Too young to die

Still, no thoughts came to mind at how these two weapons, along with ammo, came along in my imagination. But, to be honest, I'm still grateful, means the alien just got some weapons. But than again, these shouldn't be real, these are just some weapons made by game designers, this just couldn't be possible. All these thoughts ran through my head as I lay there, the surrounding ponies watched in awe, as the now rising sun, glinted off the polished steel of the weapon. Thing is, it was the Halo 4 edition. The Halo 2 and Halo 3 edition, would also be welcomed, but I guess the advance in technology should of made me happy.

Time to check out the magnum, setting the rifle in my lap, I gauged the weight of the hand-gun, it was about the weight of a small handheld vacuum cleaner. It was the Halo 3 version. My two favorite weapons in the whole of the entire Halo game, you know, why didn't something else come through, like from a different game now that I think about. I truly love Halo, I've played every single one, but... why these guns in particular? Whatever, these things are still cool anywa-... my thoughts were cut off by Applejack, "Hey, sugarcube, ah gotta ask, wha' were those flyin' thingah majiggers?" I smiled, "UNSC Frigates, the ring is called a Halo, the smaller flying things are Banshees, the four legged things, were scarabs, the three legged things were striders, and the guns I'm holding are all from one game, Halo, but, the striders are from a game called Half Life 2."

"These guns however, are just two out of hundreds of a UNSC arsenal, UNSC stands for United Nation Space Command, I'm not sure if UNSC is real, or just apart of the game, but the game takes place in the future, the stuff I imagined, well, man, I didn't think it would be this hard to explain a game. Okay, I'll give you a very brief, overview of the game. The USNC are at war with the Covenant, an alien race intent on destroying the Human race, the Covenant instead of shooting projectiles like UNSC weapons, they shoot plasma, you guys probably have no idea what plasma is, and I don't know much about it either, only that it is most likely high electrical pulses, from what I could tell anyways."

"Now I need to figure out what I'm going to do with these." I motioned towards the rifle and magnum. It was then I noticed that Twilight was taking notes, "Twilight, really? You don't need to take notes on a video game, not like you guys are going to get Technology powerful enough to challenge magic... yet." She seemed shocked, "Technology can't challenge magic, it would only get in the way, but I do like the prospect of learning new things." I shook my head at her naivety, "You have no idea what Humans have accomplished with technology, okay, lets see, can magic, hold 83 different songs, and still have room for about... hmm, lets say, 185 more?"

She looked baffled before regaining her composure, "Show me." And that I did, I whipped out my MP3 player, "See here, this is how much room I'm using with only 83 songs, of course I used my MP3 as an example, and look how much room that took up, see how much is left? This is just one of the cheap ones too! Only maybe, a dollar or two." She rolled her eyes, "Okay, Mr. smarty pants, show me something else." I got up unsteadily, because of the cast. I walked up to the window and stared at the sun for a good minute, with my glasses on, luckily it was still morning.

After the transition was done I spun around and looked at Twilight, a smug look on, "Yup, just chillin' with my shades on..." Her jaw dropped, "B-b-but, those were just normal glasses a minute ago! How, how, did they turn into shades?" I grinned, "These are transitions, cost a bit more than regular glasses, but, hey, they double as shades, and they help me see. So, its a win-win." I sat back down on the bed, Twilight spoke up one more time, while Princess Celestia, Luna and the other fove were trying not to laugh, "Show me one more thing, and I'll believe you." I couldn't really think of anything, until my eyes landed on the magnum...

Picking it up, "Twilight cast a silence spell on this gun, and make a make-shift target." She complied, causing my pistol to glow purple before settling down, I grabbed a clip, putting it into the chamber, and cocking it. I took aim, breathing in, then exhaling, I took the shot. The sound was muffled, but the bullet flew straight through Twilight's target, and went in the wall and out the other side, only to stop in the next one. (Damn did it have a recoil!) I smirked, "That good enough for ya?" All their jaws dropped, staring at the hole in the wall.

"Okay, I believe you, technology can beat magic." I laid back, "Yup, and these are just the beginning, meaning, there are worse, and deadlier, things then these." Celestia took one look at the gun, "Justin, can I trust you to not use these to your own expense, look me in the eyes and say so." I gazed into those fathomless eyes, they show worry, fear, and possible excitement, I bit my cheek from grinning, "Yes, you can trust me." I meant it to, I wouldn't use these to threaten a pony, they're too cute! Wow, didn't think I'd say that, but it's true! The other five filed out, from a command of Celestia.

"Luna, may I ask a favor of you?" I asked,

"Sure, what is it?" She replied.

"Can you make a magical holster, for my magnum and my Battle Rifle?"

She nodded and magical pouches appeared, I grabbed them with my arm that wasn't in a cast. I slung the Rifle across my chest, the magnum holster fit snugly on my side. Grabbing the weapons I put them in their appropriate holsters, "Luna, one last thing, can you make me a belt, that will hold my Rifle and Magnum rounds? Thanks your the best." I equipped it around my waist, the holsters had an indigo glow to them, "Luna, will these disappear?" I asked pointing at the holsters, she shook her head, "As long as I'm alive they will still be their, also they're permanent so I don't need to maintain the spell."

