The Conversion Bureau: Ten Lives

by mau5!

Ten to Six

Ten men were scattered around the old compound, either against a open window, hidden inside, or looking out for the war machine, on top of the building, waiting for them to come. Outside of the grey compound was a dense forest, filled with birds cawing into the mild wind. Beside the fact that the E.T.A, Equestrian Transformation Army, was coming to turn them into their own kind, the men were quite subtle. There was Bolt, who was calmly munching on a cigar in a desolate corner of the room, which smelt of rotten wood, although it was made only a few months ago. Mink and Monech just played cards in the corner, while Alphex strolled around on the top of the compound, humming.

"When will they attack?" Mink questioned, but still looking down at his unlucky choice of cards, grunting.

"Sparta called in a hour ago, saying they were under attack and all, but since we've got the missile launch remote, I think they'll be searching around the forest, so the four legged fucks should be on our doorstep in a hour or two." Monech replied, his eyes scanning the exterior of the compound, as they were positioned beside a window, then looking back at his cards.

The band of men were given a remote, that could change the tide of this horrifying war, if the clouds were clear and there were no air traffic, they could launch it at Canterlot. Maybe not ending the war, but certainly leaving a scar from humanity. They hoped and prayed, but there were too many pegasi flying about to be able to fire the warhead. Mink was about to fold, when he heard a noise from his compact radio.

"Alphex, is that you?" I said, standing up, the only time you were contacted on the radio is if it was important,.

"Yeah, Mink there is a lot of pegasi scanning the area here! It's only a matter of, FUCK!," BANG! The sound of a round hitting the floor and a 50. Cal, ear hurting noise went off. "Sorry! They got too close, I'm coming back down!"

"Man your stations, men! This is it!" Monech ordered to the other six men.

They got to their positions, most now being beside an open window. They took as much ammo as they needed from the crates delivered from Recon Outpost, and went through the drill that had been "drilled" into their heads. If they were ever under attack: kick over anything, as the ponifaction serum can't penetrate anything. Footsteps were heard, and Alphex entered the room.

"Mink, I've got the the remote, Hoek and I will hide at the back, if we want a chance at launching the missile and destroying Canterlot." Alphex said, panting as he'd been running with a Barrett 50.cal. Mink nodded and Alphex turned, and called for Hoek before running off.

Mink looked outside the window, the pegasi had disappeared from their location, but they had been notified as offenders, and would be back with a much larger force.

*Ten Minutes Later*

Subtle and ShadowFlash were beside each other, looking out a window into the sky. ShadowFlash decided to converse.

"So, Subtle, do you think we might pull through this? You know, like last time, but this looks as if it's going to be much bigger." ShadowFlash asked, he was usually a talkative kid, and liked to talk his worries anyway. They all liked his personality.

"Let me leave you with a phrase, "After two world wars, the collapse of fascism, Nazism, communism, colonialism, and the end of the cold war, humanity has entered a new phase of its history." Subtle replied. ShadowFlash turned to face him.

"Cool, but I know a so much cooler quote, ‘If it's hostile, you kill it.’ oh yeah, I also kn-."

ZING! A ball sparkling goo went flying through the air and slapped against ShadowFlash's face. They were now under attack. Above him, he could hear the sound of the bullets zooming into the night sky. Subtle turned to face the now half pony half human, he mumbled a prayer, raised his M4A1, and capped Shadow in his muzzle.

Nine Lives.

Wolf and Wisp drew their rifles at the earth ponies that were sprinting like a Cheetah, racing it's meal. Wisp was usually a good shot, as he found it easy to down the Unicorns advancing to their compound, flinging their serum goo at the building, but Wolf just sprayed his AK-74 at anything that had four legs. Wolf looked up into the sky to see something darting towards him. Manually, Wolf blazed his rifle at the Pegasus advancing towards him and a bullet clipped its wing; it spiraled down into the earth.

Wolf sighed with relief and looked down to see a blur rushing towards him, he tried to raise his weapon but it was too late. In a flash, a yellow pony was on top of him, and since the earth ponies were armed with stun buzzers strapped on their hooves, his legs jolted, he quickly realized fate had caught up with him. He'd been stunned, but not that bad. His legs were disabled, for the moment. Luckily, his arms still had their nerve in them.

"But we just want to be your friend!" The bright yellow said with a smirk plastered on his face.

He thought about pulling the M67 grenade out of his pouch, but blood sprayed over his face, and he felt something grabbed his shirt. He looked up to see a lifeless pony corpse as he was being pulled away. It was Wisp.

"Thank God, FUCK, my legs!" He whelped in pain, he quickly reacted as he pulled out his pistol from his holster, looking for any earth ponies trying to get in.

Wisp dragged him into an nearly empty room. Wolf tried to stand, he staggered, but got himself up after a minute of whining in pain. Wisp had closed the door, and leaned against the open window, were he was picking off any of the E.T.A. Wolf looked around for a spare rifle. After searching around, he found a pile of miscellaneous stuff, and from it he heaved out a plastic shotgun. He thought a kid left in behind, but on the side it had AA12 Fully Auto Shotgun. Surprised but concerned, he took out the drum and inside it had live rounds.

"Wisp, look what I found!" Wisp didn't turn around, but he did when he heard the door get smacked down and saw three earth ponies, a unicorn, and a newly turned Pegasus on the ground.

Eight Lives

"I feel SO much better! Please Wisp! Join us!" The Pegasus said. The earth ponies were now holding Wisp down with force, and the Unicorn was walking up to him.

"Let go!" He screamed, but hung his head in dismay when the Unicorn had a glob of serum dripping from her hoof. Suddenly, a soothing voice sounded.

