My Little SCPby SolidFerretChaptersCharacters Bio's."Where am I"So grab your guns and pick a side...Planning for the first strike.How the greatest plans go astray.Night Op.Characters Bio's.Ricca: Simply starting as a guard, Ricca had a bad case of S.S.D.D. when it came to the SCP facility. Fate called upon him and a team of others to protect the lives of six ponies that weren't from their world. While growing close to Fluttershy, his group was killed except for him and a D-Class. Ricca was last seen running out of the facility with him. Both with bullet wounds. Greg: Never speaking unless spoken to, Greg had been silent since arriving at the facility. Just when his time was up, a containment breach occurred. He and his cell mate ran and were found by a group willing to help them. He stuck with them up till the end, when he was carried out by Ricca while bleeding badly. Montes: Being a part of the only MTF in the area at the time of the breach, Montes and another were the only survivors when everyone got a look at 096's face. Both barely made it with their lives. They found a group and were forced to watch over six ponies. He defended them with his life, even if it ended at the hands of the captain of the MTF. Jake: A rather angry D-Class. Jake was the most hated of the D-class. Hated to which guards tried to get him to die at the hands of an SCP. Others tried to sign to be the one to shoot him at the end of the month. At the time of the breach and despite being surrounded by those willing to help, Jake turned on the group. To bad he didn't have eyes at the back of his head. Lopez: Lopez was the average guard. He did his job. So why he made it bothered him secretly. He pushed those thoughts aside to assist in the escape of the mane six. He sacrificed himself to make sure the others made it. He was found by Ricca and Fluttershy and bled to death as MTF's swarmed the room. Ramirez: Always being ordered around by his dick of a leader, Ramirez and most of the team wasn't sad for him to get the worst of SCP-096's treatment. Ramirez and Montes had escaped and found Ricca's group. He assisted the group while avoiding 096, who hunted the crew relentlessly throughout. Clearly SCP-079 enjoyed the chase and locked out Ramirez as he ran for the door. Allan: Ricca's best friend, the two were often paired in several situations. He was mostly quiet and simply wanted to escape. But while covering the escape, he was dragged into the ground by SCP-106. Evers: Being at the top of his skills and the bottom of actually speaking to others, Evers believes in just shutting up and getting the job done. When he arrived at the Facility, the warzone enough was nerve racking on his team. He was last seen assisting the captain on to an Osprey when a light filled the sky. Frost: Being very paranoid of a containment breach, Frost was put on Pony Express to get away from there. He was loyal to his team and would stick by them no matter what. That loyalty was cut short when D-class fired upon him and another. Ryan: Pony Express had only one battle when the team clashed with Chaos Insurgency. The battle was easily won thanks to Ryan's marksman skills. To bad that couldn't save him and Frost during the breach. Mcknight: Pony Express would have been okay with a simple leader, but a military leader could easily have shaped the team into an elite spec-ops team if the facility was a military unit. His leadership made the team known for their excellence on the field. What a shame that they'll have to find a new leader after an osprey landed and blew him up. Patton: Known for being a jerk to the team, they weren't sad to see him be the first to go. Matt: The Demolition expert of the team. He and Finn were a good two man team. Sadly, him and ladders weren't going well together when he was shot off one. Roberts: After Mcknight fell, Roberts took over for the team. Making sure they kept their lives and their mines, he tries to keep a positive view on things. He was last seen boarding a chopper and disappearing. Ben: Most wonder how Ben was even illegible to hold a gun. While he does try his best, most of the time he ends of failing. He was moved to Pony Express after a traumatic experience with a SCP-106 breaching. He was last seen trying to keep calm as the chopper he was in vanished in light. Finn: Matt's best friend, the two had been the closest of friends on Pony Express. The friendship was cut sort when Matt fell of the ladder and Finn was never seen again along with whatever was in the facility. Miller: Usually there to support with whatever objective there was, he has been nicknamed "Helper". Reid: The only pilot that would have preferred fighting in World War 2 then flying these men around, she tried to escape on her own with an Osprey but was assumed to have failed when she was never seen again. Author's Note Am I missing someone? "Where am I""MTF Alpha-4 Respond." "This is "Pony Express," go ahead." "All staff working at SCP-130 are reporting letters coming in that they claim "aren't addressed to any one here'." The leader, Mcknight, scratched his chin and looked at his team. Some raised eyebrows and some traded confused looks. Only one just sat and looked out the window of the helicopter. "What do you mean 'not from here'?" "The names used on the letters are said to have names like "Twilight Sparkle" and are addressed to a princess." "Are those code names?" One spoke up, getting laughs from the men. "Quit it Roberts," Mckinght held his mic to his mouth. "Alright command, we're on route to investigate." "Come on man. Those names are bogus as fuck." A young man named Ben said. "I don't know. You know how weird these SCP's can get." Another one, named Miller responded. "He's got a point ya' know." "You know what Frost, at least I didn't break down on my first day." "Fuck you man. You know I wasn't used to all the freaky shit we have at the facility." "Yeah Patton, fuck off for once." Ryan said. While the men squabbled back and fourth, the back of the chopper was occupied by three quiet men. Two fiddled with their gear while one stared out the window. "Hey Evers?" One spoke up. The man snapped out of his thoughts and looked at the two. "Yeah?" "Hey, I know windows on vehicles make you think about life and all that crap, but what's your deal on those names brought up? Pretty weird huh." "I don't know Finn, well find out when we get there." At that point, another leaned in and said, "Told ya' he ain't much for words." "I know Matt but I still wonder about him." "Maybe he's just a thinker." "Well what's he thinking about?" [2 day later] Fluttershy woke up in the morning. But just like the last morning. It was with her screaming and being covered in sweat while she tries to calm herself down. She buried her face in her hooves and began to sob. "Oh... why can't they stop?" It may have only been two nights of tossing around and screaming in her sleep, yet she wanted them to stop so she could stop reliving the nightmare she was forced to face. She got out of bed, blinking until he vision cleared. Yet every blink she feared that a statue with its arm stretched out, trying to grab her, would appear as if her blinks created it. She walked down the halls and feared that the walls or floor would corrode and an old man with burnt black skin would reach out and grab her. She reached the end and turned around in fear of a pale monster chasing her down the hallway. "I just need to..." Her mind drifted elsewhere. It wasn't the monsters that gave her nightmares. It was the fear of losing her friends to them. She couldn't handle the thought since she couldn't handle herself when she actually did lose a friend to them. One she just made but yet they were so close. "If I had..." She knew she couldn't have. She would have been gone like him if she had tried to save him. But she had to keep telling herself that he died to make sure he and her friends were safe. But she can't hide the fact that she wouldn't see him again. But the memory was still fresh in her mind. "Ricca hurry!" Fluttershy yelled. "Fluttershy I promised that I'd get you home." He called back. His bullet wounds were bleeding badly. "You can come with us." "Fluttershy. This is goodbye." He said. Fluttershy burst into tears as she knew that he was to wounded to make it. "I'll... I'll miss you." She said in tears. It was those words. Not goodbye. No, she had said goodbye before to a few friends that she hasn't seen in a while. It was the words that he last heard from her. "I'll miss you." A tear formed in her left eye. Those words struck something in her for many reasons. She did miss him dearly. But what was it that made her think more about those words? Was it the pain of not seeing him again? Could it have been that after all of the effort he and the others put in to save her friends? No, she hated those words cause it was the truth. The little voice in the back of her head kept telling her as he tumbled down the ramp that lead to the exit, 'he will make it' and that she lied to herself. But she still had her duty. As what her cutie mark had told her, she had to take care of all of her animals. When she came back, she was greeted by their loving and caring greetings as if she had been gone forever. At least they were there for her to make her feel better. Even her rabbit Angel acted better after she returned. What Fluttershy didn't see was a rustle in the bushes at the edge of the Everfree forest. "2 minutes!" "Alright, I want this one to go simple and by the books. It doesn't matter what the names are because we all know that SCP's couldn't get any stranger than using names like "Twilight Sparkle." Am I clear?" Mcknight addressed. "Yes sir!" "10 seconds to landing." Evers slowly counted down to ten and was met with a bump as the helicopter touched down. "Move!" The men sprinted out and were greeted by agents and several staff. "The letters have been arranged by D-Class but we were still told to contact you." A staff member said. "Understood. Now move in!" He ordered as his team of ten ran in to the post office. "Where are they?" Roberts asked as a D-Class pointed to a stack of letters. Evers ran over and immediately looked over them. "Dear Princess Celestia. Today I learned something amazing! Everypony everywhere has a special magical connection with her friends, maybe even before she's met them. If you're feeling lonely and you're still searching for your true friends, just look up in the sky. Who knows, maybe you and your future best friends are all looking at the same rainbow." "What the hell?" Patton said before bursting into laughter. "It is strange but the real mystery is, where did this come from?" "Candy land I presume. Oi, look at this one. Dear Princess Celestia, It's a tad easier to be proud when you come in first than it is when you finish further back. But there's no reason to hide when you don't do as well as you'd hoped. You can't run away from your problems. Better to run to your friends and family." "Who the fuck wrote these?" Ben thought out loud. Ryan and Matt sorted through the letters together. "Dear Princess. Dear Princess. Dear Princess. They're all the same." "This is weird man." Finn said as he walked over. "Well lets bag em and take them to the foundation." Mcknight said. Staff began to dump the letters into a bag and that was carried by Frost. Just as soon as they were out the door, radios buzzed on the team and agents in SCP-130. "ALL UNITS. WE HAVE A CONTAINMENT BREACH WITH ALL SCP'S. ANY UNTIS MUST RETURN TO ASSIST IN RE-CONTAIMENT. I REPEAT. ALL UNITS MUST- Oh shit. No. No no no no no no-" "We got a heavy containment breach!" Mcknight yelled as he ran through the post office. A nearby guard nodded at Miller as they raised their rifles and fired, killing the D-Class personnel in the building. "Everyone on board. We need to get back there ASAP." The chopper was soon crowded as everyone piled in. Roberts ran up and got on the radio in the cockpit. "This Alpha-4. On route to facility." "Fuck. Hurry!" A gasp awoke a man lying on the ground in the middle of a dark forest. He rose and looked around. "Where am I?" His brain began to work. It all came back to him. He turned his head to the side to see... "Shit man. It's been so long since we got that call I mean it's fucking night. That facility could be gone." "Shut it Frost! We need to make sure nothing gets out. Even if we have to go to E-Gate." Mckinght said as he looked out the window to see the burning facility. "Alright, What the fuck is at E-Gate? I've heard so many goddamn things about it." Ben said. "It's classified." The chopper quickly landed. Everyone inside ran out and were all shocked at the sight before them. Fires burned while choppers either were trying to get out or were being taken down by SCP-682. One chopper crash was in front of them. "Shit that's the captain!" Patton exclaimed as he ran over. There laid the captain of the MTF's, barely conscious as he looked at the men before him. The agents had escorted the staff away. "Captain, we need to leave." Mcknight said as he grabbed his hand and helped him up. "We will. Get your men to an osprey quickly. A few rouges got to E-Gate and opened it." Mcknight nearly dropped him at the sound of his words. "Shit." Ben was about to speak up if it weren't for the roar of SCP-682 to send the men running to the hangar. "Hurry we need to-" Patton was cut short when a bullet pierced his head. He dropped dead as blood spilled from the wound. It was a sight any prison guard never wanted to see. D-class had gotten into an armory and had supplied themselves with weapons for an escape. They held all kinds from assault