If you can make ten men worth a hundred, then you can make one man worth a thousand.
Location: Equestria, Canterlot City
Day: 739 ABG
Galactic Military Time: 13:25
Canterlot has been invaded. The force field spell that was protecting the city have been shattered and changelings are swarming in. Soon the city was overrun. Sharp didn’t know what just happened, first, they were asking questions to some ponies and searching the nearly empty streets(since most ponies are at the wedding by now), then the next they found themselves surrounded by changelings and got captured. He and Stone were trying to escape from a green goo that wraps around them. But it was no use, and the changelings just laughed at their efforts.
“Once we capture the rest of the guards and take the city, we will feast the love in this city!” announced the sergeant, while the others cheered.
“You won’t win this!”Hoofstrong shouted angrily.
“Ha! We did, and who’s going to stop us?”The sergeant mocked.
At that moment there was fast repeating noise and a scream, then two buildings down the road a window was shattered, strange blue lights fly out of it, then a changeling was flung out onto the street and lay there motionless. The other changelings stare and before one of them could check on their fellow changeling out came a strange creature. It’s a foot taller than them with white hard-looking skin with what look like bruises and scars, and blue around some parts of its body. The head has a T shape with a black mark on the left side of the forehead. At first, it’s looking at the changeling body then it looks straight at them.
“What is that thing!?”One of them shouted.
“Who cares! Get it!``the sergeant ordered. A changeling flew straight at the alien, spear at hand, but the creature lifted up a black stick at the changeling and shoot. Blue blots of magic zoomed and blew straight through the changeling’s head, killing it instantly. The others froze in complete shock. Seeing his fallen comrade the sergeant shouted with such rage.
“KILL HIM!”
Then they rush at the veteran, but before they could reach him, five were shot down by multiple blots. The sergeant rush at the alien, though he’s wearing armor, it got shredded like cheese and he too fell to other’s fate.“Sergeant!” a changeling yelled then charge at him, sword raised ready to strike the monster. Before the changeling can get him, the alien took out his gauntlet blade and slashed it, blood spewed out from the chest as it tumbled across the ground. Three more attacked him, he dodged a strike from one then sliced off the wings then took out his pistol and shot to the head, then he stabbed another one through the neck, blood gash out spilling on his armor. Then he shot the third straight the head. The fourth one was trying to crawl away slowly but then felt wight upon him, then the changeling looked up with fright to see the alien on top of him with his rifle pointing at him. The alien pulled the trigger and it shot, leaving a smoking hole on the body.
The two guards stare with great shock and horror, “Oh Celestia, what have I got myself into..”Sharp muttered aloud. While they have a hard time to fight off the Changelings, the alien wiped them out with ease, all this time he was guarding and then searching not a pony-eating alien, but a killing machine! It started to walk towards them, Sharp’s heart is beating fast, for Stone, he has never been afraid before, but now, for the first time, he’s afraid. The human stopped in front of them, then took out a purple sword, raising it high. Sharp Blade tried to struggle out of the goo but in vain, then he looked up to see the blade coming down.
He shut his eyes, ready for his end to come, but it didn’t, instead of feeling the hit, he felt a loose tightness around himself.
Opening his eyes, he looked down to find the goo that wrapped around him turned to nothing but green soap. Then he looked up at its expressionless face completely dumbfounded as it looked back at him not knowing what it will do next. It looked up then and rushed at two Changelings, shooting them down, then got on top of a turned over cart. He looked at the two of them, then he raised his right hand in a two-finger salute. Both Sharp and Hoof are very surprised and looked blankly at the alien. Then the alien jumped off and went through the streets.
The two of them stare where it went off then looked at each other, “Did he just…”Hoofstrong paused, too baffled of what happened.“Saluted us?”Sharp Blade finished.
Meanwhile in an unknown building
It’s very quiet in the room, nothing made a sound save for the breeze. Snoring on the bed, lay a particular weapon specialist, sleeping happily. Suddenly, there was a booming sound and the whole building shook. Poor Flare fell out of the bed, caught by surprise and disturbed him from his dream(who knows what his dreams about). Fare starts to get up while groaning.
“Ugh, Razor, if you doing another experiment or this is a joke Ven made you do, I swear I’ll-” He stopped, “Wait a second....,” Flare got up and turned around to see where he’s in. It was a simple white room, with a white bed that has a strange crystal hanging over, a nightstand, and a closet.
