I had been walking for a few hours in the given direction the Pad gave. The Sun was at its peak point, and since there where barely no high standing buildings I had gotten quite a sunburn. I looked at the surrounding area carefully incase any Vaskah would pop up. I was feeling sick and angry, not too long ago I passed a pit filled with corpses, the sight really shook me but I just looked away and walked faster.
"Are we close?" I asked the pad while I folded my arms behind my back.
''Affirmative, we should be there in five minutes.''
The journey was tiring, disgusting and boring. Tripping over rocks and tree trunks, trying to catch up to the floating pad and just looking at my destroyed world didn't really make me feel any better. We were now walking through a cave, much too my delight I was out of that damn sun. I could hear the echo of water splashing down the caverns walls, which soothed me slightly. Their was slight vegetation in the cave as well, so maybe there's still life after all. I continued walking down the cavern till I saw light at the other end.
''Great, more sunshine'' I moaned as I facepalmed
''We will remain, in this cave till the sun starts too set, I recommend you rest'' The pad said, while slowly moving towards the exit.
"Sure, no problem, Ill will wait here, patiently waiting, this is only just a delay to their deaths'' I muttered under my breath
Ever since this morning, I've been anxious too getting to rip off some Vaskah heads. I've been daydreaming of stabbing them in their stomach, ripping out their organs and crushing them under my boot. I don't know why, but I just seem to enjoy thinking of that. "They had it coming" I thought too my self as I sat into a meditation position.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile in Equestria
Luna was staring at the statue of Discord in the royal garden. She was remembering the fight, She and her Sister had when attempting to seal him long before the birth of the main six. It was a day like this, sunny and cheerful that Discord decided to wreak havoc across Equestria. It was a long and exhausting battle, Luna and Celestia were nearly drained of their magic but there laid on the floor in front of them a prostrated Discord. After that the rest was clear, The summoning of the elements and the sealing of Discord.
Luna sighed then gave a weak smile before turning around and entered the castle. She roamed the castle, looking for something that might catch her interest. Being an alicorn of more than one thousand years meant you've seen mostly everything life can throw at you, for heck Luna has even explored the moon entirely during here imprisonment and doubtfully would want to explore space. But their was something she hid, something deep, so deep even the Pacific Oceans depth paled in comparison. She padded slowly too her sister's room and knocked on the door. At first there was no reply but then a voice sounded.
''You may pass'' A cheerful yet majestic voice sounded. Luna slowly opened the door and saw here sister lying on her bed.
'' Luna? What brings you here?'' She asked, while she sat up from her bed.
"Oh, its nothing Tia, just wanted too chat.'' Luna replied, while sitting next to Celestia.
''I would love too, but I think you should rest. Tonight will be long night."
"Oh? whys that?"
Celestia facehoofed at Lunas obliviousness then gave a chuckle
''Oh Luna, what am I going to do with you? Tonight is YOUR night after all''
Luna pondered for a minute before opening her eyes wide and slightly blushed in embarrassment
''Nightmare Night, Correct?''
"Indeed, and you must be well rested for the event''
Luna gave a sad sigh, she didn't like this night. It reminded her of her past doings, the evil ones. She wanted the ponies too forget it, but now it was a holiday, the memory of Nightmare Moon would live on for who knows how long. Celestia noticed the look on her little sisters face and gave her a hug.
''Oh Lunnie, Your not the same, everypony has forgiven your actions." Celestia whispered into Luna ear.
"I know Tia, I just need time'' Lunas voice croaked, as some tears rolled down her face.
