//------------------------------// // Chapter 12 // Story: Stopping the NightMare cult // by superfunnelc //------------------------------// "Alright ponies, grab your bags, and follow me to the barracks." I said as I walked to the barracks with Omega team in tow. "Excuse, SeaBreeze are the dorms co-ed?" Asked Vinetion as she ran up beside me. "Yes, they are." I said. "What!? I have to share a room with Vinetion." Said Ice. "Yes you do." I said as we reached the barracks. "Alright ponies put your bags on a bed then follow SeaBreeze to the mess hall." Said Hercules. "Alright so this is where you will be eating your meals." I said "Now comes your first test, forging your weapons. Now follow me to the forge." Said Hercules as he lead the group to the forge. "We have everything here from ebony to permafrost." I said. "Now get to work." Said Hercules as the group set out to forge their weapons. *3 hours later* "I Like what I see here ponies." Said Hercules as we went down the line inspecting each weapon. "Ice, good work with the permafrost. Vinetion, dual ebony daggers I like it, Graze steel sword, nice, and simple, Blue Breeze steel scimitar, good. CrackShot, iron short sword good. Cross, silver war-hammer, a little bulky but good." I said. "Good work you guys, now get some dinner because tomorrow the real training begins." I said as everyone ran to get dinner. "You sure that this is going to work?" Asked Hercules. "It has too, I watch saving private Ryan, and Band of Brothers 10 times." I said as Hercules and I entered the mess hall. *6 hours later* Current time 4:00 A.M Day one of hell week "Let's go ponies!" I yelled as I blew an air horn. "What the buck!?" Yelled Graze. "Move your flanks let's go!" I yelled as everypony ran out of the barracks. "Now drop and give us 65 push-ups lets go!" Yelled Hercules as the team started doing push-ups. "Let's go move it!" I yelled. "I hate push-ups!" Said Ice. "Thanks to Ice everypony has to do 50 more push-ups after these!" I yelled. *115 push-ups later* Alright grab your weapons, and meet me in the PTR!" I said as the team went to the forge. "I think you did pretty well." Said Hercules. "Thanks." I said as we walked to the PTR. "Let's see what these ponies can do." I said as we entered the PTR. "Alright ponies form a line, and when we call your name show us what you can do." Said Hercules. "Ice your first." I said as Ice walked forward. "Alright here goes." Said Ice as massive pillars of ice shot out from the floor, and began to form giant ice ponies. "Very impressive. What do they do?" I said. "Nothing, they are just for intimidation." Said Ice. "Very well, Vine your next." I said as I took my sword and melted the ice ponies with fire. "Prepare to be amazed." Said Vine as she closed her eyes. Suddenly a giant rose bud emerged from the ground and began to thrash around with spiked tentacles. "Very good Vine. Now please could you get rid of that please?" I said as the rose bud went back into the ground. The rest of the day was filled with everypony showing off their powers like Graze and his flames, and Crack with his magic, and after that it was more physical exercise, and weapon sparring. Now I am going to skip ahead to the last few days of hell week. *Day 6 of hell week* current time 5:30 P.M. "Alright ponies now you will run 10 miles, and not take a single sip of your canteen, if you do you will run the course again." I said. "Now move out!" Yelled Hercules as the team began to run. *1 hour later* "Alright I see that you all survived, now I want you to pour your canteen out on to the ground." I said as the team emptied their canteens. "What is this?!" Yelled Hercules standing in front of Red-Cross. "I was thirsty sir." Said Red-Cross. "Thirsty does not cut it. You will run the course again during dinner!" Yelled Hercules. *1 hour later 3rd person POV* "I can't believe that I have to run 10 miles twice in one day." Wheezed Cross as Graze, Vine, Ice, and CrackShot ran beside him. "They passed." Said SeaBreeze. *the next day SeaBreeze's POV* day 7 of hell week current time 9:00 A.M. "Good morning recruits." I said waking everypony in the barracks up. "What is it today SeaBreeze?" Asked Ice. "Graduation." I said. "Now follow us, please." Said Hercules as we lead the team to the mess hall. "Now here is the armor you will be wearing, during our missions." I said pointing to 7 sets of armor that looked like SWAT armor except for ponies. "Now each of you come up, and put on your armor, and get your weapons, then meet us at the barracks. Because it's time for your first mission." Said Hercules as we put our armor on as, the rest of Omega Team did the same. *10 minutes later* "Alright ponies get in the carriage, and I will brief you on the mission." I said as we got on the carriage pulled by Dimitri. "We are all ready Dimitri." Said Hercules as Dimitri began to pull the carriage. "Alright our target is club beatz, just out side of Pony-Ville, this is one of the main income sources for the NightMare Cult, it is also the number 1 distributor of moon dust in all of Equestria. Our target is Night Beat the owner, as well as a confirmed NightMare cultist, we are to take him in alive if possible." I said. "Everypony got that?" Said Hercules. "Yes." Responded Omega Team. "Alright we have 5 minutes until we reach the club, so check your weapons, and get ready." I said. *5 minutes later* "Alright we are here." Said Hercules. "3,2,1. Go go go go!" I yelled as we rushed out of the carriage, and into the club. "Police, search warrant!" Yelled Hercules as he tossed a flash bang, which when it went off sent the entire club into a panic. "Where is Night Beat?" Said Ice. "Look there he is!" Yelled Graze. "Do not take anymore steps closer, or this pony gets it." Said Night-Beat holding a pony at knife point with his magic. "Easy, Night-Beat." I said running a hoof though my mane. *meanwhile on top of a building* "That is the signal, take the shot." Said Vine, as a bolt of magic shot out of Crack Shot's horn. *back at the club* "You do not need to do this Night." I said as a bolt of magic shot though the window, and hit Night-Beat's head square in the center, killing him instantly. "Threat down." Said Hercules picking up the knife. "Hey SeaBreeze you better come see this!" Yelled Graze. "Holy Celestia!" I said as I entered the back room where Graze was I saw mountains of packaged Moon dust. "Mission Successful." I said smiling. *end of chapter*
