Wonders of Faction 12by Kasparkova ProductionsChaptersChapter 1: Memory FlankChapter 2: That Special Some Pony ♥Chapter 3: DreamChapter 4: My Guardian AngelChapter 5: That Unsuspected PonyChapter 1: Memory Flank"Ouch my aching head!" I said while sitting up and rubbing it. "Whoa, uhmm.. where am I? Wait a minute.. who am I?" I got up and went to the door way. I stuck my head out there to make sure it was safe because waking up in an empty room with a blood trial and with no pony to be seen is very unusual. So I gotta stay alert. I went down the hall way and saw a sign, it read "Bunker 97". Sill walking down the hall I started to smell something horrible. The smell got stronger the further I went. This part of the hall way was dark and some of the lights that worked were flashing and sparking. What I saw every time the light flashed was.. terrible.. just terrible. Bodies were every where, blood stains on the walls and ceiling. The bodies had to of been decaying for weeks or more. "A great battle must of happened here." I thought to myself. I notice that some of them had a Uniform on with colors of Red, Purple, and Grey. Guessing it was a militia. Everypony had on a badge that had two numbers on it "12". Then it hit me like some pony throwing a brick at my head as hard as they could. I remembered. It was an attack by the Unicorns from the west. Sirens going off, ponies yelling and screaming. Faction 12 Troopers and militia grabbing battle saddles. Then there was a huge explosion at the bunkers entrance. Shots were fired. Bodies dropping. One of the attackers yelled take no prisoners. Me and some guards wearing the uniform that had the same colors as the one I saw with same numbers 12 fell back. I was hit in the back with a slug, still awake dragged into a white room with a blood trial. Lady Wynter (Winter), Leader of Unicorns of the West said to one of her soldiers "Execute him. We take NO prisoners.". "Right away mam" said the mare. He leaned down to my ear and whispered "I'm sorry". Then hit me hard in the head with a iron pipe which knocked me back into reality. I got back up and rubbed my head (again). I was really hungry so I looked to see if the bunker had a cafeteria. It did but one problem. All of the food were canned and there was no can opener. I just smashed it open with my hoof and the vegetables splattered all over the floor. I ate it anyways. I felt like it was time for me to leave the bunker sense I felt stable. Not only that I was getting sick to my stomach from the horrendous smell . I scavenged what I could find. - A bag full of stuff - A battle saddle - canteen - 2 cans of food (with no can opener) - Nap sack I figured I was ready to leave. The exit was blocked by a couple of bodies but I notice something about some of the them, the enemy or the attacker had a horn like in my flashback I believe. From what I remember is that the horned ones are the magic wielders. Their uniform was a cape with colors of black, grey, and blue symbol that represented Unicorns of the West. Any who, I pushed the bodies out the way and walked outside. The sun beamed into my eyes and blinded me for a second or two. I rubbed them and blinked. My vision came back. I looked around for anypony. No pony to be seen. Everything was so beautiful and green. I looked up to see what was making the moving shadow. I thought it was a bird but it wasn't. It was a uhh.. a flying pony? He spotted me and in full speed. I readied my battle saddle for combat but it wasn't a mare at all. He was a she and she tackled me, squeezing me super hard to where I couldn't breath. I tried to say something but all I could get out was "Can't.. Breath!.." She stopped and said "Oh sorry Cass. Its just been so long how did you survive the war that happened here? You've been missing for 2 months! Every one was devastated for you missing sir." "Uhhh.. Wait. Did you call me Cass?" Author's Note Chapter 2: That Special Some Pony ♥"Yes sir" She said happily. "Ok, ok. So who are you?" "Me? Lieutenant Fridzy (Frit - Z) of course. Wait, why? Don't you remember me?" "I don't. All I remember is being attacked and knocked out some unicorn." "Ouch, sorry to hear." she said sounding heart broken. "No big deal really, I have to say that it is fantastic you found me and thank god I didn't open fire on you!" "I'm happy to hear that sir except the fact you were going to shoot me but if there's any thing I can do to re jog you're memory tell me." "Ok I will, well you can start telling me my name." "Alright, you're name is Kasparkova Dovv (CaspAR - Kova Dove). Lead General of the entire Faction 12. Your an amazing leader and believes nothing is impossible to achieve. Your just so wonderful and.." "uh.. Fridzy." "I wish we could of gotten to know.." "FRIDZY!" "What? Oh sorry you didn't need to hear all that,.. Forget I said anything." I could hear her voice shrink. I could also tell she had a crush on me or something easily. She turned red and her wings were popped out. "Uhmm, Fridzy." I said softly. "I didn't mean to yell or anything