''I understand, but don't let this prevent you from having fun and making friends. Now go rest, we will depart to Ponyville and meet up with Twilight around 7:00pm"
Luna nodded and walked out the door. Celestia stayed looking at the door for a while and the image of Luna crying stayed in her head. She knew that face, it was a face of guilt, she felt guilty of something. "But of what? What is she hiding?" Celestia thought as she slowly placed her head on her pillow
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back on Earth
''Chosen One, it is time'' The Pad said, while slowly floating around
Five long hours, just sitting and waiting. The Pad told me we should infiltrate during the moment of twilight, Since that's when the Vaskah change shifts leaving their defenses slightly open. I walked up to the exit, the sun was indeed starting too set as the sky exploded with tints of orange and red that wrapped around the world like blanket. The world might be destroyed but at least it still had something beautiful left in it. I slowly laid on the ground and looked at the Vaskah base at the bottom of the cliff. It looked like a royal marine base but covered in organic plant like tentacles. I opened my Nano Pack and took out some binoculars. The soldier was right, this bag really did have everything I needed to survive the aftermath of humanity's demise.
I looked through the binoculars and zoomed in to get a better look at what I was infiltrating, that's when I finally managed to see a real life Vaskah spring into sight
I've got to admit, as much as I hate these things, they look pretty badass and that just made me want to kill them more. I cracked my knuckles and slowly backed away from the edge of the cliff.
''OK, Whats the plan?'' I said, while touching my chest hoping too feel the armor.
''I've analyzed the area, theirs a sewer pipe near the western entrance that leads directly into the what I suppose is the dumpster room''
I sighed '' You don't say?''
''Once in the dumpster room'' The pad projected a hologram of the base. ''We will have to move eastward towards the experiment room, there will be plenty of hanging pipes and seeing the state of the base I doubt its well lit, we should use that too our advantage
''Wait one moment'' I snapped while raising a hand. ''What weapon am I using? I want to kill at least one of them. I remember seeing a weapon stash in the nano tent but it was empty."
''None'' the pad said seriously
I gave the best poker face at the pad, again I felt like beating this Pad into a metal pulp.
"Jesus, give me strength" my mind sighed. I started to rub my eyes, and gave a yawn.
''So you expect me too infiltrate this base filled with violent, angry Vaskah without anything to defend myself"
"We do not need to make a commotion, this will be a simple hit and run" The pad said firmly
"So what exactly are we looking for?''
''Your truth''
My eyes widened, "Finally! After so long I can bloody get some damn answers''. Now I was really determined to get in the base.
''How should we proceed?'' I asked, back again in a dark voice. I felt something burn inside, it was like a tornado ready to wreak havoc.
''I think you should slide down the cliff and tiptoe towards the sewer pipe''
''Thats it?!"
''Yes, unless you want to charge in and set off the alarms''
''Well at least that's more fun''
I gave demented chuckle and proceeded to slide down the cliff carefully.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back in Equestria
"The carriage is ready for you, your majesty"
"Thank you, Shining Armor, I do hope you enjoy the festivities, a guard should have some fun once in a while. '' Celestia giggled.
She and Luna we're well rested and ready for a long night ahead. Luna as always raised the moon while Celestia lowered the sun. The moonlight poured over Equestria bathing it in a glowing embrace. Luna was feeling a lot better now, and gave a wide grin when she once again saw the beauty of her moon.
"I will take that in note, your majesty'' Shining Armor said, as he stepped onto his carriage. Being the captain of the guards meant having great responsibilities, and after the changeling attack during his wedding he made sure to expect the unexpected. Though his face showed otherwise, inside Shining Armor was happy he was going to see his dear sister Twilight again. They were greats friend and never had any conflicts between each other, he was always there for her and always will be.
"Onwards, to the festival!" Luna yelled as the many carriages flew into the air, off towards the flicking lights of Ponyville.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back on Earth
"Pheew, that was close" I said while wiping some sweat off my head. I was crouched besides the sewer pipe on the western side of the Vaskah base. After I slid down the cliff side, I had to duck behind rocks to prevent being seen. I swear those Vaskah have a sixth sense, they just knew where to look. After a while, I just had to tiptoe between some tree trunks and always keep my head low. The Pad was right, I wouldn't make it this far if it was broad daylight.