rifles to snipers and shotguns. "PATTON! NO!" Ben yelled. "Come on Ben, we have to get out of here." Matt yelled as he pulled Ben up. A few men fired back at the rebels. The rebels fell back. "There are probably more. Let's move." Mcknight hoisted the captain while the team covered him. They quickly moved while trying to get as least of amount of attention as possible. Luckily their chopper landed near the hangar. The team took cover by a building straight across from it. "There's the hangar. We should make it." Finn said. Frost peered around the corner and saw some rebels that didn't seem to notice them. "Anyone got a plan?" "I's simple." Mcknight said. "Evers and I are gonna cross to the hangar while the rest cover us. When we get there, Evers will take the captain while I turn around and cover you guys. Got it?" "You're a damn genius." Roberts commented. "Got it!?" "Yes sir." "Alright, on the count of three. Ready Evers?" "Ready." "One." "Two." "THREE!" As quietly as possible, Evers and Mcknight carried the captain across the open and to the entrance of the hangar. "Alright, take him and go. I'll meet up." "Sir, what does E-Gate have?" Mcknight looked at him and said, "Pray we're gone before you find out." Evers took the captain and helped him inside. Mcknight held up three fingers. Slowly, he lowered one down, then another, when the final finger dropped, the rest of the team went sprinting. Frost was so caught up on escaping that he accidentally tripped and hit the ground, getting the rebels attention. They turned around and opened fire, spraying both Frost and Ryan with bullets. "Aw fuck." Mcknight cursed as he opened fire and killed the shooters. Not fast enough to save Ryan and Frost. "Shit, HURRY!" He yelled. Just before they made it, another roar pierced the air and an explosion rocked the air. A chopper in flames came spinning towards the entrance of the hangar. Evers wasn't shocked to see a fight for the hangar going on. The rebels obviously needed a ride He was just lucky that he was greeted by MTF's when he walked in. "We'll help him. We got one osprey ready to leave. We just need to get to it." Evers nodded and was about to open fire when an explosion shook the hangar. Evers turned to see a chopper had exploded and none other than Mcknight had been caught in the blast. He reached a hand out in sorrow but soon lowered it. "They're in shock from the explosion, move!" Evers and several other MTF's began to sprint for the osprey. Some were gunned down but other were lucky enough to make it. Evers began to cover the two that carried the captain to the osprey. "Get this thing started cause we are leaving!" One yelled as the engine started. The hangar doors opened for the osprey as it took of into the air. Joining a few others. "Spike have you seen my notes?" A small dragon looked up and said "Nope. Haven't seen em." Twilight Gave an annoyed look. "I just need to find them to remind me of better times then this." Spike knew all to well. The nightmares. Twilight screaming in terror in her sleep. She was afraid of the simple task of blinking. Whatever they went through, Spike hoped to never witness it. ... Greg clutching his still bleeding wound. His face was still pale and was only getting whiter. "Shit come on Greg. I'll get you some help." Ricca said as he put Greg's arm around his shoulder. Ricca examined the forest he was in. It seemed like a dark, creepy place. Ricca would have been scared if he hadn't have seen worse. "Wait, what if i'm where-" Fluttershy fed her animals on the normal daily routine. For some odd reason though, the animals seemed happier thatn usual. Fluttershy too felt happy for an odd reason. The rustle in the bushes caught her attention. As if she didn't have a care in the world, she trotted over happily and was soon tackled by an orange blob of slime. She began to laugh as it tickled her. "Oh it's good to see you again." She remembered the last time she met "the tickle monster." Fluttershy had felt so happy. He gave off a sweet scent of fruits and was very playful. The facility didn't seem like such a bad place. Facility. Facility! Fluttershy snapped out of her thoughts. She went from happy to concerned and look at SCP-999. "How did you get here?!" She nearly yelled. But her pupils shrank at the sound of a terrible screeching. "Maybe she is here. She can help Greg and-" A missile fired at the ground near him. Ricca was thrown into the air and watched as the forest burst into flames. "What the-" An osprey flew over head and quickly turned around. The guns opened fire. Ricca had scrambled over to get Greg and get out of the forest but was shot in the leg. Greg was shot again in the chest and fell down, gasping and bleeding. "Shit GREG!" Ricca tried to put pressure on wounds but knew it was hopeless. Greg had grabbed Riccas arm before gasping his last breath until he dropped to the ground, dead. Ricca began to run. Even with a bullet in his leg, he knew it was run or die. The osprey had done another run and fired more bullets at him. After an unknown time of running, Ricca was greeted by a near-blinding sunlight. But it was soon blocked by the osprey. More bullets fired and hit Ricca. Ricca fell to his knees. His hands held him up as he felt his old wounds and new ones bleed. Thinking that it was the end, he let himself fall to the ground. Matt and the rest had began to run. The helipad could have had a chopper. "Are you sure?" "It's either this or die!" Matt took point and ran ahead. He signaled the others to move up. A ladder lead to the top of a building. "It's up here. Lets-" Another roar sounded before gunfire rained down on the men. They ran for cover while firing back. "COVER EACH OTHER WHILE THEY CLIMB UP!" Matt yelled. Ben quickly climbed up. Then Finn. Soon Miller. "Roberts go. I got you covered." Roberts quickly climbed up the ladder. "Now you." Matt climbed up the ladder. But about 75% of the way, a bullet struck his back. He lost grip with one hand. Ben dropped down and tried to grab his hand when another bullet hit him. Matt fell back down and hit the ground, dead. "NO!" "We're leaving!" Roberts said as he got in the chopper. He powered it up. The rest of the team piled in. Ben was trying to keep it together while Finn mourned the lost of his friend. The helicopter lifted off. "So we made it" "Yep. So now we-" A blinding light filled the sky. Suddenly, the scenery of total warzone changed to something else. A castle built into a mountain side with a peaceful town below. "What the fuck?" Author's Note So... what do you think? So grab your guns and pick a side..."Cause THIS MEANS WAR!!!- The Betrayal by Attack Attack! Fluttershy screamed madly at the sight. SCP-96 ran at her full speed with his claws outstretched. A few bullet wounds in him that didn't effect him at all. But it was all to familiar to Fluttershy. "No. NO!" She screamed as she ran in her house and blocked the door. Didn't stop it's claws as it tore through the door and nearly missed Fluttershy. Another shriek and she ran she ran upstairs. Quickly getting to her room and pausing to think. She saw her window and took off, flying out her window. "I think i'm-" She could feel them, a pair a claws wrapped around wing and drag her back down to the ground. It was hard to tell who screamed louder in the fall. Fluttershy wasted no time in getting up on her hoofs and running to Ponyville, hoping that her friends could help her. But just as it was in sight, two dark figures appeared... Twilight had turned her Library upside down looking for her letters to escape her thoughts. "Are they behind the shelf's?" She thought. To her surprise, when she looked on a shelf, she found a book she didn't recognize. "Encyclopedia of common diseases? Where did this come from?" Twilight used her magic and carried the book to her. Flipping to a random page, she read about one. "Tuberculosis?" Twilight sat down and began to read. Twilight found herself amazed about reading about a disease. One reason was that she had never have heard about such sickness. "Coughing blood, fever. This sounds awful." Just as Twilight was about to flip the page, Spike came running through the door. "TWILIGHT! Come quick!" "What? What is it?!" Twilight asked while trying not to panic at Spike's tone. "Just hurry!" Spike ran and grabbed Twilight, knocking the book out of her hand. They two ran outside to see a sight of horror, Ospreys with crates on the bottom were landing and setting them down. Twilight gasped at the sight of ponies being thrown in cages, including her friends. She recognized the uniforms of the men that were containing her friends and he whole town. Foals were even being contained as she saw Sweetie Belle get tossed in a cage. Twilight realized that the facility that her friends escaped from had came here to Ponyville. "Twilight?" Twilight was in such shock that she didn't notice the men coming towards them. "Twilight?!" A little louder this time. The men were so close that Spike began to back away. "Leave the dragon. Get the pony." Twilight suddenly coughed, a little bit of blood stuck to her lip. "Twilight! Are you okay?" "Run Spike." She said weakly. "But I-" "Run!" Twilight yelled before collapsing. "I can't." Spike said with tears in his eyes. He crawled over and hugged her. She felt nearly sickly warm and her breathing was quiet. "Don't go, please." Spike said in his tears. The men had made it and grabbed Twilight. "No. Please." Spike said. "If I were you, I'd run. You won't to go where your friends are going." "No, she-" "RUN YOU LITTLE WIMPY FUCK!" One yelled as he dragged Twilights' limp body away. Spike ran blindly in tears away. But just as he was nearly out of earshot, a voice whispered to him. "I'm sorry." Spike looked to see a human in blue combat gear with a half ski mask on with his helmet nearly covering his face. But his eyes spoke the words he had just said. Spike just turned around and ran. "What happened?" "I don't know Ben, were landing at that town on the cliff side. We'll get answers there." The helicopter landed and the group was shocked to see others landing there. It looked as if any of the ones that made it were there. AS they landed, they noticed a pony with a white coat and a mane of several flowing colors speaking with the captain, who was being held up by Evers. "Guys, Evers made it." Ben said quietly but was shushed by Roberts. "What is this? You're telling em that my ponies are in danger?" "Yes. We need to get them in cells to make sure that what came with us doesn't harm them." "That's crazy. He can't just lock up a whole damn race of ponies." Miller commented. "It's messed up." Matt agreed. "I refuse to this!" Celestia said. "Have it your way, but when they get here, you'll be regretting this." The captain said. But soon nearly fell as his left side gave away. "I'm not agreeing to this shit sir. Count me out." "If he goes then I go." Soon, about little under half of the MTF's were on the side of ponies, including "Pony Express" minus Evers. "If you are staying then you are against us." They said nothing. "Fine, Evers, take me back to the osprey." Evers wanted to go join his team. But if he drops the captain, he would be in guilt. It was an inner conflict. He couldn't abandon the captain but he didn't want to be the bad guy. "Evers! Come on." Evers accepted his fate and helped the captain back. "We'll be back to get the rest of you." The captain threatened. Ricca awoke with a gasp. He looked around and tried to get up but was forced down. "Don't worry, you're safe now." A soft, majestic voice said to him. "Sleep easy. I have heard a lot about you. I know your intentions will help us." Ricca laid back down and fell asleep nearly instantly. Fluttershy was knocked down by a boot to her ribs from two men. She turned and saw SCP-096 reaching for her. A third man appeared and placed a bag over it's head and to her amazement, it simply sat down. "SCP-096 is at a stable state. We have a runner," The man on his radio glanced at Fluttershy. "Class Pegasus." "Roger, tie it then bring it to the town." "Understood." Fluttershy was pinned to the ground as ropes were tied around her wings to prevent her from flying away. She was picked up and taken to Ponyville. To her horror, the town was the now a prison as ospreys dropped off mobile prison blocks. SCP-096 was lead away as Fluttershy was lead to a cage and thrown in. "Fluttershy?!" A voice called. "Rainbow Dash?" Fluttershy looked around her dark cell and didn't see her. "From across." Fluttershy saw the small bars on her doors and looked through them. Sure enough, Rainbow was across in a cell as well. "The one time i'm on the ground, huh." Dash joked. "Do you think it's-" "I know it's them." They were interrupted by a shriek of terror coming from a cell at the end of the row. "RARITY! HELP!" Sweetie Belle wailed as she sat in a dark cell. "Somepony! Please!" "You won't be getting any help now." "Sweetie Belle shrank back at the sound of a mysterious voice. "Who's there?" "Don't worry, I won't hurt you." Sweetie Belle flinched as a hand petted her head. "Who are you?" A man came visible in the small amount of light in the cell. He had dark skin with near gray hair and dry skin. "My name is Gordon." "Hi Gordon, i'm Sweetie Belle." Gordon gave a warm smile. Sweetie Belle looked at him with amazement. She had never seen a human before. "So, what's happening?" "I guess they found new people to do their work with. Much like me." "What happened to you?" "I had been convicted of a crime. I was placed on death row when a man said that if I worked with him for a month then I would have my charges dropped. I