Code: Lyoko: The War For Cazareth

Chapter 3

"Alright recruits, today, Equestria faces a greater threat than ever, as you can see, I am evidence of the fact that there are more than just timber wolves and ghosts that can cause harm, today, marks the Creation of the 267th legion, the first militarized force in Equestria, and you fine men, and women, are the first to use these new weapons and armor..." Dan said pacing back and forth in front of his new recruits.

"What exactly is this stuff, I-If you don't mind me asking?" asked a rather frightened Pegasus stallion.

Dan walked up to the recruit.

"What's your name recruit?" he asked

"Umm, It's Starfall, sir..." said Starfall.

"Starfall... Nice name... Make sure you remember who you are..." said Dan as he walked away to grab the armor.

"Put this on, it is your new armor, to be worn at all times, it is made of Carbon nano-tubing, really cool, and light, but VERY strong, yet it wont protect against squat, other than cosmetic damage, and generic bullets, and by squat i mean anything that our enemy will use against us, mostly because we are limited by our resources here... Here I have your weapons, each weapon is specific to each race. This is the DC-24 Arcane carbine, used by the unicorns, who have to levitate the weapon and think of firing it, the levitation is amplified by enchantments which in turn, amplify the bullets, which thus can tear through 4 feet of steel, all these weapons have a telekinetic trigger... This is the DC-41 Arcane bolter, used by the pegasi, same firing, except hand held and very light, it is meant for scouting missions. This is the DC-419 Arcane Railgun, used by all races, can be levitated or hand held, large bullet capacity, DO NOT LOOK INTO OR STAND IN FRONT OF THIS GUN, You will most likely get blown to bits. And for the Earth ponies, you get the DC-69 Mini-gun, yes, its powerful, no it does not shoot chocolate, and as the same as the last one, DON'T STAND IN FRONT OF IT OR LOOK INSIDE THE BARREL, that is for a different reason though. Also, they are called Arcane weapons be cause I used Arcane enchantments on them and the ammo, so it would only be wise to point this thing at something you intend to kill or mutilate horribly. Now, I've covered weapons and armor, lets go testing." said Dan as he signaled the recruits to a firing range.

"Later you will do a simulation of combat followed by a live fire course, the armor will ensure you don't die and that your body will still work, but getting hit will make you wish for death to relive you of the pain, I'm just joking, but it hurts a lot."

The recruits picked up their assigned weapons and lined up for the range. Each recruit seemed to be doing quite horribly at first, but they soon picked up, especially recruit Starfall, he seemed to know what he was actually aiming for.

"Not bad recruits, a few more months of training and you might stand a chance against the enemy, who we don't really know much about... Scratch that, just do as I say and you'll be back home in no less than 15 pieces, I promise." Dan said as he walked away from the group of recruits.

"Get some training in before you go to sleep, some of you- well, most of you, seemed to have lost track of time, but that doesn't account for you people taking 23 minutes between each shot, also, Starfall, come and see me when you can."

Starfall went to his assigned quarters after his meeting with Dan, he had yet to wonder why he was called in, he did nothing out of the ordinary, or, at least he thought. He entered the mess-hall to see more recruits than he remembered seeing earlier.

"Where the heck have you been man? We thought you left yesterday after he called you in." said one stallion.

"I only just came back from the meeting now..." said Starfall, obviously confused.

"Bro, listen to me, you have been gone for a whole day, maybe you forgot what you were doing, but it was a whole day, my name is Tiled Sky, weird name right? anyway, I'm your bunk mate, I'm just making sure you didn't bail, or else you would have been shot with one of those guns we tested." said Sky.

"Alright then, I guess I'll see you later then-"

"Who are you talking to?" asked Dan.

"Wait- What the, I was just- But-" Starfall began to grow even more confused.

"Just as I suspected, you notice it too..." said Dan.

"Notice what?"

"Don't you feel like something is wrong, like something is to short or like one hour felt like mere seconds?"

"Yeah, but I was just at the cafeteria, but tomorrow, and I was nowhere to be found after this meeting and that time tomorrow."

"That is because the whole of creation is breaking apart, what ever happens in this war will destroy creation, inevitably, but I don't know when..."

"What the hell are you even talking about? I'm still getting used to the fact that you're basically a hairless ape with magical powers, AND EVEN THAT I'M STILL FINDING HARD TO UNDERSTAND!"

"I'll explain as we go along, but you must tell NO ONE of this, and I mean it, you may be thinking 'Oh well if the whole of creation is going to be destroyed then why the hell should I care?' Well, Just because it is destroyed, doesn't mean that it can't be rebuilt, it's called recycling, stuff cant really ever be created or destroyed, it's just less orderly..."

Starfall awoke in his bed in the barracks.

"What the hell? Damn, I got to stop drinking coffee..."

"SHUT UP AND SLEEP!" shouted a rather agitated stallion from across the room.

"A third day behind me, and many more to come I guess..."
