Prologue: How the war started.

Gunfire, explosions, sounds of death and destruction seemed to be the only thing johnathan could and would hear nowadays, he couldn’t understand it, what caused such a tragic moment in history, it didn’t make sense to him no matter how many times he tried playing it in his head, always trying to find a reason yet never once succeeding in doing so, so he did what he would always do, go back to the beginning

Before the war (6 years ago)

It was the exciting day for Johnathan, because today they would make contact with another society from another dimension! Although he and the rest of his squad never really got specific details on what these inhabitants of this dimension looked like, only that they would love them the moment they saw them so that brought his spirit up by a lot.

When they eventually saw them, as stated, they instantly loved them and were slightly confused as well, because the society was made of ponies? “What?” A soldier to the right side of john said, this soldier was Gary Michael, weird name but his mother gave it to him so he kept it all his life without thinking much of it, despite the fact that gary seemed to be playfully bullied by his friends cause of his name he and John became best friends and stuck to each other’s side in their entire time in the military.

When they met the ponies, it unsurprisingly took place in some sort of lab, with the soldiers aware that they were being monitored by scientist ,government officials, and other higher ups. The amount of information that the squad got from the ponies was surprisingly a high amount, almost as if the ponies never had an ounce of fear of the squad and saw them as trustworthy beings, I mean they had to think that if they were just going to spill all that useful information to a completely new species/society, like for example, they revealed that they had two goddess like rulers titled Princess Celestia & Princess Luna, as well as the fact that there are currently 5 alicorn princesses with the youngest being Flurry heart.

Now with that all out of the way, you may be wondering how this war started so we’ll skip the boring parts. Now Celestia was someone or somepony the John never really had his full trust on, sure her motherly tone and her love for her subjects would’ve been enough to get even the grouchiest of people to like and trust her, but John had other thoughts, other thoughts that seemed to be shared with his best friend Gary and his two other friends Henry Stein & Martin Stein. If you couldn’t tell, Henry and Martin were brothers and just like John and Gary, had each other’s back.

Day of the war.

This was a weird day for John, he was just about to go and hang out with Gary, Henry and Martin but slowed down a bit when he started noticing strange behavior coming from the ponies, they all had a mix of regret, saddens and hatred splattered all over their faces, especially a pony by the name of sparkler, he was surprisingly great friends with her so you could imagine that he was quite upset about seeing her in this condition, “hey sparkler!” John said happily but the face sparkler was making didn’t change, eventually she decided to speak.

“I-….I’m….I’m sorry” sparkler said barley above a whisper, as she said this tears began to form in her eyes, but before John could ask or say anything she ran off, “Hey!” He heard a voice call out behind him, he turned to find Gary running towards him, Henry and Martin following behind him, the three appeared to be in their respective uniforms.

“Hey man! Hey can you please tell me why everyone here is all gloomy as shit?” John asked, although John already asked he probably already knew the answer.

“I don’t know man” bingo “ that’s why we came to ask you, but judging from your question earlier you only know as much as we…………..do” Gary began to look up as well as Henry and Martin, John looked behind him and saw something he will never forget, a giant airship descended from the clouds, things started to poke out of it, and that’s when he realized that those things were canons………THOSE THINGS WERE CANONS.

“HOLY SHIT, GUYS RU-“ but before he could scream out to his friends, the canons started firing at structures, “RUN” John yelled, his friends didn’t need to be told twice and the bolted out of there, as they kept running the noticed on their lefts and rights that the ponies from the ground began to attack, torching buildings and killing nearby humans, it got chaotic quickly with this amount of carnage going off. The crowed of ponies began to get bigger and bigger until they couldn’t run any further, they stopped as ponies began to surround them, all four of them got into a battle stance each one reaching for their respective guns but stopped once the heard a whistle sound getting close and closer and-

*BOOM*

A missile exploded near them, sending them flying, once John collided with the ground he slowly started to lose consciousness with the sound of gunfire and yelling fading as he slowly became unconscious….

