"Thanks' for letting us stay at your place for a while". No problem Apple Jack replied. Who are you she asked. I replied, "I am Zachary Brown, and these are my squad mates". Mario, Matt, and Joe. "Why are you so subtle about us being here". Apple Jack replied, "Well when I was just a philly in school we were taught about anthropology, you know the study of humans. I said yeah. Well i'm going to head out to town to pick up a few thing. Wait! "Apple Jack do you know where I can get some rope"? She stared at me for a while. "What do you need rope for"? Well I'm going to make a hammock to sleep on. Okay well there should be some rope in the back. "Thanks, I replied". Well I'm going to start my Hammock, "just call me if you need me".
I was almost done with my hammock when Matt shouted up to me. "I replied what'? "Another pony is here to meet us". I looked over the railing , to see a sky blue pegasus. Then I remembered, what I saw last night. i sat back, wondering if that was the same blood covered pegasus.then i walked over to the ladder. I was trying to hide my suspicion when I climbed down the ladder to great the pegasus. When I came up to greet her she looked at me in suspicion. She then looked worried. I spoke up asking who she was. She replied, "I'm Rainbow Dash, its nice to meet you, um". Zach I replied. She asked well I just came here to pick up some thing, from Apple Jack. I looked at her leg and asked where she got the cut that was there. She then was starting to act paranoid, "Well"? Uh, I recently crashed into the ground. No you didn't' those cuts are to recent and you show no recent sign off physical injury. She started slowly moving backwards toward the door. I kept walking forward. I don't know what you are up to Rainbow Dash, but I can tell It's not good. She chuckled and said well that makes two of us now does it, but then she bolted out the door leaving a sort of noticeable rainbow trail. The rest of the squad looked at me. "I said last night when you were asleep, I saw her up in the clouds covered in blood. You sure you weren't dreaming? Matt said. I am sure.
When Apple Jack came back It was very dark out. she looked a bit annoyed. She spoke saying, You shouldn't of done that to Rainbow Dash. What I asked? What you said to her earlier! I backed off a little. "If you keep playing dumb our friendship can go south", she said with an angry tone. You know what I don't need to take your crap! Well if you want to stay here, you should start to shape up. I looked in the back of me, and noticed some left over rope. I quickly bolted for it. I grabbed it as soon as Apple Jack tackled me to the ground. She looked a little amused to see me lying on the ground. Then I was knocked cold. I woke up several hours later, tied to a pole. I looked up and saw Rainbow Dash, and Apple Jack, looking down at me. Apple Jack came very close to me and said. I warned you.

sorry this is a short chapter. I'm going to make the next chapter this up coming week.
No, Rainbow Dash, stay away! "I Said stay away"."You shouldn't be doing this". As Rainbow Dash started walking forward on the catwalk, She was grinning a bit. "I shouted again, Stay away". My hand started for the Five-Seven in my holster. I repeated one more time "stay away, I mean it". Then I looked to my left as my friend hanging for his life from the catwalk, then to my right where the other two were being tied up on the factory floor. I felt my grip slipping. Then a loud bang filled the room.
One month earlier. Zachary wake up. Zach wake up now. "Uh what do you want I replied". Zach we have a problem Joe replied. Joe was the staff sergeant. When I was finally awake I asked, "wheres Matthew and Mario"? That's the problem I don't know. Wait where are we? well wherever we are, we reached where we were supposed to go. Okay so new planet, new solar system, So we should look for them in the Morning, it is getting dark. Joe said look over there, it looks like an old temple. Okay I said lets get to it but first, "wheres the supplies?" "Matt and Mario must have landed with it", wherever they are. we started for the temple. As we were walking I said "I hope their okay". Joe responded "wherever they are they probably are okay." "Mario over here", spoke Matt. Mario walked over to Matt asking what he found. Matt pointed over the edge at a village in the distance. Mario asked what it was, Matt replied "civilization". "Mario"? Yes, what do you want. "Wheres Zachary and Joe". Ya where are they. We'll they shouldn't be to far. considering the zone radius should have dropped us at least 250 meters away from each other. "Its getting dark", maybe we should find some cover before we go looking for them. "I hope they are okay", because we have the supply drop that we brought.
(this is back to Zachery and Joe now.) The night seemed endless. I didn't know if it was that fact I was lying down on solid stone, or the fact that I might not be able to return home. I woke up to a large thud. I looked outside and the sun was just starting to rise. Then I heard the thud again. "I looked over at Joe which he was still sleeping". Then I asked myself, what could of made that noise. "I looked out the into the corridor". I quickly went back into the room. I saw a creature of some sort bashing on every door. I went through my ammo count. All I had was my Five-Seven with only two extra 20 round mags. I pulled it out of my holster, and slowly walked over to Joe who was sleeping. I woke him before the creature got to the room. "I said no time to explain", just pull you gun out and aim it at the door. Joe was holding a HK 416 Then the creature burst through the door. I stopped and looked at us in confusion I said Joe now and the air was filled with bangs from our weapons. the creature was covered in blood. as we slowly walked up to it, It started to move. We stopped dead. It got up whimpering and ran away. Okay now we now that this planet has hostile creature on it. Okay maybe we should head out and go look for Matt, and Mario.