agreed. But after two weeks, I was lucky to have been alive. Then came the day where, instead of being set free, I was to be killed. That's when a bright light took me away and to here." "Wow." That was all Sweetie Belle could say. "Now here I am. Funny where life takes you." "Do you think we'll be okay mister?" Gordon hated to admit it, but if they keep up these living conditions then all these ponies would be as dead as him at the end of the month. "Sure." "ATTENTION CITIZENS OF CANTERLOT!" Princess Celestia addressed to the the crowd. "I understand your concern. But I assure you that the men that chose to stay and fight will do their best to stop those who have Ponyville in lockdown." Spike tried his best to not hug Celestias leg in front of the crowd. After he had found Ricca bleeding, he still hasn't gotten Twilight out of his thoughts. While Celestia gave her speech, a team of three discussed. "We can't just go guns blazing and out air vehicles would give us away to soon." Roberts spoke. "True," A man named Charlie spoke, "perhaps we can get transported there by ponies." "But what if they can't carry us." "Levernz is right. But maybe we can-" "I think I hava an idea." A voice said. The three looked over and were shocked. "I thought all guards were gone or killed." "Not me." "Well then," Charlie approached him "you got a name?" "Ricca." Planning for the first strike."That's quiet the name. Wanna tell me what a guard was doing at the facility?" Roberts asked. "I was... rouge. And I had met the ponies, six of them I should say, that lived here." Suddenly Ricca shot up. "They live here. And we're here." Levernz looked at him. "Yeah, we got here when..." "SCP-001." "What!?" Ricca looked at them. "Get whatever men that are here. I know what brought us here." "Got it." Charlie went to tell the Princess to get the others. "Why?" "Why what?" Ricca asked. Roberts looked at him and asked, "Why get the others?" Ricca stared at him through his mask and said, "They need to know what happened. I'm practically the one who brought us here." "What in the hell do you mean?" Levernz asked. "I'll tell you." "You better." A female voice said. They both spun around to see Princess Celestia and a baby dragon clutching her leg as if he was hiding from them. Spike ran with tears in his eyes. All of them. Every single pony that he knew and made friends with had been taken and locked up in the prison made in Ponyville. The only thing he could cling to was the words of that one guy who seemed more like he was good then bad like the rest of them. "Spike!" Spike looked up to Princess Celestia riding in a carriage. It landed in front of him. Celestia saw the look on Spikes' face and heard all of the noise coming from the town. "I'm to late." She hung her head in defeat. Spike ran and hugged her leg. "It's awful. Twilight got really sick when they took her." He sobbed more as he remembered the memory. Princess Celestia was about to take off when something caught her eye. There laid a man with a white uniform on. Something about him seemed familiar to her. Thats when she remembered. He was described by Fluttershy as the man that saved her and her friends. Celestia saw his wounds and used her magic to heal them. "Why are you helping him?" Spike asked. "I know him. He's a good man Spike." "No he's not. There are people just like him at Ponyville who locked my friends up." "But there others who are different. They are at Canterlot." "You made friends with them!" "Not all. Just those with good intentions." She assured Spike as she placed the man in the carriage. "So what about him?" Spike asked with a sniff. "He will be okay." That was all Celestia said as she and Spike rode off to Canterlot. "Evers! We land in five." Evers gave a thumbs up as he looked at the town. It seemed so peaceful that it hurt. He was going to have to "contain" these ponies. He didn't want this. What he wanted was to be with his team. He only saw four of them. Did really half of his team get wiped out in the breach? It didn't seem real to him. Evers saw ponies running out of houses to see what the noise was. He couldn't imagine what was going through their minds. He landed and was instantly ordered to 'contain' any pony he sees. But he watched as mobile crates were out down by ospreys and ponies were thrown into them. Some fought. But a big red pony kicked a guy with his back hoofs. Not two seconds later, he was being dragged cause his hind hoofs were both shot. Evers rounded up with two others and was ordered to subdue a pony that was standing by a dragon. But as he and the others went over, he saw her getting pale. By the time he reached her, she had fallen over and was coughing blood. Evers took her and got her. He heard one of his comrades yelling at the dragon. When he got the unicorn to her cell, he ran back to see the little dragon running away in tears. "I'm sorry." He whispered. He was shocked to see the dragon turn around and look at him. As if he heard him. Evers stared back at him with a look of sorrow before the dragon turned around and ran. Another MTF ran up behind him. It was the same one that yelled at the dragon. "I found SCP-1025. I think that unicorn read out of it." "You didn't have to yell." Evers simply said as he walked away. Ricca looked at the crowd below. Several ponies looked at him. A mixture of fear and waiting for answers. The few MTF's compared to the ones that left were right behind him. "I know you're all wondering how we got here? Well I'll tell you. It started at the facility I worked for. We had a containment breach of all SCP's. An SCP is an anomalous artifact or living thing. Such examples include SCP-173 ,our original, who can only move when no one is looking at it. If you aren't then it will kill you. There are for more but we don't know where they are here. As far is Ponyville goes, that whole town is in lockdown. Everypony there is in crates. Odds are they will be used for testing on the SCP's they have contained." An uproar started in the crowd. All wondering about their loved ones in Ponyville. "But we are working on a plan to get them free. It's a slow process but we'll get there." Ricca concluded his speech. "Are you crazy? We are out numbered, out gunned, and out matched. We can't go against them." Charlie bickered. "But we can plan. If they are keeping watch of that place, then all they have to is defend. We can plan tactical strikes. If we're lucky, we can get them when they least expect it." "Ricca, we need a better plan then just luck. And we know that these ponies aren't going to fight." "Well what do you have?" "We need recon. We can easily go at night and learn some things." Ricca looked at Charlie. "You stick to your plan. I'll stick to mine." "Ricca, if you send men in right away, it won't end well." Charlie warned. "Well we'll see who's plan works." Ricca turned around and waved around two fingers together. "To any men willing to fight, come with me." About 50 of the 200 men volunteered, including MTF-Alpha 4. Charlie shook his head as they walked out to the Ospreys and helicopters. "Alright men! This is our first step to taking back Ponyville. Now lets get out there and show the MTF's that we're not with them. We're rouge!" "WAIT!" Celestia cast a spell on any humans in Canterlot. Soon, their fatigues were each given an arm band that had the roya flag that had Celestia and Luna on their sun and moon. "Good idea. We'll identify friendlies this way." Ben said as he showed Ricca the way to the armory in the Osprey. Ricca whistled as he noticed the guns. A wide selection of handguns. He picked up a Beretta and put it in his holster. He went over looking over guns before choosing an H&K MP5. "Nice choice. Never been much of a shooter." Ben commented. "A spotter?" "I guess." Ben said sheepishly. "Well then," Ricca gave Ben a pair of binoculars that had night vision and thermal vision. "Spot for us." Ben gave a nod. "Will do." "Good. Now lets arm up and ship out." Ricca looked over to the pilot of the osprey. "Are we ready?" A female voice responded, "Fueled up and ready on your go Ricca." "Got it miss..." "Reid." "Got it." How the greatest plans go astray.The sound of blades chopping at the air had filled several ears as air vehicles flew through the air. Pegasi looked in fear and interest. In one of them had Ricca loading his weapons along with nine other men. "Ricca, we have five minutes!" Reid called form the pilot seat. Ricca stood up slightly. The red light only gave the faces of the team he was leading into Ponyville. "Alright. Listen here. Now I know not all of you have fought in a firefight like this. Or have even fought at all. But if we stick to the plan, we can make it out and hopefully do a number on the MTF's. "But how? We can't rush blindly into a firefight." Miller pointed out. "Yeah." Dwayne ,one of Bens friends, said. "We can't rush blindly into a fight like this. "Thanks for that Dwayne. I was getting there. Each squad leader has their own plan, including me." "Who put you in charge? You're a fucking guard!" "Well Paul. I happen to be ex-military. So shut it." "Now here's how it goes. We move in and try to atleast free somepony. We can easily get in and get out. If we move fast, we won't lose a single man." "We're so fucked." A rouge said under his breath. "We're landing soon. HOLD UP! We're taking fire." The opresy began to shake from bullet fire as the doors opened. Clearly Riccas team was late as several ospreys and helicopters had landed and were unloading men that either ran for it or were shot on sight. Ricca looked across to see another rouge team leader sitting on the side like him. Noticing him looking at him he gave him a thumbs up as they descended to land. Ricca saw an RPG just barely miss his ride. "You still confident on that plan sir." "Yes Griffin. I am." The osprey landed and the men rushed out in hopes of not being blown up. Ricca took time to actually realized what he had done. He just dropped his men in thinking he can get away with this. Men were already waiting for their ride back. Some piled back into their rides and waited for the assault to be over. "Evers, get up." Evers looked up from his spot where he was sitting to have a M4A1 tossed at him. "The rouges are on their way. We gotta fight." Evers felt a ping of hope in his heart. If he could hopefully convince them to take him with them, he can finally fight along side his team again. "I'm up." He said as he loaded the rifle and ran out. The sound of gun fire began to fill his ears as helicopters and ospreys landed down. When men poured out, Evers almost raised his rifle when he remembered, he was on their side, whether they knew it or not. "Evers, we're on watch duty for prisoners." His ally called as he made his way over there. "Dom! You and Evers keep watch. I know they're here for them." "Captain, we can't hold them off on our own." A wheelchair rolled in, the captain sat in it as he turned his head towards Dom and Evers. "I have a plan." "What plan?" The captain gave an evil grin. He got on the radio. "Cut power to Containment cells. We'll show these rouges what I have in my power." Eyes. the only visible feature of Evers were enough to show his emotion of what his Captain was doing. They went wide in horror. "You can't do that!" Evers exclaimed. The captain turned around in his wheelchair. "When you have my power, then you'll be able to control the SCP's." Riccas' team moved under the cover of gunfire from what was the army that came to Ponyville. They were the team to rescue what ponies they could. "So is there a specific pony were looking for?" Roberts asked. "Not one, but I hope we can find this one pony I met." "Well point her out to us alright." "Got it." Ricca began to get lost in his thoughts. He had remembered how sad Fluttershy was when she thought he was dead. He had hoped to see her smiling face when she saw that he was alive. All of the memories of their time at the facility. Finding her when she got lost, meeting her, petting her after rescuing her SCP-106. He was so caught up that he felt like he could hear SCP-106 emerging from the ground. He COULD hear SCP-106 emerging. "WHAT THE FUCK!!" Ben screamed as he fired his rifle into the black hole that fomred into the grass near his ground. SCP-106 quickly reached for one of the men on Riccas time. "MARCO!" Dwayne screamed. Ricca suddenly remembered Allan. His best friend that was taken by SCP-106 and never seen again. The same fate Marco was about to face. "No!'' Ricca ran and tackled Marco out of the way just as 106 was about to grab him. * "Run!" Miller yelled as he fired a few bullets at 106. None phasing it. Miller gave up and ran. "Oh fuck!" One called before 106 emerged in front of him and grabbed him. "NO!" He screamed as he thrashed in hope of getting away. Ricca reached a hand out in despair before lowering it. He felt a tap on the shoulder that made him shoot a bullet off. "Relax. It's just me." Dwayne said as he turned around. "Well thats-" A spark emited right by them. They were being shot at. "Fuck. All units return fire." Ricca easily took down the men with good cover. But more kept up the pressure. "Hey Dwanye, on my signal we're gonna fall back. Got it?" "Yeah I-" *snap* Ricca could hear scratching concrete. Dwaynes neck twisted around and his body fell to reveal SCP-173 standing there. "Fuck." Ricca backed away with remaining eye contact. "Dwayne and Paul are down. Marco and Jeff, I need help here." "It's just me right now. I can't find Jeff. We got separated when the bullets were fired." Marco responded on radio. "Tried the radio?" "It's a jammer sir. We're short ranged." "Well