“This isn’t my room,” Flare said looking around. He looked at the closet then walked to it and opened its doors. Outcomes his weapons and his armor, “And what are my weapons are doing here?”Flare asked. Then he remembered: He was battling droids in the engine room when alarms going off. The second engines can’t hold the heat when use hyperspace, they're only used for emergency and go for short distances. From the looks of the smoking and the sparking, they are quite far...and it’s going to explode! Not taking chances, Flare rushed out of the room before it burst with a KA-BOOM. As Flare got up and was about to meet up with Razor, he was flung from a sudden jolt and everything went black.
“I must’ve been knockout, where am I?”Flare asked looking around the room. Suddenly there were some crashes and screams coming outside. Flare decided up gear up and investigate after he put on his armor went to gather his weapons: Z-6 blaster cannon, grenade launcher, 4 impact grenades, 2 sonic grenades, 5 flame grenades, 5 thermal detonators, 3 HX2 antipersonnel mine, and 3 proximity mines. Finally, Flare picked up his favorite weapon: an old flare gun he named Flarly, he has this weapon ever since his first weapons training.“Well, ready to burn things up?”Flare asked his weapon, then he hosted it on his right side waist. Then picking up his Z-6, he stalked towards the door carefully and planted himself to the wall between the door and the window. He was about to open the door when suddenly there was a whistling sound like a falling proton shell.
“What the-Whoa!”Flare jumped out of the way as a ball of green fire came crashing through the door, smashing it to splinters and made a crater few inches from him. Flare turned around ready his blaster cannon, aiming toward the crater, the barrels spinning faster and faster. Suddenly, an insect-like alien jumped out of the crater, hissing at Flare. Before the alien could bite or even touch him, it got hit by a hail storm of blaster bolts, the alien dropped back into the crater. Smoke rises from the barrels as the weapon specialist walked over to inspect the creature: It looks a lot like a geonosian but more black-green than the dark-orange, it also seems to be more humanoid with holes around the legs. Its mouth was wide open showing two fangs with its blue eyes opened with fright.
“Ugh, and I thought Verpines look creepy,” Flare said as he kicked the body, then he walked out of the building then stopped when he heard something. The trooper turned to the right of the street to find another bug. It stood there for one second then it screamed and flew for the hills.“Ha! That’s right! You better run, because it’s going to take more than one to-” Flare looked up to find a whole swarm of bugs, an endless black-cloud of them.“Wow. Now that’s a lot of bugs.”He said. A group of them spotted him rush towards him, he shrugged and ready his blaster.“Well, as the saying goes,” he said readying his Z-6 and prepared himself to charge into the fray.“Sol’ye step, lo Haran!”
The streets are in chaos, changelings swarms around, buildings ablaze, ponies scattered around in terror. Three unicorns one blue, one white, one mint green, all ran for their lives from changelings. A changeling fire green magic blast at the ponies,“ Gah!”It the blue unicorn.
“Minuette!”The other shouted in fear.
“Grab them!”Command the lieutenant. Before they do something, the changelings grabbed them. Then they dragged them to the lieutenant with the blue one and dropped them at his feet. The white unicorn crawled to Minuette, “It’s alright Twinkleshine, I’m fine, just can’t move.” replied the blue one.
“Now then, let's have some fun,” the Changeling gives a mischievous grin. Then he approaches to the frighted Twinkleshine.
“Leave her alone!”Lyra shouted.
“Quiet you!”A changeling kicked the green unicorn on the side hard, forcing her down. The changeling lieutenant grabbed the blue unicorn by the mane, Then he continues to approach the shaking unicorn, “Please, don’t hurt me,” she pleaded.
“Bend over so I ca-”He was cut off suddenly and flung off by some force that made him rolled then he laid still. One changeling rushed over to his comrade as the others stood in shock, he shook hard on it then look up with terror,“He’s dead, he’s bloody dead.”Sure enough, blood spews out of the head where it hit the changeling.
“Who done this!”Another changeling shouted ferrous, then grabbed Minuette by the throat, “If you’re responsible for this I’l-”Then he too got hit by something...or someone.
“What th-”Then, some very small quick blur hit the changeling straight through the head.
“Bucky!”The other one shouted before he too was shot. There confusion and panic as one by one they get shot down. One tried to fly away, but fall to their same fate in mid-air, it dropped down like a leaf. Only one was left as he searched right and left for the attacker,“Where are you! Show yourself!”Suddenly a shadow looms over him and as he looked up a great creature fell down upon him. Before the changeling could react, he was pinned down and grabbed by the throat. Then it brought down a knife on him and stabbed and slashed, the insect howled and screamed in sharp pain as blood spewed out onto the road. The blood-curdling cries melted away in the chaos until it became just a wisp in the breezes, then silence.
