"Christ Almighty!What does it take to lose this guy?" Jake moaned as Ustanak's cargo platform caught up to theirs travelling at high speed

The horrifying creature gave a angry roar as the target was back in its sights, the hulking muscle was exposed as it's paling skin was melting away after the last encounter with jake ended with a fist fight until Ustanak was sent flying into the sea of lava below them followed by a explosive canister to the face. Flames burned through its mind as well as its mutated body, anything that could be remotely considered as facial features were blackened and melting together like soft clay, it's genetically altered heart straining to move the killing machine now exposed and glowing a sickly purple.The only incentive it moved on was the last order of mothering figure Karla Radames pushing the monster on as it suffered pain no human can endure.
The flames roared as they chased the 3 advanced beings through the tunnel as a deadly chase played out on the high speed platform.

Sherry made the call during the commotion shouting to her partner "Come on!We have to move further up!". They spurred into a rush crawling on their stomachs grasping onto every ledge they could as Ustanak followed in deadly pursuit.

Jake was just getting mad at his relentless chase from country to country berating the monster "Jesus, take the hint!" only to be met with a reply of a mechanical arm trying to crush him, Jake threw his weight to the side keeping one arm on a hold to avoid a painful death, after the creature brought it back to catch up jake quickly threw himself up and continued crawling parallel with sherry.

Sherry pushed her partner on with "Jake, keep going!" which was barely audible as another explosion rocketed through the tunnel.

They pushed on as the heat of the flames made their clothes stick to them as the white hot metal floor scratched at the front half of their bodies putting the pair in an excruciating agony. As they slowly approached a row of crates fastened to the platform jake hatched an idea, quickly calling to sherry "Hey!Check out the cargo, you thinking what I'm thinking?".

Sherry instantly caught on "I am now, come on!" she ordered.
As time ran short before the hunter was upon them they pulled themselves closer to the crate support and in synchronization with each other slammed the palm of their hands down with force on the button release. Without support the speed of the moving platform caused the crates to hurtle down, Jake and Sherry dodged them but Ustanak received a brutal barrage of heavy machinery raining down on him.

Jake looked down and enjoyed the monster getting a beating so he shouted down with a cocky attitude "Take THAT ASSHOLE!".

However it had minimal effect as the giant tumbled for only a few seconds until he regained a hold and looked jake in the eye replying with "GROOOOOOOARRRR!!" in a fear inducing noise which sent a shiver down the duo's spine. Before they could lose any more time another mad rush kicked off as flames crept up the platform and no one had an advantage.

After a few more seconds that felt like hours the partners had moved further up with Ustanak at their heels making a few more lashes at jake cutting it close each time, the climb was feeling vertical as the difficulty was grinding them down. Further up the elevator was a pile of stacked pipes, forcing their exhausted bodies on they pulled themselves up and brought the hands down on the button release, the top pipe slid from its place at the top of the pyramid of 6 but was caught by the large mechanical hand behind them, sherry tried to demoralise jakes predator "Enough Already!You're not getting him!". The abomination of science ignored her, struggling on while the pair turned to notice the release bar had become jammed, keeping one hand on the platform they raised their elbows and pushed down with great strength until the bar gave out. Suddenly 5 large steel pipes flew into Ustanak, crashing into the monstrosity while it was left vulnerable holding the first pipe up.

During the chaos jake taunted his stalker again swearing "One more for ya, you sack of shit!". As Ustanak tumbled it used the grappling hook arm attachment as a lifeline to avoid completely being devoured by the flames as they flooded the tunnel in a destructive force of nature, the intense heat washed over its body causing unimaginable pain, as the giant frame of muscles dangled it groaned and writhed as the anger within started building.

Unable to see their nemesis, Jake and Sherry kept clawing at the floor trying to make progress away from the growing flames when suddenly a shiver ran down their spines as a loud "GROOOOOOOARRRR" rang out from the erupting fires. The pair looked behind to find the source only to witness a charred abomination emerging from the flames like hells worst demon come to bring the apocalypse, propelling through the air it soared past them and turned around scraping along the platform smashing open a box causing a few guns to fly past jake while sherry saw one get lodged in the floor grate as Ustanak wrapped itself around the front bumper of the elevator. She cried out to her partner "Jake,look! A gun!"

Only to receive a comeback of "Well what are we waiting for?" in a subtle display of motivation.

With the only chance of escaping the nightmare they were facing being a 'Elephant killer' magnum stuck dangerously close to the ultimate killing machine pulling itself off the edge of the platform. They raced on a adrenaline rush surging through their veins as the most intense fight for 3 lives was rising to a climax, every second could lead to an instant death as the dangers of losing their vital grip, an explosion from the large fireball consuming them without mercy or any of the cruel methods Ustanak has planned once it has the advantage, having to move closer to the hideous figure was terrifying as it looked down at them with vile and hatred.

Finally they were within reach of the gun and Sherry was the first to grab it and point it at the monster who was focusing on her especially. As she kept one hand on the platform her aiming hand trembled unable to get a clear shot, quickly realizing the delay jake put his hand under hers giving her a steady aim. Looking into his eyes Jake said with a serious voice "This shit, ends, now.". Once again facing their nemesis they raised the gun looking at his glowing heart choosing that as its weak point. In retaliation Ustanak brought its arm into the air ready to bring down the final blow upon the two, in the last dramatic and climactic moment jake saw the gun hadn't fired yet and in what might have been his final word he shouted in adrenaline filled desperation "SHERRY!" When suddenly a gunshot sounded for only a moment the bullet stayed true and made the short journey into the creatures glowing heart.

