Love and Tolerance

Mike looked at Tom, "Do you think they came...." Mike was cut off and Celestia answered the rest, "I thought so....that's the same place Dash and the others went...." his eyes widened as he realized what had just been said, "WHAT?!" ‎"Don't you get it?! Discovering a new world like ours will give humans the capability to thrive in a rich climate by wiping out a current species. It’s like a kid in a candy store,"
‎"Multiple kids that is...." he looked at Tom, "this isn't good,"
Thomas gulped. “We need to split up. Princess Celestia I need you to go back to you realm, and make sure you rally up the ponies and inform them of what is happening. Mike and I will go back to camp and get the other ponies and look for the Fillies,”

“Okay. Twilight, Applejack and Rainbow Dash... Let’s go. I will need you girls to help gather forces,” Thomas glanced at Mike. "Let's go, we're at war here!"

Thomas, we will need your help to find Scootaloo, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle. Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie will be with you for help. Find them then have Fluttershy take you to the portal. Keep to the shadows; we don’t need any pony knowing about this,” Celestia commanded. Mike nodded and ran back to camp as fast as he could using his flash Thomas turned to the Princess as he nodded. "We will, we promise," He turned to Mike as he ran as fast as he could. Thomas ran to the tent. "GUYS, WAKE UP! We have a major problem on our hands!!" Mike, Go get Rainbow, I will wake up Fluttershy!”

Mike nodded and kneeled down next to Dash, gently shaking her to wake her up "Dash, Dash we've got a problem,” Rainbow Dash woke up with her shining crimson eyes looking up to see Michael. "Hey Mike, What's wrong?" She said. At first she thought it was something little, but then she noticed the scared and serious look on his face. He was all sweaty from running and no pony else was in the tent. Well, pinkie pie was still staring at her. But she didn't really help anything. She looked toward Michael for an answer. He was a little scared to explain but explained anyway "man found Equestria, if we don't stop them they will wipe out all of the ponies in that world,” Rainbow Dash almost broke into tears. She wasn't one to cry, but hearing her love say this to her was making it twice as heavy on her heart. "But, I thought we were safe here. Forever." she said wiping tears from her cheeks with a hoof. 'Well, what are we waiting for?" she asked and she scooped him up and took off into the sky holding onto him with her legs for she didn't want anything interrupting the smooth flapping of her wings. It would take away speed. And speed is exactly what they needed. She finally spotted an orange glint in the distance and took off at full speed toward it.
Thomas looked around as he quickly followed them, keeping his eye on Mike and Rainbow. He shook his head and sighed. "This can't be good!"
Mike leaned down to create less wind resistance as they took off. he looked down and tried to figure out where the truck that he and Thomas saw was. "Where do you think it is, Dash?" he asked as he looked at her. ‎"There," Rainbow said as she watched the humans loading cages into the back. She sped toward the truck having to put a hoof onto Mike's lap so he didn't fly off. She landed by the truck in the bushes observing the scene in stealth.
Thomas ran beside them, and knelt down. "I am going to create a diversion, to get a better look at what's going on. You stay here, and make sure Fluttershy doesn't follow me," Mike unsheathed his sword and grinned "can I pick them off one by one while they’re distracted?"

At these words, A rustle behind Tom suddenly stopped and headed toward Rainbow and Mike, When Fluttershy came out of the bushes. She instantly hid next to Rainbow and Mike and looked at Michael with his sword. She actually didn't protest for these humans have actually kidnapped the three fillies. She nodded kindly and looked away. Rainbow Dash put her snout to Mike's pocket and pulled out his USMC combat knife and looked him in the eyes. She took off into a tree and stood over two humans that were chatting away and smoking.
Mike grinned and hid in the shadows with Dash, waiting for Tom to distract them. Rainbow leaned forward in the branch in a striking position, she never killed anything before. But this time she had no choice. She waited for the diversion with knife in mouth. She said through her teeth. "I got these two. You go get those guys over there," She pointed to two guys also smoking and chatting. Thomas walked over casually to the men as the stopped talking. "What are you doing over here? Aren't you supposed to be loading up those varmints into the truck? Get back to work!" With a powerful bunt the other guy kicked Tom in the butt and pointed to the portal. He grumbled as he looked to the trees and put his hand to his throat as if to say: "Don't do anything, you will get yourselves hurt or killed,"
Mike nodded and within a blink of an eye 2 men that were smoking and chatting were instantly killed and disappeared.

