Diary Entry #7,653

Its been twenty years already, twenty fucking years. I've been in Equestria more than two decades already. I'm head of the Equestrian Intelligence Agency, known, between us, as the EIA. I've saved this country from enemies; foreign and domestic more times than I could count. I’m a secret hero, though. Me and this Agency do not exist. Everything that happened, didn’t...

It is awesome to be in Equestria, but it came at a cost that I’m the last human being in existence. The fuckin’ Mayans were actually right, many great minds thought they were wrong, but no, the earth had it’s final run on, December 21, 2012 at 12:00 PM. I escaped by using the wormhole technology that my father created, along with many chemists and scientists. They made the impossible, happen. I made it out at the last possible second as water gushed in through the lab. As soon as the water touched the electrical systems, it collapsed on itself creating that of a small nuclear explosion in the desert near Appaloosa. I miraculously survived, just to know that I was taken prisoner by a royal guard, therefore, to Canterlot.

I escaped the cell containing me captive, and held Princess Celestia at spear point, and Luna mysteriously congratulated me on escaping the cell and told me to put the spear down which I immediately did, she asked me to create a new unit for doing what I did, so, it was done. She gave me an element, just like the Element of Harmony, but a bit different. It was like an Element of War that she gave me. I now had the ability to make any weapon appear or any military vehicle, but there’s one catch; that it only came with one bullet for each gun, I would had to have thirty AK47’s for one complete magazine. I could easily disintegrate the weapons, so that those weapons would not go into the wrong hands or hooves, whatever you think of.

I don't exist, anypony I come in contact with, other than the Princesses or the Agency, gets their memory wiped up. I wander around every day, in a suit and tie. with nice shades and a 1911 or a P90. The ponies in the Agency are always Earth ponies. They still have families too, its just that they don’t exist. Also I'm writing this and sending this through the wormhole so that hopefully my comrade, ████ can read this and get ███████ before it’s too late.

“Sir,” one of the agents woke me out of my trance.

“Yes?” “It’s time for the briefing, sir.”

“Good,” I say as I leave my quarters and proceed down the hall to the lab area. Agents are saluting me as I walk by, and I cordially salute them back. I'm basically the highest military officer in the Equestrian military, only second to the Prince Shining Armour. He’s right below me in rank, but it will always be said in the history books that he’s the highest, because I technically don’t exist.

As I open the door to the lab, the nearest agent says, “Attention,’’ everyone in the room except the princesses salute me.

I return the salute and bow down before the princesses.

“At ease, Commander,” Luna says while eyeing Celestia.

“Whenever you're ready, Commander,” Celestia says.

I get up to the podium and give my final speech.

“As all of you know, this will be the last time I will address myself as Commander of the EIA,’’ I pause to take a slight breath.

“You’ve been all trained enough, and many of our comrades have died in battle to protect Equestria from all Enemies of state; foreign and domestic, we have stopped attacks for the Gtyphot Kingdom, Diamond Dogs and Changelings. But there’s a new threat approaching us. One we can not hope to fight against.” I clear my throat and say, “Increases in seismic activity have been occurring across the globe. The worlds’ core has been heating up to almost forty percent in the last twenty years. What am trying to say is; the same forces that destroyed Earth, my home world, will destroy yours.”

Those agents... I must have trained those ponies into the toughest son of a bitches alive, because they did not move during the entire speech until it was over.

“I wish I, myself, could tell you ponies a way we could prevent the upcoming destruction, we cannot, but today, none of us are strangers, today we are one family stepping into the darkness together. Now, as you might not know, I’ll be going back in time through the same device that I came to Equestria to save two of my fellow comrades, ████ and ██████, from certain destruction. I will return to my home world rough two hours before the Earth ends. I’ll bring them back, but not to this time, but to the time that you found me in Appaloosa, forgotten and abandoned. I’ll still be this age of ██, as the time that I leave in twenty minutes. When I come back, it’ll be in an alternate timeline you will not remember me, you will be hostile towards me, like you were twenty years ago. But, hear this; I will make sure that the EIA will, be built up again to protect equestria but not only with my help, but with the help of my two comrades. We will do everything in our power, to save your world from my world’s inevitable fate. So as of now I resign my duties as Commander of EIA and give my responsibilities to Agent ██████ of the EIA. You are due to report directly to him, know about all operations and preparations to keep this country safe. Hooah?”

“Hooah,” says every agent in the room, even the princesses.

“Any questions?” No pony says a word.

I get off the podium and direct my attention to Princess Celestia and Luna.

I turn in all of my classified documents and my badge to kill.

I turn to the time teleporter and ask agent Hooves, “Is it ready?”

“Yes sir,” he replies.