The three mares stood there in pure horror, as they witnessed the changeling just being slaughtered, never, have they seen something so terrifying, let alone brutal. Though the monster’s back on them, they could hear it’s screams of agony as green blood trickled like small streams. As the last breath of the changeling escaped from the body, the creature dropped the body and roses up.
Then turning around, it revealed itself to the mares. Standing six feet, it have white with reddish-black on the shoulders, knees, and along the elbows, it have T sharp face with two line like of tears or scars. It have a lizard-like skull on the left side, and black garment around the waist with blood spelt all over and the rest of his hardened skin, on his right phalange was a bloody knife. He then spoke,“You’re alright?” They girls shrieked and bolted up the streets, leaving a cloud image of dust of themselves as they left the alien behind.
Ven stood there with blood all over him then shrugged,“Sure, sure. Just run away, it’s not like I SAVE your lives or anything!``he shouted after them. A bug beside him hissed and about to bite, Ven turned and punch him down to the ground.
“Oh shut up,” Ven said with annoyance. Groaning, the insect raised its hand before Ven started to stomp on the changeling until with a crunch, the skull brake under his boot with blood spilling out,“Ug, now I got brains all over the bottom of my boot.”
Meanwhile on the streets….
Razor was wondering how he got here while dodging alien-insect shower. First, he was looking through the data on the ship before he blackout by the sudden jolt, then he wakes up to be looking through two blue eyes of a black-green insect, to take it down only to find out he is in an invasion of a city. Now here he is, zig-zagging, ducking, jumping over craters across the streets. A bug was climbing out of the crater but only to have its head met Razor’s foot. He ducked a bolt and hid behind a cart. He’s taking heavy fire, so Razor decided to wonder later and find cover. Searching around, he found a two-story building that seems to be once a shop with two large, rectangle broken windows. Razor took a deep breath and rushed into the open. He got a few glancing hits, but made over to the shop and jumped through the window. Just in time as a hailstorm of green bolts zipped past over him. Razor took cover by the wall under the window, tighten by the sheer number of lasers flying over. Over the sound of fire, there was of gasping beside him, he was not alone.
Razor turned to his right and found two humanoid creatures. One is male judging from the body structure, with grayish azure coat and dark blue mane with amber eyes. It has a mark on the arm that looks like two moons. The other is a female with a light grey coat same for her mane with purple stripes, it has light article blue eyes and a mark also but have stars instead of moons. Both are wearing unusual clothes but Razor is more focus on their faces. The two of them looked very frightened whether himself or the invasion, he could not tell. Razor has been in this situation before, though not in the middle of combat. Doing diplomatic protocol would not work in this situation, so he decided to use the panic protocol, “Remain claim, everything is under control.”More green laser bolts came flying over their heads.
“Under control!?” Shouted the male one over the shooting.
“Nearly all of the guards are captured! And just who you think you are? What are you!?”
“Alpha-18. ARC Trooper of the SO BDE of the Republic, ”Razor replied.
“The what-”
“Get down!”More bolt fires over very close to their heads, breaking pieces of glass and frames. Razor got up to the window and aimed his blaster at the enemy. He returned fire and took out two changelings that coming to the left, “Hostile eliminated.”Then shot down three more to the right with ease, more insectoids are coming. Despite being well skilled and with superior technology, it will be a matter of time before they find themselves buried in alien bugs. Razor thought of a plan, though there are a 95% chances for it to fail. But given the fact they’re outnumbered and also there not any other options, this has to work. The ARC Trooper turned to them,“Listen, I don’t know who or what you are (or where am I), but we have to discuss this later and get moving.”After he said that the backdoor of the building was banging, the enemy is trying to get in. Razor raised his head over only to duck down from the green bolts. They’re getting closer, Razor needs to move, fast.
“Alright, I got a plan, but you have to trust me,” Razor moved closer to the couples, “Can you trust me?”There was silence between the three besides the conflict raging outside. The male turned to his companion, the female was silent for a moment, then she nodded.
“OK,” he finally said,“Good, now you see that building over there,” Razor pointed outside to the right side down the streets to a bright blue apartment. They both nodded then Razor took out a stun grenade, “I’m going to throw this grenade then you run out while I provide cover fire.”They are not sure if this will work, but they’ll try.
“Ready,” the ARC Trooper gets into position, reeling his hand with the grenade. The pair got ready by the door. Then Razor threw the grenade over the window, a few seconds later there was a bang.