Thomas put on a work uniform and picked up a crate, little did he know was that he carrying the crate with the fillies in them.
Rainbow Dash Rainbow landed by the two men and slit ones throat easily, as the other realized what was going on, Dashie already sent the knife spinning with a toss of her head. The knife hit home at the man's heart as he felt the warm flow of blood seep through his clothes. Rainbow looked astonished at the two dead men she had just created and smiled. They deserved it, that's for sure. But she did feel sorry for them. She pulled the knife out of the man and cleaned it on the grass.
Thomas gasped as the men looked at the Cyan Assassin Pony. He glanced over at a government official that was nodding and talking to his supervisor. He knew what was happening: They were talking about running tests on Rainbow to train her for an elite Military Squadron. He groaned and took a look at Scoot Aloo who was in the crate he was hold and sighed. He took a deep breath and made a run for it. Scoots looked around inside the crate, trying to find a way out as best as she could, but all her efforts were in vain.

Rainbow Dash Rainbow took the sigh as a "Target over here" She felt something was out of place in the small clearing. She turned around and she now saw the other two coming toward her holding giant Rifles loaded with Tranquilizer Darts. She jumped into the air over them dodging the darts and stabbed one in the chest. As he fell over, Rainbow felt a surge of pain in her flank; she ignored it and cut the last man's throat easily with the razor sharp combat knife. Now with the Battlefield clear, she looked to her flank to see what was bothering her so much. She gasped as she saw a Giant Tranquilizer dart in her hind leg, right where her cutie mark was. She ripped it out and cluttered clumsily toward Michael. "Mike, I'm hit... I'll be out for-" but she already passed out in his arms.
Mike flicked the blood off his sword and sheathed it, then walked over to the crate; he closed his eyes and took in a breath then let it out. Opening his eyes quickly he unsheathed his blade and slashed the crate the Scoots was in then stopped after a few cuts and slashes. He stopped and sheathed his sword, turned around and walked away from it; the wooden box instantly fell into pieces.
Mike's eyes widened as he saw Dash fell into his arms "crap..." he hugged her gently then looked around "hang on Dashie, I'll get you out of here." he whispered as he flash stepped back toward Tom's house, he figured it was the only way to keep her safe so he did it. Dashie, having pulled out the tranquilizer just in time, was just imobilized. She could still talk with a strong lisp, but she could still hear and communicate. ‎"M-Michael..." she said softly. "I love you."

Mike he looked at her and smiled, kissing her gently "I love you too....and don't you worry about your home, we'll take care of them." he whispered to her and he walked inside the house and laid her down on his bed. "When you get better make yourself at home, ok? I'll be back soon" Rainbow inclined her head. As soon as Michael left, she made constant efforts to stand up. But the chemicals that were injected into her kept her close to the floor. She tried one last time and finally stood up. She couldn't move much though. She had to wait until the symptoms left her system for her complete mobility to return. She looked around the house admiring all the pictures with Michael in them. She tripped over to a door that had the word "Mike" written on it in bold letters and went in. She was shocked to see little figurines of herself and her friends as she entered. She picked one up and smiled to herself.
Fluttershy floated gently in the open window and gasped when she saw Rainbow Dash. “Are you okay,” she asked quietly. Rainbow Dash looked at her, and smiled faintly, "Yeah, some human shot me with a sleeping thingy, but I pulled it out."

She knew everyone else had left to fight without her. And she couldn't let that happen. She noticed a strange metal box in the Father's room of the house. She looked at it cautiously and kicked it open. With one easy swing of the door, in the safe was revealed to be Large Semi Automatic Pistols, Huge bolt action sniper rifles, Shotguns and revolvers, knives for combat use, and a weird suit that seemed to look like a bush. Rainbow Dash never felt more thrilled in her life, she knew exactly how she was going to help, and she didn't have to move very far to do so. She quickly whipped on the suit and Ran out the door selecting a large Sniper rifle from the gun safe along with some ammunition. She set up the Rifle on a tree and scoped in on the scene.

