It was the dark night. The sky glittererd with the billion little twinkles that looked like miniature diamonds, while the night itself let its colp grip hang firmly upon the world. It was unusually cold for spring, and the only sounds outside were those of the occasionnal hoof hitting the ground, or the flapping wings of the nightguard...and Gill's surprising lung capacity for snoring. He was snoring so loud that everybody in the surrounding areas had to plug their ears. Despite what could be considered a tranquil night, if one excludes the sound of a train wrecking, there was something sinister going on in the human wing of the hospital. The muffled sound of hooves going into each room, followed by a quick exit into the next room, gave an aura of evil intentions and corruption to fill the corridor Gill was in.Eventually, the culprits arrived into his room. It was a doctor holding a syringue in his mouth. It was full of some strange purple stuff. As the doctor reached for the bags letting their nourishing flow into Gill's body, said human awoke.
"What?"
"Shi-tzu. I'm just here for a check-up. I nneed to place this anasthetic in this sack to help you...sleep and prevent your pains from arising." the stallion said as he let his foreleg swing around.
"Okay. G'night." Gill immediately fell back to sleep, leaving the pony baffled and scratching the back of his head.
"Wow. What an idiot. A soon-to-be-pony idiot. Heheheh."
The doctor quickly scampered outside as Gill fell back to sleep due to the sleeping medicine mixed with the potion. There were six ponies dressed in dark clothing.
"Okay, everypony here?"
"Yeah." shouted a very deep voice.
At the only exit of the corridor, stood Snowman holding a prototype handheld, rapid-firing railgun, while the two heavily armored folks to his left and right both held a G36, and an M39, respectively.
"What the? A human?"
"Boss. We're too late."
"Not at all." Snowman smiled as he spat out a bone he was chewing on, shocking the ponies.
"You eat meat? Barbarians!" a mare shouted.
"Says you. I've run out of pony bones."
The two humans flanking Snowman chuckled, while the ponies started to quiver.
"IT'S TIME FOR SOME MORE MEAT OF EQUIDAE!"
Gill was hearing in fuzzy noises. The sounds were coming from outside. There were sounds of crying, and cursing, and so on and so forth coming from the other side of the door.
"Oh dear god! What's happened to me!" a female voice shouted.
"I'm a winged pony! Why? I was a human. This is all YOUR fault."
Gill stood up, his head pounding. He made sure nothing happened to him by checking his hands.
"One...two...five...potato...My hurt brains." derpaherp.
"Be calm. He hasn't woken up yet, so be very calm. Sir." a doctor came in while slowly opening the door.
"Ja?"
"We came to s..."
"What?"
The three at the door just stared at the man, then looked at the needle planted in one of the transparent cables, then back at the man. The doctor from the other day came in and told Gill that he could go. He did notice that the human was still under the sleeping agents, as noticed by his "Is there an officer, problem?" attitude. Helping the human to walk, albeit tipsy, the two got out of the room, but not before the pony turned around and spoke to his co-workers:
"I'll explain everything when I come back."
Gill was a zombie, and he couldn't understand the complaints of those...colorful giraffes. Trippy be he. It wasn't until the zombie reached the first floor of teh hospital that Heart slapped him powerfully on the head. The man put a hand to his cheek, but he wasn't himself yet, so Chocolate took advantage of the situation and punched him in the gut while laughing.
"Owwww. Why would you do that?"
"Aww. You're yourself again." Chocolate complained.
"Yeah. Let's go."
"What happened here?" Heart asked as she looked around to ponies in panic.
"Dunno. I was sleeping. Can we please get back to the truck. It's a long walk, and I don't want to have to deal with a long walk during the night again."
"Fine." Chocolate rolled his eyes.
It took a few hours, but the group finally arrived at the ghetto. The truck did not move from its place, nor did it get dismantled or scavenged by the nearby humans. Chocolate took a peek at the engine, and rubbed his head.
"It's a good thing I took this box with me." he said as he dropped a red box from his side.
"What? I didn't see that. Where did it come from."
"From somewhere." the stallion said with shift eyes.
While Heart Drop and Gill started talking about their good and bad times, a huge human flanked by creepy looking triplets had been following them since they left the hospital. The triplets looked depressing, and their emo haircuts that flopped over their faces didn't help. They were, however, very smart, and they could hold a pretty good amount of ammo. These women were a bit thin, however. The giant, a bald man, was, surprisingly, despite his stature and massive muscle mass, quite smart as well.Unlike the triplets, however, he held a gatling gun on his back as well as extra-thick body armor. The four had taken a resting at a nearby café, and were drinking calmly.
"Hey, Bear."
"What?"
"Why do we have to wait here? Why can't we get him now and kill those other two ponies?"
"They're just disgusting equidae."
"And we don't need them."
"I will never get used to you three talking one after the other as if you had one mind."
The triplets giggled.
"What was I saying? Ah, right. He's going somewhere, and we need to see where. He was panicking every time he saw a pony, so I'm going to assume that he was probably captured. They are certainly going to take him to their hideout. Just in case, we have several other members hiding in the black and blue."
"Ah. Soooo..."
"We wait and see-"
"-What will happen?"
"Bear" stared at the three looking at him, with a questioning look.
"Yes."
"Great."
Chocolate was mostly blackened at the end of the repairs, but the truck roared once again, and Heart cleaned the stallion off with her magic. Gill went into the vehicle and cleaned out the now bad food. When he took off, both Heart and Chocolate got scared. They had forgotten about how it was like to ride in a car or truck. What the three didn't notice, was the black humvee following behind. It was driving slowly, and was just barely out of sight. More hours of driving led to the appearance of the factory in the distance.
"Ahhhh. I remember that place. I remember pranking Elisa into drinking concentrated spice liquids. Pahaha! She literally drank all the milk in the facility."
"What's that?" Heart said as she leaned over the car counter.
In front of the gates were two ponies watching the surrounding area. Gill grabbed the clutch and squinted.
"It's roadkill."
"What?!" the other two ponies screamed.
The truck took off with full speed before starting to slow down. The two guards saw the truck and opened fire, only to be punched away by the nose of the metal monster. With satisfaction, Gill turned his car and entered the facility. Chocolate seemed to have already gotten over the dilemma while Heart was still traumatized. Being so short, the human had to help the two get off the truck and place them gently on the ground.
"You make me want to hug you both because you're so small." Gill said to his friend with a nudge on his head.
"Shut up."
"HEY! Are you crazy? What did you do?" a pegasi shouted as she went towards the flattened corpses of the two victims.
"There! It's a human. He's...you again? Oh, just wait 'til our boss comes ou-"
"I'm here." a familiar pony said as he walked up with a gun. "Well, well. Come to become a pony?"
"I-"
"There's no point in trying to kill us. We're more numerous than you."
"But-"
"And, since you just knocked away the two from before, we'll-"
After the chain of interruptions, Gill back-handed the stallion with so much anger and strength, that said pony flung far away while wailing and holding onto his cheek, dragging the attention of the others towards him.
"You dumbshit. I said I only came back for the chamber. Yeesh." Gill rolled his eyes as he started to walk forward.
Mumblings began as everypony removed themselves from the group's passing, allowing them to continue into the facility. However, Gill stopped one he got stabbed in the arm with a potion-poisoned dart. It was a little colt that did it, and he was laughing as evily as possible. His laughter soon went away as the human just plucked out the dart, flicked it away, and continued his path. The three had a clear way to the stasis room, and Gill wanted some answers.
