The men stood in the cellroom, looking at eachother.

"M-Major Degtyrev? The one that had to investigate Operation Fairway?" Nikolai began.
"Yes, Alexander Degtyrev, that was my mission until these furballs swooped me in this 'Equeatria' of theirs with talking mules and-"
"They are not mules, they are ponies who love and care for eachother, they have feeli-"
"DID YOU LOSE YOUR HUMANITY?!"

Nikolai stared blankly at Alex, he crossed his arms and frowned. "What do you mean by that?" Nikolai asked, "Do you really care about these ponies, back on earth they are farm animals." 

Nikolai didn't respond, "Look, all I know that they want something from us, and that 'something' must be very important to us and them," he paused. "Do you want to spend the next two years in pony prison?" Alex asked. Nikolai shook his head. "Good, I have an escape plan, these ponies are so dumb they didn't even reinforce the doors, just give 'em a good kick and they'll fall down." 

Alex reached behind the bunk bed and took out an L96A1 sniper rifle. He handed it over to Nikolai. "Do you know how to quick scope?" Alex asked, Nikolai nodded and cocked the rifle. Alex reached under the bunk bed and took out an M16, three round burst weapon. "Conserve your ammo, kill shots only, don't fall behind and keep up the pace."

"Ready?"

"Oorah!"

"Game faces!" 

Nikolai kicked the door, it broke off it's hinges and fell upon a unlucky guard. Alex exited the cell room and took down an advancing guard, three empty, smoking catridges flew off and landed on the muddy floor. 

"Come on, come on! There's an exit a few clicks from here!" Alex informed, they began to jog through the hallway, gripping their weapons as tightly as possible.

"One o'clock!"

Nikolai focused, he lifted the sniper rifle, once he had te guard pony in his sight he took the shot, he pulled back the bolt, the guard pony fell on the floor, with a massive hole between his eyes.

"Quick scope'd, headshot, nice work, either your good or your just that good." Alex laughed at his own joke. They continued along the hallway. They've already have passed thousands of cell rooms.

"Where's the exit?" asked Nikolai.

"Not far I think...wait...what was tha-" he was cut short by a flashing lighg in front of them. 

Mere inches away stood Princess Celestia, with an angry expression. She boomed.

"I have given you a second chance human, but you simply must destroy my kind do you!?" 

No one answered.

"I have thought that you were a peacful kind, but I have thought wrong, your kind resinds in war and violence, all these years I thought that ONE of you would arrive in Equestria and solve this conflict once and for all, but no!" 

She inhaled deeply, then continued.

"You have fallen in love with a mare, a pony, love always finds it's way around. But you denied it, you denied your relationship with Rainbow Dash, the Element of Loyalty, you broke her heart and drove her in depression, she now seeks emotional support."

Celestia took a step forward.

"You had inentions on killing her and her friends, you should he ashamed, I gave you a second chance in life, but you have wasted it, completely gone. You could've had a family."

Celestia stopped, eyeing the humans that stood in awe.

"Dude...what is this shit, you love a horse, you killed half a town, and the princess herself gave youba second chance?" Alex began. Nikolai nodded, he lowered his head in shame.

"I can help you Nikolai, just say the word and you'll be back to your loved one, Rainbow Dash." stated the princess.

It was all quiet, even the rats stopped moving. The tension was so thick it could be blown off with a nuke! Alex stood in front of Nikolai.

"Earth or Equestria, the Zone or Rainbow Dash, weapons or friendship, war or happiness?" 

All eyes were on him, waiting for a reply from the young stalker.