Meanwhile Mike was compromised by the portal that leads to Equestria and started fighting off the men that were attacking him. He got his guard thrown off and got shot in the shoulder, he hit the ground with a thud and the sword clattered to the ground. They grabbed him and they tied his hands behind his back with a plastic zip tie then dragged him to the boss.
The boss looked down at the boy and lift his chin with his hand "who gave you the right to get in our business, boy?" he growled softly.
Mike only scowled at him and spit in his face, causing one of the men hit him in the face with one of their rifles. Mike grunted and hit the ground. "give him a good beating till he talks...." the boss grabbed Mike by the hair pulling him up hard.”I'll be back and I hope you will be ready to answer some questions" he threw him down then walked away, leaving him to get beat up.
Rainbow Dash grinned and pulled the trigger once, picking off a man who was in the front so everyone would notice. The bullet hit home right between the man's forehead zipping a clean hole right through it. Rainbow smiled as she watched the men drop their guns and start looking around for where the shot came from. She re-adjusted the sights on the scope and aimed again, She picked a target who had decided to go over to Michael and try to hit him. But the shot hit his right eye before he could do anything about it. By this time, the men all knew that whoever this sniper was, she had talent, and she was defending the prisoner.

Mike was kicked and beat with the butt ends of their guns, getting welts, bruises even a few small cuts. The man that was in front grabbed the boy's sword and walked over to him, calling the men off. "How about if kill you with your sword? That sounds very honorable doesn't it?" he laughed and all the other men laughed. Mike coughed up blood after they stopped he growled softly at the man and spoke weakly "go to hell..." the man suddenly kicked him in the head hard, almost losing a tooth. Suddenly the man got shot and fell to the ground.
Mike looked at the man that got shot and smirked; help was already on the way. Another man got hit then another. The black haired boy couldn't help but hum and sing weakly 'another one bites the dust' as they got shot waiting to sing it for the ones that got shot.
“Another one bite the dust.....another one bites the dust....and another one gone and another one gone...another bites the dust, hey! Hey! I'm gonna get you too another one bite the dust! "

Rainbow Dash kept up the shooting, she only missed two out of thirteen shots which was pretty Phenomenal considering she barely ever shot a rifle. She decided to have some fun and pulled out the scoped crossbow. She aimed it's Crosshairs just to the edge of the leader's collar Right as he was raising the sword. The bolt soared through mike's bindings cutting him free and also forcing the leader to drop the sword for he was suddenly pinned to a tree by a 1.5 foot long Arrow that just skimmed his shoulder. Rainbow kept up the fire until all the men knew they were hopeless. They basically were all just awaiting their Quick deaths. All they could do was watch as one by one; the force of men was wiped out. Only the leader stood, the sword laid by Mike's side.

Mike rubbed his wrists and grabbed his sword, looking around. He wondered which of the ponies did that, but had a good feeling that he knew who it was. Rainbow Dash Flew to the scene with the Shining black Rifle over her shoulder. She walked over to the leader and kicked his stomach. "How DARE YOU TOUCH MY MICHAEL!!!" she said with nothing but pure anger in her eyes. She stepped back as she handed Mike the sword. "Make sure it's slow as yours would have been." She said evilly grinning.
Mike smiled and hugged Dash tightly, ignoring his gunshot wound and smiled "good to see you up and about Dashie, that had to be the fastest recovery I've seen" he chuckled softly and looked at his sword and grinned, cutting the side of the man's neck a little, blood was seeping through the wound. Rainbow noticed the wound and thought that she hit him. But she remembered that the hole would have been able to fit a "coca cola" can in it if it were from the sniper rifle. She took a bandage and put some painkilling salve on it and began to treat his wound. He knelt down and winces a bit as she treated his wound. "ow...ow...ow..." he cringed in pain as she painkilling salve on him but then sighed and relaxed, ”Thanks Dash"
"No problem." She replied. "Hey, anyone does anything bad to you again ever; raise two of your fingers like this." She made a motion with her hoof showing what it would look like, well, she didn't have fingers, but Mike knew what she meant. She re-loaded the rifle and looked up at mike. "Were these yours?" She said pulling out a 375 Magnum, a 12 gauge double barreled sawed off shotgun, and her trusty sniper rifle that she decided was her weapon of choice.