Matt, and Mario were walking through the forest looking for Zachary, and Joe. Matt was carrying a M4A1 SOPMOD, and Mario was equipped with AW50 Mario. What up. "did you hear that"? No hear what. "Wait Mario those are gunshots". They sounded not that far away. wait maybe I can use my coms to send a short distance message, and maybe they will get it. Go for it. Done now we just wait.Joe! What wrong. I just got a signal on the coms. Its Mario and Matt. I cant hear the message we're to far away, but we're getting close.Okay lets keep going north, Then we will be able to find them. Your right I said. lets go. we walked for at least 20 minutes then the signal was perfectly clear now. We probably were around the bend from them. Me and Joe raced around the bend to them. When we got around all we found was a bag full of supplies. and a detached wrist com. something happened to them Joe said. no There's no trace of a fight or anything. Joe took the time to take in his surrounding as I found out where they went. Then I spoke up Matt you tricky bastard. Then I looked up on the ledge and saw him dressed in camouflage. "You can come down now". Matt replied "I can never hide from you can I". "Nope". so why did you set this up asked Joe? Well' Since we are on an alien planet we don't know who lives here. "Matt and I saw a village not to far away". I looked to my left where Mario was still trying to unhook himself from a harness he had on. we heard you shoot this morning. I don't know if its still alive or not, but it was whimpering after. So wheres this village you were talking about. Over yonder come I'll show you. Then we heard a yell, then a thud. We raced to Mario who was now lying on the ground in pain. He groaned. Mario "you okay" I asked. He said no my leg feels like crap. We pulled up his pant leg and his leg was sprained.
Come on Joe help me get him on his leg. Mario arms went around our shoulders and we helped him to the ledge where Mario and Matt found the village.We heard a rustling in the bushes, then the same creature from the temple came out. It realized who we were and ran away. Matt asked so that's the thing that tried to kill you. I replied with a firm yes. When we got to the site where they found the village. I helped Mario with basic medical skills. I put his leg in temporary splint. here take these and see what you can find. I took the high power binoculars and looked trough them. Uh.... Joe asked what? I sat back and handed him the binoculars. Joe looked trough and said, Oh now I see. He looked to me and said horses everywhere. Matt looked in disbelief. What, I mean how? Matt replied. I don't know but our best bet of getting Mario back on his feet. Come on up you go, as we pulled Mario up on our shoulder. Many hours later we came within half a mile of this small village. We came across a sign that said pony ville. Mario was still limping with his arm on my shoulder. Matt was taking point, and Joe protected the back. When we entered the village all of the ponies stopped and looked at us. I whispered to Matt, do you think their hostile? Matt answered I cant tell. Matt asked If we can find a doctor out loud. Then one of the ponies spoke up ya I can tell you where to find one. Matt turned gun point to the one that spoke. She gave Matt a awful look. He asked and who are you supposed to be. She replied I'm Twilight and you get your device out of my face, I would be glad to show you around. Matt, put the gun down. Alright, so horse where "can we find the doctor". Excuse me i am a pony. Sorry for my mistake, but the fact is your mind doesn't work that well after you get stranded on an alien planet with no way off. Matt calm down, so Twilight right? she replied yes. okay My friend has a sprained leg and it needs medical attention right away so can you help, and put in a word around town that we're friendly. Joe spoke up and asked if there was a place where we could stay. Twilight said "I don't know but ill ask apple jack if she has room in her barn or something".
At the pony hospital Mario got a splint for his leg. He was lucky that it was a minor sprain and would be fine after a few weeks. It was almost night by the time I asked what there was to eat around here. One of the nurses said mostly fruits and vegetables. I asked if there was meat or something. She looked at me in disgust. I asked whats wrong. Uh I don't care what you eat on you planet but we don't eat our own kind here. can we some salads then please. sure ill have them delivered to your room. I went back in the room to find Joe asleep on the floor next to one of the chairs. Matt looked like he was going into hibernation he was so tired. Then I looked over at Mario who asked "what was there to eat". I replied "no choice of protein". Great Mario said, I said well "I guess salads" will do right. After diner Mario fell asleep same with Matt. I was still awake, I walked over to the window wondering. I looked up in the sky and noticed what appeared to be a Pegasus. I took out my binoculars to get a better view. It appeared that she covered in blood trying to wipe it off before anyone noticed. she was stationed on a small cloud, but then she looked down at me. Then just like that she was gone. In the morning Twilight came by with a yellow orange looking pony and said. everypony this is Apple jack, she is going to let you stay at her place for as long as you want.
Sorry if this offended anyone who actually does serve in our military. I just went on whatever I knew.

Zach, Zachary wake up. Huh, what happened. Dude your were screaming. It was actually pretty funny. I looked outside to notice it was almost daylight. "I had the weirdest dream". Bout' what Matt asked? Apple Jack and That blue pony, they tied me up. Oh god I cant remember. While we were talking Apple Jack came in, and asked to talk to me. I gave here a gaze that wasn't so pleasant. "What do you want" I asked. can I speak to you outside the barn please, she asked. I said "fine". As we were walking out I kept my hand on the gun the whole time. She apologized for what happened last night. Wait that wasn't a dream I was having then? She looked blank after I said that. She said look you got to help me. With what, honestly I don't think I should considering that fact you tied me up last night, And god knows what you did to me! Well its Rainbow Dash You have to stop her, shes out of control. What do you mean. She pointed up into the air and what I could make out to be a floating city. Shes killing the young. Tell me how I can get up there and we will take care of It. how can we get up there. ask Twilight she'll know. Okay that's all I need to know. Before she could talk again, I pulled out my Five-seven and said, sat one fucking word I will kill you. Now go into the barn.
Zach what are you doing? Mario asked. Before I answered a bang filled the barn and Apple Jack fell over, on the ground. She was gasping for air. I took a knee and asked her how it felt. she gave me a death stare, I will put a bullet in you're brain, If you tell anyone about this. Matt Grab the HK XM25 from the bag. Also grab me the Vector and we'll be out of here. Hey Mario are you okay staying here and watching Apple Jack so she doesn't get help.