but you need to show me the way back before sundown." "Right. Right away sir. Follow me and we'll be back to the HQ in no time." she quickly leaped up into the air and started flying. "Hey keep up slow poke!" She said from a distance. I had to keep up the paste eve though I had a feeling she would never leave me behind but I hate to have her stop every time I fell behind. We (meaning I) went up and down large hills, threw think forest, and we stopped by a beach at sundown. "we're almost there." "Fridzy. I need to rest." I said out of breath. "We've been going at this all day! I can't go any further." "Well alright. We're only like 2 hours away at this paste." "We've been traveling for nearly 8 hours. I can't handle 2 more. Besides how do you come back and forth through here to scout out for me? It has to be exhausting." "No not really. It normally only takes me about an hour to get from place to place. Also because I have these bad boys!" She says leaning forward and pops out her wings. "Ahaha, yeah. For what I would give for a pair of though's. Well if you would please go out and gather some sticks and twigs for the fire while I set up camp?" "Sure Cass I'll Be right back." It took me awhile getting used to being called Cass. Still can't believe that I'm a leader of a faction that is under siege by a nation. I thought to my self. What if I'm not what they need to turn the war around? What if I end up killing my own faction by leading them to their death? What if I don't go and they loose the war and I was the one that could help them! But what if I'm a coward and I don't even know it? I ended up giving my self a headache. By the time I was finished setting up camp Fridzy was back with a lot of sticks. "Ya know. When I said we were going to have a fire. I didn't mean a bond fire." "I know. Thought we could use some of it to help you set up camp. Looks like you don't need'em at all. That was always you. Always thinking a head and doing the hard jobs by you're self." "Yeah I don't need them but before we rest can you tell me how we met?" "Sure! So exciting because you never asking me something about between me and you." So there we were on the beach shore with a little fire, did I say little? I mean Huge. As we talked and she telling me how I took her in my resistance group and told her that she will be forever safe if she stayed with us. Oh and how we saved many others from Wynter and they joined us agreeing to help out in any way. But she told me how we really met when I told her that this wasn't saying how we did she said sorry and started telling that her family was attacked and killed by the great Wynter Ruler and she survived because of her dad and told her to run and never look back. As she was running she found us fighting to protect everyone as we could. She said she saw many of us die but we never gave up we pushed on and when they fell back she begged me to let her join us. She told me I agreed instantly and the story basically restarts. I told her its best for us to get some sleep and we fell asleep with the nice sound of the ocean behind us. It was a beautiful night. _________________________________________________ Chapter 3 is next! Chapter 3: DreamI was running, I was running from fear. Something was there but I didn't know what. Every turn I made was a dead end in this dark forest.Then I had no where else to go. So I closed my eyes and hoped for what was coming for me not to be painful. When I opened my eyes Fridzy was shaking me. "Cass wake up! Your're having a nightmare!" "Ahh! I'm up I'm up! You can stop shaking me." "It's morning and we need to hurry to get back to the the HQ." "Right." We started packing up and by the time we were done we heard yelling coming from the woods. It wasn't yelling of help, it was more of the kind of bandits coming for us. Fridzy readied her machete and I readied her battle saddle. He couldn't run away because it would of been useless. These ponies as they came out of the woods looked like they haven't eaten anything for days. All they had for weapons was switch blades and knifes. They surrounded us. One came charging at me. Fridzy leaped in the air and charged down right at him using the machete to slice from one part of the neck to the other, clean slice. Three more charged in and I opened fire. Their bodies dropped as I imagined a castle would. But there was way to many to handle. They wanted food I can tell, and they wanted it badly. I just opened fire and killed as many as I could while Fridzy was doing the same. They didn't retreat for how many numbers of them has fallen. They just kept coming. Fridzy and I were covered in blood and I could tell she was as tired as I was. I was out of ammo and I had a feeling this would be our last moment. We hugged each other and closed our eyes. I felt her shacking and her heart beating fast. We didn't have a chance. Then they came. The Pegasus came with AK's and a tank rolled up with some jeeps with mounted 50 Cals. Somepony was sitting on the tank and ordered his soldiers to clear