Mike nodded then looked at the guns blinking "were you in my stash of guns?" he asked, he was also a little shocked that she could handle a rifle so good.

Rainbow Dash she grinned and slung the rifle. "Yeah, and I like this one." she said as she heard a series of thuds. She saw the Princess and Twilight with the others.

Thomas had made his way into the portal, but when he did he gasped to see Equestria, looked like a post-apocalyptic fissure erupted. He gasped when saw the ponies shackled to each other around the neck like slaves. His eyes widened as he stealth fully ran through Ponyville. The first stop he made was to Sweet Apple Acres. He groaned when he saw that the apple trees were bare and the land had turned rancid. He groaned when he saw Granny Smith lying in a pool of blood near the barn doors. His eyes grew soft as he scanned the area; a bullet was placed into the elder Apple. He looked around and saw men riding on a carriage with a whip in their hand. Big Mac was pulling the carriage that held the pony prisoners.

Mike grinned as he saw the others "let's end this girls.." he raised his sword up "FOR EQUESTRIA!"
Rainbow Dash took up a position in a cloud and looked down at all the slaved ponies. She tried to gun down every single Human she saw. But then, she saw Rarity getting pulled out of her shop, Rainbow instantly swung the barrel over as it clicked. No ammo! She thought in her head, she slung the rifle and flew down armed with only a knife. She slit the man's throat easily and freed Rarity. Rarity was too blinded by what was going on to worry about the blood on her coat so she ran back into her shop and locked the door. Rainbow looked to Michael and fought beside him. Mike, having been a expert in the swordsmen arts blocked all the bullets that the men were firing then deflected them back, hitting them in the hands so they had no choice but to fight with their bare hands and defended Rainbow while she defended him. Rainbow Dash watched as the land she loved became a battlefield. Ponies were getting back up and killing left and right. Rainbow took a second to look but one second was just enough. A bullet whizzed in and took a chunk off her flank. She collapsed to the ground and got back up. She was limping but still fighting. It was only when some human directed his gun toward pinkie when she realized something. She let her rage take over her body, Her actions were no longer her own, She killed 5 men in one easy stroke and sprinted for Pinkie, She tackled the man and sent his gun flying, She on purpose stabbed him in non-lethal spots so he would bleed to an agonizing slow death. She looked back at the battlefield as things slowly started to ease down.

Mike gasped as he saw a gun getting pointed at Dash "NOOOOO!!" he flash stepped toward her and jumped in the way, blocking the blow with his sword and deflecting it with his blade, hitting it back right into the man's forehead. He looked back at Rainbow with worry in his eyes "are you alright?" Thomas could not believe what was going on, what the world was coming too. He groaned as he looked all over Equestria. The land was nothing more than a battle field. Unicorns used their magic against the Navy; the Pegasus used their aerial maneuvers against the Air Force. And the Earth Ponies used the Army. He groaned as he ran to find Princess Celestia.
Rainbow Dash Rainbow looked stunned, she saw Mike and said. "Thanks to you I'm fine... hey, you got any more ammo, I'm running low!" She said as she pulled the trigger again picking the windshield of a helicopter that was chasing three Pegasus. The helicopter spun for the pilot's blood stained body had slumped over the Control stick and spun it out. Mike handed her a few more clips of ammo then his eyes widened as the helicopter was almost about to crash on a two fillies "I'll be right back" he told her before disappearing and flash stepped into a jump, slashing and cutting the helicopter into a fine dust then he swung his sword around in a fan like way, blowing the dust out of sight. he then landed in a crouching position on the ground and slowly got up, looking around then looked down at the fillies "are you alright?" he questioned they all nodded and he told them to get into a safe and out of sight spot and hurry. They did what they were told and ran away to safety. Rainbow Dash slapped a clip in and sniped a few more targets. She suddenly noticed that an enemy was aiming a gun to Fluttershy. She scoped on to the enemy, but Fluttershy had already kicked his shin and apologized sweetly before kicking his head knocking him out cold.