tell the others to regroup. We already lost two men." "Roger." Fluttershy and other ponies put their heads down and covered their ears. She hated the sound of gunfire ever since the Facility. Meanwhile, Twilight sickly laid in her cell. A pile of blood forming on the ground like a "drool-pool." She had to have gotten so sick when they arrived. If you looked up "Bad timing" in the dictionary, you'd see the mare dying just as her town is turned into a prison. She hoped that help was on they way. Cause she knew she wouldn't make it without it. "Fuck Ricca. We can't find Jeff anywhere." Ben said slightly panicked. "Keep it together Ben. We're sticking to the plan. Jeff was bound to have followed. Lets move." The team did as Ricca ordered. Though some would have left by now. But a short investigation lead them to their answer. A bloody corpse with an Ithaca by it. "JEFF!" Marco yelled at the sight. "Come on. We need to move." "No Ricca. We've lost to much men for a ten man team. If we don't pull all of the others out, we're screwed for the next fight." Roberts told him. Ricca was about to protest before he looked around. All of his team looked like it was enough. The overall fight had been bad with rides being shot down. Ricca got on his radio. "All teams that are left. We're leaving." The team quickly ran back. The fight had began to got heavy as the osprey landed. "Hurry RIcca. We're burning daylight." Reid called. Ricca hurried his team on before he got on himself. Finn was busy covering them. "Come on Finn! We're leaving!" Finn turned and was shot twice. He fell to his knees. Despite his attempts, he couldn't get up. "No! Finn!" Ben called out. He tried to get off the osprey to help but was blocked by a team mate. Finn simply waved them off. He knew he wouldn't make it. Why bother costing more lives to save a lost one. Reid looked at Ricca, who gave a nod. She took off along with the others. Finn stood on his knees and watched the teams fly off to Canterlot. An MTF came from behind and knocked him out with the butt of his rifle. When Ricca got back. Charlie himself was personally waiting for him. He gave Ricca the look. Ricca just waved him off as he walked to the makeshift Command Center. When he got there, Princess Celestia and Luna were talking to Levernz. The look Ricca gave let them both know that the invasion was a failure. Finn woke up in what looked like a bakery. When he stood up, a voice of a small girl nearly startled him. "Mister, are you alright?" A small, gray unicorn asked. "Yeah, i'm fine." Despite grunting in pain form gunshot wounds. "Glad to see you're awake Finn." "Captain! Why are you doing this?" "Why not. Have you ever had the power to keep an entire race under your control? No. I thought so. We're the dominant here. We will be the ones to show them our power." Finn asked another question. "Where are we?" "Look in the corner." Finn looked and gasped. SCP-173 stood facing the wall. The filly screamed and covered her eyes. Finn, in a panic, blinked and SCP-173 moved closer. The filly saw it's arms and creepy face and cried into her hooves. Finn went over and hugged her in his way of protecting her. "You have a choice here. One of you can die. Finn, if you live, you can go back to Canterlot with your team. If the filly lives, she goes back to her prison life with the guarantee that she doesn't have to look at an SCP again. The choice is yours." Finn knew his answer. He leaned down and whispered into the fillys' ear. "You're gonna be okay. You just have to stay close to me." "But mister, you'll die." "Rather me then you." "But you don't know me." Finn gave a sigh. "But its my job to protect people. Even little ones like you. The filly then cried and hugged Finn. And there, crouched over the filly to protect her, Finn knew that the moment he was killed, eye contact would resume from the men outside. Knowing the filly would be safe, he muttered a prayer and closed his eyes. And they never opened. * A lot of Resident Evil 6 references. Night Op."Well Ricca. I won't say I told you so. I don't need to. You can go look for yourself." Charlie paced back and fourth in front of Ricca. The sight of men trying to get the thought of the loss of their friends and some trying not to loss it were just on the other side of the wall. "But I will say this, what the fuck were you thinking? Did you honestly think that we could just rush in and hope that we could do some damage. While sure we might have killed some of their men, its like throwing a handful of water on lava. We may do something but it's not like it mattered." Ricca wished he could rub his head through his helmet. "And was your plan better?" "Who cares about 'which plan was better.' Even Princess Celestia herself thought we should have taken that course of action. But instead you go and rush firing your shot gun in the air thinking you have a chance." Ricca stood up. "You know, you're acting like I'm a total failure. I wanted to see what was going on. I had no idea they had the power of a military base aimed right at us." Charlie took a deep breath. "Ricca, could it be that you were hoping to see the ponies you met and hoped to tell or give them a sign that you were alive." Ricca sat back down. He had never thought of it that way. If he was lucky to say that the one pony he grabbed out of their was Fluttershy, he made himself think that he'd achieve his goal. "I'll let you think about it. I need to borrow your team. We're heading out tonight." Charlie said as he walked out. "Wait! You're still following through." Ricca said as he ran walked by him. "Yep, we plan to have them never know we were there." He said. "And why my team exactly?" "Cause your team got in the farthest, I need some people who know their way around." "You honestly think that they remember that place up and down. They didn't have time to map it when uh I don't know, oh yeah, we were getting shot at and killed by SCP's!" Ricca replied sarcastically. "Well, I need what I can get. Even if its all scattered." "Fine. Just go easy. Some are a bit shaken." "Yeah, I know for a fact Ben is horrified of SCP-106." Ricca looked up. "Really?" "Oh yeah! First day, 106 escaped containment and nearly caught Ben. Poor bastard has been scarred since." "Man." Ricca shook his head a little at the thought of a bad first day. "So yeah, we're heading out tonight. About that team?" Charlie asked. "They're not mine. Take them." Ricca said as he walked off. The Captain pushed his wheelchair around. "That was far to damn easy." He taunted to himself as he rolled around what was Twilight's library. "Sir, I found using the SCP's wasn't a smart tactic. In the events a breach happened-" One MTF said. "A controlled breach." He said. "Nico, it was all under control." He said madly. The other MTF, named Micheal leaned over and whispered. "I think he's lost it." "Now get out of here, night is kicking in and I need a patrol." He said as he leaned back, groaning a little in pain from his legs. The two walked out. "I think we should have joined the resistance." Micheal said. "Hell yeah, my team wanted to go with those guys. I think they're even starting to regret it though." "Well looks like we're fucked. For now, lets just do our patrols, I take west side, you take East." Nico nodded. "Got it." He said as the two walked off. Evers felt the sun shining down on the town as he patrolled the cells. Each filled with somepony either crying out for help or trying to call to other cells. "Please let me out! My foal is a newborn!" A mare cried out, practically begging with her very life to get out. Evers had to ignore it, he would have loved to at least help the mare in some way. 'Screw this.' He thought as he turned around. "Ma'am, what does your foal look like?" He asked as he reached her cell. "He's..." She took a moment to wipe her tears away. "He's about a month old. Has a light green coat and yellow mane." The MTF nodded. "I'll go check on him." The mare began to cry tears of joy. "Thank you!" Was all she could get out of her hysteria. As Evers walked to the area where they kept the young ones, he felt a bit of guilt that he was only helping the one mare while the rest could only sit around. He turned and saw a dark face from within the cell staring at him. It gave him a look that said he did the right thing. Evers nodded at him and walked off. Gordan sat back down. Sweetie Belle laid next to him, holding her tail in comfort. "So not all of them are bad guys?" She asked. Gordan thought for a moment, until saying "I guess not." Sweetie Belle ran her hoof over the last rays of sunlight shining into the cell as the sun set. "This operation should be smooth and by the books. No shots should be fired at all and we make it like we were never there." Charlie said as he put silencers on the weapons. He grabbed night vision goggles and handed them to the four others in his group. Ben looked at him nervously. "Do you really think we can do that?" He asked. "Yes Ben, and I believe that you can help make that a possibility." Charlie said as he handed him a silenced mp5. Roberts silenced his m416 while Miller and grabbed a pistol since a silenced LMG wasn't going to do much. "And I know you're mad about the lost of you're teammate, but try not to let that get the best of you." He ordered. Marco happened to be tagging along as he grabbed an M4A1 with hybrid sights and silencer. "Lets hope all goes well." Luna finished raising the moon as the sun disappeared. Reid checked the fuel on the Osprey. "We're all fueled up." She said, "Lets get this show on the road." Charlie nodded. "Got it, we'll be back in a few hours." He said as he got in. The others followed in. Once all boarded, the engine roared to life as the doors slammed shut. Ricca watched them and was joined by another. "Carver, we need to plan for the next assault." "Right away." He nodded. "Attention everybody and pony. SCP-096 has been let loose in the Northern area. Any of those held in the area are to not look outside. Guards may not be able to see you if see it's face." 096 walked around hazily as two guards followed behind. Both looked down as it rounded the corner to avoid eye sight. The Captain spoke once more into the microphone. "I would like to thank all of you for your patience and cooperation in this situation. We understand that this is hard on all of you. We are as confused as you are, once we understand this world then this will be over." Twilight coughed a little more blood and struggled to keep her food down by drinking some water. Fluttershy shook in fear. Rainbow Dash slammed her hooves on the door. Rarity tried to comfort her sister from across the road. Applejack tried not to lose herself in wondering where Applebloom was. Pinkie Pie wept with a flat mane. "As for the rebels, they will perish soon. Their threat will never harm you, I promise." Evers nearly grabbed his gun and put a bullet in his head. Knowing that he would have been killed, he instead walked outside. "This is as close as I can get you without being spotted." Reid said on the teams radio. "We rendezvous here in one hour. Good luck." She said as they repelled down. Each individual landed on their feet and got up and looked around. "I can't even see my own hand." Miller commented at the darkness of the forest. "NVG's on team." Charlie ordered as he pulled his pair down. The team could see the green of the light and where they were now. "We're ten minutes out." Roberts informed. "Lets move quickly." Marco said as they moved silently. "We can't give a vibe that we're here. not even to ponies. So matter how much, do not release or talk to them." Charlie told them. "Got it?" "Yes sir." As they moved and saw the lights of the once-town-now-prison in sight. "That explains why there was no wildlife nearby." Miller pointed out. "Lets move in." Charlie said as they all tiptoed in. The sound of crying ponies along with guards talking amongst themselves gave atmosphere to the prison town as the team moved in. "Stay out of the light. Stick to the shadows." Luna had dyed the garbs black for a fitting camouflage for this operation, making it easier to hide in the shadows. She also made it very dark out. Ben lifted up his NVG's and rubbed his eyes. "That portable looks like a good place to start." Marco pointed out. "Roberts, you and Marco check the place out while the rest of us of us keep guard." "Got it." Patrolled passed by, they were in the part where the East and West wing merged. "Do not engage. Even if you can get away with it." Miller took his hand off his gun. The two patrol eventually split. As soon as they were out of eyesight, they rushed across the path. Roberts and Marco rushed up the walkway and found the door unlocked. "Clear." They went inside for a quick moment. As for the rest, they took guard around the portable building. "How long?" "Unless it gets bad, thirty minutes. Reid is waiting for us." Miller shushed the two. He heard something. "Get down." He said as he hid under the portable. "I thought patrols were just here?" Ben said. "I guess they-" Charlie reached over and clamped his hand on Ben's mouth. The legs of SCP-096 had stopped right in front of them and stood there for a while. "Why's this thing stopping?" A guard asked. Ben looked with a look of panic while Charlie tried his best to restrain. Miller had his hand on the trigger. "Move it." The guard got it to move. "Nothings here." They waited for what felt like an hour before eventually crawling out. "Marco, Roberts we're getting out of here." "Why?" "Hold that thought, Reid, we're leaving early. They let SCP-096 out and I don't feel like keeping out of it's sight." "Roger that." Charlie got off the radio. "Lets get the hell out of here."