Ustanak's body had a small collapse in reaction to the bullet but kept his hold on the platform. Jake and Sherry looked on in hope that this might finally be over but their faces showed complete despair as the abomination recovered from its wound, shaking off the pain like it was nothing roaring in complete madness and raising the large muscular arm to finish the pairs lives once and for all. Jake looked over at sherry while she was frozen in fear at the impending doom looming over them, hoping that her face would be the last thing he saw before it all went black. Then a noise drew his attention to what was happening in front of him, the deafening roar had faltered and turned into a choking noise as blood sprayed from all over Ustanak's body and the purple heart lost its colour as the arm hung in the air unable to carry out the last command. The life in its eye drained as it went limp and fell through the air once again disappearing into the flames of the raging furnace behind them, any sign of it ever being there was gone, no figure in the fire, no angry roars sounding through the tunnels, even the smell of its burning flesh and muscle had vanished.

The flames sent an explosion out making jake react by putting his arm over sherry in a protective motion as they both kept their heads down, after the heat washed over their backs jake looked behind to make sure it was safe he looked back to his partner as she was coping with the exhaustion from everything that had just happened, his voice was quiet but still audible over their surroundings, he spoke to her gently "You saved me..." Sherry turned to see his blue eyes looking into hers with a deep compassion, she could tell he wasn't being his sarcastic self, he was genuinely speaking from the heart. He continued "...you know that,don't you?" the moment was temporarily interrupted by another explosion sounding in the tunnel made them put their heads down in protection, after resuming their lock into each others eyes he gave a comfortable smile and softly said "thank you." Sherry returned the smile and looked at his hand on the grate putting her slender fingers over his gloved hand feeling comfort as light of day shone from the end of the tunnel.

She looked up and squinted after being in the dark underground for so long but felt the warmth of a sun bear down upon her encouraging a smile. Jake enjoyed every thought of reaching the end of this nightmare but as they got closer he noticed something wrong, the tunnel wouldn't be shaped with the end open and still slanted. He had a concern look which when sherry looked over to him and saw his expression she looked back to the light and realized what had made him uneasy. The platform kept moving at full speed as the light grew closer and a blue sky with white clouds became visible, Jake noticed a distortion around the edge of the tunnel opening but a moment later the platform flew from its tracks, for a few seconds there was peace as birds tweeted and leaves glided gracefully in the air.

Then Sherry thought to pull herself to the front of the elevator to assess the situation, her reaction was disbelief as they were hundreds of feet up in the air over a large mass of forestry "How can that be?We were nowhere near any forests!".

Jake heard her instructing her with concern "Why don't we worry about that if we survive the landing?", Sherry realized they had no control in mid air so continued looking at the landscape trying to recognise the country they had ended up in. A sudden green blur came out of nowhere hitting sherry in the shoulder,her grip slipped from the impact and she lifted into the sky.

Scared out of her mind she shouted out "JAKE!" quickly met with a response of a hand grabbing her arm, she slammed against the metal surface with a grunt before bouncing back causing jakes grip to slip holding onto her hand then just her fingers were all he could keep in his grasp.

He looked her in the eyes one more time shaking his head repeating the words "please don't go sherry,don't go.".

She didn't want him to sacrifice his life for hers knowing he'd let go of the platform for her given the chance so she reassured him gently "don't worry about me,I'll be fine." before opening her hand and began drifting further and further away from the man she had developed so many feelings for.

Jake stared longingly at the direction sherry disappeared from as if hoping some miracle could bring her back, "SHERRY! SHERRY! ARE YOU THERE?", no answer, "FUCK!" was all he could bring out as he banged his hand on the platform. He stayed motionless in complete concentration for a few seconds before regaining himself and making a solemn vow muttering under his breath "I will find you sherry. Nothing will stop me as god is my witness.". The cargo elevator had reached the highest point of its flight and gravity was pulling into a downward glide. The view of a tall colourful castle built on the side of a rocky mountain rose from the edge, jakes astonishment from the peculiar but beautiful sight didn't take long as it became obvious how quickly it seemed to be getting larger and larger. He sighed and tiredly remarked "This kind of thing never happened in edonia." before bracing himself for the impact.

2nd time I wrote the whole thing,probably for the best but I'll make proper notes and excuses in the next chapter for anyone still reading by then.Hope you enjoyed it!

First impressions

2:08 pm in the canterlot throne room:

A tan earth pony was enquiring to the princesses of the day and night who sat at the end of the hall on a pair of thrones raised higher then the rest of the room. Celestia commanded silence signified by raising her hoof into the air so she could give her answer, " Mayor mare, I know the escape of discord caused massive trauma and any property damaged or missing in ponyville as a result of chaos will be reimbursed by the Canterlot royal treasury but I will not grant your request for royal guards as a security force in the town. They were no match for discords power anyway". As she said this the 2 guards standing at their post by the throne shifted uncomfortably as their shortcomings were addressed.

"Furthermore" celestia continued, "If you still see crime as a problem then recruit a police force for ponyville but lack of crime rates to be above a minimal level that doesn't get resolved by the local residents means there's no need for canterlot to lower its military force and use funding to transport supplies.".

Mayor mare wasn't quick to take no for an answer "But!" was all she could splutter out cut off by another hoof being raised and her look while still understanding and caring had a hint of stern in it.

"It has been decided. There is no more to speak of." spoke celestia, nopony said anything for a few seconds but eye contact was locked.

Finally the silence was broken by luna "THOU REQUEST HAST BEEN DENIED!OURSELF AND OUR SISTER MUST CONCLUDE THIS MEETING, NOW BEGONE PONY!". The Earth pony eyes were wide open with shrunk pupils and mouth hung slightly agape from the shock.

Celestia brought her back to reality speaking again "I agree, guards please escort the mayor back to the canterlot train station, we're not accepting any more business proposals, thank you."

Both guards saluted in unison " Yes ma'am!" they walked on both sides of the mayor, she turned to face the door and started walking but took one more look at luna absolutely speechless.

Seeing the 3 ponies walk to the large throne room doors closing them leaving the 2 princesses by themselves, celestia turned to her sister with concern "Luna, times have changed and old equestrian has become an obsolete language, if you want to try and fit in this new time you should change your manner of speaking to one like mine, please say you will practice.", it hurt celestia to teach this to her sister as the guilt of being responsible for sending her to the moon for a thousand years wracked her.

