SEAL Team Four: Missing In Action [Cancelled]

“The condition is that you are to be Ponyville’s law enforcement, and Royal Guard Special Forces."

"Wait, what?" asked John with confusion.

Celestia repeated her sentence. "You are—"

"No, I heard what you said," John interrupted. "It's just that, why?"

"John, what I am about to tell you may be hard for you. There is no chance of you being able to be sent home,"

John's life shattered before him.

"Wait, no no no!" Why me? Why? Why can't I ever see my family again? Sophie and Zach—I'll never see them again..." he fell to his knees, looking at the ground solemnly.

"Why me?"

"John, don't worry too much. We will try to make your life in Equestria as good as possible," she walked up to John, and put a wing around her comfortingly.

“Everything—it’s gone,” he said with a whisper.

“Shh, it’s ok. Not everything is gone. You still have your friends.”

John looked up to see his friend’s faces of sympathy. The look in their eyes is all he needed to get back up.

“You’re right,” he started. “Even though I’ve lost everything, the things I still have to live for are right in front of me. C’mon men, let’s get some gear.”

As John was roaming the piles of devices, he strolled into the section of small electronics to see what he could find. As he was gazing into the pile, something caught his eye.

“What’s that, wait—is that what I think it is?”

He jogged over to a teal GameBoy Color with the name ‘John’ written on the back with Sharpie.

“Holy shit! I was wondering where that went. It even still has Pokémon Crystal in it! This is so cool!” he let out a fangirlish-like squee. Once he realized what he was doing, he immediately stopped, pocketed the GameBoy, and moved on.

The men picked quite a lot out of Vault 2. For weapons, they picked 16 M4s, 8 P90s, 24 M9s, 8 M1911s, 4 G24s, 4 AN-94s, 2 M249s, 2 M60s, 2 M107s, and 4 Mk12s. For vehicles, they picked 1 UH-60M, 1 AH-6J, 1 LAV-25, 1 M1A2 TUSK, 2 HMMWV M2s, 1 LAV-AD, and 1 Stryker MGS. Every item they picked needed ammo, so they picked out a year’s worth for each and every thing. Even if they ran out, they could always come back for more.

“So that settles everything Princess. Also, do you think you could build us a base of operations? We need a place to put this all.”

“Yes, of course I will. Do you think you could draw a design, and send it to me within a few days? I will have Equestria’s finest contractors aid you once you send me a design.”

“Of course I will. I’ll have it to you within the week. Also, thank you for all this,” said John.

“No problem, just all I ask of you is to keep Ponyville, and Equestria safe. Also, before I forget, take this,” Celestia handed them an envelope. John took the envelope, and stuffed it in his pack, careful not to fold it.

“See ya’ later Princess,” John and his friends waved, and she waved back.

“So I guess we head to the train station?” asked Cooper.

“Yep. C’mon, let’s sprint there. We haven’t gotten any PT since we got here.”

The train chugged away from Canterlot, steam rising in the air.

“So tell me what you picked out from that massive vault?” Twilight asked with curiosity.

“Well, we picked out a lot of rifles, like my M4 and Griffin’s SCAR. Also, we got a couple of helicopters, some light armor, heavy armor, and an anti-air system. Here, I’ll show you.” John pulled out his iPhone 5S in a Lifeproof case, and pressed the sleep/wake button to turn it on.

“Whoa, what’s that?” asked Twilight, gently lifting the smartphone out of John’s grasp.

“That, is called a smartphone. An iPhone 5S to be exact. It is a com—“

Suddenly, the windows of the train burst inwards, sending shards of glass everywhere. Four ponies wielding crossbows and wearing balaclavas boarded the train.

“Give us all your valuables, and nopony gets hurt!” the first pony shouted. Ponies screamed, and started throwing everything at them, from necklaces, bracelets, even an iron, resulting in one of the robbers getting knocked out.

“Fuck off,” John stood up, and aimed his M4 at the intruders.

“Oh yeah, what makes you think you can do that?” the second pony asked, aiming his crossbow at John.

“You don’t want to mess with me. I’ve torn men apart, limb by limb. I’ve heard the screams of the bastards I’ve tortured. I am a war machine, designed for the sole purpose of killing. I’m gonna tell you one more time to fuck off, or be turned into a fine pink mist.” John thumbed the safety to semi-auto, and took aim.

He fired.

The bullet pinged off of the ground, causing the thieves to jump back.

“Try me bitches.”

The ponies immediately shot their crossbows at John. The bolt hit home, right in the center of John’s chest.

But his Kevlar/ceramic hybrid body armor stopped the steel bolt, causing the tip to bend, and it to fall to the ground.

John just laughed.

The other thief shot their crossbow at John, but before it could hit him, a bullet went straight between his eyes, out the back of his head, and into the pony standing behind him. The first pony instantly dropped dead, blood and brains spilling out the back of his skull. The second pony fell to the ground, clutching his chest.

“This ends now, you either leave, or die. You can’t defeat me,” John growled. He took out his sidearm, and walked right up to the pony, and put it in right between his eyes at point blank range. The pony tried to lift up his crossbow, and aim it at John, but before he could do so, John put a bullet in his brains.

“I think that covers it,” he said to himself. He turned around, to see Twilight staring at him, eyes filled with tears, and his squad just shaking their heads.

“Fuck.”

The train pulled into Ponyville Station, upon where four humans and one pony exited.

Twilight barreled through the crowd, eager to run away from SEAL Team Four.

“Dude, you fucked up big time.”

“I know, I fucked up big time. I need to go apologize,” John started walking towards the library, intent on giving Twilight an apology, whether she liked it or not.