them out and to protect us. "Thought y'all could use a hand." he said with a cigar in his mouth and with a smirk across his face. "Oh thank you commander! I thought we were goners for a minute." Fridzy seem to know him He chuckled "Y'all would of been if I hadn't shown up. Figured you were in trouble or you actually found Cass so I thought you would want a escort or for your flank to be saved." They laughed "Commander we were in need of saving and I did find Cass!" He got serous. "You found him?" "Yes sir. He's right here." "Commander? Who are you?" I asked "Cass he's Commander Jam. You gave him that rank for being your right hand man. Commander he lost his memory at the battle of Bunker 97. Wynter was there sir!" "Wynter? Why would she be there? She had to of been looking for something important for her to be there. Even though Cass was there, she kept him alive." "Jam she ordered one of her soldiers to kill me. She did not want me to live. Yet the soldier said sorry to be before hitting me over my head. That's all I remember from.. well anything." "I see. You are in no condition for leading Faction 12." One of the Pegasus flew up, Saluted, and said "Sir, all bandits are cleared out of the area. "Fantastic Sargent Gemini. Now if you would please drive them back to the HQ?" "Of course Commander. You two, follow me." He lead us to the armored jeep then we took off. He was driving. "So why are you so important?" Fridzy got offended. "What do you mean 'Why is he so important?' He's the Head Leader of this faction. He created it. He is what I've been searching for when I head out for though's 2 months. And yet you ask Why is he so bucking important?!" "Fridzy its okay. I barely know my own self. Besides he must be new." I told her trying to calm her down. "Yeah you're right. He's only been with us for only a month." It got quiet fast. Then what broke the silence was a loud whistle. The glass shattered and Sargent Gemini's head was shot and his blood splattered all over whats left of the window. The jeep flipped about 5 times. Me and Fridzy crawled out from under the jeep. Somepony yelled "Sniper!" Everyone ducked and covered. Same pony yelled "Tankmen 9 o' clock, ready your weapons!" "Tankmen?" I asked. "who are they and why are they attacking us and where are they?" Fridzy explained "They are a group of 5 highly trained snipers and assassins. You can tell where they are from the sound of the bullet. You always hated them." Another whistling shot and complete took of a pony's head. "I can see why." they shot another one this time a miss. "They have to be nearly a mile away for the shot to take a second or 2 to get here." "Like I said, highly trained snipers if they can hit one of us." A pony was hit hard in the leg. He dropped. Fridzy yelled "Trooper down!" She ran right at him trying to pull him to safety and there it was. A shot was fired and I knew where it was headed. Right, At, Her. Everything froze. I had 2 choices right now. Either sit here and watch her die or.. Time started speeding up again. I quickly started to run right at her and yelled "WATCH OUT!" and I shoved her and the wounded pony out of the way and I was hit in my chest. Everything went black. Ringing in my ears. I could see fuzzy and I saw I was getting patched up by by a medic. A sharp shooter of our own had a music note on his leather coat. He was excited for some reason. I tried reading his lips, I think he said were safe for now. I got dragged in to another armor jeep and Fridzy was by my side in tears holding my hoof. My hearing came back a little. I heard her say. "Please, please I don't want to loose you again.." Author's Note Chapter 4 will be coming up next! Chapter 4: My Guardian AngelI was trapped in a dead end. I was shaking from fear. My eyes were closed. I then felt a hoof on my shoulder. I opened my eyes then looked up. She.. she was beautiful. She helped me back up and said. "Your not alone." She was tall with wings and a horn. "I have faith you will restore order to the lands." I woke up and sat up quickly and shouted "Crylist!". I was in a medical room. I looked around and saw that Fridzy, Jam, the doctor, and the pony that was the sniper looking at me strangely. Fridzy broke the silence. "Oh Cass thank goodness your alive!" She hugged me. "Yeah I'm glad I am alive.. ok you can let go now. Your hurting my wound." My side felt like a knife was in it being twisted. "Sorry." "Its all good. It wont kill me." I laughed with pain. "Crylist? Whos that?" Jam asked "Not sure. I had a dream of her. She was tall and have the same things as a Pegasus and a unicorn have." "She's a Alicorn that used to rule Hondorus. She was over powered by Wynter. No one has never seen her again." The pony with the music note said. First time ever seeing a cutie mark on any pony. He had a Record as a cutie mark. "Who are you? And thank you for saving me by taking them out." "The names Delta Rexx. I didn't take them out no pony has never made it with in 20 yards of one of'em. Just took a few pop shots at them to scare them