//------------------------------// // Chapter 4, "I'm sneaking! Oh wait... They see me!" // Story: Walking the plains of Equestria... As a Spartan? // by Brother Uriel //------------------------------// Ok, I admit, I'm not great at sneaking. I barely got passed Applejack and Rarity who were talking about a spa, and I ran into a few ponies who looked around when they were bumped. And right now I'm doing better because of the lack of equines. Right now I'm crouching by some houses when I saw a pony I didn't think I'd get to see, The Doctor, the amount of fangirling I'm doing inside my head is huge! But what actually scared me, was that he was looking directly at me and smirking. And then he started walking over to my position, I froze and didn't dare move. He walks up right next to me and looks around, after a second of me still being frozen and him looking around, he looks back at me... Then he just pokes me, no seriously, he just poked my shoulder and I nearly lost my balance from my crouching position. He snickers then gets a serious face. "You know, you're terrible at stealth correct?" He states, to which I remain silent, still not moving, but I could barely hold back a sqee at his voice, it was David Tennets. He sighs, then gets out a sonic screwdriver, and to which I start to really sweat. If he uses that my cover will be blown, and I Really don't feel like running. He points it at me and to which I smack it out of his hoof, as it hits the ground he looks back at me and scowls. "That wasn't very nice you know!" I remain quiet as he continues to scowl at me, he reachs down it get his sonic screwdriver, and I smack his head. I'm reeeaaally going to regret doing that. His head hits the ground and he picks himslf up and starts to look really pissed. "You shouldn't have done that." As he said that, he brings up the sonic screwdriver and turns it on. It immediately takes affect on my armor, and my invisibility turns off. I look at my hands, then back at him. He's smirking at me, looking triumphant, that's when I stand up and tower over him, he notices this and instantly starts to make himself smaller. You gotta remember, in the face of a predator, most animals, when out of options, tend to cower. Even if they are Timelords, that's when something hits my helmet and lands on the ground. I look over to see a muffin on the ground, I look up to Derpy staring at me, with what I assume to be a, 'If you hurt him, I'll tear off your head, and shove it up your ass face. I stand there for a second longer, looking directly back at her, I slowly crouch down and pick up the muffin, I raise it up or her to see it fully... I then shove it in the Doctors face. Oh, she. Was. Pissed! She started to fly at me with speed that could have matched Rainbows, time seems to slow down as she flys at me, her hooves ready to strike. I then move without my brain saying so, and I do the matrix, I bend my back and avoid her completely and she flys into the wall behind me. I get back up to look over at her, she's unconscious obviously, but I couldn't help but feel bad. That's when the purple bolt of a spell hit me, I fly backwards and hit the spot were Derpy was at, and I notice she's now gone. I slide to the ground, my shield was offline, and Serenity was saying something I couldn't hear. My ears were ringing, and it was hard to concentrate, I look up to see Twilight staring daggers at me, she had her wings extended, and I think she was trying to make herself look bigger... Which I don't think it was working on me to much. I look to her side to see Rainbow with Derpy and the Doctor, the Doctor was holding Derpy in his hooves, trying to wake her up, and Rainbow was giving me the death glare. I knew when to run, and when to fight... This situation called for a retreat, I got myself to one of my knees, and I look at Twilight. I hope this would work. I pull out a frag gerenad , Serenity had made me a few on are walk here, I press the button, and toss it in front of me, she looks at it confused for a second until her eyes widen, she puts up her shield as the gerenad detonated, as you can all guess, I bolted as soon as it went off... Or rather, I stumbled until I regained my concentration and ran. I ran for awhile until I had to stop, I stood panting until I looked up. I was outside of Sugercube Corner, and I could here Pinkie singing. "Are you alright?" "Yeah Serenity, I'm fine." I look around and notice nobody around, weird, but that's good at least. "My scans are showing two broken ribs... Your lucky your not dead from all that running." I couldn't help but chuckle at that, I've never broken a bone in my life, yet here I am with now two broken ribs, Life sucks. "Well, at least we got away." I continue to catch my breath that now hurts to breathe in, until I noticed two pink hooves in front of me. I look up again to see a smiling Pinkie staring at me, look, I've seen My Little Pony, and every time she did that... It never surprised me. "Hi! Are you here because of the new brownie recipe I made?" She's looking at me with a smile that looks like it hurts. I only stare at her, then I stand up all the way again to look at her. "No, I'm trying to get through this godforsaken town without dying." I state, I then try to walk past her but she appears in front of me again. "Why? What's the matter with Ponyville? It's the nicest town in Equestria." She's looking at me with wide eyes that are full of curiosity. "Well, right now, it ain't that nice." "Why?" "Because I was shot into a wall by a Alicorn?" "Oooo! An Alicorn!?IknowanalicornhernamesTwilightandsheusedtobeponyvilleslibrarianandthenthenthelibrarywasdestroyedbyTirekandhewasabigmeanieandtookallmagicfromeveryponyandthenTwilightfoughthimandhetookherpowersandthenweallgainedpowersofFriendshipandwetransformedanddefeatedTirek!" She takes in a long lungful of air before breathing out again, she then smiles