“Fire it up, Doctor,” are my last words as I walk through the teleporter.

As I salute the Dr. and the whole EIA in the room, I vanish into thin air as, the teleporter slowly shuts down.

D█████

Age:██

████ Human

Location:███ Eagle’s School

██████████████

███ and ██████████

Today started out like any other Friday, like the Friday you and me pass through every goddam week of your life. It was a peaceful day just like everyday in this humble community. In the meantime I was bored at my local university, weirdly called ‘’The Eagles.’’ Well, I was excited to go home for the weekend and have some fun with my friends, and play some videogames too. It was lunchtime and I was cheerfully eating my lunch and talking to some of my classmates. The only weird thing that circled through my mind was that today, was December 21 2012. I got the chance to tell my friends, “Hey the Mayans were kinda wrong,’’ ‘’Ya know, about the apocalypse and the end of the wor-”

I got interrupted just when a tall man came up to me and pulled out a gun and shot it into the air and he said to me

“C’mon Dragon, no time to lose here.’’

I was completely dumbfounded at first, and then I told him,

“Who the fuck are you?!”

“Who the fuck are you!?” he tried to mimic my voice.

“It’s me Blitz.” The stranger told me, after an awkward silence came ‘

’Wait, what the fuck! This is like the first time I've meet you in person and you come to my school like this?”

“Yeah, you’ve got a problem with that?!”

“No?” I tell him.

“What are you doing here anyway?” I said, “ Why the fuck do you bring a gun to a sch-”

“There’s no time Dragon, I will explain you on the way.” Blitz says while he pulls out another gun from his vest.

“Ah.... okay,” I tell him, while taking a quick glance to the weird-looking gun.

Behind me, some of the kids started to yell and scream at the horrific event, and then Blitz asks, “Who is the little shit that beat up my friend here?” Everyone points to a the guy who bullied me in my young years. The guy, well, he had a reputation being a bully, a motherfuckin’ bully. He punched little kids for a living, just think about that... Then Blitz tells me,

“Get him, with these...” While he hands me some weird shells to load into the gun.

“They’re just slug shells, you shoot him once, he’ll be dead, he won't feel the pain either. Besides the world is going to end anyway. just shoot him and then lets get the fuck out of here .”

I proceed to shoot the kid, I shot four shells into him before I realized what Blitz said. “Wait, what? Did you say the end of the world?!”

By then, all the kids were gone. Suddenly theschool officer came and he drew his pistol and said, “Freeze”. I said, “Everybody! Clap your hands!” He looked at me with a stupefied face, then I shot the remaining five shots into him, he fell on the floor screaming in pain. Now, we were left alone.

“Uh, yeah, I’m not who you think I am.” said Blitz.

“Who are you then? I thought you were Blitz.”

“I’m Blitz, still, but I... came from the future...”

“Whaa...”

“Yeah, kinda a long story. Look, in the future, or in exactly 2 hours, the world’s gonna end catastrophically. You and Fire are going to die... in this exact school. My father was part of a project called, ‘Extasia’. This project was created for a single purpose: Make human life better. And how better? Well, they started to experiment and theorize about the ‘Time Machine’. After millions of attempts, they finally made it, don’t know how they did it, after seventy years of research they created it... The ‘Time Machine’. Many great minds thought it was impossible to create such thing, but there was a single way to do it... There’s a lot to talk about right now, but we really have to go. Fire needs to be here sooner or later...’’

“T-T-time machine?!!’’

A low rumbling noise started to shake the ground below us.

“Hold on cowboy, I hear something...’’

Suddenly a Humvee bursts out of the wall next to us and a old friend of mine seems to be driving the gigantic automobile. He then steps out of it in a heavy ‘Juggernaut’ suit and exclaims.

“Yo, Dragon, old buddy!”

“Wait, I think I know that voice...Fire?’’

“The one and only. Now get in and get the .50 Cal. Cops are going to be on our ass on any moment already .”

Just when the police cars start to show up.

“Irony,” says Fire as he hits the side of the Humvee with his fist. I get in and man the .50 Cal.Fire is driving and Blitz is in one of the passenger seats.Fireslams into the first cop car and Blitz, with amazing aiming, starts to shoot the other car. Immediately we drive off of the school.

“Hey Blitz, where did you get all these weapons, dude?”I tell him.

“You know how the mane six have the Elements of Harmony, right?” Blitz says.

“No shit!’’I say.

“Well yeah, we have like some sort of new elements. Like mine for example. I can make any military vehicle or weapon appear in the palm of my hand, but there’s only one problem; that I get little or no ammunition at all for what ever I decided to forge. So, I have to find a way to get it. ‘’

“So, that’s how you got the guns and Humvee?” I ask.