away." "Again you have my thanks.." He took off his hat. ".. Your a unicorn?" "I am." "Cass he is your personal guardian. He normally always ends up saving your butt." Fridzy said with a giggle. "General I suggest you take it easy for the next 24 hours." Doctor said to me. "Yeah we should let you rest Casper. Come on y'all lets get out of here." Delta Rexx told the others. "Delta Rexx can you stay for a minute?" "Yeah of course Casper. What do you need?" Everypony else left the room. Fridzy took her time walking out and closing the door. I began thing I need to speak to her when I get out of here. "Just wanted to talk. Why are you here and why do they trust you?" "You really did loose your memory didn't you? The reason why I'm here is to make sure your alright. I failed to protect you at the battle of Bunker 97. I was one your guards. I ran away and let you get captured. So I thought I might as well pretend to be one of her soldiers and you were lucky enough she chose me to kill you. I said.." "I'm sorry." I whispered. "Yeah.. that. How come you remember that?" "My memory comes back in headaches. When I recognize something I normally have a flashback and the memory of that moment comes back. Its a pain but its the only way of getting my memory back." "I see. It's good having you back Casper." "Glad to be back Delta Rexx." "Please, call me Rexx." "No problem, by the way. I know almost everypony's rank now so whats yours?" "Mine? Its Captain. Captain Rexx." "Okay. So can you tell me from your point of view of Fridzy?" "Uh. Okay. Unusual question but okay. Shes tough. Shes trust worthy. She is the fastest pony we have here. She loves you, and when you were missing she would never stop crying and she had a belief that you were still alive. I should of trusted her." he looked down causing the shadow from his hat to only show the bottom part of his face. "*Sigh*, If I would of trusted her you wouldn't be hurt like this.. If I would of followed orders and not fail at my job you would still have you memory." "Don't beat your self up Rexx. You are amazing. If you weren't you would probably be a part of Wynter's army. Don't worry about it okay. Its in the past and we cant fix the past. Only shape our future. Well I'm going to get some rest now. See you tomorrow Rexx." "Thanks Casper. Good talk." He got up turned off the light and closed the door. Author's Note Chapter 5 Hope you remember the Tankmen.. Chapter 5: That Unsuspected PonyI woke up the next morning feeling a lot better then I did yesterday. I got on all fours off the bed and went out the door. I saw Jam talking to somepony. They saluted to each other and parted ways. "Morning Cass. Sleep well?" He asked. "Morning. Yeah I feel a lot better. You know were Fridzy is? I need to talk with her." "Yeah she's on the roof, last floor up. Just go threw though's doors and take the stairs. Want me to get somepony to assist you up them?" "No, no I'll be fine. Thank you Jam." "My pleasure." I went up the flight of stairs wishing there was an elevator. Out of breath I finally made reached the roof. I saw Fridzy standing on a ledge. She noticed me and leaped over to me. "Good morning Cass. You must be feeling a lot better if you made it up though's stairs." "Yeah. Hey whats your job here? Sense your all the way up here. "My job? I'm a scout for the sniping squad. I'm the fastest pony in our Faction. Nothing can hit me. Also if I'm not out scouting them I'm off searching for objects things lost like squads or out looking for spy's and what not." "Okay. Cool.Hey listen, the reason why I'm really here is because I need to talk to you about something. Some stuff about how I feel about you." "Yeah and.." Fridzy eyes got big and she walked closer to me. I froze for a second. "Cass, you there?" everything sounded echoy. "Uhhh, sorry. Guess I'm still tired from going up the stairs." I lied "Well again the reason why I'm up here is to talk to you..." an alarm went off. Jams voice was on the speaker. "We are under attack! All out post down! Ready our defense, prepare for battle!!" We ran (I ran, Fridzy flew) down stairs over to Jam. Delta was there with him. "Whos attacking us?" I asked. Fridzy and Delta said Yeah? at the same time to Jam. "I don't know. But we must prepare for the worst. Anything can happen." "Agreed." Delta said. We went over to the front of the HQ on the roof. We watched and waited for five minutes and saw one pony running at our front gates. Delta looked through his sniper rifle. "A Tankmen." "A Tankmen? Why would just one of them be running at us?" I asked "Take him out!" Jam commanded all units through a radio. They all opened fire with machine guns, rocket launchers, and grenades. He was jumping all around dodging all of our fire power, jumping on rockets and turning the back at us. We jumped for cover and our gates blew right open with a large vibration. "Thats no ordinary Tankmen. Thats the leader!" Delta yelled. "Wheres the rest of his men?" Jam asked furiously. "Try in our HQ. Our men are dropping like bowling pins." Fridzy