After thanking her again, I filled the pouches, feeling like a mother fucking badass! Not only did I have wings, but I have proper weaponry, I just couldn't shake off the feeling that something bad will happen. I looked up, "Hey, what's today?" Twilight brought a hoof to her chin, "It's February 12, 2013." I stared at them, eyes wide. Ponies use the same calendar as humans? "Justin, is something wrong?" Celestia asked, I shook my head, "How is it that ponies, and humans use the same calendar? Nevermind that, but wouldn't that mean Valentines day is two days away?" They seemed confused, before Twilight spoke up, "Ooh! You mean Hearts and Hooves day!"

I shook my head, OF COURSE! Of course I come at this date, "Um, this is weird, if Hearts and Hooves day is what I think it is, than human's Valentines day, is the same day as Hearts and Hooves. Does this mean something?" Twilight continued. I spoke up, "When do you have Nightmare Night?" Twilight thought for a second, Luna of course spoke up, "October 31! It's in fact a holiday for me, more Nightmare Moon, bbuuuttt, I guess it's close enough." She smiled, and I coughed, "Well, that's great, my birthday is on that date, and that is when the event Halloween takes place."

"Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! You don't really mean that do you? Or do you? Do you?" I laughed at Luna's giddy outburst, I guess many ponies don't have a birthday on Halloween, "Erm, yeah. No joke, I really was born then, it was 5:51 PM if I remember correctly." She began to squee like a little filly, much to the amusement of Celestia, Twilight and I. I chuckled nervously, no idea what Luna would do o-... my thoughts were cut off by my stomach rumbling.

As if on cue, a nurse walked in with food, and it was also then I began to feel sick, must be from not eating anything I thought. She handed me my tray of food, and I began to eat ravenously, but still with dignity. After I finished I still felt sick, the nurse took the tray and put a hoof on my forehead, "Honey, are you alright? You look pale." A headache began to pound it's way into my mind, and I rubbed my temples. "I think it may be the lack of meat." I said, I began to feel a shortness of breath, but as quickly as it came it was gone.

"Yup, definitely lack of meat. Sorry, I know you won't like the idea of me eating another living thing, but, it's either that or I die." Twilight looked sickened, Celestia and Luna nodded in understanding. I shrugged, "Sorry, I really am, guess Everfree Hunting is a go!" I chuckled at my own joke, "Don't be sorry, it's not really your fault anyways." Celestia spoke, using her trademark motherly tone. Well, what if it really was trademarked? Nevermind, stray thoughts get out! I felt the sickness coming back, I wheezed, "Yup, now I'm dead sure........" Blackness enveloped me...

~~~~

I gasped and my eyes fluttered, I shot up, causing the blood to rush to my head, I held my head, and groaned. The headache was still pulsing, "Gahhuhh! Now I know, why Mom always said to eat all my food." I rubbed my temples, and closed my eyes. I took a few deep breaths trying to calm my pulsing head, it felt like it was on the verge of turning into a migraine, I had one of those only once, lemme tell ya. You don't want to have one. I felt the tingle of Celestia's magic on my forehead, the pain lessened until it was almost gone, "Thanks Princess."

I slowly opened my eyes to see the nurse, Celestia, Luna, and Twilight with looks of worry on their faces. "I'm going to be fine, I just need to get some protein and iron. And thanks for the meal nurse." I gave a weak smile, and sat up on the edge of the bed, I've been in here awhile. "Justin, your leg is fine now, your wing is almost done healing and your arm looks like it's going to be fine, meaning, your okay to go, just don't do anything strenuous." I nodded at the nurse, she took the cast off my leg, wing, and arm. She replaced the cast on my wing and arm with splints, leaving my leg alone.

I thanked her, and stood up, my leg was slightly wobbly from not using it all in the past few days. As I walked out, Celestia, Luna and Twilight followed, I opened the door and stood aside, saying, "Mares first." This caused them to giggle, but all the same trotted out. I followed closing the door behind me, the hallway we found ourselves in was full of doorways and branched off in different directions. I followed the trio, walking slightly behind them. After a minute of walking, we entered the waiting room, where we were greeted by Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Rainbow Dash.

I gave them a weak smile, I guess my face must've still been pale, because Pinkie shot up in the air, "OhmygoshJustinareyouallrightyoudon'tlooktowellyoushouldhaveadoctorlookatthatordoyoualreadyknowwhyyoursickdoyoudoyoudoyou?" I took a step back, and I winced as my wing brushed against the fabric of my shirt. "Pinkie, I have no idea what you said, would you mind saying it again slowly this time?" She nodded before, taking a deep breath, "Oooohhh mmmmyyyy gggooosssshhh Jjjjjuuusss-..." I grabbed her muzzle quieting her, and groaned, "Nevermind." She nodded and began hopping around the room.

I sighed and shook my head, causing the receptionist and the other ponies in the room to laugh. I walked unsteadily to the desk, "Um, hello, I guess I'd be signing out of the hospital." She nodded and asked, "What's your name?"

"Justin Smith"

"Ah! Here you are." She crossed out my name, "Bye! Hope you have a good day." And with that we all walked outside. I hadn't noticed it yet, but there were Hearts and Hooves decorations everywhere! "So," I began, "Where am I going to stay for the night? Cause I can't fly up to my cloud." Even though it was still the afternoon I still wanted to know where I would be staying, "Ooh! You could stay with me!" Pinkie shouted and kept on jumping around, "We have a spare room at Sugarcube corner no one is using! Oo! Oo! It could be like a sleep over, a sleep over party? PERFECT!" She zoomed away, leaving behind a trail of pink.

"Erm, guess I'm staying at Sugarcube, I guess this is bye?" We all said our farewells and I walked towards Sugarcube corner...