I gave a sniff and had to pinch my nose and keep my head tilted up to prevent vomiting.
''God dammit, this stench, what were you thinking Pad'' I grunted
The Pad just floated their not responding probably thinking "What do you expect from a sewer pipe moron"
I gave a deep sigh, and crawled into the pipe. "First they kill my species, now they force me to crawl through this shit hole, just wait till I get my hands on them" my mind raged. My anger was burning up again, as well as the fire sensation deep down inside I was feeling earlier. I continued crawling forward for what seemed forever till I finally saw some light, I was never so happy in my life..not. The light poured into the pipe through the hole of the manhole. I slowly pushed it up from underneath, and gave a small peep. I could see the base was indeed pretty dark, and I noticed some type of fungi growing off the wall slowing wrapping itself around anything that came into reach.
"The place seems clear" I whispered to the Pad
"Affirmative, let us proceed"
I pushed the manhole completely off and got out, then placed the manhole back to it position. I gave another look at the Pads holographic map to determine where I was. It seemed the experiment room was just three corridors away, so it didn't look tough. I slowly walked towards the door and slightly pushed it. It gave a low screeching sound which froze me on the spot, as I tried to listen too any approaching footsteps. After I was sure no one heard the noise, I slid out between the door and crouched walked down the dark corridor. I could hear water gushing out of a broken pipe, so I guessed that's why no one heard the door. After making it down the first corridor, I turned left to go down the next.
''So far, so good.'' I muttered. If I was the weak fool I was before I would be peeing myself,but I'm not, this feeling of trespassing in hostile territory made me feel.....goooood. I crouched walk for a while till I heard something in front of me, it sounded like..footsteps! "Think think, where to hide" my mind raced thinking of what to do, then it came too me. Since the corridor was pretty narrow, I quickly jumped up and split my legs on both walls. Just in time I saw two Vaskah guards mooch right under me.
I gave a grin and sighed. "Thank God, I worked out." I thought, as I slowly descended back to ground level and continued my travel. The next corridor was lit, so I had to do this quick, I combat rolled my way forward too cover as much ground as quick as possible.
''The Experiment room is the first door on the right'' the pad whispered
I gave a nod, and slowly tiptoed to the door. I looked through the doors rectangular window to see if there's was anything inside. Once satisfied, I carefully pushed the door and closed it behind me while setting the lock. The lab was destroyed, pieces of ripped paper all over the floor, puddles of water and tables snapped in two. I thought what I was going to find in a dumpster like this, till my eye caught a computer still on and working?
''Quickly Chosen one, we don't have much time before the Vaskah notice your here" the pad quavered? I for one don't know why an AI is feeling scared, but I gave a determined nod and walked up to the PC. I sat down on what was a sorry excuse of a chair and touched the screen of the monitor, it flicked into life and I was staring at what seemed to be a document filled with video logs under the name "Experiment 47". "Thats me? Wasnt that what the Pad called me?'' I felt my heart pump, as I slowly touched the first video data. It opened and there I was looking at a slightly brown man in a lab coat, his hair was short and he had a stubby nose,. He was giving a sympathetic look at me, I mean the camera.
Log: 420, Year: 2640
"My name is Doctor Melenski, scientist of the United Subspace Extractor facility, great great nephew of Doctor Dellinski, head scientist of Project Moonlight . I'm going to tell you the truth, Charles".
My eyes widened a bit when I noticed this was it, I was finally going to learn about myself.
"380 years ago, a mysterious dark blue alien equine, arrived on our planet.
The equine was apparently mortally injured and went under heavy care under government supervision,
It was hidden from public eyes too prevent panic. While handling this foreign species, we learned it was a sentient being
and possessed supernatural abilities like ''telekinesis''. A few weeks after the equine stabilized we came under an agreement to do a project nicknamed Project Moonlight."
I was now looking at what seemed to be a dark blue....horse. A....horse with a horn and a pair of....wings. WTF
''We extracted some blood from the equine and injected them into five newborn babies.
