Humanitys Last Stand Against Harmony
Friends within the enemy

Well that escalated quickly. Now I'm behind the bar with my shotgun and about six other people, everyone loves the bar. So far two pegasi had tried to get in, both failed, but this shotgun wasn't going to last forever. "Okey, troops." I began, addressing the group of my newly made friends. "We going to need to get you guys some weapons, then we try to find the princess, the big bad bitch who tried to fry you, and try to get her to leave and call off this madness. Any objections?"
No one questioned my order, and that made me smile. If I could get them well armed, then we might just stand a chance of getting out of this alive. One of the group however, was a little girl, about eight, with black frizzy hair. She looked absolutely terrified, and with a cute face like that I just couldn't ignore it. "Don't worry little girl. We'll kick their ass." Who said I was good at encouragement?
"Right, you two," I said pointing at couple of guys my age, "You guys go into the cellar and try to find anything that could qualify as a weapon. Especially if long range." My two scouts ran off towards the back, leaving me and four more people. "You, get into the kitchen and sort out our food. We don't know how long we could be here. Once you've done that, get it to the basement." This person was young lady who looked about 15-17. The only guys left were the little girl this other guy who was staying close to her. "Umm, hey little girl," She looked at me before saying, "My name is Clementine." (SHUT UP! EVERYONE LOVES HER!)
"Right, Clementine, do you know this guy?" She looked up at the man who just nodded his approval. "Yes. He took care of me when they took my parents away." Dang, I respect this guy. "OK, good. Mate, your in charge of keeping her safe. Don't fail." He gave me a determined face. "Got it."
So with my team sorted out and some-what organized, I planned what to do next. If we stay here the ponies will eventually regroup and will no doubt check this building out after my little 'show', so staying was a big no. Remembering all those ponies that were on the streets, I knew that nearly no where was safe, there was just too many to find from. The only place that came to mind when I thought of peace and safety was...
"Hmm. But how would we get there...?" I thought out loud. "Get where?" I turned to find the two chaps who I had sent to the basement, and man, look at what they found. Three glock's, another shotgun, and, this is bloody amazing, and M4A1! It felt like Christmas! "Whoa, nice gun."
He looked down at it himself. "Yea, found in a big locker thing. We couldn't get it open but found this on top. You want it?" As much as I wanted to be epic and run around with that beauty, carrying around this shotgun was hard enough. "Naa, you keep it if you want. Or give it to that guy," I said pointing to the protector. "He's going to look after the girl, and he looks like he should be able to carry it without being weighted down too much."
The gun man shrugged and handed it over to the protector. The girl who was in charge of the food cam back. "I got all the canned food and drinks I could find and put it in a bag downstairs, in case we need to leave in a hurry." She looked pretty up her self, and she should for thinking of that. "Awesome! Good work people. Now we just need to get out of here. I think-"
"Humans! Freeze!" Oh great, more ponies. I popped over the counter shotgun in hand, but stopped. There in front of me was Shining Armor, the brother the Twilight Sparkle. "Oh snap. Umm, how about a truce? I really don't want to shoot you."
He looked a bit shocked by my proposal. Well, I'm pretty sure anyway. Real life ponies looked a lot different then from the show. He looked at the gun on my hands, then to the two dead ponies lying on the ground hidden behind the table. "Did you say the same thing to them?" He hissed, he was losing his cool and I really respected this guy. "No. They came in here and tried to kill us without a single word. What other choice did I have? And plus if I wanted you dead by now, you would be."
He took my tone seriously and calmed down a bit. One step closer to gaining a new friend that could possibly end this. He tried to the take diplomatic approach and talk me into surrendering. "Do you know why we are doing this?" his face full of concern and pity. If I knew that this was an act I would have listened. "Because you've all been mislead by facts you didn't look into properly?" He wasn't expecting a comeback.
"You came to a world that had no effect on yours what-so-ever, saw only the ugly side, and tried to put us down. You didn't look at what we have learned, what we can do, and how long it's been since the last proper war. Actually, ignore that last one. Point is, you are messing around in stuff you have a right to be messing with. If what ass created us wanted us dead, he or she would have done it ages ago."
He thought about what I said, I had my fingers crossed. If this worked then he might be able to talk to the princess and call this whole thing off. He was tapping a hoof on his chin thinking about what to do. "Damn it. You have a point. Look, I don't want to be here as much as the next pony, but we can't just leave. The princess has trapped us on this planet and the only way out is through some giant stone gateway. But without the key we can't leave. Also, I found some disturbing things in my sisters dairy. My sister is Twilight Sparkle by the way. She's Celestia's private student."
He produced a small book coloured pink (Didn't see that coming) and placed it on the bar next to me. I flicked it open, skipping to the more important pages. My eyes went wide as I read. This wasn't good. "Err, great. But how do we get out of here? The pegasi block every exit out of the city so the only way out would be-" I was cut short by a pegasus looking through the window. "Oh crap." Shining Armor turned, his mouth hanging open.
"The humans are here! Shining Armor is with them! GET THEM ALL!" Making friends can get you killed. Who knew?