Luna concentrated and managed a reply "I...will dear sister." Trying to pull off a reassuring smile but giving a painfully strained smile that trembled before snapping back to a frown.

Celestia admired her efforts and tried to instill comfort "luna, please..." she trailed off her as her eyes went wide, without warning a golden aura surrounded celestias horn and lunas body, next she was violently thrown across the hall sliding on the floor then hitting the doors with a thud.

The sudden blow slowed down her senses as she tried to groggily open her eyes attempting to stand up but falling down again her vision slowly returned seeing celestia still on the throne head bowed she struggled to get words out but as the sight disappeared when she blinked she looked up again to see the room had drastically changed. Celestia was nowhere to be seen the wall behind where the thrones used to be now had a large hole revealing blue skies in the horizon,dust clouds wondered aimlessly as the alien object laid in the middle of the floor, the dull gray metal was in stark contrast of the brightly coloured carpets and black and white checkered marble floors, covered and surrounded by rubble and parts of the Castle it had flown through.

She could hear muffled voices as her hearing was still damaged looking around guards had already arrived on the scene with different orders, some stood guard by luna as doctors tended to her injuries, others searched the rubble looking for anything that could have been buried, unicorn guards lifted large piles of stone while the pegasi teams monitored for any damaged pillars that needed reinforcement before the room suffered any more structural collapse. One more group of guards caught lunas eye as they were all pointing spears at a figure she could not see, desperate to understand the situation and to find what happened to her sister she called out ignoring doctors pleas for her to rest "WHAT CREATURE DARE ATTACK CANTERLOT CASTLE?". This got the guards attention for a second before returning their gaze to the unconscious body on the floor, two of the guards parted keeping spears pointed at the slump revealing a mammal just larger then luna in a black sleeved shirt, trousers and boots with black gloves showing 4 fingers and a thumb, it's features involved a small nose, round ears on both sides of its head and being completely bald except for a pair of dark eyebrows and short stubble like ginger hair on top. It's eyes stayed closed and life was indicated by a slow breathing, the shock of a unknown creature looking like it belonged to a whole undiscovered civilization was finally too much to take in and the princess of the night blacked out.

7:48pm the same day in the royal canterlot infirmary:

"Luna.....Luna...." a voice slowly started getting closer to her in her sleep "Luna...."

She smiled "Tia, is that you?".

There was a pause for a few seconds before the voice came back "Erm...no.", lunas eyes flew open and was met with a colt with bright blue fur and a mane of medium dark hair styled oddly looking down at her with a goofy smile. "Now don't panic,you're in the royal infirmary, I'm your doctor but you can just call me JD. But how weird would it be if I was celestia..." luna watched as the pony she was supposed to be in the care of drifted into a daydream for 12 seconds before snapping out it rambling "...that would be best game of basketball ever.".

The dread was building in luna until suddenly JD was pulled out of view and another unicorn colt with dark green fur and short ginger mane apologized "sorry your highness, I just asked him to take your blood pressure, if we left you with him he'd get you to play snooker with the moon.", he looked to his side and whistled "Hey frilly filly, next time you try something like that I will fire you into the evergreen forest with a catapult made from the malpractice lawsuits filed against you,also put that doctors coat back where you found it before somepony as stupid as you thinks you're an actual doctor.". Luna could hear clopping noises and then a door was shut, finally the doctor turned his attention back to her.

"Sorry again princess but I've got your scan results here." The doctor levitated a clipboard up to his face flipping through the pages, "There was quite some trauma to your spine, wings and legs and a concussion, everything else was cuts and scrapes healed up by our unicorn team with advanced spells.Naturally you need to rest if you want to make a quick recovery from this." Luna wasn't used to laying down as a leader should be in charge and constantly performing royal duties, even on the moon during the dark times she searched for resources, made plans for revenge upon her return and even carved her image onto the moon to instill fear upon those which used to be her subjects.

Now she was incapable of getting out of bed when the realization hit her "THE MOON!WE MUST RAISE THE MOON!", she wriggled and squirmed finding her movements restricted by bandages and sharp pains, the doctor put his forehooves on her chest holding her down taking care not to injure her further.

He tried talking between movements to stop her falling out of bed "Princess! Stop...struggling!It's..." a flailing leg knocked his jaw to the side making both of them still. Attempting to repress his anger he slowly put his forehooves back on the floor and spoke in a voice like a low growl, "Ok 1:that hurt, 2:Don't shout like that again, you'll burst the other eardrum my wife didn't destroy and 3:Celestia has a select group of unicorns trained to raise the sun and moon should something happen to her, okay?" but luna started moving about urgently again. Rolling his eyes he impatiently said "What now??".

She took note of his inappropriate behaviour to royalty for a second and remembered her question blurting out "Celestia?Where is she?".

The doctor looked to the ground with a sorrowful expression "All the rubble was cleared from the throne room but there was no sign of her.", then he looked back to luna "For now please get some rest, we can discharge you in a few days if your recovery stays on track.".

Luna recomposed herself and focused on her voice again. "Very well doctor, I will rest. Leave me so I can slumber." she huffed out in a annoyed tone.".

The doctor nodded and started walking out muttering under his breath "I'd love to board the first train out of this nuthouse."

A few hours later the Princess of the night lay awake in solitude, thinking about everything that had happened in a day. Her sister had disappeared, no clues as to whether she's even alive or dead, a whole new species, no civilization had presented themselves but it needs to be investigated whether this was a accident, a introductory custom or in the worst case scenario a invasion force meaning the royal guards should be informed to watch out for more attacks!But it was difficult to move in her injured state,She drifted into her mind so a plan could be made.