POV: John

I awoke to the feeling of being dragged, I look behind me and see Gary dragging me to safety while Henry and Martin and a few other soldiers were fending off any remaining ponies, the sounds of gunfire, explosions, and screaming were all I could hear at the moment, I was eventually brought to a medic and had my wounds healed and bandaged, after that me, Gary, Henry, and Martin ran out of the building and ran towards the evacuation chopper out of four choppers, we got our guns out and began firing at any enemy pony who tried to stop and kill us, it took awhile, three soldiers were injured and two were dead, we kept firing at the ponies, they eventually stopped their advance, we took this opportunity and we all got onto a helicopter and flew to safety, as we did I got the chance to see all the destruction that was happening below us, it. Was. Horrible. I saw tanks and other military vehicles drive down roads filled with debris shooting at other ponies who were also trying to destroy and kill anyone on said streets. I couldn’t believe my eyes, these were the same ponies who were friendly to us and managed to coexist with us for 2 whole months, and now they were killing us slaughtering us like we were nothing to them, I looked down again and saw unicorns trying to use their magic to destroy the tanks, so far the only managed to destroy two of them but nothing else.

The air force had managed to bring down the airship as it gracefully descended in flames, the chopper finally managed to escape the carnage all around us….God help those who didn’t follow us.

Present day.

I stopped thinking, I still couldn’t find a reason, the ponies just started attacking us for no reason! Gary came over and told me that we were going to leave in 15 minutes so I began to pack my things, you know the usual, red cameo back-pack, ammo, a few mags, flashlight, helmet, mask, knives, gloves, and of course my M4 rifle, after I packed I went to go meet up with Gary Henry and Martin, while walking I decided to pull out my rolled up sleeves, we were in the middle of a forest and they said it was going to rain cats and dogs out there, after I meet up with them we all nodded and hopped on a military vehicle and drove with the other vehicles and tanks, alrighty let’s see were this day’s gonna get us this time, hopefully it will be better then the last. I mean hey, it will probably be worse then the last but hey, can’t hurt to hope and wish can it?

Wooo wee! My first attempt at a war story, hopefully it’s good and intriguing! If you see any mistakes let me know, and yes I will be returning to War of the worlds at some point in the future, just not now.

Anyways! Feel free to criticize but DON’T BE MEAN ABOUT IT!

Chapter 1: running through mud and blood.

I like rain, don’t you? Back before the war I used to live in Idaho and it would always rain up there, so you could imagine that whenever I find myself in the middle of a rainy day, I have a bit of a nostalgia trip, that and the fact the rainy days are just fun regardless. While I was driving, Gary was sitting next to me on the front passenger seat, Martin was sitting behind me, while Henry was in charge of the turret, that meant whenever we would be attacked by enemy forces Henry would be the first to go guns blazing. We were absolutely prepared for what was to come our way!

no your not..

It felt like we drove for hours but we finally made it, we were told that enemy forces would arrive at the east coast and we would be transported there by flight in two days, I was expecting another day of relaxing but our captain had other plans……wait captain? I don’t remember a captain being there with us…..whatever, he told me that me and my friends need to head out into the forest for a reason he did not identify, told me to get my best gear and weapons for a reason he also didn’t identify, strange…..but even if it was I still went to my friends, told them everything, and they were (what a surprise) as confused as I was but still took the offer, which is strange cause I don’t remember telling them that it was an offer….

We got our gear and weapons and made sure to let the captain know that we were heading out, when we got into the forest we didn’t hear anything but rain, no distant gunshots, no distant explosions, no nothing, just us walking through the forest along with the sound of rain and the occasional sound of thunder going off above us, so you could say we were on edge almost the entire time walking, we were about to let our guard down until we heard a distant *SNAP* on our right, we quickly look to our right and we see….nothing, I try to look a little closer with my binoculars and I finally saw something, something that would creep me out on the spot.

A single figure of another soldier, all alone, just…standing there, he had no weapons, no gear, just a simple uniform with just a helmet…..standing there, I then saw him look to his left a little and walk towards that direction, I felt myself paralyze in a sense, I didn’t hear a thing from my friends so I figured that they must of seen whatever THAT was, but when I looked…..holy hell….I have never felt this much fear build up inside of me so damn quickly…they were…….GONE, like they just vanished!

