Equestrian Spartan

The train and everyone on it are ready to leave but the Pelicans can’t go on the trip with the train. Unit 1 is talking with the leaders (but mostly Applejack) about the situation with a quick meeting.

Unit 1 says to Applejack, “Get it through your skull. The Pelicans don’t have enough fuel to make the route we’re taking. The pilots said so.”  Applejack says, “Those pilots don’t know anything.” Unit 1 looks at a few of the pilots and then says to Applejack, “They are new to this but they got your ass here in one piece, didn’t they?” Applejack stands there silently try to think what to say.

Unit 1 turns to the rest of the ponies, “Alright people, I have a simple plan. Put the children and the elderly in the Pelicans with a few… just the children and elderly. We need as many armed forces we can get.” The group raises up their hooves and Unit 1 says while holding up a gun, “People with these.” The group put their hooves down. The pilot with a star on his helmet says, “So your plan is to have me and the other pilots babysit a bunch of kids and old ponies.” Unit 1 says, “Do you want more guns pointed at your ships…” The pilot shakes his head. “Then get ready to leave for Canterlot now.” The pilot says, “Yes sir.” He gallops out of the room.

Unit 1 looks at his wounds and then back at the group and says, “What are you waiting for. Get the old and the young on those Pelicans, now! And someone get me a magnet and a medkit.” Everyone but Applejack leaves the room.

Applejack says to Unit 1, “Who ya think ya are bossin’ us around like this? I don’t like ya plan because Apples always stick together no matter what.” A lot of yeahs are heard outside the door. Unit 1 says to her, “I am the man saving your family’s asses. Unless you can snap your fingers and somehow get us out of enemy territory without firing a shot, separating into 2 groups is… wait a minute you don’t have any. So shut up and get some bandages before I bleed…”

A bunch of fillies go rushing in saying, “Cutie Mark Doctors, go!” 4 fillies rush into the room with first aid kits, bandages, and band aids. Unit 1 says as he pulls out a shard of metal from his guts, “Where’s the magnet? The bullets inside of me are kiiiiilllling me.” Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo faint, Apple Bloom screams at the top of her lungs, and Babs Seed looks like she is going to throw up. Unit 1 says he as pulls a few more shards of metal, “I guess it’s your first day being meeeeedics. You’ll see stuff like this a looooott so can you put bandages on me aaaaas pulling out these pieeeces of shrapnel.”

As Unit 1’s getting healed (slowly), Applejack sneaks out of the room and she says under her breath, “I don’t know what fingers are but I know somepony’s claws that make things appear when he snaps ‘em.” Applejack walks to a Pelican to call up an old “friend”, or is it “associate”. I guess that’s more of personal taste.

Back with Unit 1, a white unicorn (with a red cross on her flank) barely arrives and quickly starts patching him up. Unit 1 says, “One of you two girls, wake up your comrades they need to take mental notes of how to…” The white unicorn looks at the fillies says, “Cutie Mark Crusaders? Ugh, can you fillies leave, this is serious business and I don’t want your ‘help’ with this.” Unit 1 says, “If they can’t help with healing how about if I ask them some questions instead.” The unicorn says, “That’s more of their choice.” The 4 fillies say, “Cutie Mark…!”

A soldier come in and says, “We are almost done, we got a few cars to go including in here.” He looks at the CMC. Unit 1 says, “They will stay here because they are going to be integrated.” The girls gasp, Unit 1 sighs and says, “Fine, I’ll use the word, ‘Questioned’ do you like that term better?” The ponies say, “Oh.” Unit 1 says, “Remind the pilots not to go in any fights and take the safest route back to the nearest base, city, town or whatever.” The soldier says, “Yes, sir.” Unit 1 says to the soldier before he leaves, “Oh one more thing, tell the train engineer to start moving when the pilots get up into the sky.” The soldier says, “Yes sir” He leaves the room.

Unit 1 says to the girls, “I didn’t get your names, what are they?” Apple Bloom says, “I’m Apple Bloom, the one ya saved.” Babs Seed says, “I’m Babs Seed… sorry about trying to stop you earlier.” Unit 1 says, “It’s fine, next.” Scootaloo awkwardly says, “I’m Scootaloo, umm...” Unit 1 looks at Sweetie Belle and asks her, “And what’s yours?” she says, “I’m Sweetie Belle.” Unit 1 says to the medic, “So what’s your name?” The unicorn says, “Redheart, are you going to ask me questions?” Unit 1 says, “Later, after you have healed the others.” Redheart says, “Ok.”

Unit 1 says to the CMC, “Let the questioning begin, first question to Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo, do you know anyone important or powerful?” Sweetie looks down and says, “We did…” Scootaloo says in anger, “Until that Monster killed them and took the Elements of Harmony with him.” Apple Bloom says, “Now when I think about it, I saw Applejack a couple of minuties ago and I thought she was a…a goner too.” Scootaloo says, “We saw her and the others get killed … didn’t we?” Sweetie says in excitement, “Does that mean Rarity is alive?” Apple Bloom says, “Maybe…”

Unit 1 says, “Hey, I’m suppose to be asking the questions here. So what are these Elements of Harmony, anyway?” Scootaloo says, “They are powerful.” Sweetie Belle says, “They are pretty jewels.” Apple Bloom says, “They are a symbol of friendship or at least that’s what my sister said they were.” Unit 1 looks at Babs Seed and asks, “You have anything to say?” Babs Seed says, “The only thing I know is that they have the power to save Equestria.”