Author's Note

Right,this is my first fic,I'm writing it out on a blackberry tablet so it's a huge pain in the ass and if I get enough comments saying it sucks then I'll cancel it and try something else but I liked resident evil 6 and I thought jake was the perfect character to include in a story which surprised me not many other people have tried this,but I already have some good ideas and story arcs in mind as well as trying to see how certain episodes from seasons 2 and 3 would be different if he got involved, any and all feedback is appreciated as long as there's no immature stuff but for now I'll keep typing so enjoy!

The (not so) great escape

Jake stirred to consciousness, he could tell he wasn't lying down because his arms were hoisted in the air 'so I've been chained up another time' he thought. He pulled himself to his feet trying to make sure his legs weren't broken but he detected a whispering not too far away.

"Sir, he's waking up,what do we do?" One voice spoke with concern.

"Hold your post!It's not going anywhere." said another voice with confident authority.

Jake had regained his footing and looked up opening his eyes fast enough to make his captors flinch, he was in a small room but not a dungeon or dank prison cell like he was expecting,the walls were a dusty orange plaster while the floor was a dull white marble, if anything this was a hastily converted storage room, it was then jake realized instead of some j'avo soldiers in suits and masks with guns it was small horses in golden roman-like armor with spears looking at him with anxiety. Jake stood 7 feet away from them but guessed they were as tall as his shoulders, he met their gaze and stared at them for a few minutes making no facial expression.
He analyzed the situation he was in, this is the third time he had been captured since meeting sherry,nothing new there he thought. The ponies were new, maybe neo-umbrella has concocted some more creatures in their labs, he visualized a scientist coming up with the idea of ponies before being birch slapped in the face for being an idiot. 'actually that doesn't make much sense for them to have a army of ponies unless they plan on making the BSAA Laugh themselves to death. Then again that redfield guy could use a laugh, he looks as happy as a j'avo going to the opticians. Well if they think spears will stop me from getting out then they'll be disappointed, unless they got some hidden strength this shouldn't take too long.'.

During jakes thought process he forgot to take his powerful gaze off the guards, the one on the left grew nervous sweating under its armor and after 5 minutes trembled in fear up to the point where the only sound in the room was the Clanking of different plates of armor bouncing off each other. It's legs were wobbling as jake thought it would be interesting to concentrate his stare on it to see how far he can go. Eventually after another 7 minutes it snapped throwing the spear to the ground shouting "I ACCEPT OUR NEW MONKEY OVERLORDS!"

The other pony banged his spear on the ground furious "Silence Traitor!Pick up your weapon and maintain your post!Swear your allegiance to Celestia or you can share the cell with that creature!"

Jake looked on completely bewildered, he thought it'd be funny to mess with some dumb animals but never in a million years did he expect it to talk! He laughed in disbelief which drew their attention to him. "Oh this is hilarious, did you get some ventriloquist or were these little guys trained to hold their little spears and pretend they're talking?Hey when I break out of here can I take one with me?It'll make a great gift for my girlfriend!" Jake tried looking behind him to see where the true soldiers were but found a wall right behind him. "So you want me to come to you huh?Well I hope you've warmed the fire!" Jake called out to no one in particular.

The guards watched his strange outburst with confused expressions, the larger guard barked out in frustration "You are not going anywhere!You will stay here until the princess recovers enough to conduct an interrogation!" but this only let a snigger escape jakes mouth.

Jake recomposed himself and looked at the chains holding him back then responded to the ponies command "yeahhhh,no." and with little effort pulled one chain hard enough to rip it off from its fixture at the wall then done the same with the other causing a large chunk of plaster to fall with it, he looked back to the ponies who were in shock and asked "so which of you has the key to these?" waving his shackles in the air.

The younger pony in a state of panic looked to his superior officer then back to jake then back to his commander pointing at him with his hoof shouting out "HE DOES!!" then quickly bolted out the room through the door. The other pony was speechless but stood in front of the door feigning courage.

The light gray stallion kicked his back leg to shut the door. "You want to get out of here monster?Well you'll have to get through me!" Determined but still shaking in his voice. He pointed the spear at jake and crouched into a battle stance.

Jake looked down at his opponent slightly bemused, he looked up slightly and remembering their conversation earlier pointed at the door asking "Is that your princess celesteeya there?"

The colt looked behind him eagerly thinking he had just gained the advantage in this confrontation because nothing can beat the princess of the sun. "Princess I..." However his heart dropped as the crushing realization that he was the only pony in the room and he had just turned his attention away from the remarkably strong being that moments ago ripped bare metal off the wall with just the strength in its arms. Before it was too late he tried to raise his weapon but instead was greeted by a hand striking the side of his head with the palm launching him into the wall and leaving him out for the count.

Jake looked at the animal that acted like a strong captor simply stating "I can't believe you fell for the oldest trick in the book!Then again I could probably trick you with a carrot on a fishing line." he walked over to the unconscious pony and checking its armor found a compartment with a key in it. He calmly unlocked his shackles and let them clatter to the ground quickly rubbing his wrists to check for damage "Those were the most awkward handcuffs ever,and I speak from experience!Did they not have any in my size?" having a quick glance at the unconscious guard he continued "Tough crowd, I wonder where they locked me up this time?" Looking around the room jake found what he was looking for, a window close to the ceiling. Without much effort he pulled himself up and stared out through the glass, but almost lost his grip when he noticed the ground was miles below him to the point where clouds blocked parts of the green fields visible in the distance. "What the FUCK?First they take me to china,then to the bottom of the goddamn ocean and now in some kind of floating sky base!What next a fucking volcano??" as he said the last sentence he punched the wall making a few cracks in the plaster. " You know what I'm out of here!" he stormed towards the door stopping halfway to point at the guard with laboured breath "As for you....Find another job."

