//------------------------------// // Love? // Story: A Para-military Paranoid in Equestria. // by The Last Renegade //------------------------------// " I'll take that as a Yes." The doctor said. " Will it be okay?" There's that Pegasus again...STILL Haven't got her na- " Yes Fluttershy, he'll be okay." Fluttershy. How'd I forget that one? Jack, you are a Dumb-ass. As I look around the room, I Hear a voice from behind me. " Hey...Uh... Sorry I Hit you in the back of the face. No hard feelings?" I Thought for a moment. " The past has past. We gotta live in the present right?" Clever move. Not. " So...Friends?" "Friends" I Say as I shake her han-er... Hoof. "Name's Rai-" "Rainbow Dash. Fastest flyer in Equestria." Thank you brain. "Well... yeah... how do you know my name?" "Long story." "So... Mister...." Name! " Jack. Don't have a last name. Well...I Guess I do." "And that would be?" " Fifteen. People Call me Jack Fifteen." That sounded better in my head "Odd. So! Where'd you come from?" Aw Geez... " Want my life story?" Please say no! "Sure." Shit. "Well, I grew up an Orphan, roaming the streets, Getting food from trash-cans. Sometimes getting food from nice people. Heh, I remember those days, Good people. When I was older, I Joined the marines." "Marines?" Dammit Fluttershy! "Special Military Forces. Anyway, I Joined the marines, Killing people for my country. Let's see... when I Got here, the year was 2016, So... 14 Years. 14 Years in the service. Killing men for freedom. I Sometimes get flashbacks." The doctor Notices a raised heart rate. I Scream as I Pass out. Having another flashback. The flashbacks. The nightmares. My life. My fucking shitty life. I Suppose i could start a new life here. *Flashback* I Had a promise to keep. I Wasn't going to break it for my life. Kyle had been shot. I Was going to kill the S.O.B.s who'd got him. All of them. As I sprinted to the line, I Loaded my M4 and my Glock 19. Run, I'm coming for you. "RAAAAAAAH!" I Yelled, as I stab an Enemy in the head. I love this knife, Saved my life on Many occasions. This, was another save. I take an enemy's pistol, Shoot him in the chest, and Shoot his allies. Then, A frag grenade rolls by. "SHIT!" I Think out loud. I Toss the grenade, Exploding 10 Feet away, somehow, I hadn't got hit by shrapnel. "YOU THINK YOU CAN KILL ME?! THINK AGAIN!" I Scream into a crowd. A Soldier tackles me to the ground. I Tell him Something as he's about to execute me. "Think for a second." I Say, reaching to my grenade belt. " One move. I Blow us the fuck up." I Guess he hadn't seen the Glock ,as I Quickly grab it and shoot him Twice "Now, You should have thought shouldn't you?" I Ask him. " Ye-yes." "Now, I'll give you a choice, Die slowly, Or I shoot you. Which one?" Giving him a choice to die Quickly, or die painfully. " Shoot me." Shoot him. " Good choice." I Tell him as I Take my M4 and shoot him. His brain spattered against the wall. "You. You are the one." I point at a soldier. " Vhat do you vant from me?! Money?! I Have money!" Wrong. " No. I Want money. Not that sort, But blood money." "NOOOOO" He yells as I kill him. " Rest in peace, Slimebag." *Present day. 1 Hour after pass-out* "Uuuugh" I Groan again. " Hey! Your awake!" It was Dash "Ugh Y-yeah. I'm up" I Looked at my surroundings, recognizing them as the Twilight's library. Wait library. Crap, wave of questions in 3...2...1... " So. Jack was it?" I Nodded "Okay, Jack. What planet are you from?" "Earth, Sol System." Blah. I Feel like a nerd. " Hmm. Nowhere anywhere..." " Oh it's there." Gunshot. I'd occasionally Hear those in my head ever since... years back. " You don't laugh much to you?" Peh. I Almost never laugh. " Never had the chance to." True. "Never had the chance to?" Ugh. " What's it like on 'Earth'?" " Wars. Death. Murder. Normal there." " Wars?! Death?! NORMAL!?!?" " Well yeah. We fight for anything." I Said calmly. Twilight however, was FREAKING OUT. " FIGHT?!" " Yep. I was in wars. Killed hundreds. Could kill hundreds more if I Needed to." That shocked her Dash, and Spike. " Whoa. What's the freak?" " I'm not a freak." That, stunned him. "It-it-" "Talked? Yes." Twilight? " Next Question: What do you eat?" Food. "Meat mostly." Again, shocked. " Don't worry. I Won't eat any of you." "Good." Dash said, slightly scared of me. Spike was gone. " So... It's getting late. Have anywhere to sleep?" "Nope. I Did grow up out on the streets, so I Think I can handle it." "No! I've got an extra room!" Dash yelled. " But Rainbow lives up in the clouds." I Said. "I can use a Cloud walking spell." "Right...How do I-" "I Can fly you know." Awkward? I Dunno. As Twilight used the spell on me she said " Now, this will last as long you can live." "Whoa! You can do that!?"I Half-yelled, Half-asked. "Yep. I'm one of the strongest unicorns in Equestria" Five minutes later, we were getting ready to fly. " So, Afraid of flight?" She asked. "Nope" " Good. Speed?" Sorta "Nope" Not a minute later, we were flying and I was Smiling. Smiling, I could get used to this. As we landed at Dash's house, I Could see a small blush on her face. I Threw it aside as we walked in. 'She can't be in love with an Alien. Could see? I Mean, it wouldn't be.. NO! She can't love me.' I Told myself. Wait. Feelings? Haven't had feelings for... Anything in a long time. Only to kill and kill. Gunshot. Death scream. I Shuddered at those. "You okay?" "Ye-yeah. Just... Voices of the men I've killed in my mind..." ( Yep. 8 A.M. Here. I'll be working on it at night. See ya!)