“No shit, bro.” Blitz exclaims.

“I seriously don’t know what’s Fire’s or your’s. Also, we’re escaping to Equestria.”

“Well, why man?” I ask Blitz.

“What do you mean with ‘Why man?’ Every brony at least once in their life, has wanted to go to Equestria.” Blitz replied.

“ True, but, why now?”

“Listen I-... No. We need to save Equestria from the same fate that will happen to this planet. In twenty years equestria will be destroyed” Blitz exclaims.

“WHAT?!”

“I will explain more when we are in Equestria. Let's hope the EIA read my orders to send backup to pick us up.”

“What's the EIA?” I ask .

“Equestrian Intelligence Agency... It has not been formed... yet!” Blitz replied.

“Hey guys!” Fire said.

“WHAT?!” Blitz and I both yell at the same time.

“Uh, I think we're in deep shit.” Fire said while giving us a furrowed brow.

I take a look around, and the Humvee seemed to be plowing through with what I estimate to be about eighty cop cars following us.

“Alright... It’s time to fuck the police, boys!” Blitz said, in a deep voice. I locate the .50 cal. near the edge and pull the trigger...

*CLICK*

*CLICK *

*CLICK*

“Blitz, man, why isn't there any ammo in the fucking gun?” I yell while slamming the .50 Cal with my fist.

“I told you that you gotta get the ammo from somewhere else! I think there’s a belt in the back, but you're going to have to climb out to get it though!”

Ilook at him with a confuzzled face, as he makes a weird movement with his hands and he makes a M16 appear magically out of thin air and starts to shoot at the cops.

“Dude, how did you do that?” I ask him.

“It’s my element...”

“Oh, yeah.’’

“Dumbass...”

Right then an RPG flew right in front of his head and exploded in front of us

“Dragon! Find some ammo and man the gun! That’s an order!” Blitz says as bullets start to ricochet off the heavy armor.

I look at him funny

“Sorry, an old habit of mine.” Blitz says.

I cautiously made my way to the back of the Humvee and I only find one bullet for the 50cal. I sigh and quickly load the short belt into the 50. caliber sniper rifle..

“Alright guys, I only got one shot, and I'm going to make it count!” I aim for the nearest cop car, holding it steady aiming for the head.

Three...

Two..

One.

The bullet goes straight through the windshield and into the next two cars.

I continue to pull the trigger and amazingly the .50cal still fires. I look and there’s a seemingly endless belt on the side of the gun. I look down at the the box and it has, as it seems. a infinity symbol on it.

“Well, it looks like...”

I put my shades on.

“They’ll be busy for a while!”

“YEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!”

Blitz calls me out, “Dude that was like the worst joke ever, of all fucking time.”

“Sorry, can't hear ya over all the gunshots!”

“Wait, I thought that you only had one bullet!” Blitz exclaims.

“Yeah, I placed it in the .50 cal and I have like... Infinite now.”

“...Wait that might be your element!”

“What?” I say.

“Here, trade places take my ‘16.”

I get down, and take the M16 while Blitz mans the .50 cal.

Fireis driving with one hand on the steering wheel and in the other hand, a long barreled Model 1887 shooting out the window, flip cocking all the way.

As I take the empty magazine of the ‘16 out, I take a look at it and it instantly starts to fill up. I could not believe what I saw.

I loaded the magazine in and started firing fully automatic, non stop.

“Damn, dude, you’ve got skills already!’’

“Learnt it from my dad...’’ I said.

“He taught me how to shot a desert eagle at five.”

"Nice..."

I went way beyond the thirty round bullet magazine.

“Also, Blitz, I think you're right about my element.”

In a flash something appeared on my wrist like some sort of bracelet. Upon it had the infinity symbol with a bullet crossed on it. I took a glance to Blitz’s wrist, and mysteriously, he had it before me! The symbol was related to a red crosshair with a gun in the middle of it. Fire was yet to receive his.

One lucky son of a bitch fired his rocket and hit the ground next to the Humvee, it wasn't enough to destroy the Humvee but just enough to flip it over around, Nine Fucking times.

The G-force was so intense that we all puke inside the humvee. We also heard the sirens getting louder and louder.

What looks like one thousand cops are right outside the crashed humvee. Blitz is knocked out and Fireis in his juggernaut suit (which he █████ ██)

I ask Fire. “Hey man, I need to figure out your element so we can get out of here and go to Equestria before this shit ends, according to Blitz...’’

I look over at the Humvee and try to find a way to get in it. I only find a weird looking laptop with amazing images of the Earth. I suddenly figured out that it was a SATv.2, a device used to lace high powered missiles into Earth. I picked it up and it has a missile ready for activation but it wouldn’t let me use it, so I gave it to Fire and said,

“Hey, can you use this, Fire?” He simply touches the screen and a bracelet similar to mine appears on his left wrist.

