Metal Gear Pony: Day or Night

~Chapter 2: Free Fallin’~

~Solar Empire Skies~

~Above cloud layer~

Our hot-headed hero is sitting in a jet, which is just big enough for a pilot and a passenger. He is wearing a camouflage sneaking suit, and his wings are tucked inside to so the red of his wings doesn’t stand out. He is wearing a bandana to hold his mane out of his face, a small bag strapped to his side, and he has a combat knife strapped to his left front leg. He also has a bored look on his face. “Are we there yet...?”

"Yes, thankfully..now you can stop asking.” says the pilot, not even bothering to hide how annoyed he is. Who even is this guy...why is HE so important all of a sudden......hey... ”HEY!!! Wait until I give you the signal you idiot!”

While the pilot was busy with his thoughts, Blaze pressed a button that opened the door on the bottom of the jet and the wind quickly rushes in on them. “About time." He checks himself to be sure he’s ready, then leaps out of the plane, not realizing that he jumped out too early.

Okay, mental checklist.....First, I need to stock on food. Hopefully I don’t need to resort to eating meat...bleh...After that, I need to scout the area for hostiles... As he goes through his mental checklist, something he picked up from Twilight, he lets out his wings and uses them to slow his descent, like a parachute.  Its a good thing he’s a Pegasus, because he doesn’t have one of those. After a few minutes, he finally reaches the forest.....and lands stomach first on a tree branch. “Ow...”

After struggling for awhile, he finally ends up falling right out of the branch to the forest floor. “Ow...well this is a great sign of things to come....”

BEEP BEEP

“Huh..? Oh.” He pushes a button on his earpiece and quickly wishes to turn it off.

“MORON!!!”

“Hi Twi...”

“That’s COMMANDER to you. You need to learn to listen you know that?? Black Hawk told you to wait for his signal!”

“Okay okay....I’m only half a mile from the drop zone though, so don’t worry.”

Twilight sighs. “Alright..at least you made it down safely. Okay, as of now, you need to refer to me by my codename. Commander Sparks.”

“I like it.”

“Good. Okay, before you head off we need to go over a few things. First off, you won’t be completely alone.”

“But I thought this was a solo mission..”

“It is, but you will have help via radio. If you need any tips, talk to me. My radio signal is 145.1.”

“145.1...got it.”

“Next, there’s someone you might know...”

“...Who?”

His jaw drops slightly when he hears none other than Posey’s voice. “Hello Flame...oh! I mean Blaze..”

“Posey...what are you doing with Pony-Hound??”

“Well, I joined up a few months ago. I was excited to see you again, but we were both so busy that we never got to talk until now...” After an interrupting cough from Twilight, she realizes the situation again. “Oh, Right. I will be your medical aid. If you need any help with treating wounds and such, call me at 145.2..my codename is Doctor Flower.”

“Got it doc. Oh...and uh..” He blushes a bit, thankful she can’t see him.

“Yes..?”

“Its uh...its good to hear your voice again..”