replied. We heard one of them yell as they were fighting "Kasparkova shall fall with his men!" "I turned around and the Tankmen leader was standing on the ledge with a scythe on his back and a sniper rifle crossed. Then I remembered. He was Truedeath. I was training with him when were little. We were best of friends until Wynter currupted him with a dark spell. He killed our master then he and his four other friends created a group called Tankmen. Tank in meaning unstoppable. After the death of master they then tried getting me to join but I resisted. I held on to my pride, loyalty, and honor. For me saying no they attempted to kill me. I fought back, I was stronger. I was the better pony. They ran away swearing for vengeance. Expectantly Truedeath. I lost a master and my brothers.. Coming back into reality. I never knew I knew how to fight like the way I did with Truedeath. But now I do. I can do what he can. "Truedeath?" "You know him?" asked Fridzy "But you hated them for years and never told any of us you knew him?" She felt betrayed. I could see it on her face, "I'm sorry. I can't remember why I.. I do remember, I was a shamed for knowing him." "How touching. I see I didn't kill you yet. Figured the bullet would of taken you out." He had a weird ascent, like British mixed with high class Australian. He had a light blond hair, quite long. It covered up one eye and he had a molecule in the other. Again another pony with no cutie mark. "Kova, I need to ask as your still alive. Why don't you die? I mean your fighting for a lost cause." "I do whats right." "Yes, yes I know. Wait whats this a unicorn? This is hysterical! You left the all mighty Wynter to die with these fools?" "Casper is a good leader! If I must I would rather die by his side know I did for a good cause." "Wait a minute. Your the sniper that did this to me arn't you?" He uncovered the right part of his face from his hair reveling a scar across his cheek. "You were really close. To bad you didn't kill me." he chuckled. "Well Kova, lets make a deal. I see that you greatly love your friends here so how about this.." our men were brought up with swords and guns pointed at them then forced to the fround. "I spare their lives for your head. What do you say?" I thought for a moment. Fridzy said "Cass Don't listen to him!" I had no other choice but to listen to him. If I don't they'll die because of me but then again because of Wynter. I had a plan. "Truedeath, I'll let you take my head but let me say my last goodbyes." "Cass please don't." Fridzy was about to cry. I walked over to delta and told him something in a low voice so no one can hear. I walked over to Truedeath. "I'm ready for my fate." I closed my eyes and leaned my head forward. I hear him pull out something. I opened my eyes looked over at Delta and smiled. As I heard the wind being sliced I jumped out of the way and Delta used a Blinding spell to (of coarse) Blind him and the four others. As they were blinded Jam ordered everypony to take the Tankmen down and tie them up. "Delta was on the floor. I trotted up to him. "Whats wrong?" I asked in a panic. "I'm not good with magic but, but I'll be fine." "Hope so. You saved us all." I had the medics take him away to aid him. A soldier tole me that the Tankmen were tied up with their vision back. I remembered that Truedeath had a spell on them that made them like this. "I should of killed you when I had a chance you hear Kova!" "I wish I could have you back my friend." I had a hard headache. Something was calling me.. calling me to go back to the bunker 97. Something is there.. Thats why Wynter was there because she was looking for it. It... Author's Note Keep up with the story and wait for next week for chapter 6!
Chapter 1: Memory Flank"Ouch my aching head!" I said while sitting up and rubbing it. "Whoa, uhmm.. where am I? Wait a minute.. who am I?" I got up and went to the door way.

Chapter 2: That Special Some Pony ♥"Yes sir" She said happily. "Ok, ok. So who are you?" "Me? Lieutenant Fridzy (Frit - Z) of course. Wait, why? Don't you remember me?" "I don't. All I remember is being attacked and knocked out some unicorn." "Ouch, sorry to hear." she said sounding heart broken. "No big deal really, I have to say that it is fantastic you found me and thank god I didn't open fire on you!"

But she told me how we really met when I told her that this wasn't saying how we did she said sorry and started telling that her family was attacked and killed by the great Wynter Ruler and she survived because of her dad and told her to run and never look back. As she was running she found us fighting to protect everyone as we could. She said she saw many of us die but we never gave up we pushed on and when they fell back she begged me to let her join us. She told me I agreed instantly and the story basically restarts. I told her its best for us to get some sleep and we fell asleep with the nice sound of the ocean behind us. It was a beautiful night. _________________________________________________ Chapter 3 is next!