“Element of Fire Support... Badass.”

I hear the cops banging on the door.

I whisper “Fire, on count of three, you unleash hell on them, okay?” As I grab the shotgun Blitz gave me.

“One... “

Two...’’

“... Three’’

I open the door of the Humvee, and start to shoot everything in my perimeter of sight. Its raining missiles and grenades. I eventually get shot in the shoulder, but the whole force got killed.

I find Blitz on the floor and quickly ask him,“Hey, Blitz, wake up man we need a w-”

The earth below us started to shake and a volcano erupted in the horizon and a tsunami came. All at once .

“Shit man, we have ran out of time.” Blitz says.

“Blitz, focus now, we need something to escape”I say.

“Okay. Hold on...”Blitz says while he starts making a weird pose and moves his two hands in a vertical way. He then moves them horizontally, resembling a ‘/\’ symbol.

The ground below him started to shake as a blue aura of power rushed through him. What he made just blew me away.

Blitz summoned a solid Mi-24 hind with vulcan cannons on the side, and rocket launchers.

I say,“Damn Blitz, this is like the most unsafe helicopter in the world, but it will have to do.”

Me and Fire quickly get inside the helicopter and shut the door. Blitz climbs in the cockpit and quickly take off towards the only open spot in the sky.

“Wait, what’s this?” I ask as I point at a machine on the back of the helicopter.

“Don’t ask! Later!”

The machine behind us started to shake the helicopter a little.

“Hold on to something! Next stop... Equestria!” Blitz says.

Then it gets all dark and spooky and large wormhole appears. We’re about to go through it just when we get hit from a rocket from one of the last remaining SWAT members as he is crushed by volcanic ash.

“SHIT WE'RE GOING DOWN!”Blitz says as we escaped into the wormhole.

As I lazily arrived at Canterlot, near the outskirts of it, I started to ask myself on how should I go in and rescue my comrades. I verily started to think the only two possible plans on mind, I could go in guns ablazin or sneak into the city like Blitz described me to?

I decided to take the best decision of the two.

“It’s finally time to put my skills into work,” I said as I get off the Mongoose.

I quickly ditched the Mongoose and threw it off the cliff, just as a giant forcefield appeared around the whole city. It was pinkish purple in color and very powerful. As the mongoose fell and hit the field it exploded violently rupturing the shield a little.

“Well, it seems that they are definitely here,” I said.

As I took a look around the corner I saw around forty royal guards marching around the place on patrol.

“Hmm... they need to be here.”

I needed to make it from my current position, which was about █ ████ away from the Canterlot castle to said destination. So I used a tactic that we used back in the CIA Black Ops, its code name was ███████ back in London.

I used the code ███████ to tackle some of the guards while no one was looking; I took a quick glance to my left, revealing that there was a small hole, fit enough for a pony. I went inside of it, despite my size, and went into the sewer.

From what I could tell, the sewers were actually really clean and did not smell like anything I once imagined they would, but it did have a few rats. Other than the rats, I did not meet any other living thing on my journey to the castle.

I took a look at the blueprints of the city’s sewer system and I found were I entered and where I needed to be. I was just below the main entrance to the Royal Gardens. I found a extremely long ladder, but fitted good enough for a pony to climb it.

As I climbed the ladder and through the ponyhole cover, I threw Dragon’s shotgun and looked around.

“This is going to be hard,” I thought

There were numerous animals around me.

All of the little critters started to get in fear, but eventually a bear was still there and started to growl at me.

I already knew that he was going to be a threat. He tried to knock me down onto the ground with his claws, but all he got was a failed attempt as I swiftly evaded the giant claw emerging into my position. Stupidly, not knowing that he wasn’t using his right arm, he striked me to the ground cutting open my camouflaged uniform.

I quickly got back to my legs, I took the shotgun and smacked him across the head and started to beat him until he was no longer a threat.

I did not want to break my stealth so I did not fire the gun, the guards probably already knew something was happening due to the bear’s roar.

I proceeded move the bear into the bushes.

I made my way to the window to take a sneak peak around and vault into the window.

I noticed two Royal Lunar guards right in front of me with the back of their heads facing me.

“This will be easy,” I said in my mind.

I quickly bumped their heads together knocking them out cold

I opened the door to the main throne room where I thought Princess Celestia was, unfortunately she wasn’t.

“Dammit.”

I entered to the seemingly deserted room and proceeded to my right where I saw about 20 guards in there.

“Maybe there’s where Luna and Celestia are interrogating Blitz and Dragon,’’ I thought.

I then decided to break stealth.