at me. If you all could see my face... It was complete shock at how she did that, I swear she doesn't need air, and only does it for show. "Um... Yeah, she attacked me." Oh I just fucked up. "Why'd she attack you? She wouldn't have attacked you unless you did something she didn't like, and everypony knows not to make her upset." "Well, you see-" I didn't get to finish my sentence until she gasped and glared daggers at me. "Now I remember! You were the one Celestia told Twilight to watch out for because he's dangerous!" I did the only thing I could think of... "Ok you got- OH MY GOD! WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!" I point behind her and she instantly turns around, to only see nothing, she turns back only to see me running away. "HEY! THATS NOT NICE!" She yells, but I didn't give two flying fucks, and I kept running, I ran until I had run out of the town, and I didn't stop until I was a good distance away, I stopped and started panting again. "Your going to get yourself killed you know." Serenity states, and to which I don't respond to. I stand up straight again, and continue on. I take out the map and look at it, by the looks of things, I was going the right way. But I should be careful, I don't want to get caught. I look around to see just plain grassy fields, man, this reminds me of home. I really wish I hadn't come here, to this world, it fucking sucks... But I have to admit, this place is nice, I mean, everything seems fresh, and clean, and colorful. Well, maybe this world won't actually be that bad. -1 hour later- So I found the town, it's a quaint little town. Most it's inhabitants are ponys, but, I did see a few griffins, a Minotaur, and a Zebra. Then I saw a bat pony, she was walking through the street heading into a forest that was nearby. If you're thinking, 'hey, what's the name of the town?' How should I know? I can't fucking read the gibberish they have as letters. I watched her as she walked by some stalls selling fruits and vegetables, and then, I started to follow her, I only saw one bat pony after about thirty minutes of watching the town. So it must be her, so I have to keep an eye on her, but I guess she got the feeling of being watched, she turned around and looked at the bushs I was in, she stared at my location before looking away and shrugging, she continued on, and I stayed a good distance behind her. We traveled for about, twenty minutes until we ended up in the middle of a clearing in the forest, she looks both ways, then uncovers some grass to reveal a hatch, I watch intently as she opens it up and goes inside, after about five minutes, I follow in after her. The place was dark and I couldn't see anything, I was walking down stairs for a minute before I hit metal flooring. "I'm going to turn on night vision" Serenity states, and after a few seconds, everything becomes a light green haze and I can see around me, I look left, then right, to see two hallways. I think for a second before I go down the left one, I walk down the hallway until I see a door on the side, I go over to it and see that it has a keypad like from the one you see in the first Halo game, and the door looks like the ones from it too. I go over to it and reach down to press the keypad. "Stop!" My hand hovers over the keypad as Serenity yelled that. After a second, the keypad glows green and the door opens. "I hacked it, next time, wait for me to tell you to touch things." I roll my eyes and continue into the room, I could tell there was a lot of stuff in here, I look around and see a light switch, I walk over to it and try my luck, I flick it to 'on' and the lights in the room blink for a second before Turning on. Oh. My. God! The room was filled with weapons on racks, there were Assault Rifles, DMR's, Battle Rifles, Magnums, SMG's, Sniper Rifles, Spears, Swords, Gerenads, Axes, Fucking Flamethrowers and Machine Guns! Rocket Launchers, and Gerenad launchers. Oh baby,I died and went to heaven! I run over to the racks and look at them all, they look so beautiful! I go over to a Sniper Rifle and pick it up, and I look at it. Oh my god I think I'm gonna cry, I start to cradle it like a baby. "Ahem" I freeze, "You know, you look really pathetic right now." I roll my eyes at Serenity and Continue to cradle the Rifle, my Rifle, yes, it's mine now! No one else's! All mine! All of them are mine! So I do the one thing everyone loves doing... I suit up, I take off the cloak and roll it up, I then proceed to take any weapon I think is worth carrying, which is. Another Magnum, a Gerenad Launcher, An Assault Rifle, that beautiful Sniper Rifle, Two SMG's, a Sword that looks like a katana, and a few more Gerenads. I'm about to leave when I see a necklace on a table, it was obviously a work table with all the guns scattered on it, but the necklace looks out of place. I walk over to it and pick it up, it's a necklace with a black and White Scythe on it, weird... But fucking cool looking! I take off my helmet and put it around my neck, I hear a voice as I put it on and I nearly shit myself. “I’m Lee Connors, or if you’d like, Venom. If you need a mostly-friendly superhero to help you save the day, then I’m here. I’ll help when you need me.” I look around and realize that it's from the necklace. I seriously think that's fucking cool, and I made a note to keep in mind that if I need help, somebody's got my back I'm about to put my helmet back on when I think of something, I go over to a roll of tape and take a piece off, I then look around until I found a pen, I write my name and put it on the back of me helmet. "So that's your name... I like it." I smile at Serenity, then I place the helmet back on pandora walk out of the room. And I know now, that Equestria's gonna know about me after this... And my name is gonna go down in history books... My names Kent, and I'm gonna make sure Gravemind stays where he is.