“Go, go!” shouted Razor as they rushed out of the building. The grenade has caught a good amount of bugs in the explosion, some outside were affected by it only a bit recovered quickly. Razor took out the ones that near them as they dodge and take cover from bolt firing from their horns. They were almost to the building, but then more insects landed in front of them, cutting them off their way to their refuge.
“This way!” Razor shouted leading them into the ally. The bugs follow after them into the ally with frenzy. Razor threw another grenade, this one is an EMP grenade, though it's not effective against organic beings, he hoped it will slow them down while they could get a distance between them and the bugs. They turned to the right of the alley where they stopped. The alley they took, led them to a dead end. “Blast!” He turned around to find the alien bugs have caught up with them, their glossy blue-greenish eyes are filled with red rage. Their dagger-like horns point down to the three, ready to fire. Razor stood in front of the two humanoids, shutting his eyes, he prepared to receive the fire that’s to come. But it didn’t, instead of the sound of blaster bolts, there was only the sound of sparks.
The ARC trooper opened his eyes to find the reason why; The horns of the alien insects are giving out electrical sparks. No matter how many times they tried to recharge, it just wouldn’t work. Not missing any chances, Razor raised his WESTAR-M5 and open fire; it’s blue bright bolts zipped through the air, burning the flesh of the screaming insects. Some were trying to escape but got cut down, and some that are very wounded tried to crawl away but they too, fell before the fire. Silence fell within seconds, smoke raised in a column from Razor’s blaster as the emotionless visor scan over the corpses. As Razor’s reload his rifle, he turned around to see the couple’s fear in their eyes.
Then the female spoke,“You ...you killed them.” The Advanced Recon Commando look at her in the eyes.
“I have no choice ma’am, it’s killing them or let them murder civilians,” Razor replied scooting in to comfort.
“Don’t get any closer to her!” Shouted the blue male moving at her side, putting his forearm around her.
“Why are you even doing this!?”That struck Razor and stood there frozen, ‘Why did I try to help them?’ He did it because he was programmed to? Because it was part of the protocols? Usually, he put his missions first, despite the times he saved his brothers. He never thought of this before, but this is actually his first time he has tried to save civilians. Maybe, just maybe he did it because……
There was a screech and Razor turned around. An insectoid in black armor charged at him, sword raised above its head. Razor dodged the grunt’s swing then punched it in the guts and send an electrical pulse from his gauntlet. The alien insect screamed in pain as sparks of electricity zapped out of his body then he collapsed. The taser Razor have on his gauntlet was designed to take out droid infantry, but it could stun or kill organic being depending on the species and its endurance. Not taking any risk, Razor aimed his blaster rifle and shot it.
“Objectives first, questions later,” he said to himself. With that, before the two asked Razor what he meant, the Advanced Recon Commando placed a demolition charge on wall and pressed a few buttons.
“Stand back!” He shouted, and at that same moment, the charge exploded with a burst of cloud. When the dust settled, it left a hole that leads into some kind of an apartment. Razor moved in and scanned the area.
“Clear,”he motioned the civilians over and they compiled. Searching the room more, there was a turned over chair, burnt currents, and a few broken pieces here and there. There was a door which he opened up to find a closet with enough room to hold two.
“You two can hide here until it’s safe to come out.”
“Where are you going?”Asked the blue civilian.
“To find my squad and see if I can assist with the defense.” Right when he was about to leave, a hand was placed on his pauldron, he looked to find the female local looking at him with a worried face.
“My daughter is out there, she was around the castle when the invasion happened, could you please find her”This surprised Razor, he don’t know what to say, the trooper has never been requested, usually he recuse those when he was ordered to by his superiors. But then again, Jai did things that the command did not tell them, well at least what they didn’t mention or things they told not to do. Razor starred in her arctic blue eyes, “Ma'am, I’m not sure if I will be able to find your daughter.”He said, making the female looked fearful,“But I’ll do whatever it takes to do so.”
With that, she smiled knowing he’ll find her daughter. Razor then got up ready to go out into the fray, he turned around one last time to look at the couple, thinking of asking their names or what they are. But then he decided to ask later, right now he has to find his brothers(and if possible and the local’s daughter whether alive…..or dead). The ARC Trooper saluted to them and went out into the open. First things first, he scanned the area no enemy nearby, putting a figure to his helmet’s comlink, Razor turned on.
“Alpha-18 to Alpha squad, this is Razor, can you read me.” Statics is all that can be heard.
