Friendship Is Thicker Than Blood

A cold breeze went though my open shirt, I feel so drained...Where..am I. As my eye sight started to become more clearer I noticed it was dark...And Freezing cold. Finally my vision was restored and i realized that I was in a dark forest

Where the fuck am I. This isn't Afghan I looked around some more and found nothing resembling anything i've ever seen..Is this Hell? Or was i sent to heaven? I thought about it for a moment, but then i realized that there is no way that I would be sent to Heaven not after the shit i've done.

"Anthony! I remember I.. I...was shot." I quickly checked my stomach to see if I still had a bullet wound but there was Nothing "...Whats going on here" I said to myself. "I remember....RPG..I...Died or did I? This doesn't look like Heaven or Hell."

"Only one way to see if this is real." I unsheathed my knife and poked myself hard in the arm. *UMH* that hurt and i'm bleeding so i'm not dead...Thats ...good to know. If i'm here where is anthony, But the real question is where the fuck am i?"

"Corporal Jackson to dragon's nest do you copy, Over"

.........

"Repeat This is Corporal Jackson, Dragon's nest do you copy, Over"

.........

"Fuck worst thing that can happen while your stranded in a unknown location. FUCKING COMS, I said in frustration.

Hmmm this is gonna be a long day,I better make sure to check my equipment."

"Alright then ku-bar knife, empty water sack...Fuck, No kevlar" I let out a sigh in annoyance. "I shouldn't been so lazy and just picked up my fucking kevlar from the humvee. Lets see...First aid kit, My M9 handgun with 3 mags and my M4 with 4 mags....Mother fucker, I bet if Anthony was here he would laugh at me for always being so unprepared. And last but not least my iphone. At Least i can use it as a compass and time tracker" i said to myself.

"I better get moving now.'' I checked my Phone and 100% battery left Time 11:47.

''First things first i need to find some sort of high ground.'' I looked around and saw a mountain off at the distance. ''Lets get moving then.''

12:19

''This forest is fucking creepy. I'm expecting Slenderman to show up any minute to brain fuck me'' I said to myself...''Oh god i'm starting to sound like Anthony.'' After walking a couple of minutes I had reached my destination ''finally i'm here, Now all i need to is find a.-'' I was interrupted by a loud growling sound from behind me.

I turned around to see a huge lion with...what appeared to have wings and a scorpion tail. What ...The ...Fuck I knew exactly what this thing was''....Manticore.'' I stood still in fear from the beast, It was looking at me with hunger in its eyes. ''Alright then enough of this''

''Sorry Garfield, But today i'm not in the menu'' In a lightning quick move I aimed my rifle at him only for it to go ...Click Click. ''ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME.'' The Manticore leaped towards me and tried to maul me but i rolled away just in time to dodge his strike. I quickly pulled out my M9 And shot the manticore

*BANG BANG BANG BANG click click click click.....*

I hit him 2 times in the chest and 2 times in front paw. ''WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME I couldn't get a headshot on that!?'' I said out loud. The manticore turning its head towards me. I started running and yelling ''Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck''  But luckily I had an advantage over the injured it was limping and was significantly slowed down. I kept Running for what felt like an eternity but after a while i came to a River.

FUCK, lets just hope it dosent like water, I jumped into the river and swim with the current, And finally to my luck the lion stopped In fear off the water. It gave out a loud Roar in anger towards me escaping. After a several minutes of swimming I went back on land. I was the definition of exhausted I couldn't move another muscle and I need to rest for a moment.

''This isn't my day today'' I said to myself before changing my M9 mag. I noticed then. ''Fuck Fuck Fuck i must have dropped my fucking M4. I let out a deep breath as in saying. This has got to be the worst fucking day in service. ''I need to take an hour to rest. If another of those fuckers show up in the road I won't make it'' And just like that i fell asleep.

LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEROOOOOOOOOY JENKIIIIIINNNNSS!!!!!!

I woke up to the laud yelling That sounded like Anthony. I only know one fucktard that still uses that dated meme.

I stood up and ran towards the location of the yelling. Then i saw him....Fighting wooden wolves...Holy shit he ripped off one of their heads. I made my way closer to him through the grassy field.

OVERKILL KILLING SPREE!!!!

I saw that my friend was tackled down by two of the wolves. and....they were ripping apart his throat,

NOOO ANTHONY!!

I took out my M9 Even with my eyes covered with tears i still could aim and

BANG

BANG

I shoot Another round at the wolf that had turned away from Biting my best friend.

After killing the wolf the Rest of the pack ran away from the fear of the sound. I quickly ran towards anthony and I saw him Coughing up blood and...Smiling. ''Dafuq are you smiling at'' I said to anthony in a loud voice.

''Haha *Cough* my sins have returned to. rip my throat out.'' he said while coughing/laughing more blood and passing out.

''Aw shit man you are completely fucked up.'' I was about to panic but Then I heard a voice from behind saying.

''We can help,'' as i turned around to see a orange pony with blond hair and a southern accent.

I was shocked by the talking pony But right now if i don't do something my brother will die. ''I'l take any help i can get at the moment what can you do?'' I said with a desperate stressed voice.

My friend lives here nearby and she can help your Friend said the orange pony. ''GIRLS run back to ponyville and get the others.''

The three fillies looked in horror and shock from what had happened to anthony. ''GIRLS!!'' she yelled out again waking them up from their shocked state.

''Um..Yeah okey.'' as the three fillies started running towards the town in the horizon.

I started picking james up from the ground and i could feel his blood going down my neck and back.

''Hold on brother. Your not gonna die here.Not today,'' Where to I asked the orange pony.

Follow me she responded.

