The Rescue

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Queen 3rd Person POV

The equines were more persistent than she ever thought. Her reign had just started when the pathetic creatures already started to break into one of her glorious hives. The Queen began pacing back and forth, trying to figure out what drives them to find her and free the three fillies that she had captured, her anticipation building as the ponies get closer to breaking in. While normally this would be a time for panic, she was calm and contained. Because she was never in this particular hive no she was seeing this one through the eyes of one of her many subjects. Her anticipation soon climaxed when she saw several armor clad ponies appear in front of her.

“FREEZE YOU FREAK!” The leader shouted.  The Queen then turned in mock surrender. Then after the ponies had gotten closer, she turned back to them using several tendrils, throwing them against the wall. “You fools, you think you can stop me? How adorable the thought is.” She laughed as she said this. The group was soon absorbed by The Queen’s host, and thereby The Queen herself. She soon looked through their memories she saw the stallion that demanded the fillies from earlier has broken away from her former sister’s organization. She chuckled silently to herself as the host soon became useless and she soon left for one of her many other hives. Your turn she thought silently.

Twilight 1st person POV

We cut through the monsters in the red zone that tried to stand in our way. It felt amazing. Fluttershy, still enraged by the thought of Angel, was slashing through the beasts faster than any of us could have imagined, clearing a path for the rest of us while we kept the rest at bay in the back.

“NOW THIS IS MY KIND OF FUN TWILIGHT!” Rainbow called out as she sliced a brawler’s head clean off his body with her claws.

“Is this all they got? Ah swear they were tougher earlier. What happened to them that made them so weak?!” Applejack exclaimed shredding another brawler to bits using her claws.

“OH! Do any of you think we can play with their bodies after we’re done with them?!” Pinkie asked, a little too enthusiastically for my tastes, as she opened up a brawler and ate it’s insides with her tendrils.

“Oh my, just look what you beast are doing to my coat. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Oh wait, you can’t feel shame because you are all dying.” Rarity said sarcastically slicing another brawler in half.

“And to think you once gave us so much trouble,” Spike said as he tore through several Brawlers at once.

“Hell, I never thought tearing through these fuckers would be so much fun,” Midnight said, allowing Rainbow’s hot headed persona to wear off on him as he hacked into another group. We were so occupied I almost didn’t notice a giant blob of muscle falling towards us.

“LOOK OUT!” I yelled as I pushed them out of the way. The beast landed on me, but I pushed his fists away and got a full look at him. The beast was about twice the size of a brawler, and much stronger. He was very angry from the looks of it. His strength showed when he plowed into a building, leveling nearly half of it.

“WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING?!” Midnight yelled.

“I DON’T KNOW BUT IT’S TOUGHER THAN THE OTHERS!”  I shouted as it started to charge at us.

“WHAT EVER IT IS I SURE DON’T WANT TO STAND AROUND AND FIND OUT!” Spike yelled out.

“LET’S JUST GET TO THE DAMNED HIVE AND GET THOSE FILLIES OUT OF THERE, WE CAN WORRY ABOUT CRANKY LATER!” Rainbow shouted.

AH’M GOIN’ WITH DASH ON THIS ONE, LETS JUST GET IN THERE AND GET MINE AND RARITY’S SISTER OUTTA THERE, LETS NOT FORGET SCOOTALOO!” Applejack shouted in response.

Before we knew it we were already face to face with the hive, and knowing our abilities we ran up the wall to the roof of the infested building, once we were on top of the building there was a brawler that had charged us as we closed our eyes bracing for impact we suddenly hear a sickening ‘CRACK!’.

we open our eyes to see that Midnight had thrown the brawler through the roof and left a hole for us to be able to enter, as soon as we were in I heard another brawler charging and devoured it to see where the fillies were in the hive.

I notice that once the flashback was finished I look at my tail to see that it had turned into a whip, and I gave it a good swing and at the length of its reach was a loud ‘CRACK!’ then began slinging brawlers to the side easily clearing a path to the fillies.

Once we made it to where the fillies were imprisoned Applejack tore through the wall of their slimy cell, opening the way for the fillies to escape.

