Prototype: Friends until the bitter end

by Carmine Prophet


Going back

Three weeks later Ponyville noon lunch hour


“Hi twilight!” Rarity called to her friend who had just come with spike to an outdoor restaurant. That had a view of a park.


“hi ya gals” Rainbow dash said as she arrived and soon the rest of the mane six had met up at the restaurant.


‘Ring’


“Looks like schools out and it looks like the kids are going to the park for lunch.” Flutershy said seeing the filly’s and colts playing in the playground in the park or eating with their parents or friends.


“Well who can blame them it is a beautiful say out nice job dash.” Appeljack said


“Aah!” Rarity squealed after feeling rub agents her leg gaining strange looks form the other mares. Looking down she saw Jack nuzzling his head agenized her leg. Now with a white and purple collar and next to the name tag there was the Blackwatch symbol complete with the silver wings.


“What is it Rarity?” Spike asked. But then Jack jumped onto the table with a thud.


“Jack? Whatever are you doing away from Raptor?” Fluttershy said.


“What are you looking at Boy?” Pinkie asked and aligned herself to see until Jack jumped off of the table and ran off to the park where it saw Sweetie Bell and her friends.


“Look its Raptor!” a young colt yelled to his friend cloud enough for everypony to here. And they saw Quann followed By the rest of his guards but his guards didn’t have their masks, goggles, or hoods on. His guards were following him in two parallel lines.


They got a big enough area of the park they all sat down and took out Some MRE’s and started eating them. Doc went around and gave water to any pony who needed it. Cooper walked over to mech who was tinkering with something while he was eating.


“What is that Corporal?” Cooper asked


“Well sir it is a motion tracker that will register up to fifty-five meters.” The brown unicorn said.


“Interesting. But what will stop the user from confusing a Friendly form a hostile?” Cooper asked.


“Well sir what it will do is it will pick up trace pheromone singles only given off by a hostel.” Doc said And Doc walked over.


“But if it goes off of pheromones then what will stop it from picking up others that are giving off the same single but not hostel?” Doc asked.


“That is where our training comes in.” Quann said walking up


“All that’s left is to charge the battery.” Mech said as he horn glowed silver and they all saw the screen turn on and start pulsing and they all saw that it worked just as Mech said and it registered no hostiles.


‘burp!’


“Twilight it’s a letter from your Brother.” Spike said holding it up.


‘flash’


A red letter appeared in front of Quann who levitated it with his crimson magic. The letter was written with a type writer meaning it was mass produced.


“This is a general order going out to all members of the royal guard, and the wonder bolts. Princess Celestia is ordering all forces to Canterlot, a threat has been made and the wedding between princess Mia Mora Cadenza. And to troopers the now officially instated Blackwatch Army Rangers this is priority alpha.” Quann read


“Well you heard the letter People let’s move it out! Double time!” Quann shouted and they all got up and sprinted back to compound. Leaving every pony wondering what was going on.


When they reached the compound all you could here was the sound of armor being put on and weapons being prepped. Quann stepped in front of his line of troopers with Jack on his back and inspected them all first was Privet Doc who was squad medic and was equipped with a copy of Quanns shotgun that he carried alongside various medical supplies, next to him was privet first class Crysoch who was one of the quote ‘Riflemen’ who were equipped with the newest version of their special crossbows, next up was lance corporal Mech who was the squad’s tech specialist with holding the same crossbow and had the new motion tracker around his shoulder and a biretta pistol on his hind left leg that was given to him by Cooper who had his sidearm copied.


Next to Mech were the support gunners Privet Shock Jock who had scratched “Born to kill” on his right shoulder piece and Privet Cowboy. They were armed with an experimental crossbow that was capable of fully automatic fire by storing bolts in cylinders that acted like magazines and would rotate to switch the next bolt when the last one was shot and unlike the other crossbows these held seventy-five bolts unlike the other new crossbows thirty.


Then next to them was the only mare in the group Privet second-class Heart Stop. She was squad sniper and as such was given another experimental weapon that was essentially a sniper rifle in crossbow form and unlike the others the bolts she shot was a little over an inch thick. But that meant she had to feed each Bolt one at a time and the Crossbow had some kick to it.


Next was privet call sign Ash. A green earth pony who was another ‘riflemen’, next was a unicorn Privet Frost who again was a ‘riflemen’, and last was a grey Pegasus Privet Gunnfodder who was the heavy weapons specialist and was the user of the newest weapon that only he and now Quann used instead of his javelin that he mounted on the V-tol.


The A-239 Flame unit or Incinerator, the production of witch was over seen and known only to Quann. It is a lightweight, riffle-style flamethrower designed for use in close combat at the squad and fire team level. It works with a dumbed down version of the V-tol’s engines whereas instead of producing thrust the magic in the air is turned to a gas after being condensed, the built up heat is released upon trigger pull creating a torrent of flames upon the target.



And the part Quann decided to add to the designee was where you would normally load a magazine if it was an assault-rifle, or Blackwatch crossbow was a canister where upon the pull of the secondary trigger. Would come into contact with the pilot flame positioned under the barrel and will fire highly concentrated napalm up to thirty feet, sticking to targets and burn them alive. And it only just finished production.


Next to Privet Gunnfodder was Seargent Major Cooper call sign Reaper. Who carried his M4A2 assault carbine, his Side arm that had gone unused since his and Quanns arrival, and on his other shoulder he had had a freshly made copy of Mech’s motion tracker around his shoulder and extra magazines for his M4. But unlike before he had Quanns shotgun witch he cut the stock off of under his left wing for easy access. And extra shells for that to.


And in front of them all was Quann or Prince Raptor, but to his troopers he was First lieutenant Raptor. With his signature SAW on his right shoulder and on the other he had his Incinerator unit. On both of his shoulders and just under the cutie mark on either one of his flanks he had one extra magazine for his SAW and next to them on both sides of them were two canisters of napalm. And last but not least what kind of demolitions expert would be without some C4 plastic explosive and several sticks of semtex witch was the same as C4 but more explosive.


Across his and every one of the troopers chests were grenade bandoleer’s holding frag, smoke, and flash bang grenades. Nodding after tightening a strap on Ashes armor he levitated ten new patches and fused one onto each one of their chests. On the patches was the gold star with the silver blockish wings across the top in a half circle going down was the word Blackwatch and under the star in the same way going up was Air-born Ranger. After each one of them got the patch he levitated one to himself and fused it to his armor. They all saluted him and he returned it.


“Well. . .let’s move it out people. Move it out!” Quann yelled causing them to run into the newly armored V-tol. And take their seats and stow there weapons on the weapon racks.


As the V-tol air craft lifted off the new armor plating they added proved to have been properly attached now no longer was it as sleek but is had sweeping Angeles and now had the two attached javelin rockets to the sides effectively making it a light gunship. The craft turned for Canterlot and rocketed off towards the capital of equestria.
