//------------------------------// // Welcome to America // Story: Paroled, The Sequel // by FIM Fiction //------------------------------// Cozy Glow was going crazy. She kept trying to get demerits from not eating properly to insulting children in front of their parents. But Twilight wouldn't turn her to stone. She wouldn't let her be "rewarded" for her actions. She was in hell. Utter hell. She even tried to end her life on multiple occasions. 52. But the technology, Omniscient, seemed to be everywhere. Huge height? Spells of feather decent and padded ground. Knife? Magic whisked it out of her hooves. The young lady let out a sigh. "Heh." Cozy Glow let out a single laugh as she laid on her stomach in the darkness of her room. Years ago she chose her house. She lived alone, and received no demerits. She went to that stupid School of Friendship so many times, she knew every square inch of every surface by heart. "Here's to thirteen years of hell." "One demerit received." Cozy Glow ignored Omni. She didn't mean to get a demerit so it gave her one. "One year for me." Blueblood said, entering the room and laying on his back beside Cozy Glow. When he was released, he was angry. He soon became afraid when he saw ALL the statues. It cause him some trauma, and allowed him to keep his temper. "Got you a cupcake. Made it myself. Here's a box too." Blueblood set down a pink and blue box on Cozy's back. "Thanks." Cozy Glow and Blueblood made most of their foods from scratch. It was the most freedom they could have with the food. "Is that a candle?" "Happy Anniversary." Blueblood said. "Thanks. Check the closet. Got a gift for you too." Blueblood got up and trotted over to the closet. He pulled out a blue and white box. "Bet I can open this before you can." "You're on!" "One demerit received." Cozy Glow flipped over, tossing her gift into the air. She quickly tore though it. She pulled out a dress out with a smug look. "Ha! Beat you!" she said, pulling the dress on over her head. Blueblood frowned. "Da- Darn it." Blueblood swore, only halfway though his. He pulled out a black hoodie with a Trotters baseball cap. "Neat!" He quickly pulled on the hoodie and set the cap on his head. "The hat has a hole for your horn." Cozy Glow quickly explained. "One de-" "I was helping him put on a hat by explaining it was crafted differently. It wasn't being racist." Cozy Glow said. This seemed to suffice Omni. "Now give me that cupcake." "Hang on a second." Blueblood lit his horn and made a spark, lighting the candle. Cozy Glow and Blueblood watched the candle slowly melt. A few minutes passed before Cozy Glow spoke. "Here goes." She took a deep breath. And blew out the candle. "So, what you wish for?" Blueblood asked. "That someone would come who could mess up Twilight." Cozy Glow answered. "Good wish." Blueblood responded, nodding. "One demerit received." Omni said. An explosion was suddenly felt throughout the land. Not an Earthquake. But an Explosion. "What was that!?" the two asked in shock. "WHAT IS THAT!?" the two screamed, pointing to each other as a black cloud covered them. * MEANWHILE * A warship of absolutely massive size popped into existence, with a large amount of the latest tech. An American vessle, though not all the technology was American. One man steered the whole thing. Well, he was actually on deck. A bald, tall thin man in a suit and red tie. "Where the f*ck am I?" Anonymous asked, scratching his head with a pistol. "I got a mobile Titan Class America War Cruiser, but I didn't think that Project-" A black cloud formed, dropping two weird things in front of Anon. He fired his gun, emitting a loud BLAM. "WHO ARE AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING ON AMERICAN SOIL!?" Cozy Glow and Blueblood immediately raised their arms in surrender. "CELESTIA BLESS AMERICA!" Cozy shouted in panic. "Sweet!" Anonymous shoved his pistol into it's holster. "I'm guessing Celestia's your god. Are you here to become an American citizen?" Blueblood and Cozy Glow looked at each other in confusion, before turning to Anonymous. "What's Amareica?" Blueblood asked. "Last I checked it was a country with it's Second Civil War. Which probably means... Eh, I'll explain later." Anonymous answered with a shrug. "Another country!?" the two ponies asked in disbelief. "Yeah?" Anonymous asked. "This here is mobile American territory for up to a hundred miles out in each direction. Dunno how that works though. I'm just a Private." The two lowered their arms. "Do you have any laws against pizza toppings?" Cozy Glow asked. "Hell naw! What crazy sort of law is that!?" Anonymous asked in shock. "How do we become Amarerican citizens!?" the two asked eagerly, leaping to their hooves. "I... don't actually know. I think it requires studying it's history and it's laws, then being given a quiz. I'm not gonna do that." Anonymous looked up at the sky. "A storm will be coming soon. We should get inside and find the kitchens. And maybe make a map because this thing is massive. I got a jar of dirt, so I could do something with that." Anonymous shrugged and removed his coat, putting it over Cozy Glow. He took off his dress shirt and draped it on Blueblood. This showed off two things. One, his skin tight t-shirt that read "Democracy and Jesus. They real good." Two, his fit, thin yet muscular, form of military training. "There. Makeshift blankets until we find the beds. I literally just got on the boat when it got here, so I have no idea where anything is." "What exactly is this place?" Cozy Glow asked. "One really big warship." Anonymous answered. "Warship?" Cozy Glow asked. Slowly, thoughts of taking over the ship and using it to return the idea of war came to her head. It was an old feeling she missed. One that seemed to restore energy she didn't realize she was missing, seeping down to her bones. "Guess I should explain." Anonymous said. "Okay. This is a mobile Titan Class America War Cruiser. Basically, well... America had some Territory they could set up in another country. To attack would be to claim war on America. This sort of thing was apparently not good enough for my current president, so he collected all the tax dollars and made this. He then drafted thousands, despite the fact there was no war. I think he wanted war, and was sending out folks like me as a flesh wave. Because I was sent to a training camp, lifted weights and learned how to obey orders and shoot a gun, then was sent to this top of the line ship to attack some highly dangerous place." "That's awful!" Blueblood exclaimed. "Yeah... Jokes on them, I got a ship now." Anon said with a laugh. "Now where's a map?" * * * Twilight saw something that didn't belong on her planet. A warship of absolutely massive size, like a island of death. She would not have it. Such broke the laws. Twilight let out a sad sigh. It looked like someone would be in stone for at least a year.