All except one died, The equine blood accepted this human as its host. The baby went under heavy observation,
It seemed its ageing slowed extremely , only aging once every twenty years".
"Uh, oh....I see where this going" I thought. I didn't realize but my fists were clenched extremely tight. The Pad was floating behind me, but not getting close to me either. The Doctor continued.
''We found it! All these years and we found the key to immortality, and we became determined too use this equine too our advantage. We locked it up for further use, but somehow the blue being escaped, where too? we don't know. Once the baby had conscious of its surrounding, we would let it get adopted by a family."
I was speechless, I never .....never in my life..I would expect to be. I couldn't find the words, so I just went and opened the next log.
Log: 421,Year 2900
"Another alien crash landed on our planet. It had organic armor, and was extremely violent unlike the blue equine. It could also merge with nature like a chameleon and it was very speedy. We apprehended it and locked it up, it was far too dangerous"
"This wont end well" I muttered, still hands clenched tightly
"The Vaskah escaped its cell and went on a rampage killing more than 50 civilians . It continued rampaging till it ended up in Experiments 47's home, what happened afterwords is hard to explain.
The Vaskah entered the house and eradicated the family ,
Experiment 47 witnessed the massacre that was happening in front of him, then it turned too him.
"W-wait, I had another family?'' I stammered, as tears formed. I might as well hate the world but seeing my past family getting slaughtered in front of me again in a video tends to do a number on you.
"Terrified with this new alien, slowly approaching it with only one thing on its mind, kill. This fear and hatred of the Vaskah activated some type of chain reaction in Experiment 47 alien blood cells.
In an instant the Vaskah being was crushed, literally crushed like stepping on a tin can. Too my calculations, Experiment 47 contained telekinesis powers as well due to the mutation inside him caused by the Equines blood. Little did we know a Vaskah spy ship was observing the event from orbit " The Doctor continued explaining sternly.
I gulped, cause I knew a shitstorm was going to happen.
"Experiment 47 went under some minor mind wipes too prevent him from losing his sanity, but since these were minor, any catalyst could bring back the memories, so we had to transfer him to the United kingdom from Jamaica ."
I looked to the ground, I didn't know what too feel, that was the scary bit, I just didn't know what I was feeling, I was empty of all emotion. I placed both palm of my hands into my face and just rested their for a while. After I felt strong again, I lifted my head, and touched the next log.
Log: 450, Year 2950:
"Years passed and his memory would return, we grew worried of experiment 47 conditions if he learned the truth".
I quickly pressed the next log, I just wanted this to end
Log: 480 ,Year 3000:
"We did a complete mind wipe on Experiment 47, returning his brain back too one of a newborn, but his mind unlike his body would grow like any human being. His body was of an 18 year old, mind of a new born, and an age of 360."
Tears ran down my cheeks like no tomorrow. My life.. has been a lie? I'm 360 years old!? I was just a guinea pig for some selfish bastards, I didn't have a family or friends, they were just lies, tricks, treachery! Does that mean, J-Jessie was a lie as well!!? my mind cried out. Unconsciously I tapped the next log.
Log 500, Year 3015:
"We encountered an enormous Vaskah armada, in deep space slowly moving towards Earth. We sent our whole force to intercept and destroy this incoming force, but we were outnumbered and outgunned 500 too 1. They were ruthless and merciless, their weapons and ships were more advanced.''
The Doctor gave a deep sigh and looked away from the screen for a moment before returning his gaze back at me
"The war lasted 4 years, and we knew our planet was lost, but not the human species. We still had experiment 47, the Vaskahs apparent weakness. We prepared for the day of reckoning, this ended up with the creation of the N.T.A designed from the mixture of Vaskah technology and human technology."