“Razor to Alpha squad, can anyone hear me?” Nothing. Razor is getting worried, either their comms are off or something about this planet is jamming their communication links or….. His thoughts were interrupted by the hissing of insect coming from to his right flank as it pounced on him. Razor elbowed him square center to the chest making the attacker to reel back gasping for air. Then the specialist punches his attacker down to the ground and took out his pistol and shot it to the head. Small smoke leaked out of the burnt part of the corpse on the ground like a water drop from a vine. Razor then proceeded on to contacting his squad, he must keep trying.
Jai rushed through the streets as he dodged obstacles and blast changelings. He stopped to look around the area. It was what all soldiers are familiar with….. Chaos. Destruction. War. It’s hard for him to believe this was a beautiful, peaceful city. But that’s how it is in war, when war comes, even the most peaceful place turned into a battlefield.
‘It seems as if wherever I go, I always end up in a conflict’ He then press a finger on his helmet. Fortunately for Jai, as he was putting on his armor back at the building, there was a map of the whole city. He scanned the map then put on this HUD. The downside is he can’t be able to track enemies or allies without a tactical senor, so he has to check the area himself. He looked up to see what’s the situation. It appeared to be not looking very good, there seems to be an endless sea of insects, they’re overrunning the defenses (which there are barely any), and from the looks of it, there is no guard, either killed or captured. He shook his head.
“Real soldiers are rare these days,” He said to himself gloomily. This wasn’t the first time Jai has defended local planets, nor any other planets for that matter. Though he may not know which side they’re on or not, either way, their home was being invaded. He understands how it feels for their home was invaded, his home planet, Kamino have been invaded by the Separatist. As Jai was remembering his past while running through the streets, his comn starts to come to life.
“Alpha-18 to Alpha Squad, can anyone read!”Jai stopped in mid-step, then checked his helmet comn.
“Razor?”
“Jai? Is that you?” the tech specialist asked. Jai was revealed to know that one of his brothers is alive.
“It is. It’s good to hear you are here, wherever here is,” he said while looking around the battlefield.
“What’s your status?”
“Terrible, no matter how many of them I killed these insects, they just keep coming and coming. There must be a whole planetary invasion force here!” replied Razor, then Jai heard a thump and a screech of an alien.
“I don’t know which is worse, geonosians, or these bloody buggers.” a crunch can be heard at the end of the comn.
“Where’s are the others?”Jai asked.
“Don’t know, for all I know if they survived, Ven’vul is on a killing spree and Flare probably wrecking the streets by now.”Razor replied with some annoyance.
Meanwhile
Flare roamed the streets while shooting down any changelings in his path.
“That’s 165,” he said after shot a humanoid bug with his Z-6 rotary blaster cannon. Then his cannon mowed down another few more, “That’s 166, 167, 168….” he continued to count his kills as the bugs fell one by one. Some who tried to escape or return fire have met a storm of pure blue energy. Finally, the road was clear as the last one fell, full of burning holes.
“And that’s 180. Man! Scorch would be jealous when he finds out that I’m on a roll here.” Flare said gleefully, as he switched to his grenade launcher and fire grenades into buildings where the insects have barricaded themselves in. As the weapon specialist strolled through the town, blasting bugs from left to right, his comm was getting static all the sudden. Flare stopped for a few moments and banged his helmet with his hand a few times. He shrugged it off and kept moving until it went static again.
“The comn must be broken. If only Razor were here, he’s the one with the tech,” he sighed, remembering how his brother helps out with tech. Like the time where Razor help him with the cannon system on their tour on the Liberty. Flare chuckled, “Even though he can be quite dull.”
“What was that?” a voice called. The weapon specialist stopped and check his comn, praying to the Mandalorian Gods, or any deity that exists. He put his finger on the receptor, “Razor?”
“Flare? Is that you?” Flare would have never thought how glad he was to hear the very voice that bored him those time ago.
“Is Jai there?”
“Hey there little vod.” All three are happy to know each one is alive.
Though it’s great to know they’re here, neither one doesn’t know where they are exactly. Not to mention that they are in a warzone. Also, there’s another thing….
“Where’s Ven?” said Flare, a sound of concern in his voice.
“Don’t know. We got separated on the ship. We thought you might have made contact with him.” replied Jai. There was a moment of silence.
“Jai, what do we do now?” asked Razor.
