//------------------------------// // Chapter 2 // Story: Battlefield Friends Equestrian Adventure // by Gauge Runner //------------------------------// "Hey guys!" Simon yelled as the four soldiers ran up to him. "We have to hurry!" Thick yells as he gets into the front seat of the helicopter. "What's going on?" Simon questions. "Neebs and Simon! Take the Mrap back to base!" Appsro yells as he Thick and Doraleous take off in the helicopter. "Neebs whats's going on" Neebs jumps into the driver seat of the armored vehicle. "No time to explain, but get in!" Simon hops into the passenger seat and with that they drive into the forest. "Simon would you believe me if I told you we were in another world?" Neebs asked."Are you saying were in a different world! That's so awesome!" Simon yelled while looking out at the forest they were traversing through. ______________________________________________ Back in Ponyville Celestia and Luna were explaining to the elements what humans were and why they needed to capture the four. "They were war mongers that killed their own kind for their own need's." Celestia explained while shaking her head. "And we were unfortunate enough to have a run in with some humans long ago" Luna added. "Wait, so your'e saying these are not the first humans in Equestria?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I'm afraid not. When the first humans appeared they seemed friendly enough, but that was until they started attacking random villages and murdering all who lived their" Celestia said grimacing at the way they slaughtered without second thought. "How did you git rid of those nasty things then?" Applejack asked. "We never vanquished the humans, they just disappeared" "So your'e saying they just ditched Equestria after attacking it?" Rarity Inquired. "That's not the case here. When one of our scouts found their base we investigated it. It was in ruins. Somebody set it on fire, we assumed the humans did this but most of their belongings were still in the fire" "So, what are we going to do about these new humans? They didn't seem so bad as you described them Princess" Twilight asked. "That's the part that scared me. When they first got here they seemed like really nice people, but when their true intentions shined, it was a nightmare" Celestia said. "We also speculated the same events might unfold again. They show up, befriend us, cause destruction and then leave" Luna Added. "Well I guess that explains the royal guards" Rainbow Dash said looking at all of the clone like ponies, they all held spears and wore golden armor. "We have tracked the humans location with our magic" Luna said while putting her hooves on her head. "Though it is putting a strain on our mind, it seems they are travelling at high speeds" "We shall be going now. Elements follow us" Celestia said. ____________________________________________ "WOOOOOOOOOOOOO" Both Simon and Neebs yelled. They were blaring down one of the roads within the Everfree forest while yelling profusely. "Shut the fuck up!" Appsro yelled over their communications, clearly annoyed at the two support's antics. The Transport chopper that held Appsro, Doraleous and Thick were not to far ahead from Neebs and Simon. "Oh my god were going so fast right now!" Simon yelled while laughing. As they continued to let out their cry's of joy they failed to notice an oncoming ravine. "Hey Neebs!" Simon yelled still laughing. "Yeah bud! What is it!?" Neebs yelled. "I think that's a ravine right there!" Simon said pointing at the massive hole in the ground. "Oh yeah that is a raaaaaaaaaaaavvviiiinnneee!" Both Neebs and Simon screamed for their lives as they fell into the unknown. "Holy fucking shit!" Doraleous yelled as he saw the armored vehicle disappear into the mist below. "Are they okay?" Thick said. The helicopter stopped over the ravine and looked down. "Should we go do-" A blue light beam hit the side of their helicopter like a small rocket. "What the fuck was that!" Appsro yelled desperately trying to land the transport chopper. Another beam hit, this time it almost destroyed the helicopter. "Fuck! everyone get out!" Appsro yelled. Thick and Doraleous didn't need to be told a second time as they followed close behind them. The helicopter exploded and sent the three of them flying. As they groggily got up they noticed they were in front of an old abandoned castle. Once they got up the looked behind them to see two flying horses. Celestia and Luna channeled their magic together and shot out a brilliant beam of white and blue. It hit Appsro square in the chest. He was sen't flying about ten meters. Thick and Doraleous rushed two his side, quickly getting him up. Amazingly enough no damage had been done to Appsro, he seemed just fine. Luna and Celestia looked at each other it confirmed their fears, they were immune to magic. Luna and Celestia landed graciously followed by twenty pegasi. Only Pegasi were fast enough to keep up with the humans. "Surrender thyselves!" Luna yelled in the Canterlot voice. The three soldier gripped their weapons tightly knowing this could be a hard battle. "Okay guys i'm certain we can do this!" Thick reassured them holding his g18 tightly. "Should we really kill them?" Appsro asked looking at his comrades. "Are you saying we should negotiate with them?" Doraleous said looking at Appsro. "Well i don't wan't to sound like a pussy here but where the fuck are we supposed to go?" Thick and Doraleous looked at each other not knowing where Engineer was going with this. " We'll be outlaws in this place! We still know nothing about this place, aside from a few books" "Who's going to negotiate with them then?" Doraleous asked. Appsro looked at Thick."What! Why me!" "Because your'e the