Characters Bio's.Ricca: Simply starting as a guard, Ricca had a bad case of S.S.D.D. when it came to the SCP facility. Fate called upon him and a team of others to protect the lives of six ponies that weren't from their world. While growing close to Fluttershy, his group was killed except for him and a D-Class. Ricca was last seen running out of the facility with him. Both with bullet wounds. Greg: Never speaking unless spoken to, Greg had been silent since arriving at the facility. Just when his time was up, a containment breach occurred. He and his cell mate ran and were found by a group willing to help them. He stuck with them up till the end, when he was carried out by Ricca while bleeding badly. Montes: Being a part of the only MTF in the area at the time of the breach, Montes and another were the only survivors when everyone got a look at 096's face. Both barely made it with their lives. They found a group and were forced to watch over six ponies. He defended them with his life, even if it ended at the hands of the captain of the MTF. Jake: A rather angry D-Class. Jake was the most hated of the D-class. Hated to which guards tried to get him to die at the hands of an SCP. Others tried to sign to be the one to shoot him at the end of the month. At the time of the breach and despite being surrounded by those willing to help, Jake turned on the group. To bad he didn't have eyes at the back of his head. Lopez: Lopez was the average guard. He did his job. So why he made it bothered him secretly. He pushed those thoughts aside to assist in the escape of the mane six. He sacrificed himself to make sure the others made it. He was found by Ricca and Fluttershy and bled to death as MTF's swarmed the room. Ramirez: Always being ordered around by his dick of a leader, Ramirez and most of the team wasn't sad for him to get the worst of SCP-096's treatment. Ramirez and Montes had escaped and found Ricca's group. He assisted the group while avoiding 096, who hunted the crew relentlessly throughout. Clearly SCP-079 enjoyed the chase and locked out Ramirez as he ran for the door. Allan: Ricca's best friend, the two were often paired in several situations. He was mostly quiet and simply wanted to escape. But while covering the escape, he was dragged into the ground by SCP-106. Evers: Being at the top of his skills and the bottom of actually speaking to others, Evers believes in just shutting up and getting the job done. When he arrived at the Facility, the warzone enough was nerve racking on his team. He was last seen assisting the captain on to an Osprey when a light filled the sky. Frost: Being very paranoid of a containment breach, Frost was put on Pony Express to get away from there. He was loyal to his team and would stick by them no matter what. That loyalty was cut short when D-class fired upon him and another. Ryan: Pony Express had only one battle when the team clashed with Chaos Insurgency. The battle was easily won thanks to Ryan's marksman skills. To bad that couldn't save him and Frost during the breach. Mcknight: Pony Express would have been okay with a simple leader, but a military leader could easily have shaped the team into an elite spec-ops team if the facility was a military unit. His leadership made the team known for their excellence on the field. What a shame that they'll have to find a new leader after an osprey landed and blew him up. Patton: Known for being a jerk to the team, they weren't sad to see him be the first to go. Matt: The Demolition expert of the team. He and Finn were a good two man team. Sadly, him and ladders weren't going well together when he was shot off one. Roberts: After Mcknight fell, Roberts took over for the team. Making sure they kept their lives and their mines, he tries to keep a positive view on things. He was last seen boarding a chopper and disappearing. Ben: Most wonder how Ben was even illegible to hold a gun. While he does try his best, most of the time he ends of failing. He was moved to Pony Express after a traumatic experience with a SCP-106 breaching. He was last seen trying to keep calm as the chopper he was in vanished in light. Finn: Matt's best friend, the two had been the closest of friends on Pony Express. The friendship was cut sort when Matt fell of the ladder and Finn was never seen again along with whatever was in the facility. Miller: Usually there to support with whatever objective there was, he has been nicknamed "Helper". Reid: The only pilot that would have preferred fighting in World War 2 then flying these men around, she tried to escape on her own with an Osprey but was assumed to have failed when she was never seen again. Author's Note Am I missing someone?
"Where am I""MTF Alpha-4 Respond." "This is "Pony Express," go ahead." "All staff working at SCP-130 are reporting letters coming in that they claim "aren't addressed to any one here'." The leader, Mcknight, scratched his chin and looked at his team. Some raised eyebrows and some traded confused looks. Only one just sat and looked out the window of the helicopter. "What do you mean 'not from here'?" "The names used on the letters are said to have names like "Twilight Sparkle" and are addressed to a princess." "Are those code names?" One spoke up, getting laughs from the men. "Quit it Roberts," Mckinght held his mic to his mouth. "Alright command, we're on route to investigate." "Come on man. Those names are bogus as fuck." A young man named Ben said. "I don't know. You know how weird these SCP's can get." Another one, named Miller responded. "He's got a point ya' know." "You know what Frost, at least I didn't break down on my first day." "Fuck you man. You know I wasn't used to all the freaky shit we have at the facility." "Yeah Patton, fuck off for once." Ryan said. While the men squabbled back and fourth, the back of the chopper was occupied by three quiet men. Two fiddled with their gear while one stared out the window. "Hey Evers?" One spoke up. The man snapped out of his thoughts and looked at the two. "Yeah?" "Hey, I know windows on vehicles make you think about life and all that crap, but what's your deal on those names brought up? Pretty weird huh." "I don't know Finn, well find out when we get there." At that point, another leaned in and said, "Told ya' he ain't much for words." "I know Matt but I still wonder about him." "Maybe he's just a thinker." "Well what's he thinking about?" [2 day later] Fluttershy woke up in the morning. But just like the last morning. It was with her screaming and being covered in sweat while she tries to calm herself down. She buried her face in her hooves and began to sob. "Oh... why can't they stop?" It may have only been two nights of tossing around and screaming in her sleep, yet she wanted them to stop so she could stop reliving the nightmare she was forced to face. She got out of bed, blinking until he vision cleared. Yet every blink she feared that a statue with its arm stretched out, trying to grab her, would appear as if her blinks created it. She walked down the halls and feared that the walls or floor would corrode and an old man with burnt black skin would reach out and grab her. She reached the end and turned around in fear of a pale monster chasing her down the hallway. "I just need to..." Her mind drifted elsewhere. It wasn't the monsters that gave her nightmares. It was the fear of losing her friends to them. She couldn't handle the thought since she couldn't handle herself when she actually did lose a friend to them. One she just made but yet they were so close. "If I had..." She knew she couldn't have. She would have been gone like him if she had tried to save him. But she had to keep telling herself that he died to make sure he and her friends were safe. But she can't hide the fact that she wouldn't see him again. But the memory was still fresh in her mind. "Ricca hurry!" Fluttershy yelled. "Fluttershy I promised that I'd get you home." He called back. His bullet wounds were bleeding badly. "You can come with us." "Fluttershy. This is goodbye." He said. Fluttershy burst into tears as she knew that he was to wounded to make it. "I'll... I'll miss you." She said in tears. It was those words. Not goodbye. No, she had said goodbye before to a few friends that she hasn't seen in a while. It was the words that he last heard from her. "I'll miss you." A tear formed in her left eye. Those words struck something in her for many reasons. She did miss him dearly. But what was it that made her think more about those words? Was it the pain of not seeing him again? Could it have been that after all of the effort he and the others put in to save her friends? No, she hated those words cause it was the truth. The little voice in the back of her head kept telling her as he tumbled down the ramp that lead to the exit, 'he will make it' and that she lied to herself. But she still had her duty. As what her cutie mark had told her, she had to take care of all of her animals. When she came back, she was greeted by their loving and caring greetings as if she had been gone forever. At least they were there for her to make her feel better. Even her rabbit Angel acted better after she returned. What Fluttershy didn't see was a rustle in the bushes at the edge of the Everfree forest. "2 minutes!" "Alright, I want this one to go simple and by the books. It doesn't matter what the names are because we all know that SCP's couldn't get any stranger than using names like "Twilight Sparkle." Am I clear?" Mcknight addressed. "Yes sir!" "10 seconds to landing." Evers slowly counted down to ten and was met with a bump as the helicopter touched down. "Move!" The men sprinted out and were greeted by agents and several staff. "The letters have been arranged by D-Class but we were still told to contact you." A staff member said. "Understood. Now move in!" He ordered as his team of ten ran in to the post office. "Where are they?" Roberts asked as a D-Class pointed to a stack of letters. Evers ran over and immediately looked over them. "Dear Princess Celestia. Today I learned something amazing! Everypony everywhere has a special magical connection with her friends, maybe even before she's met them. If you're feeling lonely and you're still searching for your true friends, just look up in the sky. Who knows, maybe you and your future best friends are all looking at the same rainbow." "What the hell?" Patton said before bursting into laughter. "It is strange but the real mystery is, where did this come from?" "Candy land I presume. Oi, look at this one. Dear Princess Celestia, It's a tad easier to be proud when you come in first than it is when you finish further back. But there's no reason to hide when you don't do as well as you'd hoped. You can't run away from your problems. Better to run to your friends and family." "Who the fuck wrote these?" Ben thought out loud. Ryan and Matt sorted through the letters together. "Dear Princess. Dear Princess. Dear Princess. They're all the same." "This is weird man." Finn said as he walked over. "Well lets bag em and take them to the foundation." Mcknight said. Staff began to dump the letters into a bag and that was carried by Frost. Just as soon as they were out the door, radios buzzed on the team and agents in SCP-130. "ALL UNITS. WE HAVE A CONTAINMENT BREACH WITH ALL SCP'S. ANY UNTIS MUST RETURN TO ASSIST IN RE-CONTAIMENT. I REPEAT. ALL UNITS MUST- Oh shit. No. No no no no no no-" "We got a heavy containment breach!" Mcknight yelled as he ran through the post office. A nearby guard nodded at Miller as they raised their rifles and fired, killing the D-Class personnel in the building. "Everyone on board. We need to get back there ASAP." The chopper was soon crowded as everyone piled in. Roberts ran up and got on the radio in the cockpit. "This Alpha-4. On route to facility." "Fuck. Hurry!" A gasp awoke a man lying on the ground in the middle of a dark forest. He rose and looked around. "Where am I?" His brain began to work. It all came back to him. He turned his head to the side to see... "Shit man. It's been so long since we got that call I mean it's fucking night. That facility could be gone." "Shut it Frost! We need to make sure nothing gets out. Even if we have to go to E-Gate." Mckinght said as he looked out the window to see the burning facility. "Alright, What the fuck is at E-Gate? I've heard so many goddamn things about it." Ben said. "It's classified." The chopper quickly landed. Everyone inside ran out and were all shocked at the sight before them. Fires burned while choppers either were trying to get out or were being taken down by SCP-682. One chopper crash was in front of them. "Shit that's the captain!" Patton exclaimed as he ran over. There laid the captain of the MTF's, barely conscious as he looked at the men before him. The agents had escorted the staff away. "Captain, we need to leave." Mcknight said as he grabbed his hand and helped him up. "We will. Get your men to an osprey quickly. A few rouges got to E-Gate and opened it." Mcknight nearly dropped him at the sound of his words. "Shit." Ben was about to speak up if it weren't for the roar of SCP-682 to send the men running to the hangar. "Hurry we need to-" Patton was cut short when a bullet pierced his head. He dropped dead as blood spilled from the wound. It was a sight any prison guard never wanted to see. D-class had gotten into an armory and had supplied themselves with weapons for an escape. They held all kinds from assault rifles to snipers and shotguns. "PATTON! NO!" Ben yelled. "Come on Ben, we have to