I hesitated at first, but I got the strength to touch the last log. What I saw next was a bloodied doctor, he had multiple gun wounds over his chest and a huge scar on his face
Log: 510, Year 3020:
"It...s ready....the Vaskah...are h-here they, damn...they shot me. T-they want too erradicate....Experiment...47. We....learned...that ...theres a mother pc..that controls all the Vaskah. We sent..over..20. ships on a suicide mission to see ...the Vaskahs home planet and...find any...weak points...., The soldiers....made it as far ...as the hangar bays....theirs a ...door of some sort....preventing anything from entering.....but there ...were 7...holes on this door...each shaped..Keys...they were keyholes... and ..above..each...keyhole were designs". Melenski groaned and grunted under his pain.
The Doctors life was slowly fading, yet he tried to muster as much strength to give me his final warning.
An apple,... a butterfly, a cloud... with lightning, a b-balloon, a diamond, A st-ar and a d-dove. We....think...the ...blue ...equine....might...know....what....it...means. We knew it ....warped..back...to ...its planet......we....left...a...tracking..chip ..in..its neck before it...she..e-e-escaped..and got...the coördinates. Experiment 47 If you're....seeing t-this...I made....a..planetary l...warp thruster....made...solely for...the N.T.A. Its....in ...a...cloaked...chest...you must...dest.roy..the...brain...or...the..Vaskah...will..dominate...the..g-g-galaxy....the...key...word..is...harmo..zzzbzzbzt''
and like that the log ended. I was still void of any emotions. I just stood up and looked at the pad with emotionless eyes, not anger, not sadness, just blank.
''Locate the chest'' I said
The pad complied and started scanning the room for a hidden chest. I took a short while, but the pad never disappoints. It found the chest and hacked it to disable its camouflage. It was a medium sized chest, just like the ones you see in pirate movies, brown with some gold designs along the side. Only that it had a voice recognition program, I gave it a scan before it spoke.
''Password?'' The chest spoke in a monotone voice
I pondered, trying too think of the word. Harmon? Harmonica?...Harmonize? Uh...Harmony?
''Harmony'' I said
''Password correct'' The Chest replied, there was a click and it opened. I lifted the top bit and saw what looked like metallic silver boots with two small spikes coming out the sides of both of them. I quickly took off my ugly Adidas sneakers and putted on the boots. Just like with the N.T.A armor I felt a slight burn as the Negels were messing around with the nerves in my feet.
''Ok, So we have to see this Dark Blue Horse thingy correct?'' I asked the pad, who was still basically scanning the room, before it turned around and spoke.
''Yes, with those warp thrusters you can warp too any planet as long as you have the coördinates, which in case you ask I have''. The pad said mockingly.
''Always one step ahead, I see''
''Ive been programmed to be as helpful as possible to you''
''You better'' I grunted. I stood up and started to jog on the spot, just to get a nice feel of my new boots.
''Not too shabby, I guess." I gave a small evil grin and walked towards the door. Suddenly the door was broken down with an incredible force, and two Vaskah guards came marching in. They spotted me and without hesitation opened fire, I dove behind a table lightning quick, as lasers flew everywhere melting anything it touched. I knew I would be dead if I didn't do something quick. "Think, Think. I got no weapons, a trollpad and....MY N.T.A! I closed my eyes hoping that the Negels would realize I was in danger and they did. I felt the armor slowly appearing and form around my body, this time there was no sting and it was swift. The armor wrapped around my body like a Venus fly trap to a dragonfly, next thing I knew I was looking through my armors helmet as small holographic screens appeared in my visor.
I looked at my now protected metal hands and clenched them. "Sweeeet, let's have some fun'' I thought deviously.
The Vaskahs were still shooting the room randomly trying too hit anything the lasers could hit, but they couldn't seem too hit the metallic table I was covered behind. I got on one knee , grabbed the table from underneath and tossed it at the Vaskah guards with an incredible force. The guards never stood a chance, things cracked, it wasn't the table. I quickly ran to the unconscious Vaskah guards and removed both of their weapons. "Bout time" I thought as another evil smile plastered across my face.
