//------------------------------// // danger in the fields // Story: downed in Equestria // by Average_NZ_Bronie //------------------------------// this wasn't Johns least stressful morning, but it wasn't his most stressful morning either, he had woken up to have that weird lavender horse from earlier staring down at him, he crawled back across the warped steel flooring and before he knew it he was halfway across the AC-130 and had his back against the warped form of the cargo door, shocked and not expecting a answer he asked "who are you?" the lavender horse looked shocked and stumbled back, nervously replying with "twilight sparkle" 'huh' thought john 'that a odd name' the suddenly the wreck of the gunship lurched over to one side, and before he could react he saw two rounds from the Gau-12 rolling across the floor, eyes widening in shock he realised what a dumb mistake he had made, he had lay down and fell asleep, in a gunship, which was fully loaded and fuelled for a combat test mind you, with its engines on fire which could of quickly spread to the fuselage and ammunition holds, which would not of ended well for him and anyone in a 100 meter radius, quickly pulling himself together, he decided to hold his mental breakdown for later and took charge, yelling at the 'twilight sparkle' "GET OUT NOW, THIS WHOLE THING COULD GO UP AT ANY MOMENT" shocked the horse thing called 'twilight sparkle' stumbled back revealing a small lizard looking thing that stood on two legs, but the 'twilight sparkle' seemed to get the gist of something was wrong and hurriedly got out of the gunship. followed quickly by john who when he saw the engines and now the wings were in flames, he hurried back inside to the cockpit, hoping the extinguishing systems still had enough juice for one last firing, he hit the button on the modified dashboard to enable it and stopped, praying it turned on, all was silent, only punctured by the sound of the GPWS still trying to convince john to pull up, the a light on the dashboard lit up, reporting that the flame had been contained and extinguished. Giving a sigh of relief he went down the mangled stair ladder and approached the 'twilight sparkle' who was standing and staring at the extinguisher fluid leaking from the mangled engines, john was determined to make conversation with this thing, but before he could say anything the twilight sparkle spoke up and asked "who are you?"