“The house of pain is in effect.” I said as I shot the guards with Dragon's AA-12.

They all dropped down in pain screaming, from the proceeding paroxysm of pain from all the incoming rubber balls.

They are no longer a threat, but I heard more guards coming... They definitely knew something was up.

I sprinted myself to the door behind the throne room looking for the dungeon room.

Then, I remembered that I was the element of Fire Support. I found a hiding place under one of the curtains while a platoon of guards ran down to the throne room

I summoned a UAV with thermal and sonar vision with powerful listening devices and a couple of AGM Missiles.

It appears on my wrist as I looked for the place that they held my comrades.

I found my position about 40 feet from the throne room, to the left is Celestia's room and to the right, Luna’s and right in front of me, I see a staircase that goes down

I moved the uav to look down a bit further.

It couldn't because of the force field was interfering with the sonar. I could barely see my current location. I took command of one missile and fired at the top of the field to make it collapse. The force field was pretty far up, I estimated to be about 800 feet above the city streets but I was still able to hear a faint boom sound as I looked out the window.

The interference was gone fast, and I could see clear through the mountain and the castle down the staircase and even to the cells; I noticed a bunch of guards heading to the staircase and to the Princess's room.

“I will have to make this fast or if not, I’m going to be detected.”

I took a deep breath,

3...

2...

1..

I quickly burst through my cover into the staircase and locked the door. I looked down to what looked like the staircase went down for ever, I stepped up my pace and continued my way down.

A faint sound of the guards banging on the door was heard, and I saw celestia coming out of her room with about 50 guards down to the staircase.

I had my “Oh shit!” moment and jumped down the staircase hoping not to break anything.

I free fell for about 5 seconds before landing on the stone floor. I got up and immediately looked at two lunar guards who were in shock in front of me.

Then, I grabbed the shotgun and knocked the one out and shot the other one in the balls. I hid behind the wall right next to the door as I brought the UAV online. I took a look at the throne room above me and I noticed more guards outside the castle.

Apparently, Celestia was with a platoon of guards going right for the staircase entrance. I saw all of this through the UAV’S imaging system. I needed to create a distraction, so I used the A.G.M missiles to shoot at the mountain to create a rockslide.

I heard a rumbling as I saw a massive rock fall down the mountain, and slam into the castle wall making it collapse from the impact of the missiles and rock. All of the guards on the surface went out to inspect the damage. So, I fired a missile at the castle entrance to shut down the entrance to castle so that they were trapped for the time being. I looked at the door in front of me through the UAV’S surveillance equipment.

I saw Luna who was interrogating Blitz. Apparently, he was sitting in a chair with his hands tied up to a chair, there were two guards wielding spears pointing at him in fear of what was happening above them.

Dragon was in cell #███

I was ready to breach. I proceeded to the door and breached it by slamming my body onto it and shooting one guard, ███████ █████ him. With rage, the second guard threw his spear at me which went right through my left arm and pierced my skin. I immediately fell down in pain; my arm was now completely useless.

I shot the gun at the guard making him yell out in pain as the rubber balls from the less lethal rounds ripped through his coat. I shoved him over to the side

But I lost too much blood in the process from the bear slash and the spear almost ripping my left arm off and I was now on the ground. The AA-12 was just too heavy for me to handle even though it is very light.

I collapsed of blood loss and was through into a cell with Luna inside, who was in shock and fear by some defined reason. To the left of me was Dragon to the right side was Blitz.

Luna reinforced the magic barriers and left the room to go see her sister and get more guards. She left in panic at the amount of damage the drone had done. She turned and looked at me, she then took a mighty stare at Blitz. He then warned Luna by saying what humans could really do to her race. She left the last three guards down there with us.

I looked at Blitz.

“Never thought you would come to find us, man,” said Blitz. “Yeah, we’ve been here in this shithole for a long time already,” said Dragon, panting heavily.

“Talking is prohibited Prisoner,” said one of the guards, shaking a little.

“You’re afraid to what might happen to you, right?” said Blitz as he grinned toward the guard.

“N-no! I will always be loyal to the Pri-”

“Heh, this guy talks too much,” boasted Blitz as he stabbed the pony with a knife, cutting his throat open.

“Dragon, below you,” said Blitz as a weird looking gun appeared just below him.

The two remaining guards got into full flight, with their spiky spears in their mouths.

“Fire, take this,” said Blitz as he threw a small looking ball towards me.

The ball then magically turned itself into a full-sized P-90. With no quick breath at all, I saw Dragon shooting the first guard. I followed the lead and shot the second guard with my right arm.

“Alright, lets get the fuck out of here,” said Dragon with a hoarse voice.

