Cast Away

June 23, 2068

I opened my eyes to the darkness of the home I was occupying. Before even thinking of getting up, I took a deep breath to fill my lungs, and let it out. That made me more drowsy, but Salatsin's meeting on "How to conquer America" was coming up. I wouldn't want to miss that.

Let me introduce myself. I am Logan Jacobson. I am 15 years old, and I am a warrior for myself. In other words, I'm a lone wolf. before 2066 came, I was that person no one would think as a gun master. I was the school nerd. I always got straight A's. But when it was declared that Japan started war against England, England pulled Afganistan in. Big mistake. Afgan started stealing blue prints for Japan's mass destruction weapons. They made them, destroyed the East side of the world, Mexico, and South America. What was left was North America.

I started stealing things from my local stores, being wanted by most managers, stuff like that. I stole a 9x19 mm Walther P99, a rifle, and some ammo. It's all I needed to protect myself from the Afgan.

Back to me. I slowly stretched my arms and legs to get the feeling back in them. I slid out of bed and onto my feet. I rub my eyes and put on my glasses. I put my handgun in my back pocket, and my rifle in my own hand. I looked out the window next to me for enemies (Lets just say I'm in enemy lines). I saw one guarding the entrance to the meeting. "You HAVE to be there", says the poster for the meeting. Oh, I forgot to tell you. The Afgans took the Mexican's and the South American's hostage, making them go to this meeting.

I slowly opened the window, the guard not noticing me, I aimed at his head and I shot him. In between his eyes. The wet grass from the rain last night started changing into red, from the man's blood. It started pooling around his body. I climbed out the window and grabbed the guys collar. I opened one of his eye lids to see his pupil. I didn't.

"Dead" I whispered to myself. I let him lay there. I started thinking to myself about a place to take a shot at Salatsin. I looked at the sky. The sun was shinning like the days I was a kid, with no worries, just running around with friends playing video games, wanting to go to Orlando, Florida. I wish those day's would come back. I never wanted life to turn out like a battlefield. I tried to remember to one day when I was 10, in 2063, I had a very good friend. I would play basketball with him, he would always beat me. Then we went to his backyard and played like we were in the distant future, with lazer gun. Those days I would never forget.

But I had to get back to my job. To save America from certain defeat. walked over to the left side of the stadium of which Salatsin would be speaking. There was a hill about a 100 feet from my position, and I decided to go and shot from there. But then I found out guards were all around the stadium.

"This is going to be harder than I thought," I said. I thought to myself, how can I take these guys down? Then I got the idea. I had to kill them when there weight is more on the downhill side, not the stadium side. It would take patience, but It would all lead up to Afgan's fall.

But it turned out very easy. The guards were mediocre. All they happened to do was walk around in circles, and I'm pretty sure two guards were flirting...

I shot them all quickly, which led to my clip being empty. I reloaded and, in a fast crouching run, ran out to the best spot I could see the stage. Then I started hearing the Afgan's talk. I didn't under stand them, but it looked like the Mexican's and the South American's did. Soon, after one of the people on the stage stopped talking, everyone clapped. I figured Salatsin would come out. He didn't. It looked like they recruited some people.

Then they introduced the Lieutenants, Generals, Soldiers, Craft Carriers. And this took about an hour, because they (I was pretty sure) were naming all of them. I got the urge to fall asleep, but that would just lead in death.

Then finally, i noticed one word. "Salatsin!" Everyone in the stadium cheered as Captain Salatsin stepped out from behind the curtain.

"Hello, and Goodbye Salatsi-" Is all I could say before I felt something starting pulling me back.

"What The Fuck?" I said as I looked behind myself. The last thing I would guess to see today, and a swirling portal, leading some place, keeping me from killing Salatsin. Soon after countless times off trying to take a steady shot of him, the portal got stronger. Stronger and stronger until it got to strong for me. I dropped my rifle in order to dig my hands and feet to stop myself.

But my strength soon went away as I was dragged into the portal. My legs started floating, and only my hands could help me, but then my fingers slipped through the rough ground, dirt went up, then down as I started going in the swirl.

I couldn't help but to relax, the portal was silent. No cheering, no worries... Except the fact that America is doomed...

I looked around. I felt like an ant, because the portal was that big around me. I felt a wet sensation.. Like swimming.

"Maybe..." I said. I reached out slowly to feel the swirl of the portal. It was wet, yes, but gave me a shock. I felt like screaming, but I didn't. I grabbed my handgun. Good. I didn't want to go someplace I didn't want to be with out something to defend myself with. My hand, now red, felt like it molded around the gun. They feel like home now.

Seconds later, I felt a different atmosphere. I looked behind myself in horror. I was going to be falling from the clouds. I soon fell out of the portal, it was now disappearing. I didn't want to but I yelled. "OHHHHHH SHIT!"

Do you know what it feels like to go down on a ride, that weird feeling in your stomach likes its about to explode? That's exactly how I felt. I looked down. I was going to fall into a forest.

"This is going to hurt!" I yelled. I fell through the trees, which gave me numerous cuts, and (Thank the Lord) I fell into a lake. My back felt extreme pain as I stupidly tried to scream in the water I hit the bottom of the lake softly. I didn't want to swim up. But I felt something pull me up. I could sense what it was, but my guess was a human.