“Now lets get out of here, Midnight you still got that grapple gun of yours?” I asked.

“Yeah, why?” Midnight responded.

“The fillies are going to need it to escape” I tell him “we can use the tendril whip to get out.”

With that he hands off the grapple gun to the fillies and they aim directly for the ledge that was created upon the entry created by a brawler being smashed through it and zip together out of the hole and peer over the edge watching us.

The rest of us used the tendril whip to pull ourselves out of the hive, and on top of the building we were in.

Once outside there were eight brawlers at the least, one for each of us to kill.

Applejack uses her claws to shred hers to bits and hollers “THEY CALL THIS A RODEO, HAH, MORE LIKE A CIRCUS!”

Pinkie just rips her opponent in two as she smiles sadistically.

Dash used her tendril whip to slice through her opponent with ease and just laughed.

I threw mine to Pinkie and she, of course, used her strength to split it in two with a single punch.

Spike tortured his foe, tearing it limb from limb, laughing as it died slowly and painfully.

Fluttershy used ‘THE STARE’ to pierce into the very soul of the beast, causing it to back down and run away.

Rarity just sliced hers to bits and pieces near perfect for a puzzle.

Midnight Devoured his to gather information in the huge beast they’d encountered earlier.

After a minute of pain and suffering he said “That huge fucker we saw today is a Juggernaut, speaking of which… HERE HE COMES!”

We all dive out of the way causing the juggernaut to miss and we all hit him with our tendril whips each grabbing a limb, pulling with all we’ve got we rip him in half.

“Well, now we know we can kill those bastards.” Rainbow said, hugging scootaloo close “I’m just happy that these little fillies are okay”

Applebloom went running up to Applejack hugging her and said “I knew you’d come for us.”

All Applejack could say is “And that we did.” as she returned her sisters embrace.

“SWEETIE BELLE!” was all Rarity could let out as she embraced her sister.

All Sweetie belle did was return her embrace sharing her sisters emotion

“Well Midnight, I really did a number on ya back there so I guess were together forever now.” I said as I pulled him into a loving embrace which he gracefully returned.

“Forever and always.” Midnight answered.

After a moment of happy reunions, “ Okay we need to get out of here before we attract any unwanted attention.” I said to the rest of the group, and we were gone.

Big Mac, 3rd person POV

“Okay all I know is that one of the hives were destroyed, but I want to know what attacked on the inside.” Mac said solidly “Bring in the new guy.”

“Yes sir.” replied Trixie

Trixie takes off to the barracks to fetch the new specialist among their ranks.

Mist Shaker, 3rd person POV

“Hey Mist.” Trixie called out peering into Mist's room “Commander want’s a word with you.”

“M-me, he wants to talk to me.” Mist said nervously as he stood from his cot “I hope this is good.”

“Yeah you, who else would he call new guy, huh?” Trixie stated “so you’d best get to him A.S.A.P.”

Being given his orders he heads out of his room and heads towards the command center.

As Mist walks he thinks to himself Why did I ever get involved?, what is it that brought me here and why does the commander want to talk to me now?, just as he finishes his though he finds himself at the commanders side.

“You wished to speak with me sir?” Mist said to Mac.

“Did you know that we lost our best agent just two weeks ago?” Mac asked inquisitively.

“No sir, I didn’t’ Mist replied “what are you trying to say?”

“What Ah am saying is that you are his replacement, as we know you're his brother even though he may not remember, you obtain the same skill he had. I hate to tell you this kid, but Midnight has turned against us, he was infected by the very beings we are after just the same as the horde is perusing about trying to eliminate them.” Mac said solidly.

“But sir, I can’t kill my own brother, I swore that I would follow him wherever he went, I just can’t do it.” Mist said, rebelling against his commanding officer being his only way to show his loyalty to his family.

“Then we have no need of you any longer, get out of my sight before I chose to kill you myself, you traitorous basta...”Mac said before he felt a hoof land hard across his muzzle, that hoof being Mists

“You tried to get me to kill my brother against my will, you sick fuck.” Mist said angrily.

With that Mist walked out of the room with nothing to say.