When we were in the middle of the way to the exit of the dungeon, we saw a mis103983094824095

“Alright, lets get the fuck out of here,” said Dragon in a hoarse voice.

“Here’s the plan:

We’re stuck down here until we find a way up there, meanwhile there's no way we're going to be able to go back up that staircase.I know this castle inside and out. These old dungeons are right next to the crystal caves. We can blow right through them. They will lead right to Celestia's chambers where she will probably be located. Fire, you are are now going to use your UAV keep those fuckers at bay and keep Celestia trapped. Dragon, you will use your ammunition power to proportionate ammo to yourself and to us. I will supply the weapons for the assault. Once we trap Celestia, let me do the talking, I need to explain the situation to her. After that’s finished, we will surrender to them, yes, surrender. That is where we need our luck handed out to us. “ I explained the battle plan to be executed.

“Any questions?”

“No,” said Dragon and Fire in unison.

“Okay, let’s move.”

After some seconds, I clearly heard Fire moan in pain as he dropped his P90.

“What the hell?” I asked.

“His arm, Blitz, it’s really fucked up,” replied Dragon.

“Why didn’t you tell me about that before?” I asked, “Don’t move, okay. It’ll hurt a lot but you’ll heal,” I said as I quickly rummaged through my first aid kit. In this bag, I had a nano tissue repair unit, real helpful shit. The unit started to reconstruct his pale skin tissue by tissue.

“Egh,” Fire grimaced at the pain.

“Hold on, it’s nearly done,” I said.

A loud beeping noise marked the completion of the healment.

“You’re ready, now,” I continued.

I glanced at my left, revealing a gasping soldier. His jaw was hanging in amazement at the event.

“Amazed, eh?” I boasted, “You don’t always find one of those.”

“Thanks Blitz,” Fire said, placing his hand on my shoulder.

“Let’s get the hell out of here. Guards are comi-”

“THOU SHALT OPEN THIS DOOR, 'TIS INSTANT!” The Princess of the Night commanded in Royal Canterlot voice as she and her platoon of guards were smashing at the barricaded door at the top of the staircase.

“FIRE, THE UAV NOW!!!” I yelled.

“Right on it!”

He was now controlling the UAV and saw Celestia in her room with a couple of guards getting ready to go down to the dungeon to capture them again. He then saw Luna trying to break the door down along with various Lunar guards. The rest of the guards that were outside the castle, reached incredible amounts with more than 100 guards converging on our location. Some unicorn guards had fixed the bridge, but the damage to the some of the walls were still very bad. Ponies were up in the city of Canterlot wondering what the hell was going on.

Fire saw his golden chance. He loaded up the missiles with Tear gas and launched them onto the Castle and the city of Canterlot.

“It’s done,” Fire said

“We’re going to need Gas masks,” I heard Dragon uttering.

“Like if that shit was easy,” I told them.

I proceeded to form four orbs, then a fifth one was created. However, the fifth one was slightly larger than the other ones.

The four small ones turned into advanced gas masks, three of which seemed comfortable for a human head. The fourth gas mask had various openings. The last orb turned into a M79 Grenade launcher. I quickly put the fourth gas mask on my belt.

“What’s the last gas mask for?” asked Fire.

“You’ll see,” I replied. “Engage any hostiles within the range of 10 meters. Don’t kill them, if they approach any of us, dart ‘em up.”

“We don’t have any darts, Commander,” said Fire.

“Look back at your gun,” I said.

“Niice,” Dragon and Fire exclaimed as they verily examined their customized guns.

“Put gas masks on.

…

Now! “

We all put the masks on and I directed Dragon to shoot the top of the staircases with the grenade launcher. He nodded in approval and proceeded to shoot the oval shaped grenades at the door.

*Click*

*BOOM!*

“Y’know. There are times I fucking envy you, Dragon,” I said as I saw my comrade shooting the single shot grenade launcher multiple times. “Fucking element of yours.”

I heard Dragon giving a slight chuckle at my statement.

The staircase and door was no more just a pile of rubble.

“That should get them for a while,” Dragon said.

“C’mon, over here!” I directed my comrades to a nearby cell. The gas was already spreading across the tall shaped room. “Hurry up!”

We proceeded to Cell #116 and #115.

“What now?” asked Fire, his voice being distorted by the mask.

“Cover my sides,” I ordered.

“Roger,” Fire replied.

I started knocking on the dungeon’s smooth walls. I knew there was something behind there.

*Knock*

*Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick*

The wall seemed to be hollow.

“Dragon, right there SHOOT!”

He took a quick aim and fired at the wall 5 times

*BOOM*

*BOOM

*CLICK...BOOM*

The last grenade went straight through the manhole sized hole, and straight into some crystals that shattered into millions of other tiny glowing crystals.