He kicked the door open with impatience and looked down the long corridor ahead of him, there was a blue carpet with a purple rug in the middle travelling down and around the corner to the left. The room was broken up by marble columns reaching the ceiling with patterned blue wallpaper in between. But there was one thing missing, guards, ponies, j'avo or otherwise it was silent with no movement. Jake could handle the noise and intensity of battles with gunfire, explosions,screaming and more but silence?That didn't sit right with him. He tested for a reaction "Hellloooooooooooooo!Hereeee pony pony pony!" however his subtle display of scouting got no answer.

Jake started to stroll down with a newfound confidence "Maybe this place ain't so ba-" a large flash of light filled the room pushing him back instinctively putting his arms in front to shield his eyes but kept footing while the rug underneath him slid back with him on it. He threw his arms up in the air and angrily shouted "Seriously?Who throws flash grenades like that??".As his vision cleared the figure cleared up to be another large pony, but this one was different, it was as tall as jake, had dark blue fur, no armour but a dark crown and styled horseshoes of some kind, it had a horn on its forehead and wings on its back that looked physically attached as well as some sort of cosmic collaboration of stars in the style of a mane on its head and in place of a tail and it's eyes were complete white, yet one thing was obvious to see, it was Royally pissed off.
Jake shook his head at the next unfortunate victim to stand in his path "Oh man, neo-umbrella done one hell of a job on you twinkle toes!" but got a dramatic response.

The creature bellowed out at top volume causing jake to cover one of his ears "FOUL CREATURE!THOU DARE MOCK ROYALTY AFTER WREAKING DAMAGE UPON OUR LIVING QUARTERS?WHAT HAST THOU DONE WITH OUR SISTER?"

"Wow do you shout at your mother with that mouth?"he retorted "I don't know who your sister is,where I am or who you are, also why are you talking like there's more then one of you?Have you got more guards you're trying to alert?Do you hear voices in your head?Because you should probably get that checked out."

His choice of words caused a large reaction from the alicorn, her wings flexed out as she lifted herself off the floor, seething in fury she shouted again but jakes response was only to squint one eye this time "THOU DAREST MAKE QUIPS ABOUT OUR MOTHER?SUCH INSOLENCE!WE SPEAK THIS WAY AS TIS OUR NATURAL TONGUE AND IF THOU SHALL MAKE FALSE CLAIMS ABOUT THE WHEREABOUTS OF OUR SISTER THEN PERHAPS A TORTURE SPELL WILL REVEAL THE TRUTH OF YOUR TRUE INTENTIONS!"

She lowered her head aiming it like a weapon at jake and squeezed her eyes shut in a state of concentration.The long horn glowed with a blue field surrounding it culminating into a white ball with green crackling energy at the tip, Jake just huffed in a disappointed tone, "you know I'm starting to think maybe there are no ventriloquists around here which means maybe I should go get checked out." The spell interrupted his thoughts as the ball as large as his hand flew out at a fast speed. Jake narrowly dodged it putting his back to the closest wall on his left. The ball continued on its course bouncing off the carpet once and hitting the door he had walked through earlier, needless to say the result was devastating.
On the carpet it dissolved through a few inches of matting and revealed floorboards underneath but the door received the worst of it. At first the dark oak had turned a lighter shade but in the middle of the impact area a small hole appeared letting in light from the window room but slowly opened up showing the damage from jakes escape. Eventually the door was no more as the hinges hung loosely and the metal handle fell from its lock and clattered onto the ground stirring the guard laying on the floor "Uh..wha?Did we win?" he turned to see jake but also the princess of the night hovering in the air with mad eyes. Not wanting to get involved the guard slowly got up and backed away from the door out of sight, he peeked once more to see if they were going to continue what they were doing but they watched him so he backed away again "Right sorry,sorry..."

Jake looked back to his attacker and pointed at where the guard was standing with a sarcastic look but shook his head and moved on "Whatever, but WHAT The FUCK was that just now?What are you trying to melt my skin off to see what tasty candies are inside me?Do I have a target on my head saying 'shoot me'?Tell you what get me some red paint and I'll give you something to shoot!"

The dark pony looked down at him and with a condescending attitude shouted out again "THOU IS NO MATCH FOR US, WE ARE THOUSANDS OF YEARS IN AGE, WE HAVE EXPERIENCE IN COMBAT AND WE HAVE MASTERY OF FLIGHT AND MAGIC,WHAT DOES A PATHETIC CREATURE LIKE THOU HAVE?"

Jake smirked and clenched his fists "I've got a dad you'd never want to meet."

Author's Note

Okay aaaaaand we're back with jake, it's been a little while and I'm sorry but I quite unexpectedly got a full time job,but I love this story and I wish I could write it faster to get to the events later on, I'll try where I can I promise that. Besides next chapter is going to be a fight scene, should be interesting plus I might get a laptop soon which could make typing out my ideas a lot faster.Let me know your thoughts on what needs improvement! Grats folks!

Fight Night (Part 1)

Jake burst into a mad dash, arms and legs moving drastically to close the distance, after the first 2 steps the princess fired 3 rapid blasts of energy balls in 3 different trajectories making it difficult to avoid. Stopping to dodge would give her time to fire more or larger ones, in the narrow corridor there was no cover and no telling what the effect of getting hit by one of those would do. Two were on the path to his shoulders, one at stomach height in the middle of the corridor and all flying one after the other inches apart. Jake planned out his next few movements trying not to think of what unknown risk he was running into, then he was staring at them up close as he had a fraction of a second to make his move or be out of the fight before it even begins, now or never.

Jake took a large step to the left slamming his shoulder into the wall as the first energy ball on the right flew past but missing its target hit the door frame and dissolved with a pop. Unharmed jake pushed his left arm against the wall as his legs resumed their pace for half a second before the next ball required his attention, aimed at his centre body and as big as his head meaning dodging to the side would slow him down or leave his side exposed. He couldn't make a compromise so he let both legs loosen up sticking his right leg out and dropping himself to the floor landing on his back still moving along the carpet, it still wasn't enough so he turned his head to the side where one ear felt the smooth wool carpet as the other ear heated up as the crackling energy ball nearly burst his eardrum as it washed over the right temple but not close enough to make contact.