get out of here." Matt yelled as he pulled Ben up. A few men fired back at the rebels. The rebels fell back. "There are probably more. Let's move." Mcknight hoisted the captain while the team covered him. They quickly moved while trying to get as least of amount of attention as possible. Luckily their chopper landed near the hangar. The team took cover by a building straight across from it. "There's the hangar. We should make it." Finn said. Frost peered around the corner and saw some rebels that didn't seem to notice them. "Anyone got a plan?" "I's simple." Mcknight said. "Evers and I are gonna cross to the hangar while the rest cover us. When we get there, Evers will take the captain while I turn around and cover you guys. Got it?" "You're a damn genius." Roberts commented. "Got it!?" "Yes sir." "Alright, on the count of three. Ready Evers?" "Ready." "One." "Two." "THREE!" As quietly as possible, Evers and Mcknight carried the captain across the open and to the entrance of the hangar. "Alright, take him and go. I'll meet up." "Sir, what does E-Gate have?" Mcknight looked at him and said, "Pray we're gone before you find out." Evers took the captain and helped him inside. Mcknight held up three fingers. Slowly, he lowered one down, then another, when the final finger dropped, the rest of the team went sprinting. Frost was so caught up on escaping that he accidentally tripped and hit the ground, getting the rebels attention. They turned around and opened fire, spraying both Frost and Ryan with bullets. "Aw fuck." Mcknight cursed as he opened fire and killed the shooters. Not fast enough to save Ryan and Frost. "Shit, HURRY!" He yelled. Just before they made it, another roar pierced the air and an explosion rocked the air. A chopper in flames came spinning towards the entrance of the hangar. Evers wasn't shocked to see a fight for the hangar going on. The rebels obviously needed a ride He was just lucky that he was greeted by MTF's when he walked in. "We'll help him. We got one osprey ready to leave. We just need to get to it." Evers nodded and was about to open fire when an explosion shook the hangar. Evers turned to see a chopper had exploded and none other than Mcknight had been caught in the blast. He reached a hand out in sorrow but soon lowered it. "They're in shock from the explosion, move!" Evers and several other MTF's began to sprint for the osprey. Some were gunned down but other were lucky enough to make it. Evers began to cover the two that carried the captain to the osprey. "Get this thing started cause we are leaving!" One yelled as the engine started. The hangar doors opened for the osprey as it took of into the air. Joining a few others. "Spike have you seen my notes?" A small dragon looked up and said "Nope. Haven't seen em." Twilight Gave an annoyed look. "I just need to find them to remind me of better times then this." Spike knew all to well. The nightmares. Twilight screaming in terror in her sleep. She was afraid of the simple task of blinking. Whatever they went through, Spike hoped to never witness it. ... Greg clutching his still bleeding wound. His face was still pale and was only getting whiter. "Shit come on Greg. I'll get you some help." Ricca said as he put Greg's arm around his shoulder. Ricca examined the forest he was in. It seemed like a dark, creepy place. Ricca would have been scared if he hadn't have seen worse. "Wait, what if i'm where-" Fluttershy fed her animals on the normal daily routine. For some odd reason though, the animals seemed happier thatn usual. Fluttershy too felt happy for an odd reason. The rustle in the bushes caught her attention. As if she didn't have a care in the world, she trotted over happily and was soon tackled by an orange blob of slime. She began to laugh as it tickled her. "Oh it's good to see you again." She remembered the last time she met "the tickle monster." Fluttershy had felt so happy. He gave off a sweet scent of fruits and was very playful. The facility didn't seem like such a bad place. Facility. Facility! Fluttershy snapped out of her thoughts. She went from happy to concerned and look at SCP-999. "How did you get here?!" She nearly yelled. But her pupils shrank at the sound of a terrible screeching. "Maybe she is here. She can help Greg and-" A missile fired at the ground near him. Ricca was thrown into the air and watched as the forest burst into flames. "What the-" An osprey flew over head and quickly turned around. The guns opened fire. Ricca had scrambled over to get Greg and get out of the forest but was shot in the leg. Greg was shot again in the chest and fell down, gasping and bleeding. "Shit GREG!" Ricca tried to put pressure on wounds but knew it was hopeless. Greg had grabbed Riccas arm before gasping his last breath until he dropped to the ground, dead. Ricca began to run. Even with a bullet in his leg, he knew it was run or die. The osprey had done another run and fired more bullets at him. After an unknown time of running, Ricca was greeted by a near-blinding sunlight. But it was soon blocked by the osprey. More bullets fired and hit Ricca. Ricca fell to his knees. His hands held him up as he felt his old wounds and new ones bleed. Thinking that it was the end, he let himself fall to the ground. Matt and the rest had began to run. The helipad could have had a chopper. "Are you sure?" "It's either this or die!" Matt took point and ran ahead. He signaled the others to move up. A ladder lead to the top of a building. "It's up here. Lets-" Another roar sounded before gunfire rained down on the men. They ran for cover while firing back. "COVER EACH OTHER WHILE THEY CLIMB UP!" Matt yelled. Ben quickly climbed up. Then Finn. Soon Miller. "Roberts go. I got you covered." Roberts quickly climbed up the ladder. "Now you." Matt climbed up the ladder. But about 75% of the way, a bullet struck his back. He lost grip with one hand. Ben dropped down and tried to grab his hand when another bullet hit him. Matt fell back down and hit the ground, dead. "NO!" "We're leaving!" Roberts said as he got in the chopper. He powered it up. The rest of the team piled in. Ben was trying to keep it together while Finn mourned the lost of his friend. The helicopter lifted off. "So we made it" "Yep. So now we-" A blinding light filled the sky. Suddenly, the scenery of total warzone changed to something else. A castle built into a mountain side with a peaceful town below. "What the fuck?" Author's Note So... what do you think?
So grab your guns and pick a side..."Cause THIS MEANS WAR!!!- The Betrayal by Attack Attack! Fluttershy screamed madly at the sight. SCP-96 ran at her full speed with his claws outstretched. A few bullet wounds in him that didn't effect him at all. But it was all to familiar to Fluttershy. "No. NO!" She screamed as she ran in her house and blocked the door. Didn't stop it's claws as it tore through the door and nearly missed Fluttershy. Another shriek and she ran she ran upstairs. Quickly getting to her room and pausing to think. She saw her window and took off, flying out her window. "I think i'm-" She could feel them, a pair a claws wrapped around wing and drag her back down to the ground. It was hard to tell who screamed louder in the fall. Fluttershy wasted no time in getting up on her hoofs and running to Ponyville, hoping that her friends could help her. But just as it was in sight, two dark figures appeared... Twilight had turned her Library upside down looking for her letters to escape her thoughts. "Are they behind the shelf's?" She thought. To her surprise, when she looked on a shelf, she found a book she didn't recognize. "Encyclopedia of common diseases? Where did this come from?" Twilight used her magic and carried the book to her. Flipping to a random page, she read about one. "Tuberculosis?" Twilight sat down and began to read. Twilight found herself amazed about reading about a disease. One reason was that she had never have heard about such sickness. "Coughing blood, fever. This sounds awful." Just as Twilight was about to flip the page, Spike came running through the door. "TWILIGHT! Come quick!" "What? What is it?!" Twilight asked while trying not to panic at Spike's tone. "Just hurry!" Spike ran and grabbed Twilight, knocking the book out of her hand. They two ran outside to see a sight of horror, Ospreys with crates on the bottom were landing and setting them down. Twilight gasped at the sight of ponies being thrown in cages, including her friends. She recognized the uniforms of the men that were containing her friends and he whole town. Foals were even being contained as she saw Sweetie Belle get tossed in a cage. Twilight realized that the facility that her friends escaped from had came here to Ponyville. "Twilight?" Twilight was in such shock that she didn't notice the men coming towards them. "Twilight?!" A little louder this time. The men were so close that Spike began to back away. "Leave the dragon. Get the pony." Twilight suddenly coughed, a little bit of blood stuck to her lip. "Twilight! Are you okay?" "Run Spike." She said weakly. "But I-" "Run!" Twilight yelled before collapsing. "I can't." Spike said with tears in his eyes. He crawled over and hugged her. She felt nearly sickly warm and her breathing was quiet. "Don't go, please." Spike said in his tears. The men had made it and grabbed Twilight. "No. Please." Spike said. "If I were you, I'd run. You won't to go where your friends are going." "No, she-" "RUN YOU LITTLE WIMPY FUCK!" One yelled as he dragged Twilights' limp body away. Spike ran blindly in tears away. But just as he was nearly out of earshot, a voice whispered to him. "I'm sorry." Spike looked to see a human in blue combat gear with a half ski mask on with his helmet nearly covering his face. But his eyes spoke the words he had just said. Spike just turned around and ran. "What happened?" "I don't know Ben, were landing at that town on the cliff side. We'll get answers there." The helicopter landed and the group was shocked to see others landing there. It looked as if any of the ones that made it were there. AS they landed, they noticed a pony with a white coat and a mane of several flowing colors speaking with the captain, who was being held up by Evers. "Guys, Evers made it." Ben said quietly but was shushed by Roberts. "What is this? You're telling em that my ponies are in danger?" "Yes. We need to get them in cells to make sure that what came with us doesn't harm them." "That's crazy. He can't just lock up a whole damn race of ponies." Miller commented. "It's messed up." Matt agreed. "I refuse to this!" Celestia said. "Have it your way, but when they get here, you'll be regretting this." The captain said. But soon nearly fell as his left side gave away. "I'm not agreeing to this shit sir. Count me out." "If he goes then I go." Soon, about little under half of the MTF's were on the side of ponies, including "Pony Express" minus Evers. "If you are staying then you are against us." They said nothing. "Fine, Evers, take me back to the osprey." Evers wanted to go join his team. But if he drops the captain, he would be in guilt. It was an inner conflict. He couldn't abandon the captain but he didn't want to be the bad guy. "Evers! Come on." Evers accepted his fate and helped the captain back. "We'll be back to get the rest of you." The captain threatened. Ricca awoke with a gasp. He looked around and tried to get up but was forced down. "Don't worry, you're safe now." A soft, majestic voice said to him. "Sleep easy. I have heard a lot about you. I know your intentions will help us." Ricca laid back down and fell asleep nearly instantly. Fluttershy was knocked down by a boot to her ribs from two men. She turned and saw SCP-096 reaching for her. A third man appeared and placed a bag over it's head and to her amazement, it simply sat down. "SCP-096 is at a stable state. We have a runner," The man on his radio glanced at Fluttershy. "Class Pegasus." "Roger, tie it then bring it to the town." "Understood." Fluttershy was pinned to the ground as ropes were tied around her wings to prevent her from flying away. She was picked up and taken to Ponyville. To her horror, the town was the now a prison as ospreys dropped off mobile prison blocks. SCP-096 was lead away as Fluttershy was lead to a cage and thrown in. "Fluttershy?!" A voice called. "Rainbow Dash?" Fluttershy looked around her dark cell and didn't see her. "From across." Fluttershy saw the small bars on her doors and looked through them. Sure enough, Rainbow was across in a cell as well. "The one time i'm on the ground, huh." Dash joked. "Do you think it's-" "I know it's them." They were interrupted by a shriek of terror coming from a cell at the end of the row. "RARITY! HELP!" Sweetie Belle wailed as she sat in a dark cell. "Somepony! Please!" "You won't be getting any help now." "Sweetie Belle shrank back at the sound of a mysterious voice. "Who's there?" "Don't worry, I won't hurt you." Sweetie Belle flinched as a hand petted her head. "Who are you?" A man came visible in the small amount of light in the cell. He had dark skin with near gray hair and dry skin. "My name is Gordon." "Hi Gordon, i'm Sweetie Belle." Gordon gave a warm smile. Sweetie Belle looked at him with amazement. She had never seen a human before. "So, what's happening?" "I guess they found new people to do their work with. Much like me." "What happened to you?" "I had been convicted of a crime. I was placed on death row when a man said that if I worked with him for a month then I would have my charges dropped. I agreed. But after two weeks, I was lucky to have been alive. Then came the day where, instead of being set free, I was to be killed. That's when a bright light took me away and to here." "Wow." That was all Sweetie Belle could say. "Now here I am. Funny where life takes you." "Do you think we'll be okay mister?" Gordon hated to admit it, but if they keep up these living conditions then all these ponies would be as dead as him at the end of the month. "Sure." "ATTENTION CITIZENS OF CANTERLOT!" Princess Celestia addressed to the the crowd. "I understand your concern. But I assure you that the men that chose to stay and fight will do their best to stop those who have Ponyville in lockdown." Spike tried his best to not hug Celestias leg in front of the crowd. After he had found Ricca bleeding, he still hasn't gotten Twilight out of his thoughts. While Celestia gave her speech, a team of three discussed. "We can't just go guns blazing and out air vehicles would give us away to soon." Roberts spoke. "True," A man named Charlie spoke, "perhaps we can get transported there by ponies." "But what if they can't carry us." "Levernz is right. But maybe we can-" "I think I hava an idea." A voice said. The three looked over and were shocked. "I thought all guards were gone or killed." "Not me." "Well then," Charlie approached him "you got a name?" "Ricca."