Chapter 3: DreamI was running, I was running from fear. Something was there but I didn't know what. Every turn I made was a dead end in this dark forest.Then I had no where else to go. So I closed my eyes and hoped for what was coming for me not to be painful. When I opened my eyes Fridzy was shaking me. "Cass wake up! Your're having a nightmare!" "Ahh! I'm up I'm up! You can stop shaking me." "It's morning and we need to hurry to get back to the the HQ." "Right." We started packing up and by the time we were done we heard yelling coming from the woods. It wasn't yelling of help, it was more of the kind of bandits coming for us. Fridzy readied her machete and I readied her battle saddle. He couldn't run away because it would of been useless. These ponies as they came out of the woods looked like they haven't eaten anything for days. All they had for weapons was switch blades and knifes. They surrounded us. One came charging at me. Fridzy leaped in the air and charged down right at him using the machete to slice from one part of the neck to the other, clean slice. Three more charged in and I opened fire. Their bodies dropped as I imagined a castle would. But there was way to many to handle. They wanted food I can tell, and they wanted it badly. I just opened fire and killed as many as I could while Fridzy was doing the same. They didn't retreat for how many numbers of them has fallen. They just kept coming. Fridzy and I were covered in blood and I could tell she was as tired as I was. I was out of ammo and I had a feeling this would be our last moment. We hugged each other and closed our eyes. I felt her shacking and her heart beating fast. We didn't have a chance. Then they came. The Pegasus came with AK's and a tank rolled up with some jeeps with mounted 50 Cals. Somepony was sitting on the tank and ordered his soldiers to clear them out and to protect us. "Thought y'all could use a hand." he said with a cigar in his mouth and with a smirk across his face. "Oh thank you commander! I thought we were goners for a minute." Fridzy seem to know him He chuckled "Y'all would of been if I hadn't shown up. Figured you were in trouble or you actually found Cass so I thought you would want a escort or for your flank to be saved." They laughed "Commander we were in need of saving and I did find Cass!" He got serous. "You found him?" "Yes sir. He's right here." "Commander? Who are you?" I asked "Cass he's Commander Jam. You gave him that rank for being your right hand man. Commander he lost his memory at the battle of Bunker 97. Wynter was there sir!" "Wynter? Why would she be there? She had to of been looking for something important for her to be there. Even though Cass was there, she kept him alive." "Jam she ordered one of her soldiers to kill me. She did not want me to live. Yet the soldier said sorry to be before hitting me over my head. That's all I remember from.. well anything." "I see. You are in no condition for leading Faction 12." One of the Pegasus flew up, Saluted, and said "Sir, all bandits are cleared out of the area. "Fantastic Sargent Gemini. Now if you would please drive them back to the HQ?" "Of course Commander. You two, follow me." He lead us to the armored jeep then we took off. He was driving. "So why are you so important?" Fridzy got offended. "What do you mean 'Why is he so important?' He's the Head Leader of this faction. He created it. He is what I've been searching for when I head out for though's 2 months. And yet you ask Why is he so bucking important?!" "Fridzy its okay. I barely know my own self. Besides he must be new." I told her trying to calm her down. "Yeah you're right. He's only been with us for only a month." It got quiet fast. Then what broke the silence was a loud whistle. The glass shattered and Sargent Gemini's head was shot and his blood splattered all over whats left of the window. The jeep flipped about 5 times. Me and Fridzy crawled out from under the jeep. Somepony yelled "Sniper!" Everyone ducked and covered. Same pony yelled "Tankmen 9 o' clock, ready your weapons!" "Tankmen?" I asked. "who are they and why are they attacking us and where are they?" Fridzy explained "They are a group of 5 highly trained snipers and assassins. You can tell where they are from the sound of the bullet. You always hated them." Another whistling shot and complete took of a pony's head. "I can see why." they shot another one this time a miss. "They have to be nearly a mile away for the shot to take a second or 2 to get here." "Like I said, highly trained snipers if they can hit one of us." A pony was hit hard in the leg. He dropped. Fridzy yelled "Trooper down!" She ran right at him trying to pull him to safety and there it was. A shot was fired and I knew where it was headed. Right, At, Her. Everything froze. I had 2 choices right now. Either sit here and watch her die or.. Time started speeding up again. I quickly started to run right at her and yelled "WATCH OUT!" and I shoved her and the wounded pony out of the way and I was hit in my chest. Everything went black. Ringing in my ears. I could see fuzzy and I saw I was getting patched up by by a medic. A sharp shooter of our own had a music note on his leather coat. He was excited for some reason. I tried reading his lips, I think he said were safe for now. I got dragged in to another armor jeep and Fridzy was by my side in tears holding my hoof. My hearing came back a little. I heard her say. "Please, please I don't want to loose you again.." Author's Note Chapter 4 will be coming up next!