I heard a buzzing alarm as the corridors started to fill up with bright red lights.
" Chosen one, we must depart at once, this place will be swarmed in a matter of minutes" The Pad said
I gave a nod and ran back to the manhole I came in, but I could hear footsteps coming from that direction. So I gave a quick spin on the ground and ran down the other direction, the Vaskahs must have heard me cause I could hear them running now. I bolted down the corridors, turning left, going right, looking for an exit.
"Hey Pad, why don't you GIVE ME SOME DAMN DIRECTIONS'' I shouted.
''Theres only one exit, it's just in front of us" the Pad said in a worried tone
''You don't sound pleased by that'' I looked at the pad, while raising an eyebrow.
''W-well, its because...its the front exit''
I gave a big gulp. The front exit is obviously were all the main defense would be, but nevertheless I was determined to get off this planet alive and make the blue horse suffer. I continued dashing down the hallways until I passed a mirror, I instantly stopped and bolted back to get a look of myself. My jaws dropped with what I saw.
"Holy Shit in a microwave in a taco in a bagel'' I rambled
''*Ahem*, chosen one, you have time to admire the armor once we get off the planet'' The pad said slightly annoyed at its masters obliviousness of the current situation.
''Oh Shut the hell up" I spat
Once satisfied with my appearance, I continued my dash towards the exit door. It was getting closer and closer, and I could still see some sunlight piercing through the cracks. "Here, we go"my mind raced I gave a high jump kick on the door, with more force than I expected. I ripped the door off its hinges and was now surfing on it down the stairs. All the Vaskah guards at the front turned stunned to the unexpected blast and opened fire, before I knew it I was seeing a tidal wave of green lasers heading my direction. "Shit, shit, shit" was all what I could say in my head as I shifted my weight on one side of the door to steer. The lasers grazed my shoulders as I continued surfing down the stairs, more lasers were incoming but this time I was prepared, I jumped off the door, took one of my laser guns out from my nano pack and locked on to the Vaskah guards.
*Pew* *Pew* *Pew* *Pew*
*Thump* *Thump* *Thump* *Thump*
The Vaskah guards fell like rain. I landed on the floor with a big thud and gave a grin. I stood up and started cackling for a good well minute.
" HAHAHAHA, THATS WHAT YOU GET FOR MESSING WITH ME" I bellowed
The fire inside grew more and more, it wanted more bloodshed, it wanted more death. I could feel myself getting consumed by its warm embrace, but a voice knocked me out of it.
"Chosen one, what are you waiting for, the entrance is clear we must escape, I scanned a massive Vaskah airforce heading this way!" the Pad snapped
"R-Right'' I gave a quick nod and started running. "What is this feeling I;m having? It feels welcoming''
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ponyville
"SPIKE, HURRY UP AND GET DOWN HERE'' Twilight yelled from downstairs.
Spike gave a deep sigh as he ran around his room cleaning up a mess Twilight always leave. Always when the princesses visit Twilight would lose a few bolts in her head, tonight was no different.
"Alright, alright coming" He grunted as he waddled down the stair. Spike was dressed as a phoenix this year, in honor of his beloved pet Peewee. Rarity as always made most of the outfits for most of the ponies and *ahem* dragons, this was good business for her so she couldn't complain. The costume was pretty small even for Spike, but Spike would throw himself off a cliff for Rarity so he never thought of complaining.
Down in the living room were all his closest friends and crush, dressed magnificently except for one.
Twilight was dressed again as Metal gear Twilight, Pinkie pie was dressed up as a puppy, Rarity as a Witch, Applejack was dressed up as skeleton pony, Rainbow dash was dressed up as robin hood and Fluttershy was..a...bush.
"I must say darling, you look absolutely DASHING, in that outfit" Rarity said happily. This caused Spike to blush furiously through his scales and made all the mares giggle.
"You know Spike, if you stay that color it would look good with your outfit" Rainbow dash mocked only to end up laughing louder with Pinkie on the floor crying of laughter. Applejack stomped her hoof on the ground trying to bring some order to the group.