least intimidating out of us" Appsro reminded. "Wait, really?" "It doesn't matter just go!" Doraleous said motioning him towards the two deity's and twenty guards. Thick dropped his rifle and walked towards the princesses with his hands raised. "HALT!" One of the guards yelled. "Your'e lucky we don't kill you were you stand human!" Luna growled. "Look" Thick started. "I don't know what got you all riled up so fucking much, but I think we deserve an explanation!" Thick almost yelled. Luna and Celestia looked at each other and talked using their magic so only they could hear. "It seems they don't know" Celestia said while looking at the humans. "They could be devising a trap" Luna said while looking at the humans with a cold gaze. "Before we can make any plans of peace, we must confiscate their weapons" "Are you seriously going to take their plans of peace! After what they did!?" Luna said, making Celestia flinch a bit. "When I look into this ones eyes, I see confusion and fear" Celestia said while looking at Thick with empathy. Making him raise a brow. "Ugh, fine! But if they try anything, they will answer me" Luna said while walking over to Thick but stopped a couple of meters away from him. "Humans! We accept your peace! But for now you will come with us! We will also take your weapons for the time being!" Appsro and Doraleous threw their rifles, pistols in front of the princess of the night, and followed by Thick. Luna raised a brow when she looked at Appsro waist where their appeared to be a metal cylinder. "We said all of your weapons" Luna reminded him sternly. "Yeah! This isn't a weapon" He looked at her grumpily. Appsro, Doraleous and Thick were being 'escorted' out of the forest with spears aiming at them the entire time. But what they failed to notice two other humans climbing out of the ravine. Once the humans and princesses reached Ponyville they were swarmed with paparazzi. A flash of light going off in the humans face's every three seconds. The agreement for the weapons being confiscated was that if Luna took their weapons they didn't get cuffed. Which led to Appsro smacking a camera out of a ponies hooves or a unicorns magical grasp. Once they reached town hall, there was a table set up for them were they could be seated. When Appsro, Doraleous got comfy in their seats the two Alicors approached them sitting on the opposite side of the table. Celestia was the first to start the conversation. "Now I'd like to begin by saying-" "That your'e a complete fucking asshole" Appsro said leaning back in his chair, his snarky attitude returning. He got a couple of *gasps* from the ponies that were watching the spectacle. "Watch your tongue you ve!-" Celestia raised her hoof against Luna chest. "That is enough Luna" Celestia said giving her a stern look. Luna sat back in her seat, not one to go against her sister. "As I was explaining I would like to apologize for the earlier attack and furthermore I believe we owe you an' explanation" "Your'e goddamn right we deserve an' explanation after the shit you pulled!" Thick yelled getting up out of his chair, glaring at Celestia. "But before we can explain could we start by introducing ourselves" Celestia started. "I am Pri-" "Yeah we know who you are!" Appsro interrupted. "I was in a library reading about this weird place. That is until somebody deemed us evil!" Appsro said. "I guess i'll start" Thick said gaining the attention of the ponies in the room. "My name is Thick and i'm a recon" Thick said. "Tell me what does it mean to be recon?" Luna asked anger replaced with curiosity. "Well I help scout enemy troops and snipe, oh and also lock onto vehicles with my soflam" Luna was did not understand half the things Thick said but nodded otherwise. The ponies head turned to the next soldier. "I'm Appsro and i'm a Engineer" Knowing that they weren't going to get anything out of Appsro they continued onto Doraleous. "My name is Doraleous and i'm assault. What this means is that i'm usually at the front line's due to my rifle being more powerful then these guy's here. And I also revive fallen teammates. Celestia looked over the three of them. "Where's the fourth?" Luna asked. "We got separated" Appsro quickly responded. Lying. "Well i'd like to say that you aren't them" Celestia said. The three raised a brow at her. "The reason we attacked was a thousand years ago humans attacked out cities and pillaged them, leaving no survivors, but after a month they disappeared" Celestia looked at Luna motioning for her to continue. "When they reappeared a little over a hundred years later, they seemed nice and quickly gained our trust but. They attacked villages relentlessly we thought for sure you were going to be the same one's again. "So that's why you attacked us?" Doraleous said. "And yes,but i'd like to apologize again for my actions again" Celestia said bowing her head. "I'm not one to hold a grudge, it seems humans gave you quite the plate to handle. I can forgive you" Appsro said followed by Thick and Doraleous. "I'd like to discuss about the fourth soldier" Luna said gaining their attention. "Don't worry about him, hell most likely walk out of that forest in a day or two" Celestia and Luna both looked at each other and nodded. "We are going to post a couple guards here to inform us of their arrival but right now would you three come with us to Canterlot?" Luna asked. "Why?" Thick asked. "We would like to learn more about your kind. Because it has obviously advanced a lot last time we saw" Celestia said. While it took some convincing to tell Appsro he wasn't going to fall out of the carriage her got on it. As they were flying towards Canterlot Appsro looked back at the forest. knowing fully well Neebs and Simon survived.