"Shhh, It'll be better on the other side, okay?" The Unicorn spoke.

"Fuck off you piece of shit!"

All went silent as the Unicorn smeared the goo over his arm.

Seven Lives.

Although there was a puddle of goo and a corpse in front of him, Subtle stayed in his position. It was hard, as there were two windows, one were ShadowFlash should be, but Subtle managed as most of the ponies didn't notice him. Picking off a few ponies, he saw outside, a golden carriage pulled up some meters away from the goo covered compound. "Shit..." He mutters, as he backs away from one of the windows, as his back faces the other window. Subtle drew out his radio.

"Mink, the Princesses are here!" He shouted.

"Aww shit, yeah I see em', sit tight and give em' hell!" The radio buzzed as he puts it back in his pouch, but something grabs his shoulder and pulls him out of the open window. He screams with mercy, but he is cut off as he is kicked in the ribs by an earth pony. The pony hollers, and as Subtle looks up, groaning in pain, he sees a Pegasus come straight down and forcefully grabs one of his arms.

The Pegasus starts beating her wings and slowly she takes off with the hopeless human still in her grasp. Subtle is constantly screaming as she goes higher, his grip on the Pegasus loosens, he loses his grip and while screaming, he falls to his death.

Six lives.

never got around to reading ten rounds. guess i dont have a choice now.

I say kill em all! show those equestrian bastards why were the dominant species AND top of the food chain.

[Carpinus Caroliniana]

This story reminds me of Ten Rounds. Unfortunately, it strikes me as reskinned Ten Rounds.

Props for doing a Human resistance story!

[That_one_guy]

So little context. I have no idea what's happening to these people and I have little reason to care. It's not poorly written, but there's just no meat on these bones. I say kill all the fucking apes, they don't belong in a pastel paradise free of war. I don't see any reason to root for the humans otherwise.

[Brimstonne]

776915 Hey buddy, you trying to be a jackwagon, or are you trolling. Now, would you want to be a inferior species, that would have been extinct long ago had it not been for two beings ? A Human would win over a pony, why ? Because we are survivalists. We have survived, thrived, and triumphed in a world where everything is out to kill us. That has made us distrusting of others, but it has also earned us our freedom. Not to be scared of other animals, to live at the top of the food chain. You probably don't even know basic history, outside of the bullshit you've been feeding yourself. You are a disgrace to America, another misanthrope living off of foodstamps. Just because you know humanity can be bad, doesn't mean that humanity is nothing but jackwagons that deserve to be eradicated.

So get your snobby head out of your a**, and look at the good side. Coming from a millitary family, I have learned to respect individual lives. I respect that you are aware that humanity has some bad qualities. But full blown out misanthropy deserves to be punished. Let me ask you this.

Would you force others against their will, to become something they don't want to be. Is killing, butchering the minds of thousands of innocents alright if it is to further your own goals ? Your corrupt, spiteful, misanthropic goals ?

[Brimstonne]

777057 Ah, the cornered defender. This is not a personal, petty attack, more of a.... unveiling shall we call it. I can agree on what you said, that there is not enough background information, as for the conflict. If you would read Ten Rounds, you would understand the conflict. Have you been in war, or simulated in. In war, everyone acts the same, personalities are overwritten by the primeval urge of surviving. So don't go and bother to rant about that.

[Brimstonne]

777097 Is there really any right or wrong when they are just our perception. I am not stupid, I have just done a thing called persuading. You are nothing more than a petty hater, if you were to take the time and read Ten Rounds. You would understand the conflict. Instead, you choose to dismiss that, and bash the author, who has done nothing that is considered wrong in the perception of many. You simply just can't process the amount of thinking Philosophy takes. It is not my fault, nor others that you will not improve your intelligence, and logic level. I do hope that you can abandon your spiteful ways, and see others opinions.

I am not being stupid That_One_Guy, just merely pointing out flaws,and things you need to consider before making a opinion.

[King Rhaegas Targaryen]

777032 HERE FUCKING HERE!

also, 777097 your user name betrays your trollhood sir.

[Brimstonne]

777146 Might I ask what you meant by those three words ?

[King Rhaegas Targaryen]

777152 it meant that i agreed with everything in that post.
also, it's great to see a brony with military background.

[Brimstonne]

777171 Why thank you, and it is nothing really, a talent and hobby of mine. Considering I am Scandinavian, also helps with it. One can learn much, when they look around them, and observe the ideas of others. I can teach you how to do this King Rhaegas Targaryen. That_One_Guy made a response, typical for someone who has had their opinion dissected and proven flawed. A surefire sign, that you have won the argument.

[Mordecaiser]

777218 you handled yourself pretty well
either that or i havent seen enough fights to prove otherwise

[Brimstonne]

777643 I haven't had any fights besides this one.

[mau5!]

:D Yay, thanks for the likes and support, I know it's tottaly a rip off of ten rounds, but i've seen a few others, or maybe just one lol, but we all have a grudge against the ponies dont we? :D

[Brimstonne]

777810 Indeed we do comrade.

[sgtnolisten]

I don't like killing innocents. These ponies are just being controlled by the princesses for this speciocide.

But, I like you're plan. Make them remember. Force them to remember. Have their foals cry for their mothers to check for humans in their closets or under their beds. Make the immortal Princesses look upon the ruins of Canterlot and realize, "We forced them to this."

I love the Conversion Bureaus when they were a tempting choice. But when the decision is forced? I look to the Heavens, pray to God for the safe passage for the ponies, and for forgivness of the sins I am about to commit.dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/eenope.png
