopped over the window and landed on the dirt ground. She then made her way over to the fence and then peeked out to find an escape route.
She then saw a chance to run across the street. Keeping a quick and quiet pace, she opened a barrel that was on a carriage and hid inside, somehow closing the barrel back up. After about 10 minutes of waiting, there were shouts outside and the carriage started to move. More shouts rang out outside and then she heard somepony climbing up the carriage inspecting the barrels.
'This is it, I'm gonna get caught again.' She began to panic and decided she would make a run for it.
She popped out of the barrel like a jack in the box and then started running for the gates. Orders were being barked around her and she was soon tackled by 4 guards. She struggled to break free but eventually was tied up and thrown against the ground.
"Trying to run away Ms. Honesty?" said a guard that had a different uniform, assuming he was the leader, Applejack was about to talk back when a small screeching sound was heard.
Everyone looked up in the sky, the noise emanating from the sky. They all then spotted something shining in the blue patch of clouds. At this point, almost everybody in the labor camp and port was looking in the sky wondering what that sound was. When the sound died out everyone started to talk about it. That's when an explosion was heard in the port. Ironclads started to be bombed left and right.
Everypony was screaming for their lives, even some of the labor workers started to run to the gates or tried to climb over the walls. Explosions sounded everywhere and another one landed in a building nearby Applejack sending her and the guards flying in the air for a few seconds. She groaned and looked around her. The fire surrounding the buildings and mushroom-like clouds coming from the port in the distance.
She found this a chance to escape through the chaos and into the city of Manehatten. When she got out, almost the whole street was filled with chaos. Ponies running inside buildings or alleyways, she just kept running, never looking back at the hell hole she was in. It had been about 5 minutes of running and hiding from the Shadow guards. She had finally made it somewhere between the shoreline and the forests that led out of the city.
The streets were empty now, nothing but the sound of explosions in the distance. Applejack calmed down and started to walk. It was somewhere in the afternoon and she could still hear the loud roaring in the skies. She kept wondering what they were. She came up with many possibilities. She stopped by a deserted restaurant that had a view of the beach. She looked for something to drink and found a bottle of water.
She drank it and gasped heavily. It had finally been something colder and fresher than the warm water she received at the labor camps. She then walked past the tables. The place had looked like it was deserted and never touched in 2 years since Sombra's takeover. She then opened the door, only to see silhoette's in the distance on the ocean. She started to walk towards the beach squinting her eyes.
Chopping sounded out, the silhoette' s got closer...
"What in tarnation..." She muttered.