Planning for the first strike."That's quiet the name. Wanna tell me what a guard was doing at the facility?" Roberts asked. "I was... rouge. And I had met the ponies, six of them I should say, that lived here." Suddenly Ricca shot up. "They live here. And we're here." Levernz looked at him. "Yeah, we got here when..." "SCP-001." "What!?" Ricca looked at them. "Get whatever men that are here. I know what brought us here." "Got it." Charlie went to tell the Princess to get the others. "Why?" "Why what?" Ricca asked. Roberts looked at him and asked, "Why get the others?" Ricca stared at him through his mask and said, "They need to know what happened. I'm practically the one who brought us here." "What in the hell do you mean?" Levernz asked. "I'll tell you." "You better." A female voice said. They both spun around to see Princess Celestia and a baby dragon clutching her leg as if he was hiding from them. Spike ran with tears in his eyes. All of them. Every single pony that he knew and made friends with had been taken and locked up in the prison made in Ponyville. The only thing he could cling to was the words of that one guy who seemed more like he was good then bad like the rest of them. "Spike!" Spike looked up to Princess Celestia riding in a carriage. It landed in front of him. Celestia saw the look on Spikes' face and heard all of the noise coming from the town. "I'm to late." She hung her head in defeat. Spike ran and hugged her leg. "It's awful. Twilight got really sick when they took her." He sobbed more as he remembered the memory. Princess Celestia was about to take off when something caught her eye. There laid a man with a white uniform on. Something about him seemed familiar to her. Thats when she remembered. He was described by Fluttershy as the man that saved her and her friends. Celestia saw his wounds and used her magic to heal them. "Why are you helping him?" Spike asked. "I know him. He's a good man Spike." "No he's not. There are people just like him at Ponyville who locked my friends up." "But there others who are different. They are at Canterlot." "You made friends with them!" "Not all. Just those with good intentions." She assured Spike as she placed the man in the carriage. "So what about him?" Spike asked with a sniff. "He will be okay." That was all Celestia said as she and Spike rode off to Canterlot. "Evers! We land in five." Evers gave a thumbs up as he looked at the town. It seemed so peaceful that it hurt. He was going to have to "contain" these ponies. He didn't want this. What he wanted was to be with his team. He only saw four of them. Did really half of his team get wiped out in the breach? It didn't seem real to him. Evers saw ponies running out of houses to see what the noise was. He couldn't imagine what was going through their minds. He landed and was instantly ordered to 'contain' any pony he sees. But he watched as mobile crates were out down by ospreys and ponies were thrown into them. Some fought. But a big red pony kicked a guy with his back hoofs. Not two seconds later, he was being dragged cause his hind hoofs were both shot. Evers rounded up with two others and was ordered to subdue a pony that was standing by a dragon. But as he and the others went over, he saw her getting pale. By the time he reached her, she had fallen over and was coughing blood. Evers took her and got her. He heard one of his comrades yelling at the dragon. When he got the unicorn to her cell, he ran back to see the little dragon running away in tears. "I'm sorry." He whispered. He was shocked to see the dragon turn around and look at him. As if he heard him. Evers stared back at him with a look of sorrow before the dragon turned around and ran. Another MTF ran up behind him. It was the same one that yelled at the dragon. "I found SCP-1025. I think that unicorn read out of it." "You didn't have to yell." Evers simply said as he walked away. Ricca looked at the crowd below. Several ponies looked at him. A mixture of fear and waiting for answers. The few MTF's compared to the ones that left were right behind him. "I know you're all wondering how we got here? Well I'll tell you. It started at the facility I worked for. We had a containment breach of all SCP's. An SCP is an anomalous artifact or living thing. Such examples include SCP-173 ,our original, who can only move when no one is looking at it. If you aren't then it will kill you. There are for more but we don't know where they are here. As far is Ponyville goes, that whole town is in lockdown. Everypony there is in crates. Odds are they will be used for testing on the SCP's they have contained." An uproar started in the crowd. All wondering about their loved ones in Ponyville. "But we are working on a plan to get them free. It's a slow process but we'll get there." Ricca concluded his speech. "Are you crazy? We are out numbered, out gunned, and out matched. We can't go against them." Charlie bickered. "But we can plan. If they are keeping watch of that place, then all they have to is defend. We can plan tactical strikes. If we're lucky, we can get them when they least expect it." "Ricca, we need a better plan then just luck. And we know that these ponies aren't going to fight." "Well what do you have?" "We need recon. We can easily go at night and learn some things." Ricca looked at Charlie. "You stick to your plan. I'll stick to mine." "Ricca, if you send men in right away, it won't end well." Charlie warned. "Well we'll see who's plan works." Ricca turned around and waved around two fingers together. "To any men willing to fight, come with me." About 50 of the 200 men volunteered, including MTF-Alpha 4. Charlie shook his head as they walked out to the Ospreys and helicopters. "Alright men! This is our first step to taking back Ponyville. Now lets get out there and show the MTF's that we're not with them. We're rouge!" "WAIT!" Celestia cast a spell on any humans in Canterlot. Soon, their fatigues were each given an arm band that had the roya flag that had Celestia and Luna on their sun and moon. "Good idea. We'll identify friendlies this way." Ben said as he showed Ricca the way to the armory in the Osprey. Ricca whistled as he noticed the guns. A wide selection of handguns. He picked up a Beretta and put it in his holster. He went over looking over guns before choosing an H&K MP5. "Nice choice. Never been much of a shooter." Ben commented. "A spotter?" "I guess." Ben said sheepishly. "Well then," Ricca gave Ben a pair of binoculars that had night vision and thermal vision. "Spot for us." Ben gave a nod. "Will do." "Good. Now lets arm up and ship out." Ricca looked over to the pilot of the osprey. "Are we ready?" A female voice responded, "Fueled up and ready on your go Ricca." "Got it miss..." "Reid." "Got it."
How the greatest plans go astray.The sound of blades chopping at the air had filled several ears as air vehicles flew through the air. Pegasi looked in fear and interest. In one of them had Ricca loading his weapons along with nine other men. "Ricca, we have five minutes!" Reid called form the pilot seat. Ricca stood up slightly. The red light only gave the faces of the team he was leading into Ponyville. "Alright. Listen here. Now I know not all of you have fought in a firefight like this. Or have even fought at all. But if we stick to the plan, we can make it out and hopefully do a number on the MTF's. "But how? We can't rush blindly into a firefight." Miller pointed out. "Yeah." Dwayne ,one of Bens friends, said. "We can't rush blindly into a fight like this. "Thanks for that Dwayne. I was getting there. Each squad leader has their own plan, including me." "Who put you in charge? You're a fucking guard!" "Well Paul. I happen to be ex-military. So shut it." "Now here's how it goes. We move in and try to atleast free somepony. We can easily get in and get out. If we move fast, we won't lose a single man." "We're so fucked." A rouge said under his breath. "We're landing soon. HOLD UP! We're taking fire." The opresy began to shake from bullet fire as the doors opened. Clearly Riccas team was late as several ospreys and helicopters had landed and were unloading men that either ran for it or were shot on sight. Ricca looked across to see another rouge team leader sitting on the side like him. Noticing him looking at him he gave him a thumbs up as they descended to land. Ricca saw an RPG just barely miss his ride. "You still confident on that plan sir." "Yes Griffin. I am." The osprey landed and the men rushed out in hopes of not being blown up. Ricca took time to actually realized what he had done. He just dropped his men in thinking he can get away with this. Men were already waiting for their ride back. Some piled back into their rides and waited for the assault to be over. "Evers, get up." Evers looked up from his spot where he was sitting to have a M4A1 tossed at him. "The rouges are on their way. We gotta fight." Evers felt a ping of hope in his heart. If he could hopefully convince them to take him with them, he can finally fight along side his team again. "I'm up." He said as he loaded the rifle and ran out. The sound of gun fire began to fill his ears as helicopters and ospreys landed down. When men poured out, Evers almost raised his rifle when he remembered, he was on their side, whether they knew it or not. "Evers, we're on watch duty for prisoners." His ally called as he made his way over there. "Dom! You and Evers keep watch. I know they're here for them." "Captain, we can't hold them off on our own." A wheelchair rolled in, the captain sat in it as he turned his head towards Dom and Evers. "I have a plan." "What plan?" The captain gave an evil grin. He got on the radio. "Cut power to Containment cells. We'll show these rouges what I have in my power." Eyes. the only visible feature of Evers were enough to show his emotion of what his Captain was doing. They went wide in horror. "You can't do that!" Evers exclaimed. The captain turned around in his wheelchair. "When you have my power, then you'll be able to control the SCP's." Riccas' team moved under the cover of gunfire from what was the army that came to Ponyville. They were the team to rescue what ponies they could. "So is there a specific pony were looking for?" Roberts asked. "Not one, but I hope we can find this one pony I met." "Well point her out to us alright." "Got it." Ricca began to get lost in his thoughts. He had remembered how sad Fluttershy was when she thought he was dead. He had hoped to see her smiling face when she saw that he was alive. All of the memories of their time at the facility. Finding her when she got lost, meeting her, petting her after rescuing her SCP-106. He was so caught up that he felt like he could hear SCP-106 emerging from the ground. He COULD hear SCP-106 emerging. "WHAT THE FUCK!!" Ben screamed as he fired his rifle into the black hole that fomred into the grass near his ground. SCP-106 quickly reached for one of the men on Riccas time. "MARCO!" Dwayne screamed. Ricca suddenly remembered Allan. His best friend that was taken by SCP-106 and never seen again. The same fate Marco was about to face. "No!'' Ricca ran and tackled Marco out of the way just as 106 was about to grab him. * "Run!" Miller yelled as he fired a few bullets at 106. None phasing it. Miller gave up and ran. "Oh fuck!" One called before 106 emerged in front of him and grabbed him. "NO!" He screamed as he thrashed in hope of getting away. Ricca reached a hand out in despair before lowering it. He felt a tap on the shoulder that made him shoot a bullet off. "Relax. It's just me." Dwayne said as he turned around. "Well thats-" A spark emited right by them. They were being shot at. "Fuck. All units return fire." Ricca easily took down the men with good cover. But more kept up the pressure. "Hey Dwanye, on my signal we're gonna fall back. Got it?" "Yeah I-" *snap* Ricca could hear scratching concrete. Dwaynes neck twisted around and his body fell to reveal SCP-173 standing there. "Fuck." Ricca backed away with remaining eye contact. "Dwayne and Paul are down. Marco and Jeff, I need help here." "It's just me right now. I can't find Jeff. We got separated when the bullets were fired." Marco responded on radio. "Tried the radio?" "It's a jammer sir. We're short ranged." "Well tell the others to regroup. We already lost two men." "Roger." Fluttershy and