Faster Than Friendship

Faster Than Friendship Chapter Five 2/2

Before AN 1:I hated writing this chapter but the only reason I published this is because

I promised a long chapter

______________________________

Harold's POV

As I was floating in space I thought I saw the poni look at me jaws dropped on how I just jumped out of the ship and into the void of space unharmed.

When I could finally move around I started floating to a nearby ship wreckage and started looking for a way inside.

(What!? The ship doesn't pay for itself you know!!)

After a few minutes of searching I spotted a small hole so I did what every other

Scavenger would do...Blow it up...I got one of my grenades ready and chucked it through the little hole. little did I know that

The grenade would come back at me..I screamed like a little girl and floated away to the station hoping the grenade wouldn't follow me.

After a couple minutes of playing cat and mouse I made it the the station and pressed the button to open the hangar bay doors

That was coincidentally outside the station.

"Thanks now we can get the friendly out of there more easily"

Stated Ashley as the creaking of our rusty assault ship starting to move was heard then a minute later it was seen entering the station with a

Soldier following behind.

Nobody\pony POV

After thirty minutes the Militia was parked in a ship depot ready for action when the time comes.

"What in blazing hells made you take a half hour to park?"

Harold asked while looking at the now clean Militia

"Well I wasn't going to waste all the free offers here now would I?"

Ashley replied while wearing a new Pilot's suit.

"And besides there were free suits for all four of us for being federal personnel"

She stated while showing the crew their new armor which Harold was drooling over his.

Derick looked at his and personally liked it since it was a Combat engineering suit made for shield-men and engineers

Johnson an Advanced engi suit made for engi commandos and support soldiers.

After a minute of dressing up in their new wear they looked badass as the poni came out of the cruiser to look frightened at our new

Appearance.

"Aaahhhh Reapers!!"

Pinkie yelled as she got some armor that had the initials N7 as she took a glowing weapon and shot at them like heck.

"Hey hey hey oy don't shoot at me do you know how long it took to get my hair this way!?"

Harold yelled as he took off his helmet and started fixing his hair.

"Oh hey Harold!! Why are you next to the Reapers?"

Pinkie asked as she looked at him and then looked at the rest of the crew.

"We're right here Pinkie and we're not these 'reapers' you think of"

Derick said as he took of his helmet with the rest of the crew following sweet.

"Besides this gear is only made for trips outside the Militia not space explorations"

Ashley stated as she walked back up the ramp to the Militia.

"If you need me I'll moniter you through the Militia to find your way to whatever is here"

Ashley said while closing the door and starting up the radar systems and after a minute of waiting The radar started to work showing all nearby

Allies and threats in the vicinity.

"What..?ok guys be careful  the radar is jammed or something cause I can't seem to get it working right but thankfully that entity is still there with it's location"

Ashley said as Harold took the first step towards the next room.

"Why don't you fix it then? you took the basic engineering class while in training didn't you?"

Derick questioned Ashley as he couldn't see it but she was blushing lightly

"I may have *Unintelligeble murmuring*"

"What was that?"

"I said I might have *Murmur"

"What?"

"She said that she fell asleep that in class if that's okay with you"

Replied fluttershy as she was cooing Ashley with the latter fell asleep in the cockpit snoring lightly...That is

until Harold screamed that is.

"Aaagghh!!"

He yelled as the group heard laser shots in the other room

"What happened!?"

Screeched Twilight as the gunshots slowly died down.

"I don't know but whatever happened took Harold with it"

Said Derick as he opened the door only to find Harold missing and the floor leading to the door missing as well.

"What!? Nononono this can't be happening why!!!?"

Yelled Ashley as Derick inspected the room better

"He still owed me twenty scrap!"

Ashley said with the poni looking down in sorrow the orange one putting her hat down to her chest.

"Wait Ash I think Harold didn't die but instead fell"

Derick said as he looked down the broken part of the floor.

"What do you mean?"

Ashley asked as the poni looked at him curiously

"I mean his body isn't here so obviously he either fell...or is a wizard"

Derick replied with a scared tone since he is afraid of mystical beings.

"Do you need me to look under your bed sweety"

Mocked Ashley as she put on a fake motherly tone

"How about you let me grab my gun then lets see who's mocking?"

Derick replied as he jumped

"See ya!"

He yelled as he fell down the bottomless void and possibly to his death.

"Oh well nice knowing ya!"

Replied Ashley as she walked back to the ship.

"Uhh shouldn't we go with em to make sure he's safe?"

Questioned Applejack as all of the poni agreed.

"Nope besides I have to monitor the radar and make sure it works anyway"

Ashley replied.

Derick's POV

"Uhhg"

I groaned as I got up

"Note to self, never do another suicide mission as long as I live"

I said as I got onto my feet...

"Fuck!"

...Just to fall back down again meaning either two things.

One: I could have disabled my legs by unlocking super-human abilities or

Two: Broke my legs.

"Well it's obvious that I broke them considering I don't have super strength or speed since I'm already smart"

I said as I crawled across whatever room I landed in hoping to find something to balance myself on so I can get a good look at

My surroundings.

After countless minutes of stumbling in the dark I found a small metal post I could lean on which I failed to get into a comfortable

Position since I can't maneuver with a broken leg but I at least found some broken metal I was able to use to balance myself.

I was able to get moving around after arguing with myself deciding whether or not to have decorations but decided against it considering

My situation right now.

"Alright now time to find Harold and find a way out. *Fumbles with comslink* Ashley are you there I found where Harold landed

But I need the sensor array to find my way to him do you respond?"

After I said that I found my laser pistol and used my helmet's flashlight to find my way about.

"Oh what the...Jesus!"

I said because as soon as I turned on my flashlight blood was everywhere along with a breach in the wall.

"Entering vacuum"

The computer in my helmet said as I started walking towards the door hoping that I could get out of here as fast as possible.

Also failing to walk and stumbling over dead corpses in the process.

"Warning five minutes of air remaining"

The voice warned as I neared the hole in the wall which also housed next to it a control panel for life support.

"Let's see...okay the blue wire goes.. there and the green one there"

I said to myself as the ventilation turned on slowly and with dust coming out like crazy.

"WARNING! CONTAMINATION BREACH IMINENT!! PLEASE FIND IMMIEDIATE ASSISTANCE OR RESISDANCE FOR THIS LOCKDOWN!"

A voice boomed as the ventilation turned off and the doors locked down slowly

"Fuck!"

I said as I ran like hell for the door hoping I make it to see another day (And it's only day two for god's sake.!)

After doing another power sprint I made it to the door as it was only a couple feet open and did a slide right through it

At the last second.

When I got through I was literally out of breath and my heart was beating like a machine gun laser since I was almost locked out

And suffocated in there.

"*Gasp x three* *Deep breath*"

"Jeez I got out just fine but seriously your outta breath because of a five minute lockdown that was just making sure you were in stable condition

You must be either a quick thinker or an idiot and you have a higher IQ than me"

Harold's ever so not forgettable voiced boomed over what seemed to be an old fashioned intercom.

"*Gasp* I *Gasp* hate you"

I said as I limped my ever so way to the map to see where he is so I can give him the beating of a lifetime.