Mike back, blocking and cutting bullets easy. He looked around and sighed "it feels like there's no end to this" he muttered as he watched the war happening. Rainbow sighed for she was tired of taking lives of living creatures, She dropped her rifle and went on to dis-arming everyone including the ponies, She signaled for her friends to do the same. "COME ON!" she said as she pulled a pitchfork out of Applejack's hooves Mike looked at her as she did this wondered what she was up to he followed her "Dash? What are you doing? If you disarm everyone we'll lose and take use prisoner or even kill us!"

Rainbow Dash looked at Mike concerned and sighed, there was no other option but to fight, she wanted to stop the fighting. She looked up at all the bloodshed and picked her knife back up. She threw it easily landing in the chest of a man who was shooting his gun at the mayor Mare. She then looked and widened her eyes at what she saw; a bullet was headed straight for the back part of Mike's head. She jumped into the way letting the bullet strike her in her hind leg. She fell to the ground with a dull thud and pulled out the 44. Magnum. She snapped onto 6 targets discharging the bullets as she carefully aimed down the sights. Mike looked over to Rainbow and ran to her fast, standing over her protectively and defending her 'I won't let anything happen to you....' he said to her in his mind. "...they'll have to get past my blade and kill me in order to get you...and I won't allow any of this..." he whispered as he kept cutting and slashing the bullets.

Rainbow Dash looked to her left and saw it: Thomas fighting off two men at once. She aimed the revolver at the men, but the gun simply clicked. All she could do was telling Mike what was happening. "MIKE!" she shouted. Thomas had taken a couple blows to the head, but that wasn't going to stop him from fighting for what he believed in. He watched in horror as many of the Military went after the Pegasai and Unicorns. He shook his head and kept fighting. "So this is what our government does to foreign species," He muttered. He ducked under a nearby tree and shot at the Militia. By now, Ponyville had turned into an all out war zone. The barren trees marked the overpowering domination that man was actually winning the war. He groaned as he ducked under the tree and headed toward Rainbow Dash. He threw her some ammo as he took cover. "Hate is detected!" He called. "Do you have any sort of friendship cannon?"

Rainbow Dash thought for a second, and a spell came to mind. She knew her friend Twilight has used this kind of spell before on them all when Discord came to the land. She yelled back: "Get Twilight, Tell her what you just said!" But Twilight was already right next to the two, hitting men in the heads with levitating books.

Mike looked to the side and his eyes widened scoot was getting backed cornered, “....oh no,” He got up quickly and ran to where scoots was, trying to flash step but for some reason he couldn't flash step "what the hell!?" he growled and tried to keep running as fast as he could. Mike saw one of the men kicking her down and aiming the gun to her chest. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" he screamed as he was just two feet away, the trigger was pulled and the shot hit Scoots in the chest. He slammed on his breaks and looked at the filly....lying there....dead.... "no...." he looked down, the brim of his hat covering his eyes with a dark shadow, he looked up at the men, his eyes a golden color, he was pissed now....he knew what he was going to do to them they came so far to protect those innocent fillies, and one of them died at the hands of two men! He sheathed his sword and put his left leg in front of his right leg, wind rose around him, Mike unsheathed his sword and ran at the two men, the blow was blocked by one of the men with a gun. They both looked at Mike and laughed. suddenly when the air was displaced by the power and impact of the first blocked blow, shattering the air around the opponents and drawing the opponents in. the second blow used the pent up force from the first to accelerate the blow, thus hitting them with a more powerful hit the second time around. Sending the two men flying and the half of their bodies slashed in 2. He slung the sword downward and blood sprayed onto the ground, he sheathed it and ran to the filly, kneeling down beside her, hugging her and crying. "Come on...wake up....Scoots, come on....wake up...." he whispered.