other ponies put their heads down and covered their ears. She hated the sound of gunfire ever since the Facility. Meanwhile, Twilight sickly laid in her cell. A pile of blood forming on the ground like a "drool-pool." She had to have gotten so sick when they arrived. If you looked up "Bad timing" in the dictionary, you'd see the mare dying just as her town is turned into a prison. She hoped that help was on they way. Cause she knew she wouldn't make it without it. "Fuck Ricca. We can't find Jeff anywhere." Ben said slightly panicked. "Keep it together Ben. We're sticking to the plan. Jeff was bound to have followed. Lets move." The team did as Ricca ordered. Though some would have left by now. But a short investigation lead them to their answer. A bloody corpse with an Ithaca by it. "JEFF!" Marco yelled at the sight. "Come on. We need to move." "No Ricca. We've lost to much men for a ten man team. If we don't pull all of the others out, we're screwed for the next fight." Roberts told him. Ricca was about to protest before he looked around. All of his team looked like it was enough. The overall fight had been bad with rides being shot down. Ricca got on his radio. "All teams that are left. We're leaving." The team quickly ran back. The fight had began to got heavy as the osprey landed. "Hurry RIcca. We're burning daylight." Reid called. Ricca hurried his team on before he got on himself. Finn was busy covering them. "Come on Finn! We're leaving!" Finn turned and was shot twice. He fell to his knees. Despite his attempts, he couldn't get up. "No! Finn!" Ben called out. He tried to get off the osprey to help but was blocked by a team mate. Finn simply waved them off. He knew he wouldn't make it. Why bother costing more lives to save a lost one. Reid looked at Ricca, who gave a nod. She took off along with the others. Finn stood on his knees and watched the teams fly off to Canterlot. An MTF came from behind and knocked him out with the butt of his rifle. When Ricca got back. Charlie himself was personally waiting for him. He gave Ricca the look. Ricca just waved him off as he walked to the makeshift Command Center. When he got there, Princess Celestia and Luna were talking to Levernz. The look Ricca gave let them both know that the invasion was a failure. Finn woke up in what looked like a bakery. When he stood up, a voice of a small girl nearly startled him. "Mister, are you alright?" A small, gray unicorn asked. "Yeah, i'm fine." Despite grunting in pain form gunshot wounds. "Glad to see you're awake Finn." "Captain! Why are you doing this?" "Why not. Have you ever had the power to keep an entire race under your control? No. I thought so. We're the dominant here. We will be the ones to show them our power." Finn asked another question. "Where are we?" "Look in the corner." Finn looked and gasped. SCP-173 stood facing the wall. The filly screamed and covered her eyes. Finn, in a panic, blinked and SCP-173 moved closer. The filly saw it's arms and creepy face and cried into her hooves. Finn went over and hugged her in his way of protecting her. "You have a choice here. One of you can die. Finn, if you live, you can go back to Canterlot with your team. If the filly lives, she goes back to her prison life with the guarantee that she doesn't have to look at an SCP again. The choice is yours." Finn knew his answer. He leaned down and whispered into the fillys' ear. "You're gonna be okay. You just have to stay close to me." "But mister, you'll die." "Rather me then you." "But you don't know me." Finn gave a sigh. "But its my job to protect people. Even little ones like you. The filly then cried and hugged Finn. And there, crouched over the filly to protect her, Finn knew that the moment he was killed, eye contact would resume from the men outside. Knowing the filly would be safe, he muttered a prayer and closed his eyes. And they never opened. * A lot of Resident Evil 6 references.
Night Op."Well Ricca. I won't say I told you so. I don't need to. You can go look for yourself." Charlie paced back and fourth in front of Ricca. The sight of men trying to get the thought of the loss of their friends and some trying not to loss it were just on the other side of the wall. "But I will say this, what the fuck were you thinking? Did you honestly think that we could just rush in and hope that we could do some damage. While sure we might have killed some of their men, its like throwing a handful of water on lava. We may do something but it's not like it mattered." Ricca wished he could rub his head through his helmet. "And was your plan better?" "Who cares about 'which plan was better.' Even Princess Celestia herself thought we should have taken that course of action. But instead you go and rush firing your shot gun in the air thinking you have a chance." Ricca stood up. "You know, you're acting like I'm a total failure. I wanted to see what was going on. I had no idea they had the power of a military base aimed right at us." Charlie took a deep breath. "Ricca, could it be that you were hoping to see the ponies you met and hoped to tell or give them a sign that you were alive." Ricca sat back down. He had never thought of it that way. If he was lucky to say that the one pony he grabbed out of their was Fluttershy, he made himself think that he'd achieve his goal. "I'll let you think about it. I need to borrow your team. We're heading out tonight." Charlie said as he walked out. "Wait! You're still following through." Ricca said as he ran walked by him. "Yep, we plan to have them never know we were there." He said. "And why my team exactly?" "Cause your team got in the farthest, I need some people who know their way around." "You honestly think that they remember that place up and down. They didn't have time to map it when uh I don't know, oh yeah, we were getting shot at and killed by SCP's!" Ricca replied sarcastically. "Well, I need what I can get. Even if its all scattered." "Fine. Just go easy. Some are a bit shaken." "Yeah, I know for a fact Ben is horrified of SCP-106." Ricca looked up. "Really?" "Oh yeah! First day, 106 escaped containment and nearly caught Ben. Poor bastard has been scarred since." "Man." Ricca shook his head a little at the thought of a bad first day. "So yeah, we're heading out tonight. About that team?" Charlie asked. "They're not mine. Take them." Ricca said as he walked off. The Captain pushed his wheelchair around. "That was far to damn easy." He taunted to himself as he rolled around what was Twilight's library. "Sir, I found using the SCP's wasn't a smart tactic. In the events a breach happened-" One MTF said. "A controlled breach." He said. "Nico, it was all under control." He said madly. The other MTF, named Micheal leaned over and whispered. "I think he's lost it." "Now get out of here, night is kicking in and I need a patrol." He said as he leaned back, groaning a little in pain from his legs. The two walked out. "I think we should have joined the resistance." Micheal said. "Hell yeah, my team wanted to go with those guys. I think they're even starting to regret it though." "Well looks like we're fucked. For now, lets just do our patrols, I take west side, you take East." Nico nodded. "Got it." He said as the two walked off. Evers felt the sun shining down on the town as he patrolled the cells. Each filled with somepony either crying out for help or trying to call to other cells. "Please let me out! My foal is a newborn!" A mare cried out, practically begging with her very life to get out. Evers had to ignore it, he would have loved to at least help the mare in some way. 'Screw this.' He thought as he turned around. "Ma'am, what does your foal look like?" He asked as he reached her cell. "He's..." She took a moment to wipe her tears away. "He's about a month old. Has a light green coat and yellow mane." The MTF nodded. "I'll go check on him." The mare began to cry tears of joy. "Thank you!" Was all she could get out of her hysteria. As Evers walked to the area where they kept the young ones, he felt a bit of guilt that he was only helping the one mare while the rest could only sit around. He turned and saw a dark face from within the cell staring at him. It gave him a look that said he did the right thing. Evers nodded at him and walked off. Gordan sat back down. Sweetie Belle laid next to him, holding her tail in comfort. "So not all of them are bad guys?" She asked. Gordan thought for a moment, until saying "I guess not." Sweetie Belle ran her hoof over the last rays of sunlight shining into the cell as the sun set. "This operation should be smooth and by the books. No shots should be fired at all and we make it like we were never there." Charlie said as he put silencers on the weapons. He grabbed night vision goggles and handed them to the four others in his group. Ben looked at him nervously. "Do you really think we can do that?" He asked. "Yes Ben, and I believe that you can help make that a possibility." Charlie said as he handed him a silenced mp5. Roberts silenced his m416 while Miller and grabbed a pistol since a silenced LMG wasn't going to do much. "And I know you're mad about the lost of you're teammate, but try not to let that get the best of you." He ordered. Marco happened to be tagging along as he grabbed an M4A1 with hybrid sights and silencer. "Lets hope all goes well." Luna finished raising the moon as the sun disappeared. Reid checked the fuel on the Osprey. "We're all fueled up." She said, "Lets get this show on the road." Charlie nodded. "Got it, we'll be back in a few hours." He said as he got in. The others followed in. Once all boarded, the engine roared to life as the doors slammed shut. Ricca watched them and was joined by another. "Carver, we need to plan for the next assault." "Right away." He nodded. "Attention everybody and pony. SCP-096 has been let loose in the Northern area. Any of those held in the area are to not look outside. Guards may not be able to see you if see it's face." 096 walked around hazily as two guards followed behind. Both looked down as it rounded the corner to avoid eye sight. The Captain spoke once more into the microphone. "I would like to thank all of you for your patience and cooperation in this situation. We understand that this is hard on all of you. We are as confused as you are, once we understand this world then this will be over." Twilight coughed a little more blood and struggled to keep her food down by drinking some water. Fluttershy shook in fear. Rainbow Dash slammed her hooves on the door. Rarity tried to comfort her sister from across the road. Applejack tried not to lose herself in wondering where Applebloom was. Pinkie Pie wept with a flat mane. "As for the rebels, they will perish soon. Their threat will never harm you, I promise." Evers nearly grabbed his gun and put a bullet in his head. Knowing that he would have been killed, he instead walked outside. "This is as close as I can get you without being spotted." Reid said on the teams radio. "We rendezvous here in one hour. Good luck." She said as they repelled down. Each individual landed on their feet and got up and looked around. "I can't even see my own hand." Miller commented at the darkness of the forest. "NVG's on team." Charlie ordered as he pulled his pair down. The team could see the green of the light and where they were now. "We're ten minutes out." Roberts informed. "Lets move quickly." Marco said as they moved silently. "We can't give a vibe that we're here. not even to ponies. So matter how much, do not release or talk to them." Charlie told them. "Got it?" "Yes sir." As they moved and saw the lights of the once-town-now-prison in sight. "That explains why there was no wildlife nearby." Miller pointed out. "Lets move in." Charlie said as they all tiptoed in. The sound of crying ponies along with guards talking amongst themselves gave atmosphere to the prison town as the team moved in. "Stay out of the light. Stick to the shadows." Luna had dyed the garbs black for a fitting camouflage for this operation, making it easier to hide in the shadows. She also made it very dark out. Ben lifted up his NVG's and rubbed his eyes. "That portable looks like a good place to start." Marco pointed out. "Roberts, you and Marco check the place out while the rest of us of us keep guard." "Got it." Patrolled passed by, they were in the part where the East and West wing merged. "Do not engage. Even if you can get away with it." Miller took his hand off his gun. The two patrol eventually split. As soon as they were out of eyesight, they rushed across the path. Roberts and Marco rushed up the walkway and found the door unlocked. "Clear." They went inside for a quick moment. As for the rest, they took guard around the portable building. "How long?" "Unless it gets bad, thirty minutes. Reid is waiting for us." Miller shushed the two. He heard something. "Get down." He said as he hid under the portable. "I thought patrols were just here?" Ben said. "I guess they-" Charlie reached over and clamped his hand on Ben's mouth. The legs of SCP-096 had stopped right in front of them and stood there for a while. "Why's this thing stopping?" A guard asked. Ben looked with a look of panic while Charlie tried his best to restrain. Miller had his hand on the trigger. "Move it." The guard got it to move. "Nothings here." They waited for what felt like an hour before eventually crawling out. "Marco, Roberts we're getting out of here." "Why?" "Hold that thought, Reid, we're leaving early. They let SCP-096 out and I don't feel like keeping out of it's sight." "Roger that." Charlie got off the radio. "Lets get the hell out of here."