The Pelicans fly off and the train starts moving. A few seconds after the Pelicans leave, artillery starts hitting the train. Unit 1 says to the fillies, “Hide under something, now!” All of the fillies expect Scootaloo hide under a bench. Unit 1 says to Scootaloo as he pulls out his magnum, “Get under something, now.” Scootaloo says, “I’m not afraid of…” An artillery shell hits the roof of the car and blasts some of it off. Scootaloo says as she joins her friends, “It’s not just a scary sound got it.”

Unit 1 moves to a pile of guns and says on the radio, “Engineers move this train faster.” An engineer says, “I rushing through this manual as we speak.” Unit 1 picks up a missile launcher and whispers to himself, “Just in case.”

Unit 1 moves through the cars looking for a ladder while avoiding artillery shells and the holes that they made. When Unit 1 finds a way up, he climbs up and peeks through the door. The artillery fire quickly dies and is replaced with the roar of engines. Assault Hovercrafts come into sight and they get their missiles and bombs ready. Unit 1 quickly equips the missile launcher, aims at what looks like a bomber and Unit 1 says under his breath, “Goodbye you son of…” The Hovercrafts suddenly turn into butterflies and the pilots quickly deploy their parachutes. Unit 1 finishes sentence in awkward tone, “butterflies?” Unit 1 is too stunned of what happened to fire at the pilots.

Unit 1 says on the radio, “Troops, Can one of you explain how aircraft randomly turn into butterflies?” A voice says, “If you want to know I’ll give you a guess before I show you the trick.” Unit 1 says, “I got nothing. Wait a minute, who is this?”  A snake like figure comes out of his ear piece. The figure turns out to be Discord and he says to the soldier, “It was me, Discord and my magical claws.” Unit 1 looks at Discord and says, “Did you come out of my…?” Unit 1 feels for his ear piece but it not there. He looks around and sees his earpiece on the ground lying there in piece. Unit 1 says, “How I am going to talk with the others, now?” Discord says, “What are you talking about, I can understand you clearly.” Unit 1 says, “Look like you have to be my interrupter until we can get into… wait a minute. You made metal into butterflies, right?” Discord says, “It was my special touch of stopping them.” Unit 1 says, “It’s very poetic. Can you teleport this train and everyone in it in safe or at least natural territory?” Discord says, “You mean like this.”

Discord snaps his claws and the train gets teleported onto a track in the middle of snowy land. Unit 1 looks around and says, “Well at least we have the cover of the blizziard when it comes. When to we reach the, what the…?” Unit 1 turns around to see the track leading into a land that suddenly is green and sunny. Unit 1 says, “Something isn’t right here.” Unit 1 points his gun at the front of the train and he screams into the radio, “Stop the train!” Unit 1 feels his ear and remembers his earpiece is destroyed and says, “Great, how am I suppose to warn them about the possible trap?” Discord rolls his eyes and teleports them closer to the train station.

When they get to the train station, the engineers hit the emergency brake. Discord says to Unit 1, “I take it you don’t like relaxing train rides.” Unit 1 says as he leaves, “We are in a war and death can be anywhere even in places that look safe. If you excuse me I have to find a new ear piece and get escorted by the MP to my cell.” Discord says while riding on Unit 1’s shoulder, “Sounds like you have a plan of what to do. Iihhh… I hate being organized; there is no fun or surprises about it when you know what’s going to happen.” Unit 1 says to Discord as he opens the door to the station, “You’ll be surprised of how easily plans can change at anytime.”

A voice in the distance says, “Hey Unit 1, I’m back!” Unit 1 immediacy says under his breath, “Great, out all of the people, he’s first.” Discord asks as Unit 1 tries to ignores the voice’s owner, “Who is that?” Crazy D says to Discord, “I’m Crazy D, Mr. Discord…” He wraps around Unit 1. “And this is my friend Unit 1.” Unit 1 says, “You’re that type of comrade I’ll be behind in a fight.” Crazy D says, “Aww that was…” Unit 1 continues, “To take the bullets for me.” Crazy D says, “Well so much for waiting for you to soften up. Anyways I’m here to escort you to the game to help with us decide which you is the real you.” Unit 1 says, “Let’s get this trial over with.” Crazy D says, “You’ll enjoy this game; I should know, I designed…” Unit 1 has a worried look on his face as Crazy D continues, “that reminds me. I need to your pocket Discord to put in the final touches.” Discord says, “Sure, I’ll help. Games are more fun when I have a claw in.” As Crazy D and Discord laugh, Unit 1 quick reloads his guns and tightens his bandages to prepare for Crazy D’s game.