We made our way through the cave.

It was truly amazing, the color was remarkable. The shiny crystals covered almost every corner of the cave. Most of them glowing in faint purple. Just one of those rocks could have easily made us the richest men on earth... that is, if it existed still.

“Is that the door?” I ask as Fire takes a look at his wrist.

“Yeah, it’s right there. She is about to leave the last guard on patrol, it’s now our chance to get her!” said Fire.

“Here’s the new plan, tranquilize any guards you encounter, any. We don’t need to kill more of those fuckers anymore. Once they’re gone, I’ll have my little speech with Celestia. Adjust your masks and ready your weapons!” I ordered.

“Roger,” said Dragon and Fire in unison.

“That’s how we roll.”

I took a grip on one last gas grenade I had. Taking the safety pin off, I immediately ordered Dragon to shoot the wall.

Dragon fired the grenade launcher at the door, making it burst into pieces. The explosion catched their guards off. With a quick reflex, I threw the smoke grenade inside the room, enclosing it in a yellow cloud in seconds.

The hole we made through the wall was really high, taking in count the height below us. We quickly jumped down.

“Fire, take right corner, Dragon get the left one,” I told them.

They took their positions regarding my orders.

I started my way into the throne room.

“Crap, man! They’re approaching from the tunnel we came in!” exclaimed Dragon.

“Get them,” I said, “Use the fucking darts on them.”

In a quick glance behind me, I saw two pegasi guards coming down the hole.

“Princess!” exclaimed one of them, they quickly found themselves paralyzed with a rain of tranquilizers. I gave a chuckle at such view. I started to hear the violent coughs of the many guards inside the room

Fire and Dragon continued to hold the hordes of guards coming through the tunnel.

“Dragon! Need some ammo over here!”

“Fuck, fine.” said Dragon in frustration, dropping some clips to his comrade at his left.

“Thanks.”

The sounds of the bullets could be heard across the throne room. In the same moment, I started to hear a faint cough behind the throne chair. In one minute, all of the guards were down on the floor, laying unconscious.

Focused on my objective, I started approaching the location where the Princess was.

“ *cough cough* ….Oh *cough* Where are you!? *cough * show yourselves!” Celestia yelled in horror as she saw an approaching figure in front of her.

“Celestia.” I muttered from long distance.

“B-Bl-litz...” Celestia said in a series of coughs. In a couple of seconds, the white alicorn fell unconscious.

“Your Majesty, wake up!”

In an instant, Celestia opened her eyes, searching everywhere for the source of the voice. She found her face covered by a weird looking mask, covering her muzzle and eyes; small openings let her horn, ears, and mane pass through freely.

She was expecting to see a guard of her own, but was surprised to see the Prisoner she had just ordered in the dungeon not that long ago, standing before her, with a gun pointed at her head.

She immediately tried to use her magic to have him tranquilized, but nothing happened.

START OF TRANSMISSION...

“Ow, my head!” I said out loud, “Wait a second... What’s this?”

I was looking back at the wreckage of the hind.

“My God,” I said as I got up off the ground. I quickly ran over to the disemboweled wreckage. I did not see Dragon in the helicopter. I took a swift glance to my left, looking everywhere for my comrade Blitz. He was supposedly piloting the huge helicopter, he needed to be there. He wasn’t neither in the hind or outside the hind...

“Where is he?” I asked myself as I continued searching the crashed helicopter.

I found Dragon’s shotgun on the passengers’ seat. I quickly grabbed it, getting a little suspicious at the fact that neither of my two comrades were inside the mortalized helicopter. I immediately knew that Blitz and Dragon were taken away, they wouldn’t leave here alone... someone or something must’ve taken them away while I was knocked down.

I took a glimpse to my surroundings. The only thing that I saw was a vast expanse of desert at my 12 and a lot of sand dunes behind me. Even more sand to my left and to the right, some mountains in the horizon. The mountains seemed to be about thirty kilometers from my current position, it would be impossible to reach that destination, knowing where I exactly was. I continued walking around the wreckage some more to see if I missed anything, and it so happens that I found weird markings on the sand.

I started to follow the strange markings. They had a oval shape and they had some kind of bump on the sides of them. So I continued the search until the desert winds had blown the prints away.

“Fuck it, I should’ve missed something...''

I decided to go back to the wreckage, for the last time.

I slided the door to the side, throwing a gust of sand on my head. I took various looks around at the already destroyed apparatus. Ignoring the heavy and sandy wind behind me, I noticed that the weird looking machine that was on the back of the helicopter, before we teleported into a huge wormhole, was no longer there. Apparently, Blitz never talked to me nor Dragon according to exactly what that machine was. I immediately remembered that I should be in Equestria right now. I tried to celebrate the fact, but no happiness came to my mind, knowing that my two best friends were gone. This time, I found a little container with a door in it. I opened it, hoping to find something useful.

