SOCOM: Equestria

Ch. 6: Calm Before the Storm

The walk/ride back to Ponyville was rather uneventful. James still couldn't wrap his head around the fact that this world was inhabited by setient animals. I decide to ask James a question since he probably would know the answer, "James do you know how to make gun powder, casing and bullets?"

He nodded and said "Yeah but I don't think you're gonna need to know how to do that."

"Why?"

"When my crew and I got transported here we had used all but one of our sabot and had six HE rounds left, but when we first arrived we decided to check our ammo for damage and we some how had a full stock of sabot, HE and HEAT rounds also both turrets had full ammo after we arrived here and our loader said that after he removed a shell it was instantly replaced with another."

Hearing this info I thought back to the times I had used my fire arms and realized that I never heard the distinctive 'CLICK' of an empty pistol or AR after firing the alotted number of shots for a clip. I thought that I was too hyped up on adrenaline to notice the click. So upon hearing this new information, I had 13 shots in my pistol because of the extended magazine 1 in the chamber 12 in the magazine.

I pointed the pistol at a target and fired thirteen times and the slide didn't lock back but I wasn't worried because this had happened before, but I was worried after I pulled the trigger 3 more times that there wasn't the distinctive click for an empty pistol. I took out the clip and looked to see there were still bullets in the clip.

"Well I'll be damned James you were right I guess the magic in this world somehow doesn't let us run out of bullets," I accidently touched the barrel and man was it hot, "FUCK! But it does absolutly nothing to dampen barrel so be careful or we will have to find out how to make new barrels fo my guns and your tank."

James nodded in agreement and replied, "Yeah I am glad I found you before w tested out that possibility because it would be very difficult to make a tank barrel without the proper materials."

"Fuck your right it would be diffucult to make the proper tempered steel for my gun's barrels."

The scout looked on in confusion because the ponies trained in archery didn't have an infinite amout of arrow to fire so h decided to ask, "Are you positive that you have an unlimited supply of 'ammo' as you call it?"

"Yeah because my handgun's special magazine only holds 12 rounds and has 1 in the chamber but some how I fired off 16 rounds."

"Same goes for my tank's ammo and it's fuel because when we got here we only had enough to return from our mission so we should hav run out of fuel about ten minutes before you got to our position because we were driving around when our tank got attack by those wolves."

"GODDAMNIT! FOR THE LAST FUCKING TIME I TOLD YOU THEM ANIMALS AIN'T FUCKING WOLVES THEY'RE FUCKING WEREWOLVES!"

"JIM SHUT THE FUCK UP AND WATCH YOUR GUN'S SCOPE! FOR THE LAST FUCKING TIME WE ARE IN A FUCKING WORLD WITH TALKING PONIES!"

"What is a 'werewolf'?"

"They're a mythical creature that is created when a person gets infected with some mysterious disease that makes them transform at night into a beast that isn't all human and isn't all wolf," I replied.

"Okaaay, but these are just normal wolves."

"Don't worry about that most of us already understand that this isn't like Earth."

"What is 'Earth'?"

"That's where Adam and I come from."

"Oh! Okay."

'WOW! The scout took this better than I thought he would,' I thought.

After a fairly unueventful walk back to Ponyville we made it to Twilight's library/house with everything in very good condition and a royal guardsman understanding where we came from a little bit more. When the tank stopped outside of the library cyan blur came out of the library to halt any threat, and let's just say a high speed impact on your head with several tonnes of tank is fucking hilarious. When James saw what happened he was laughing so hard he fell of the tank which caused even more laughter from him and everyone else on the scene except the groaning Rainbow Dash still recovering from the heavy impact.

"So this is the weapon you were talking about," said Celestia after seeing the tank.

"Yeah this is the tank and man is it cool when this bad boy fires," I respond.

"Yeah but it is nowhere near as cool as me. THE FASTEST FLIER IN ALL OF EQUESTRIA!" exclaimed a now recovered Rainbow Dash.

I suddenly got very afraid because I knew James was a very competitive person and the one thing you didn't want to do is challenge his tank to anything because he can make were you are at a big disadvantage. Before I could get a word out James said, "If YOU are so fast lets see IF you can go faster than one of this tanks projectiles!"

"I can out run any arrow any day of the week!"

"This doesn't shoot arrows but okay lets see how fast you REALLY are."

Rainbow Dash and the tanks gun lined up with the hill that I spotted the two wolven commandrs of the Diamnd Dog attack. I got between the two and got ready to start the count down. But before I started to count I asked, "Rainbow are you sure you want to do this because you don't really understand how fast the tank's shell fies?"

"Nothing can outrun me!"

"Fine. OKAY ARE YOU READY FOR THE RACE BETWEEN RAINBOW DASH AND THE TANKS MAIN CANNON!"

Several of Ponyvilles residents heard the challenge so they came to watch, and I smirked because they were all in for a suprise when the tanks cannon. They all responed with cheers for Rainbow to win.

"OKAY! 3...2....1.... GO!"

Rainbow took off at full speed and was half way to the tree when the cannon roared and merely half a second later the explosion of a HEAT shell could be heard and all the ponies present including Rainbow were scared shitless and were also in awe that Rainbow lost. James came out of the top hatch and yelled "FUCK YEAH! SUCK IT!"

I started laughing once again but I knew that this was all just the calm before the storm because James and I were going to sneak off later and kill the wolven leaders.