Jai looks around again to see where he was. He appears to be in some kind of a marketplace with ruined shops and turned over carts. On the right, there is some kind of a cafe with broken windows, glass scattered on the ground. The door was knocked down back towards the cafe, a coffee sign dangle over the entrance of the cafe. On his left, there was a store for clothes, dress dummies on the display were knocked over places, surrounded by shattered glass. He continues searched around the area until he spotted a castle-liked structure ahead of him, about 10 klicks away. Jai made his decision and tell the others on the comn, “Alright, here’s the plan. Can you see a castle at your position?” asked Jai.
The other two acknowledged that they can see it. “We will rendezvous there, hopefully, get a better signal to contact Ven. If not, then we will search for him from there.”
“Rules of engagement sir?” asked Razor.
“Weapons check. Watch for civilians, kill the hostiles.” Jai replied.
“With extreme prejudice?” Flare asked with glee.
Jai couldn’t help but smirk under the helmet, “With extreme prejudice.”
He sent his squadmates the map into their HUD, and as he was wishing his squad luck, he heard a sudden scream. Jai turned toward the direction which comes from across an alleyway. Deciding to investigate he went through the alleyway and peek around the corner. There were about five insect soldiers across the street, four in green armor, and another one with blackish green ones. They are surrounding a local civilian that’s on its knees with two insects at each side.
Jai was thinking of what to do. Whether he should try to pass them or try to help the civilian. On one hand, he’s in a hurry to join his squad, on the other, he has this feeling in his gut that he should help this civilian. Jango Fett always told him to trust his instinct, especially strong ones. If your instinct is telling you something, you should listen to it. That’s what Jango told him and his squadmates, and Jai’s instinct is telling to help this civilian. Most of the ARC troopers would disregard citizen lives, seeing that they just get in the way of their objectives. To Jai, saving a civilian life has advantages. If you save a civilian, you would earn their trust and they could become potential allies. If he could save this civilian, he could earn his(or her) trust that will help them in the future on this planet. Jai made his choice, he reloaded his blaster and took out his flashbang. “There are five so far, but there could be more. I have to take them out quickly before any possible reinforcement could arrived.” The trooper was getting ready to throw. “Well, here goes nothing.”
Fleur struggled to break free as her captors laughed at her vain efforts. “Feisty one aren’t you!” mocked one of the changelings holding her. The other one grabbed her by the hair, she gritted her teeth from the pull. They caught her off guard when she and Fancy Pants got separated in the confusion, she tried to fight back but they subdued her quickly. She looks angrily toward the changeling officer as he approached her with a wicked grin on his face.
The officer grabbed her by the chin, “I have to say, you put up a fight.” he grinned, pulling her closer. “But not good enough.” whispered evilly into her ear.
Fleur pulled back her head then bite the changeling on the hand. The officer yelled and pulled back his hurt hand then slap her hard on the cheeks. The two let go of her limbs as she fell to the ground from the impact. The changeling officer hissed angrily, “You know, I was planning to have some fun with you.” He took out his saber. “Now, I changed my mind.” The officer raised it over his head, ready to strike her down. Fleur looked up in fear as the blade gleam in the sunlight like fangs of a serpent. She lifted her hand in vain for the coming blow. Just as it’s about to carve into her skull, a strange hourglass-like rolled in front of Fleur and her executioner making a rapid beeping noise.
“What in the-”
*BANG!*
There was a loud noise and a bright flash that blinded Fleur and those around her. The unicorn lay there stunned, thinking or at least trying to think what just happened to her. The first thought was that she was struck by lightning. She tried to look around but couldn’t see anything but white light, hear nothing either accept for the consent ringing in her ear. Ten seconds later Fluer started to see again, her eyes widened at what she saw. Dead changelings all around, but that’s not what has her attention
What really caught her attention is this tall white creature standing over the officer’s corpse. It’s looking down at the body while holding a strange short black stick pointing. A small stream of vapor rises out of the end of it. The creature turns it toward the unicorn, its T shape eyes staring at her.
There were a shout and a changeling charged at the creature. In lighting speed, it dodged the spear, turned, and punched the soldier in the neck. The changeling gasped for air then it collapsed with its throat bleeding. Two more attacked it, one raised his sword to strike, but the alien pierced through his armor and took its black stick and fire blue lights that burns through the armor. The body fell like a tree as the metal crush on the ground. The alien looked down at its victums then look back at the horrified unicorn. It walked towards her, stepping over the carnage. Fleur crawled back in fear until she ran out of ground and hugged the wall behind her. The creature squatted down as it looks at her with its motionless eyes. It was a long minute of silence.
“Are you alright?”