What I found nearly amazed me. There was a diary accompanied with various pictures and what seemed to be, a map. I snatched the diary and hid it in one of my various pockets.

I found myself opening that small map, revealing what I could tell, a map of the land of Equestria.

I took various looks into the burnt map. I quickly recognized two specific locations on it: Ponyville and Canterlot. A spark of cheer fired inside my body, already knowing those two locations. I took a look into the map again, revealing my current location. I was on the deserts of Appaloosa.

“Damn,” I said, while taking off my heavy helmet, revealing my face into the world. I then decided to take the Juggernaut suit off. I did a stupid thing though, that suit was like fucking invincible armor with a lot of layers of kevlar, and a layer of steel in it.

In the hind, I found a new suit. It was a camouflaged vest and pants with the elbow and knee pads. Luckily it was desert storm camo and it had the same color as the dull sand surrounding me.

I then decided to exit the helicopter and start to follow my new destination: Canterlot. I started to have a thought that maybe Celestia kidnapped my comrades and took them for experimentation or interrogation. Many thoughts came to my dark mind, but I tried to have only one in mind: Find my friends.

I finally stepped out of the chopper with Dragon’s shotgun in hand. I immediately came in contact with the hot sand. It sure was hot on that day, as I remember.

The radiant sun began to strike my body from almost every angle possible. Good thing I took Desert BWE goggles and The Boonie hat that came with it in the hind.

I continued my way onto Canterlot, still on the desert, many visions of my past home came to mind. Why am I here? Where is Blitz and Dragon? Did the world really end? Those were some of the questions I asked to myself, trying to make the time fly by.

About two hours after I left the hind, I was completely in middle of nowhere. Only sand, sand, and more fucking sand came to my line of sight. I looked to the left, more fucking sand , to the right, sand, in front... more sand. I even took a glance behind me, to see if I was close or far away from the crash, but, even more fucking sand to be seen. I quickly took out the map to see if I actually was going the right way. I decoded my current position and it seemed that I still was on the endless desert. I sighed and continued on my way...

The endless heat striked me and it continued to do until I finally found a place to hold back and relax for a while.

The location that I arrived at, was literally in the middle of nowhere. I took my map out and I quickly decoded that I was still in the desert. I still had to arrive to the nearest location possible: Appaloosa.

The building itself, was very desolated and eroded. It was practically some pile of ancient ruins in the middle of the desert.

There was a wooden door on the outside, blocking my path. I then remembered that I had Dragon’s shotgun and I quickly shot the rusty lock. I then proceeded to kick the door open, throwing gusts of wind inside the building.

The next thing that I saw left me with my mouth agape... The building, which I once thought that it was desolated, it was once converted into some kind of base in the endless desert.

Scrolls with weird inscriptions filled the room, maps with ‘hoof’ markings covered the iron walls. The floor was still composed of sand, which it annoyed me a bit.

I started to search the room for anything useful, but I only saw scrolls with some kind of symbols that I couldn’t encrypt, but there was one thing that I rather found useful.

I found, what I remember to be , Blitz’s golden revolver. Though he never used it back on Earth, he had it on one of his pockets (gun sheath). I inspected it, and on the side of the gun, it clearly had a marking on it; it said the following: EIA.

My senses went dark as I remembered Blitz mentioning the EIA back on Earth. “Ugh, he said it was some kind of Intelligence Service?” It was a service that he told us, but I didn’t remember it too well back then. I decided to keep the revolver for something that may be useful in the future.

I then found several maps with hoof prints on them. The marks indicated a anonymous spot that was close to Canterlot.

Most of the documents that I found there, were blacked out in ink and marked secret.

I noticed one document in particular. It was not marked secret and what I could tell, it was written in a hurry.

The letter consisted of the following,

“Fire... we’re being taken captive by Celestia's royal guards. Don’t worry about us though, we can easily handle it. Hell, I could even take out a whole battalion of guards without being seen, they have no idea that they are dealing with their future military commander. I left a Mongoose in the garage and maps about the future EIA bases. Celestia’s going to hold us captive in the castle’s dungeons under Canterlot. The cell’s number could possibly be 11█... Just make it to the castle as soon as possi-’’

As weird as it sounded, the rest of the document was blacked out completely in ink.

I put the document in my pocket and looked for the garage that Blitz was talking about.

I found a door but it was locked, so I grabbed Dragon’s shotgun and shot it several times. It opened without a problem. I found the Mongoose and I quickly opened the garage door and rode off into the sunset.