Chapter 4: My Guardian AngelI was trapped in a dead end. I was shaking from fear. My eyes were closed. I then felt a hoof on my shoulder. I opened my eyes then looked up. She.. she was beautiful. She helped me back up and said. "Your not alone." She was tall with wings and a horn. "I have faith you will restore order to the lands." I woke up and sat up quickly and shouted "Crylist!". I was in a medical room. I looked around and saw that Fridzy, Jam, the doctor, and the pony that was the sniper looking at me strangely. Fridzy broke the silence. "Oh Cass thank goodness your alive!" She hugged me. "Yeah I'm glad I am alive.. ok you can let go now. Your hurting my wound." My side felt like a knife was in it being twisted. "Sorry." "Its all good. It wont kill me." I laughed with pain. "Crylist? Whos that?" Jam asked "Not sure. I had a dream of her. She was tall and have the same things as a Pegasus and a unicorn have." "She's a Alicorn that used to rule Hondorus. She was over powered by Wynter. No one has never seen her again." The pony with the music note said. First time ever seeing a cutie mark on any pony. He had a Record as a cutie mark. "Who are you? And thank you for saving me by taking them out." "The names Delta Rexx. I didn't take them out no pony has never made it with in 20 yards of one of'em. Just took a few pop shots at them to scare them away." "Again you have my thanks.." He took off his hat. ".. Your a unicorn?" "I am." "Cass he is your personal guardian. He normally always ends up saving your butt." Fridzy said with a giggle. "General I suggest you take it easy for the next 24 hours." Doctor said to me. "Yeah we should let you rest Casper. Come on y'all lets get out of here." Delta Rexx told the others. "Delta Rexx can you stay for a minute?" "Yeah of course Casper. What do you need?" Everypony else left the room. Fridzy took her time walking out and closing the door. I began thing I need to speak to her when I get out of here. "Just wanted to talk. Why are you here and why do they trust you?" "You really did loose your memory didn't you? The reason why I'm here is to make sure your alright. I failed to protect you at the battle of Bunker 97. I was one your guards. I ran away and let you get captured. So I thought I might as well pretend to be one of her soldiers and you were lucky enough she chose me to kill you. I said.." "I'm sorry." I whispered. "Yeah.. that. How come you remember that?" "My memory comes back in headaches. When I recognize something I normally have a flashback and the memory of that moment comes back. Its a pain but its the only way of getting my memory back." "I see. It's good having you back Casper." "Glad to be back Delta Rexx." "Please, call me Rexx." "No problem, by the way. I know almost everypony's rank now so whats yours?" "Mine? Its Captain. Captain Rexx." "Okay. So can you tell me from your point of view of Fridzy?" "Uh. Okay. Unusual question but okay. Shes tough. Shes trust worthy. She is the fastest pony we have here. She loves you, and when you were missing she would never stop crying and she had a belief that you were still alive. I should of trusted her." he looked down causing the shadow from his hat to only show the bottom part of his face. "*Sigh*, If I would of trusted her you wouldn't be hurt like this.. If I would of followed orders and not fail at my job you would still have you memory." "Don't beat your self up Rexx. You are amazing. If you weren't you would probably be a part of Wynter's army. Don't worry about it okay. Its in the past and we cant fix the past. Only shape our future. Well I'm going to get some rest now. See you tomorrow Rexx." "Thanks Casper. Good talk." He got up turned off the light and closed the door. Author's Note Chapter 5 Hope you remember the Tankmen..
