Ghosts of the Past

CHAPTER 1: When the Dead Walk

"What if I told you that the dead could live again, fight like they did in life, and make others truly dead. They can hunt down their enemies and defend who they love. It is possible that they could never die. I should know, I'm one of them.

"You have questions? Well answers are gonna take a while longer. So lets start with the basics, my name. I just tell you what my friends and soon to be dead enemies call me, Ghost. Thats all you need to know, for now. You'll find out everything else after I tell you my story. It began a few weeks ago..........

"I'll get you roach hang on." I screamed as Roach fell to the ground. They were there to find a man named Makaroth and take him into custody. What they found was not Makaroth but vidle information on his plans. "Thunder Two-One. I've popped red smoke in the treeline! Stand by to engage on my mark!" We were going to make it home. "Thunder Two-One clear HOT!" I dragged roach to were the Chopper was landing while he shot the Russian forces tailing us. Then the chopper came and rained fire on the Russians with two gatling guns on each side. We were safe. "Come on get up. UP, UP. We're almost there." I carried him to the chopper and I saw Shepherd step out to greet us. I found this odd, but figured he wanted to congratulate use on a good find.

"Do you have the DSA?" asked Shepherd.

"We got it sir" I said calmly

"Good, thats one less loose end." I was about to question what he meant by that when I saw a streak of silver and a fountain of blood come out of roach.

"NO." I screamed, but I was to late. As I turned to fire at the traitor I also took a bullet. I faded out for a time after that and awoke by roach's body with a wet sensation on me. I was about to scream "Gasoline" but I was to drained of energy to muster it. Then I saw the flames as they swallowed up roach. They walked away and left us to burn. When they got on the plane I got a burst of adrenaline. I rolled out of the fire and since it was a liquid fire it soon ran out of energy to stay on. Roach was not so lucky. He was badly burned when I got to him. When I checked the pulse, nothing. The only reason I lived was because they didn't pour to much gasoline on me and the mask let me breath without fumes getting in my lungs.

"You'r wondering how I survived the bullet to the head right. Well it didn't get shot in the head. The moron missed and hit me in the shoulder. He wasn't a soldier, couldn't even make his mark at point blank. Even the gasoline missed me and mainly hit Roach. Only a bit of it got on me and they quickly died. After that I vowed the same would happen to Shepherd, but a lot slower."

"As I walked off with Roaches dog tags. "I'll make sure his family gets these" he thought. "I won't tell them how he was betrayed by his own men.". Then came the light. That blinding light that sucked me downward. Then black.

"Are you okay?" said a scared voice.

"Yeah, what happened?" I looked up to see a crowed, of ponies. When I got up I saw them retreat to safety.

"Halt, you are under arrest." said a approaching royal like guard.

"Are you kidding me. You'r a pony, how can you talk." he approached him when the guard attacked with a sword. I sidestepped him and punched him in the back of the head, he was out cold. The crowd screamed," Oh my you killed him.".
Then the rest came. The guards circled around me. Ready to take me down.

ATTAAAAACK!