Now one was left and then his opponent would be 10 feet away if he kept up the pace which he could reach in 2 seconds, safe to get up jake put his right foot down still in motion,bent his knee,put his left foot down, pushed himself off the floor then from a crouching position straightened his right knee like a pouncing tiger but used the momentum to put his left leg out front and return to a running motion to meet the last energy ball.
However as jake prepared to dodge it the princess of the night used her magic to change its direction and properties, instead of travelling in a path it now bounced erratically off the walls essential making a barrier with its random direction changes. Jake had one last trick up his sleeve though, although the narrow corridor didn't allow for dodging it would allow for a maneuver someone as acrobatic as jake could pull off. Before he reached the wall of energy, Jake lowered himself back to a crouching stance but this time launched himself up and putting his right foot on the wallpaper started an ascent quickly repeating the process step by step. Almost reaching the high ceiling after a few seconds the energy ball didn't reach that high so he kicked himself forward and laid his arm and leg against the wall as he descended from a 50 foot high position to avoid falling too rapidly. Jake had to time this perfectly otherwise he could break his legs upon hitting the ground or stumble off balance and give his opponent the opening to finish the fight.

Seeing the monster closing in, Luna took a few steps back and fired a lightning bolt at where she predicted he would move to, however to her dismay it pushed its arm and leg off the wall and with a few feet to go before landing kicked a leg against the opposite wall and landed back on the floor with a huge THUMP! The last ditch lightning bolt attempt had struck the wall and caused a load of plaster and cement to fall out, the creature held its left hand out and caught some dust and pebble sized chunks and in a punching motion, clenched its fist and threw it forward but even though luna was 7 steps out of range the fist opened, it never planned to strike from that distance, instead throw the plaster to blind her temporarily. The princess turned her head to give her less time to be unaware of the fight then lose her eyesight and focus on magic, after she felt the rocks crash into the back of her neck causing minimal damage she turned her attention back to the fight only to be stunned by the sight before her.

Jake had to improvise his jump timing to dodge that last attack but this was what he was expecting, he managed to avoid all her attacks and close the distance between the two meaning his opponent had reached the state he wanted, desperation. After landing that last stunt jake was smug and showed off with turning that last attack into a counter attack giving him momentary advantage, by the time it turned around jake had ran up to it an Olympic winning speed and it was inches away as jake stared into two large eyes bewildered with fear. Without a gun he had no long range attacks but at point blank range he had a variety of bare hand fighting moves to choose from, he brought his right foot up just missing the side of the princess's face, she flinched as a gust of air flew by her but after a few seconds opened her eyes and saw Jake with a leg held over her head, he gave a smile as he brought his foot down with the power of a falling meteor.
The princess's head crashed into the floor and a loud SNAP Sounded through the corridor upon impact while her body and legs lifted upwards by a few inches, a tooth rolled out of her mouth in a smooth trickle of blood as the legs went limp and were splayed across the carpet. Jake looked at the body before him panting for a few seconds before catching his breath, satisfied with his victory signified by his unmoving opponent he nudged the form with his foot to no reaction, he remarked "Maybe you should check your spell books for a magic that stops you from getting your ass handed to ya" and smiled at his own wisecrack.

Stepping Around the unconscious body and making his way to the end of the corridor things were looking up as jake now found some worthy foes capable of wielding magic but not strong enough to last a bout with him. Almost reaching the corner jake examined the painting directly in front of him. It was a depiction of a white alicorn with a pastel mane firing a magic blast in the form of a rainbow at a dark alicorn but different then the one he just fought,the fur was darker, the eyes were cat-like and fierce and she had a bright blue chestplate and helmet but jake noticed the mark on its flank, a dark splatter with a crescent moon, he spoke in a suspicious tone "Hey that looks like...." and paused for a moment as he realized where he had just seen that picture, a slow swirling noise that started off quiet but gradually built in volume sounded behind him. Jake had already figured out what it was before he turned around, "Aw FUCK!"

For anyone that didn't see the comment I put up earlier this week,it's part 1 because I'm going to write all future chapters on my new laptop instead of my tablet that makes typing slower and more awkward, there's only going to be 1 more part on this fight scene until it returns to story mode,I have it planned roughly but I might improvise like I did for this at the end. Again thanks for taking the time to read this, I hope you like it and any constructive criticism would be appreciated, thanks!

Fight Night (Part 2)

Jake took a half step back and let his head fall to the side in a annoyed manner, he was frustrated that this battle was going to take longer then he hoped it would but the sight caught his interest as it unfolded before him. The pony he left bleeding on the floor was slowly being lifted into the air stopping a few feet over the ground, looking closer it became apparent that dark tentacles had wrapped around it's legs like snakes creating a black bubbling mist from the ground they were extending from. Rotating the princess into an upright position, her head slumped down almost like she wasn't aware this was going on, the tentacles brought her back to the floor but as her head rested on the ground the dark mist covered her legs like a black coat of paint, it traveled up her body making disgusting slithering and moaning noises as it made its poisonous infection. As it climbed up her neck after covering the rest of the legs and tail the pony's head shot up with large white eyes lacking pupils, the tar like substance coated her face and blocked out the light in her eyes covering her ears and finally coming to a stop at the tip of the horn. Jake looked on at the spectacle as nothing moved reminding him of the chrysalids he encountered back in china, he walked up to it thinking he has about 20 seconds before it erupts saying to no-one in particular "You know that reminds me of some statues I've seen, they were usually temporary because i blew 'em up though." He stopped before to look at where its face would be examining it "How about one more for old times sake huh?" he shrugged.