I followed the orange pony to a small cottage.and the pony stopped to knock on the door, but we had no time to waste. So i went marine on it's ass and kicked it open to see a yellow pegasus.At the moment i dont give a fuck if i see a unicorn as long as it could help. However the yellow pegasus looked completely terrified when the door was kicked in and and saw me.

''Fluttershy, This animal needs your help its been bitten in the neck several times by timber wolves.'' said the orange pony

Suddenly the pegasus rose up in surprise and shock and carried 'AND I KID YOU NOT' carried anthony from my arms and into a bed.

''Bring me my first aid kit'' the yellow pegasus ordered

The orange pony went to a small closet and took out a first aid kit. She took some bandage and soaked it with the wolfs blood that had splattered on anthonys chest.

''Help me take off his stuff from his chest'' the yellow pegasus said out laud. I took off his kevlar and equipment and threw it to the side even took off two rifles who were hanging around his neck. One of those were mine, I threw the weapons to the side.

''Hold up his head for me!'' said the yellow pegasus. She wrapped the soaked bandages around Anthony's neck.

''Why are you doing that,'' Thats Contaminated.

''Don't worry hun, Trust her.'' said the southern pony with her hoof on my back as trying to comfort me.

''There, Now all we can do now is wait'' Said the yellow pegasus.

''Thank you. I cant belive Im asking this from a yellow pegasus but would you mind if i lie down for a moment?''

''Oh...I don't mind.'' said the yellow pegasus nervously

I gave a drowsy nod. I was still exhausted from today's event my Muscles were sore everywhere and I can barely stand up and carrying Anthony did not help.I went downstairs and dropped down on the couch like a stone and before I knew I was fast asleep.

***

*BONK*

I was woken up by the sound of a slammed door. I quietly rose up from the couch and looked around where I was. But then i turned to a cyan colored pony with rainbow hair who was watching me from the other side of the room.

''Um....Hello?'' I gave a small wave to the pegasus.

''Oh....You're awake'' she said with a unconvincing smile.

''Why are you spying on me?'' i asked with a lifted eyebrow

''WHAT! I'm not a spy!'' She said out loud with a guilty tone in her voice.

''I didn't say that, I said why are you spying on me.'' still keeping my expression.

''Alright then I was spying on you. I just wanted to check that you weren't dangerous''

''I'ts because i'm black isn't it?'' I said with a cheeky smile' the cyan pegasus looked at me with a confused look. ''just kidding.''

''You're friend told me what he did to those wolves,But he also did save my friends so I can let that pass. But i still don't trust you guys....You are guys right?'' she said with a blush on her face.

''I'f you want you can get a look'' I said with a even more cheekier smile. The cyan colored pegasus turned completely red from the comment.''Hahaha just kidding again, you really need to lighten up. Yes i am a guy, And you? guy or girl?'' I said with a chilled look on my face.

...........................*Awkward silence*

''What's your name?'' I asked the cyan pegasus

''I'm Rainbow Dash,Fastest flyer in all of equestria and soon to be Wonderbolt. If you want i can sign you a Autograph, I'ts gotta be such an honor to meet someone like me.''

´´This pegasus sure is full of herself i thought to myself´´

''You're James right?'' Rainbow dash asked me with a guessing look on her face.

''How the hell do you know that??'' i asked in a loud and surprised voice

''Calm down. Your friend mentioned you several times and I put two and two together to guess that you are James...and I guess I was correct.''

''Oh...Sorry for my outburst. How is anthony doing?'' I asked in a worried tone

''Don't act like such a baby, He's alright he went to town with my friends. I Overheard Tarity offer your friend a place to say. I'm surprised i didn't think she would let someone like "him" a place to stay.''

''Oh... okay then. By the way I haven't brought this up before but...How can you talk?''

''I dont know, how can you talk?'' Rainbow shurgged

''Touché. I still can't believe I'm looking at a pega.-

''Bla bla bla boring talking'' rainbow dash said interrupting me.''So, big guy do you play any sports? A big guy like you has to be pretty athletic, Do you work out? How much can you bench? Whos stronger between you and your friend? who would win in a fight?''

''Calm down, Take a deep breath and ask me one question at a time.'' I said to the energetic pegasus

'She took a deep breath and started asking'

Do you play any sports?

I play football

You mean Hoofball?

''hoof... I see what you did there' Replacing foot with hoof. Anyways yes i did, But when i signed up for the marines i stopped playing, didn't get the chance. But i was pretty good at it''

''You have to play against me one off these days, I'm unstoppable in hoofball, Anyways next question''

'Do you work out?''

''Yes. everyday to stay in shape.''

''How much can you bench, I bet you can't bench more then me 20 pounds is my record'' She said while rubbing her hoof on her chest trying to brag.

''Hahaha a 10 year old boy can do that. Anyways I can bench press 390 pounds thats my record.''

Rainbow dash's jaw fell to the ground with comic relief to it.''You're lying.'' She yelled out.''Nopony can bench that much. Not even Roidrage can bench that much.''

''Well i'm not a short adorable weak pony'' I said with a shit eating grin.

''Alright then next question'' She said with a frustrated look trying to change the topic.

''Who is stronger you or your friend`''

In lifting weights i'm always stronger than him, however in a fight I couldn't meet his agility speed and fighting moves. We regularly spar sometimes and he always manages to take me down even with me being stronger he uses it against me like its my weakness.''

''You two sound like you are cool enough to hang out with me ''Rainbow dash put on her sunglasses''.Hey do you want to work out later today? We can see if you really can bench press 390 pounds.0''

''Sure i'm up for that, But first i have to see Anthony If you help me find him we can work out together.'' I lied to the pegasus

''Cool, he is at Rarity's place. Lets see if you can keep up with me.'' Rainbow dash said with a confident look on her face

''Oh, great...'' I muttered to myself