I quickly looked around at every spot around me but I couldn’t see them! They were just gone, just like that, so I quickly grabbed my walkie-talkie more out of instinct then anything, I turn it on and began speaking, I tried contacting Gary first, “Gary this is John, are you there? Over” five seconds, no response, I tried repeating what I said, “Gary this is John, are you there? over” five more seconds, still no response, it struck me that it was being a bit to impatient so I waited more, ten seconds no response, 5 minutes no response, 16 minutes still no response, when realizing the Gary wouldn’t respond anytime soon I decided to try to contact Henry after hoping that Gary wasn’t in any danger, after receiving no response from Henry I tried Martin and guess what….cmon just guess! Yeah no response either, I was beginning to get creeped out beyond what I could handle, so I did what any other person would do, go back to safety.

Ok it’s been two fucking hours and I can’t seem to reach back to base, It feels like 20 things are watching me all at once right now, I can’t seem to contact anyone, and for GOODNESS SAKE I KEEP SEEING THAT LONE SOLDIER IN THE CORNER OF MY EYES……I’m sorry about that, I seem to be in a state of paranoia, I keep walking in the direction the SHOULD have taken me to base 2 hours ago but I still don’t seem to be going anywhere, but that’s when I hear………dear god, I suddenly hear the LOUDEST EAR PIERCING SCREAM I’ve ever heard, it sounded like a women in trouble so I sprinted towards the scream, praying to God that it was a women and that I wasn’t about to run into some freak show, I finally went to where the scream originated from and if you want to know how, well let’s just say that there wasn’t just one scream.

I look around frantically, my M4 aiming at every turn, that was until I saw something, something cowering in one of the bushes, I aim my M4 at the bush waiting for something ANYTHING to just come out and lunge at me…but nothing did, instead what I saw was something quivering and silently sobbing, I look a little closer and saw…a mare!

“Hey you!” I shout easily getting the mare’s attention, she quickly looked at me and if the face of instant horror wasn’t enough, I guessed that she recognized me as the “human menace” as they probably call us, she then looked at me with pleading eyes.

“P-please…..d-don’t kill me…..please….s-something is chasing me..” the mare said through quick sobs, something struck me like a tank hitting me at full force, she was defenseless, the enemy was defenseless! I can just shoot her right here right now! Then why do I have the sudden need to….comfort her, to help her….I looked back at her and those pleading eyes, ‘fuck it’ I say to myself, making the final decision I put my gun away and opened my arms, she quickly and I mean QUICKLY ran into my arms sobbing a little less quieter then before, “thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!” She said at a fast pace, but then a thought hit me, a terrifying one.

“Ma’am I’m only gonna ask this once so answer me when I say it alright?” I tell her, she nods affirmatively, “alright, what is chasing you?” I asked, she seemed to think for a moment before finally speaking.

“I don’t know what it was, but it looked like you, but not you specifically, but rather one of your soldiers” that statement shook me to my core in an instant, ‘she saw it to’ I thought, she started to continue, “when I saw it I walked towards it cause it was just standing there, but when I t-tapped on its side it…..it” she started to break down, tears started to form and she started sobbing again, I hugged her closer to me trying to calm her down, she did in a few seconds, “it….it turned its head towards me in a split second and it…..” she tried to catch her breath for a moment, I stroked her mane gently, “it…it….it smiled at me!” She said a bit louder, “but not just any smile, the smile it..it was distorted, it kept growing bigger and bigger!” When she said that I went from ‘what the hell?’ To ‘WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!’ In a matter of seconds, but before we could say anything me and the mare suddenly heard something that I will NEVER forget.

EEEAAAAAOOOOEEEAAAAAAAAAAA

A loud high pitched SCREETCH, I hear the mare quiver in my arms and I didn’t think twice, I grabbed her tightly in one arm and my desert eagle in my other and sprinted in the opposite direction, I was so focused that I didn’t notice the mare desperately trying to get my attention, but I finally looked down at her and she quickly pointed a hoof behind me, I look behind my while running and I saw IT sprinting towards me and the mare! It got closer and close and CLOSER and HOLY SHI-

Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick. Ti-

HOLY HELL that escalated quickly, Bet you weren’t expecting that! I’m a bit curious as to what happened to John Gary Henry and Martin and of course the unnamed mare, and what that thing in the forest was…oh wait I do know what it is! But I won’t tell you MUHAHAHAHAHA! Yeah see ya next chapter!

Feel free to criticize but DON’T BE MEAN ABOUT IT. And yes I’ll change the tags and alter the description to fit this part of the story a bit more. Have fun!