Before Jake could start his assault on the inanimate object he heard a dripping noise, he looked around until he noticed the dark layer around the pony was melting into a puddle underneath it. Jake pointed at the puddle and joked "Shouldn't they have checked if you were house trained before letting you on the carpets?" cracking a smile. But the substance kept on falling until there were large lumps of the black sludge coming off, underneath a dark black coat began to show and a more hazy version of the cosmic mane and tail phased out into an wavering motion, the horn grew a few inches into a spear like shape and the ears formed a pointed tip, the wings suddenly shot out into an erect stance flicking the last of the tar on its body against the wallpaper and showing they also had pointed tips and were more like the wings of a bird of prey, finally the face was the last to be uncovered but they were closed as the tar now remained on the floor in a pool around its hooves dissolving the threads in the carpets but not hurting its legs. The substance cleared to reveal its eyes were still shut but the head had raised and was facing directly at him, Jake arched an eyebrow unsure of what will happen next, his questions were answered as the eyes snapped open revealing two cyan irises and black slits for pupils with purple eyelashes lining around, he watched as the eyes settled on him giving off a extremely uncomfortable feeling. After a few seconds he decided to break the tension with words,"...So when your horn grew, does that mean you like what ya see?" not the best choice of words however.

"PERVERTED ABOMINATION!" it bellowed as it sent a blast from its horn too quick for jake to avoid but the effect only knocked him through the air and sent him rolling along the floor, he quickly pulled himself off the floor and got ready to fight again raising his fists and preparing to charge again. The creature gave a demand as tensions raised "RELINQUISH UNTO US OUR SISTER AND THOU SHALL BE SPARED THY PITIFUL LIFE!WHAT SAY YOU MONSTER?"

Jake shook his head with a smile and spoke in a condescending tone "Why she's in the magical land of rumpahump where she's getting served lollipops and candy canes by little fairy waitresses!" making wiggling motions with all his fingers.

He wasn't prepared for its response though, the creature pointed its hoof at him and bellowed out "VERY WELL THEN!TAKE US THERE!"

This left Jake dumbstruck over what he had just heard, this place seemed a bit cartoony but to believe a story like that you'd think they go somewhere like that on a regular basis, still now he'll have to roll with it. "Erm yeah, but first the...mayor of....toffee apples says you will have to defeat me to....get to...." jake paused as he couldn't believe the crap he was saying,he put his head in his hand in a painful facepalm and looked at the princess again "...whatever just bring it!"

The dark horse burst into a full gallop down the corridor pointing its long sharp horn at Jake's chest, he could easily counter this by timing it right and using it's momentum to throw it and send it into a wall followed by some attacks of his own. As it got close he was looking down at the round spike headed for his heart he reached forward to grab its head but he couldn't, its mane and tail consumed it's body into a cosmic fog that flew harmlessly around jakes fist and his body and collected itself behind him. As he turned around it regained a solid form and stepped out of the cosmic aura surrounding it, almost wearing them like a cloak. It stood there facing him as he tried to make sense of what had just happened, he wore a stern expression while his opponent looked on at him calmly but with spite and malice in those haunting eyes.

Jake made the first move this time quickly breaking into a straight path to the creature sides stepping every now and again in case of more magical attacks but none came, the dark figure stood there unmoving apart from tracking his motions with those cat-like eyes. Jake assumed she was underestimating him, that she could simply dodge at the last second but if he could pull off an attack she wasn't expecting he could take her off-guard, although to be fair he was never a tactical thinker as much running straight into the fray strategy. He ran straight up to his rival but putting his right foot down to halt his momentum he crouched down on that leg and brought his other leg out straight into a sweeping arc in front of him while he span on his right heel, he made a full spin before stopping himself facing in the same direction and prepared his next attack holding his hand in a martial arts style to strike forward but aiming for where he expected her face to be he was stunned as the monster had not moved from its original stance, he looked at it's legs where he thought should have been buckled under from the leg sweep tactic but they were a floating cosmic mist that slowly reformed into two slender legs completely untouched from his attack. Jake looked back at the pony now starting to show a condescending look in addition to the hatred erupting from the slitted pupils, considering his options and what he had already tried he had succumbed to the state he had his opponent in earlier, desperation or in his case, pissed off. Fists were flying and rapid attacks to the head and body were all he could manage, every blow just caused an area to turn into a starry mist before reforming into its original shape, he even tried swinging kicks at its face and tackling it in a full body check but fell through it like there was nothing there. He stood up but bent over with his hands on his knees panting from using so much stamina at once on one enemy to no avail while the creature slowly turned around looking down on him once more. he tried to speak between breaths "Ya know....i've never really....fought any kind of.....fart gas before....haha"

This struck the wrong cord with the nightmare though "THOU DARE CLAIM OUR COSMIC HAZE OF BEING FLATULENCE?THY SHALL KNOW A PAIN LIKE NO OTHER!" After making her threat she transformed into a mist once again and flew straight at Jake, as she approached the cloud became a tornado circling around him before he could move out the way with the low energy he had barely enough to defend himself, as the corridor became difficult to see out of he tried to move through the wall but was shoved back much to his confusion, suddenly the tornado tightened around him and a barrage of hooves coming from different directions at different heights simultaneously started beating him relentlessly, through the pain Jake tried to open is eyes and watched during the beating as a face floated in the raging wind with dark eyes as if waiting for him to reach a breaking point, he pushed himself towards it but the beating intensified making him fall to his knees as he knelt over with his arms around his head in the most defensive position he could manage. As he tried to cope with the unending flurry of attacks a horn moved slowly from the haze aimed at his back, Jake would have no idea that his life could come to an end at the point of a Alicorn's horn.

Suddenly a light exploded from the end of the corridor blowing away the dark hurricane leaving a tired and bruised figure slumped in a kneeling position almost at the brink of consciousness, the nightmare reformed itself a few feet away half blinded from the sudden light angrily shouting "WHO DARES STAND IN THE WAY OF OUR VICTORY?". A lone figure slowly walked from the light coming into focus gradually revealing a bright, sparkling and beautiful mane, a long and majestic horn, a flawless white coat and long slender legs and a caring, inspiring look that betrayed an expression of troubled and sorrow. The dark alicorn shed a tear and had a quivering lip as the figure looked from the damaged figure still huddled up towards her and softly spoke "Sister, what have you done?"