"Now yah girls stop tising poor old Spike" She said with a frown on her face.
"Yes, my little Spikey Wikey is perfect just the way he is'' Rarity said firmly.
Rainbow Dash and Pinkie saw the two mares glaring at them and stopped laughing.
"Aww you two are boring adoring" Pinkie pouted. Then she started giggling again " Hey that rhymes! Boring, Touring, Adoring, coring, goring, mooring, ignoring, pouring, snoring, storing, scoring" She continued rambling in the background, while Rainbow Dash started cackling again and Applejack facehoofed.
All of them were suddenly levitated off the ground by a purple aura and placed carefully on the chairs and sofa.
"Ok girls, I need you all too BE-HAVE, the princesses will be here soon and I want them to see how well educated we are'' Twilight said with stars glistening in her eyes
Rainbow Dash gave a snort, rolled on her back and snored. Twilight gave a sigh when a sudden knock came from the door. She approached the door and opened it, and was shocked too see Princess Celestia and Luna standing there both with warm smiles on their faces.
"P-P-PRINCESS" Twilight stuttered as she quickly bowed down. The other girls followed suit and bowed, Luna and Celestia started giggling.
"Twilight and Friends thou do not hath to bow before us'' Luna said in a deep tone. She was still struggling with her royal canterlot voice, but she was trying.
"Twilight, My pupil, shall we proceed to the festivities?'' Celestia asked
"Y-yes, princess" Twilight replied still shaking a bit. She has known the princess since she was a foal yet she still was nervous in her presence.
The six mares and dragon all trotted (and waddled) out of the library and headed out towards the bright lights at the center of town. Rainbow and Pinkie were up in front, chatting and giggling about who they were going to scare tonight. Applejack was talking with the princesses about how this year the apples are more delicious than ever. Rarity was flipping her hair while she swaggered, obviously proud of her beauty and marvelous costume. Fluttershy was somewhere, I mean she is a bush after all . Spike was sitting on Twilight's back, as always.
Twilight sighed sadly and looked at the floor while she started to walk at an amble pace. Spike noticed Twilights change in speed and frowned.
"Whats wrong Twi?"
"Oh its nothing Spike''
"It's about Shining Armor right?'' Spike said while crossing his arms.
"How did you know?"
"You always get like this, on this exact night, every year"
"Well since I was a foal, I would always celebrate it with him, even if it meant staying in the library'' She blushed in embarrassment
''So who's that Stallion over there?" Spike pointed too a white stallion with a shield on his flank
Twilight looked up and saw Shining Armor in between two guards saluting the Princesses. Her eyes immediately lit up and she darted towards him, knocking Spike off her back. Spike landed on his back with a large thud and groaned.
''BBBFF" She squealed as she continued running forward.
Shining Armor saw his little sister advance towards him and opened up his forelegs. Twilight ran into his hug and they both stayed in a lovely embrace . She then pushed him away and playfully punched him in the shoulder.
"Haha, what was that for Twili?" He snickered
"For not telling me you were coming" Twilight said pouting
" We call that a surprise" He continued snickering. Oh how he loved messing with his sister, he could never imagine a day without messing around with her. Though he worked hard with the guards, Shining always got a moment too secretly send Twilight messages.
"Well, let's go enjoy the festivities!'' She gleefully said while hopping around her brother. He gave a nod and they both trotted to the party.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back on Earth
I've been running for what seems hours, the moon finally rose and provided me with the only light source available. In the N.T.A , I can run three times as fast but still those damn Vaskah don't give up. I looked behind my shoulder and gulped, I saw the sky fill up with so many little green blots that one would think the world was ending...wait..it already did, well it can end twice can it not?
"Um....Pad''
''Yes? Chosen one?"
"A-Are t-those?''
''Affirmative, you got 300 tactical nukes incoming''
''Ahhhh shit"