He/She/It soon swam me to the top. "WHAT THE HAY?!?!" It screamed. He/She/It sounded female. But She dropped me back in the water. I climbed back out angry. "You seriously save me To-" I stop dead in my tracks to see a fucking. pegasus. It was blue, and had rainbow colored hair.

"I.. Uh.. Am going to leave now.." I said. I tried to run but the thing got me first. "UGH! LET ME GO!"

"No way! Twilight did some spell and she knew it was you she brought. Your coming to Ponyville!"

I didn't understand anything she said, but I just said, "You suck."

* * * * * * * *
Soon enough, after getting odd stares, I found that the pegasus carrying me was named Rainbow Dash. The bottom half off my body was dragging against the ground as we came up to a home inside of a tree. I guessed this was Rainbow Dash's home, so I yelled, "REBELLION!" and kicked the door. It cracked a little.

"Seriously? This isn't even my house!" Rainbow screamed. Opps. "Ugh.." she moaned. "Twilight!" Rainbow yelled. "The thing you summoned is here!" The door opened to five others. Two of which were horses, one pegasus, and two unicorns, and one was staring at me.

"Good" said the purple unicorn. "As you can see, I summoned you from your world."
"Yep" I said, annoyed.
"And I see by your appearance, your a human!"
"Amazing!"
Twilight sighed. She was probably as annoyed as I am. "Well Let us introduce ourselves. I am Twilight Sparkle."
Then the next one who spoke was a white horse. Her hair was everywhere... It was weird. Believe me.
"I am Rarity! I am an expert at designing!" Rarity seemed very enthusiastic about this.
Then so on and so on until I heard all of there names. They were very... creative. Pinkie Pie. VERY creative.
"So whats your name?" asked Twilight. After getting some creepy smiles from all of them except Rainbow, I answered.

"Logan..." After I said that, I heard Rainbow snigger at my name. So I elbowed her in the chest.

"Hey! What was that for?" She asked, couching. "Laughing at my name. You have no idea about how much millions of people would laugh at your name right now." I said.

After that Rainbow was completely silent. I sighed. "Sorry. I have a little bit of a problem back were I live, and you horses-"
"Ponies!" Applejack corrected. "We're Ponies!"

I went back to correct my sentence. "and your ponies have kinda kept me away from it."

"What was it that we took you away from? Because we really didn't mean to... we're sorry... What did we take you away from? Your family? Your friends? Your-"

I cut off Fluttershy. I felt kinda crappy for it, but it had to be done. "World, for one. For two, I was just about to assassinate someone very vital in my mission"

After that they all looked at me like I were crazy. "What? Afgan has gotten too much power! I need to stop them from destroying my world! Its how things go!"

Twilight soon spoke up, but in a very scared voice. "Are.. Are you an assassin?"

"Kinda" I said nodding. I got dropped to the floor by Rainbow Dash, who's jaw dropped down. I sighed and said, "I'm not here to kill." Fluttershy let out the biggest sigh in the world, like she was holding it since I got here.

"The world is in World War III, you can say. Afganistan has risen up from the bottom and started destroying every continent in its path. I trained myself to become an assassin to kill every last person who tried to destroy America."

"Okay..." Twilight added, obviously wanting more information. Being the only pony to speak, (the others were still looking at me with weird faces) she said, "What would you use to..." her eyelid twitched. "k..kill with?"

"Yeah, my rifle is still over there and-" That's when I remembered. I had my handgun.

I grabbed my gun and showed it to her. "This is my Walther P99. It's not very long range, but its efficient." I looked around. "Can I use something for a target?" I could tell Twilight was getting a little worried. "Ummm... M..Maybe my desk?"

With the magic from her horn, she set the desk up so the desk part was facing me. "Is that fine?"

"Yes." I answered. "I would cover your ears if I were any of you." I didn't want get innocent ponies ears busted. As much as I want to bust open Dash.

"Why?" said Rarity. I can tell she wasn't trying to get on my nerves. "Because its loud" I said. Finally, I shot. Like I said, the gun was loud. Fluttershy made this odd noise that would make anyone say, "Thats So Cute!" What was really funny, Rainbow Dash thought she tough. She didn't cover her ears.

"WOAH!" Screamed Rainbow. "THAT'S LOUD!" like I said...

*************
After I shot my P99, Twilight just asked me some questions about basic life at my dimension. She was soon able enough to sit by me without shaking her whole body...

But soon enough, they all left, (Not Twilight, This is her home) and Rarity.. had a weird walk out the door. do ya think she.. Nah! what pony loves a human? It wouldn't work out!

"Its getting pretty dark. We should go to bed, maybe?"
"Sure" I said. Twilight led me upstairs to a slightly small room, with a big bed, (for Twilight) a bookshelf, (Theres About a thousand downstairs) and a bed built for a bird and its family.

I just stared down at it. "Am I going to sleep in this?"

Twilight just laughed. "No, of course not! There's a small bed over there!" I looked at were she was pointing. She was right. But the thing I really hated, was the covers. Princess Celestia! I could say anything.

Soon Twilight found out. "Oh, the covers. Sorry." she said.

I managed to do two things at the same time. Fit in the bed, and make myself look like an idiot.

"Good night" Twilight said.
"Night" I responded.