Author's Note

Theeeeere we go,fight scenes can be difficult to keep interesting when put in words but ultimately it comes down to the readers imagination, i don't blame you if you didn't find it interesting but what i'm saying is even with a very poor written piece, someone with a big imagination could imagine it perfectly in their head and vice versa. Well back to the story and other ideas, I'm written about 3 days of writing within less then a day, very happy with this. Also i had today off work without interruptions and i'm experimenting with capture cards and video editing software so i worked on this while it uploads. Again thanks for anyone reading this far, any positive feedback about improvements that could be made would be gratefully accepted.

Re-Introductions

"Whats his condition?" a gruff voice sounded into jakes perception, his sight was hazy and dark as blurs motioned past his field of vision. He felt he was in motion lying down facing up although he wasn't moving any part of his body.

Another female voice piped up "Bone fractures, internal bleeding, bruising, his eyes are open although unresponsive but i can't be sure."

The first voice came back annoyed "What do you mean you're not sure nurse?The patient is right here, are your eyes 'unresponsive'?" A nurse, jake was concerned about what was happening now, usually he could shake off his injuries, keep fighting on or take some herb tablets if he was feeling run down but now he couldn't move or speak but struggle to stay conscious.

The voice he guessed as the nurse's came back back stating "Well look at him, how do we know if his biology is anything like a ponies?How do we know he doesn't breathe in water like a fish?"

An awkward silence lasted for a few seconds until the first voice grudgingly backed down "Good point. Well he's breathing steadily so assuming he has lungs we need to put him in a recovery room and monitor his condition, we can't do much else until he wakes up."

After a few more motions of what jake could only assume was a hospital bed being wheeled through some corridors he finally stopped moving, some voices talked in the background but the words couldn't make any sense. He didn't care anyway, he was trying to regain his focus and escape from there beating up as many enemies on the way out as possible. He waited for the voices to go away and after a few minutes he tried to move his arms to hoist himself up but got no response from his body, he tried to lift his head but nothing happened. Options were limited but he knew the basic medical procedures for injury on the battlefields. His only options were to stay awake and hope it clears up or rest and try get his strength back, after all he has had a rough day and the last time he slept was after a large boot came down on his face and knocked him out. Although it wasn't something he liked doing, jake ignored the war paranoias he had about letting his guard down because whoever brought him here could have killed him in this state if they wanted to,trying to ignore his bruises took a few minutes until finally he allowed himself to drift into unconsciousness.

"Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake...." Jake shot up from the bed looking for the source of the unusual voice that somehow knew his name. Everything was black but he still spun his head around searching.

"Who's there?How do you know my name?Show yourself!" His reaction was more of a demand then a greeting but the voice didn't respond. He waited a few more seconds before losing interest but remaining vigilant, he came back to his realization of the current situation "Aw fuck, i think I'm blind." He looked around seeing nothing but blackness, it was all around him, it was above him but when he looked down he could see his body and the bed he had just sat up on, the floor was a non-existant like the black void all around him, it gave the effect the bed was floating which made jake a bit wary of getting out. Also something else had changed which took him a while to notice atop everything else, his clothes had changed. Instead of his long sleeve nylon shirt it was now a woven style leather which still had rolled up sleeves and black braces with a zip down the middle and a neck collar, the cargo trousers and combat boots were now a matching leather and shin high black boots but in a more formal style then his, lastly his worn olive fingerless gloves were now gloves once again made of leather but now covered his whole hand. He examined his new clothing wondering how his clothes had changed without him noticing "When did they....?"

Suddenly from the blackness underneath a floor shot up making Jake flinch back, when he opened his eyes he was in a whole new environment. The skies were smokey and dark, the ground had become a rock formation in which Jakes bed was now atop a platform, feeling brave enough to put his feet on the ground he stood up off the bed and looked over the side, he was taken aback by what he saw, lava. He was now in the middle of a volcano, in disbelief he whispered "This can't be real, it cant be." while gazing into the boiling magma underneath.

He looked around for any means of escape and noticed a aircraft on another platform, it was smoking and had obviously crashed there, no use. Suddenly his attention was taken away from it when a voice boomed from the darkness "Apologies..." jake snapped around to find its owner, the voice had a refined gentleman's manner to it, he continued "....But i felt your wardrobe was quite....shabby."

Jake shouted back looking around for a source of the voice "Well at least my clothes didn't make me look like a male stripper!" he quipped back smirking as he wanted to irritate the voice into showing itself. "What other outfits do you have?Crotchless panties?"

The voice resounded through the empty void but didn't raise its volume "Such inappropriate behavior, you should learn to work on your first impressions."

Jake sniggered and shook his head "You have no idea who i am do you?"

The voice adopted a gentler tone "Actually i do....." Down in front of him the lava bubbled and rose like an enormous monster was about to step out of it. Instead a lone figure emerged from the scorching liquid and as it dripped off not harming the person in the process jake recognized some of the features, a blonde hair slick back as if he had been dunked in a tub of hair gel, the eyes were covered by dark sunglasses giving off a mysterious vibe to him, his facial features were familiar but showed a solemn expression, finally the lava had cleared off and the man stood on the platform facing Jake from 10 feet away. He stood there watching this not sure to fight or try escape, he didn't know if he could hurt him considering he walked out of lava without a scratch and if he tried to run where could he go? Being in a volcano doesn't give you many escape routes. The figure was wearing clothes not unlike what jake was currently wearing but with a matching leather coat that reached down to his ankles. The two looked into each others eyes which was hard when they cant be seen through sunglasses, finally the unknown character raised his eyebrows in a caring look and finished his sentence "....You are my son."
