//------------------------------// // Planning for the first strike. // Story: My Little SCP // by SolidFerret //------------------------------// "That's quiet the name. Wanna tell me what a guard was doing at the facility?" Roberts asked. "I was... rouge. And I had met the ponies, six of them I should say, that lived here." Suddenly Ricca shot up. "They live here. And we're here." Levernz looked at him. "Yeah, we got here when..." "SCP-001." "What!?" Ricca looked at them. "Get whatever men that are here. I know what brought us here." "Got it." Charlie went to tell the Princess to get the others. "Why?" "Why what?" Ricca asked. Roberts looked at him and asked, "Why get the others?" Ricca stared at him through his mask and said, "They need to know what happened. I'm practically the one who brought us here." "What in the hell do you mean?" Levernz asked. "I'll tell you." "You better." A female voice said. They both spun around to see Princess Celestia and a baby dragon clutching her leg as if he was hiding from them. Spike ran with tears in his eyes. All of them. Every single pony that he knew and made friends with had been taken and locked up in the prison made in Ponyville. The only thing he could cling to was the words of that one guy who seemed more like he was good then bad like the rest of them. "Spike!" Spike looked up to Princess Celestia riding in a carriage. It landed in front of him. Celestia saw the look on Spikes' face and heard all of the noise coming from the town. "I'm to late." She hung her head in defeat. Spike ran and hugged her leg. "It's awful. Twilight got really sick when they took her." He sobbed more as he remembered the memory. Princess Celestia was about to take off when something caught her eye. There laid a man with a white uniform on. Something about him seemed familiar to her. Thats when she remembered. He was described by Fluttershy as the man that saved her and her friends. Celestia saw his wounds and used her magic to heal them. "Why are you helping him?" Spike asked. "I know him. He's a good man Spike." "No he's not. There are people just like him at Ponyville who locked my friends up." "But there others who are different. They are at Canterlot." "You made friends with them!" "Not all. Just those with good intentions." She assured Spike as she placed the man in the carriage. "So what about him?" Spike asked with a sniff. "He will be okay." That was all Celestia said as she and Spike rode off to Canterlot. "Evers! We land in five." Evers gave a thumbs up as he looked at the town. It seemed so peaceful that it hurt. He was going to have to "contain" these ponies. He didn't want this. What he wanted was to be with his team. He only saw four of them. Did really half of his team get wiped out in the breach? It didn't seem real to him. Evers saw ponies running out of houses to see what the noise was. He couldn't imagine what was going through their minds. He landed and was instantly ordered to 'contain' any pony he sees. But he watched as mobile crates were out down by ospreys and ponies were thrown into them. Some fought. But a big red pony kicked a guy with his back hoofs. Not two seconds later, he was being dragged cause his hind hoofs were both shot. Evers rounded up with two others and was ordered to subdue a pony that was standing by a dragon. But as he and the others went over, he saw her getting pale. By the time he reached her, she had fallen over and was coughing blood. Evers took her and got her. He heard one of his comrades yelling at the dragon. When he got the unicorn to her cell, he ran back to see the little dragon running away in tears. "I'm sorry." He whispered. He was shocked to see the dragon turn around and look at him. As if he heard him. Evers stared back at him with a look of sorrow before the dragon turned around and ran. Another MTF ran up behind him. It was the same one that yelled at the dragon. "I found SCP-1025. I think that unicorn read out of it." "You didn't have to yell." Evers simply said as he walked away. Ricca looked at the crowd below. Several ponies looked at him. A mixture of fear and waiting for answers. The few MTF's compared to the ones that left were right behind him. "I know you're all wondering how we got here? Well I'll tell you. It started at the facility I worked for. We had a containment breach of all SCP's. An SCP is an anomalous artifact or living thing. Such examples include SCP-173 ,our original, who can only move when no one is looking at it. If you aren't then it will kill you. There are for more but we don't know where they are here. As far is Ponyville goes, that whole town is in lockdown. Everypony there is in crates. Odds are they will be used for testing on the SCP's they have contained." An uproar started in the crowd. All wondering about their loved ones in Ponyville. "But we are working on a plan to get them free. It's a slow process but we'll get there." Ricca concluded his speech. "Are you crazy? We are out numbered, out gunned, and out matched. We can't go against them." Charlie bickered. "But we can plan. If they are keeping watch of that place, then all they have to is defend. We can plan tactical strikes. If we're lucky, we can get them when they least expect it." "Ricca, we need a better plan then just luck. And we know that these ponies aren't going to fight." "Well what do you have?" "We need recon. We can easily go at night and learn some things." Ricca looked at Charlie. "You stick to your plan. I'll stick to mine." "Ricca, if you send men in right away, it won't end well." Charlie warned. "Well we'll see who's plan works." Ricca turned around and waved around two fingers together. "To any men willing to fight, come with me." About 50 of the 200 men volunteered, including MTF-Alpha 4. Charlie shook his head as they walked out to the Ospreys and helicopters. "Alright men! This is our first step to taking back Ponyville. Now lets get out there and show the MTF's that we're not with them. We're rouge!" "WAIT!" Celestia cast a spell on any humans in Canterlot. Soon, their fatigues were each given an arm band that had the roya flag that had Celestia and Luna on their sun and moon. "Good idea. We'll identify friendlies this way." Ben said as he showed Ricca the way to the armory in the Osprey. Ricca whistled as he noticed the guns. A wide selection of handguns. He picked up a Beretta and put it in his holster. He went over looking over guns before choosing an H&K MP5. "Nice choice. Never been much of a shooter." Ben commented. "A spotter?" "I guess." Ben said sheepishly. "Well then," Ricca gave Ben a pair of binoculars that had night vision and thermal vision. "Spot for us." Ben gave a nod. "Will do." "Good. Now lets arm up and ship out." Ricca looked over to the pilot of the osprey. "Are we ready?" A female voice responded, "Fueled up and ready on your go Ricca." "Got it miss..." "Reid." "Got it."