Chapter 5: That Unsuspected PonyI woke up the next morning feeling a lot better then I did yesterday. I got on all fours off the bed and went out the door. I saw Jam talking to somepony. They saluted to each other and parted ways. "Morning Cass. Sleep well?" He asked. "Morning. Yeah I feel a lot better. You know were Fridzy is? I need to talk with her." "Yeah she's on the roof, last floor up. Just go threw though's doors and take the stairs. Want me to get somepony to assist you up them?" "No, no I'll be fine. Thank you Jam." "My pleasure." I went up the flight of stairs wishing there was an elevator. Out of breath I finally made reached the roof. I saw Fridzy standing on a ledge. She noticed me and leaped over to me. "Good morning Cass. You must be feeling a lot better if you made it up though's stairs." "Yeah. Hey whats your job here? Sense your all the way up here. "My job? I'm a scout for the sniping squad. I'm the fastest pony in our Faction. Nothing can hit me. Also if I'm not out scouting them I'm off searching for objects things lost like squads or out looking for spy's and what not." "Okay. Cool.Hey listen, the reason why I'm really here is because I need to talk to you about something. Some stuff about how I feel about you." "Yeah and.." Fridzy eyes got big and she walked closer to me. I froze for a second. "Cass, you there?" everything sounded echoy. "Uhhh, sorry. Guess I'm still tired from going up the stairs." I lied "Well again the reason why I'm up here is to talk to you..." an alarm went off. Jams voice was on the speaker. "We are under attack! All out post down! Ready our defense, prepare for battle!!" We ran (I ran, Fridzy flew) down stairs over to Jam. Delta was there with him. "Whos attacking us?" I asked. Fridzy and Delta said Yeah? at the same time to Jam. "I don't know. But we must prepare for the worst. Anything can happen." "Agreed." Delta said. We went over to the front of the HQ on the roof. We watched and waited for five minutes and saw one pony running at our front gates. Delta looked through his sniper rifle. "A Tankmen." "A Tankmen? Why would just one of them be running at us?" I asked "Take him out!" Jam commanded all units through a radio. They all opened fire with machine guns, rocket launchers, and grenades. He was jumping all around dodging all of our fire power, jumping on rockets and turning the back at us. We jumped for cover and our gates blew right open with a large vibration. "Thats no ordinary Tankmen. Thats the leader!" Delta yelled. "Wheres the rest of his men?" Jam asked furiously. "Try in our HQ. Our men are dropping like bowling pins." Fridzy replied. We heard one of them yell as they were fighting "Kasparkova shall fall with his men!" "I turned around and the Tankmen leader was standing on the ledge with a scythe on his back and a sniper rifle crossed. Then I remembered. He was Truedeath. I was training with him when were little. We were best of friends until Wynter currupted him with a dark spell. He killed our master then he and his four other friends created a group called Tankmen. Tank in meaning unstoppable. After the death of master they then tried getting me to join but I resisted. I held on to my pride, loyalty, and honor. For me saying no they attempted to kill me. I fought back, I was stronger. I was the better pony. They ran away swearing for vengeance. Expectantly Truedeath. I lost a master and my brothers.. Coming back into reality. I never knew I knew how to fight like the way I did with Truedeath. But now I do. I can do what he can. "Truedeath?" "You know him?" asked Fridzy "But you hated them for years and never told any of us you knew him?" She felt betrayed. I could see it on her face, "I'm sorry. I can't remember why I.. I do remember, I was a shamed for knowing him." "How touching. I see I didn't kill you yet. Figured the bullet would of taken you out." He had a weird ascent, like British mixed with high class Australian. He had a light blond hair, quite long. It covered up one eye and he had a molecule in the other. Again another pony with no cutie mark. "Kova, I need to ask as your still alive. Why don't you die? I mean your fighting for a lost cause." "I do whats right." "Yes, yes I know. Wait whats this a unicorn? This is hysterical! You left the all mighty Wynter to die with these fools?" "Casper is a good leader! If I must I would rather die by his side know I did for a good cause." "Wait a minute. Your the sniper that did this to me arn't you?" He uncovered the right part of his face from his hair reveling a scar across his cheek. "You were really close. To bad you didn't kill me." he chuckled. "Well Kova, lets make a deal. I see that you greatly love your friends here so how about this.." our men were brought up with swords and guns pointed at them then forced to the fround. "I spare their lives for your head. What do you say?" I thought for a moment. Fridzy said "Cass Don't listen to him!" I had no other choice but to listen to him. If I don't they'll die because of me but then again because of Wynter. I had a plan. "Truedeath, I'll let you take my head but let me say my last goodbyes." "Cass please don't." Fridzy was about to cry. I walked over to delta and told him something in a low voice so no one can hear. I walked over to Truedeath. "I'm ready for my fate." I closed my eyes and leaned my head forward. I hear him pull out something. I opened my eyes looked over at Delta and smiled. As I heard the wind being sliced I jumped out of the way and Delta used a Blinding spell to (of coarse) Blind him and the four others. As they were blinded Jam ordered everypony to take the Tankmen down and tie them up. "Delta was on the floor. I trotted up to him. "Whats wrong?" I asked in a panic. "I'm not good with magic but, but I'll be fine." "Hope so. You saved us all." I had the medics take him away to aid him. A soldier tole me that the Tankmen were tied up with their vision back. I remembered that Truedeath had a spell on them that made them like this. "I should of killed you when I had a chance you hear Kova!" "I wish I could have you back my friend." I had a hard headache. Something was calling me.. calling me to go back to the bunker 97. Something is there.. Thats why Wynter was there because she was looking for it. It... Author's Note Keep up with the story and wait for next week for chapter 6!
