//------------------------------// // Bombs a fallin'... Death's a callin'! // Story: What Defines A Soul? // by The Joeker //------------------------------// I jumped the wall of the 4th base I've taken out I started sprinting, this place even had sirens somehow... Suddenly the timer on my interface beeped. (start the first vid first and then the second straight after its finished to get the timing correct) And suddenly... I was thrown by the force of the blast because I wasn't far away enough. I felt the radioactive wind go rushing over me and suddenly it all went black... -£rr0r... c0nn£cttttt111ng... coooooon£ct10n £stttta6l1sh£d...- -Earlier... Fillydelphia... time... 0900 hours...- Ok... so I'm now in Philadelphia, but it's spelt Fillydelphia, maybe the ponies rename every city they capture, it looked like Victorian maybe... early era Philadelphia? I still have no clue what time period it is, I've overheard conversations of the last 2 bases I've taken out of a 'Discord' who sounds like a God to these, but I've never caught a glimpse of the humans saying it... or any humans for that matter... weird... maybe they use camo like me... but that would contradict the Medieval/Victorian setting... I've also heard talk of a resistance movement against this so-called 'god'. As I snuck through the streets I Assassin's Creed'd that shit and hid in hay piles... something that proved a problem at one point as a pony stated to munch through it and I had to escape out of the opposite side of the stack. You'd be surprised to know that these people/ponies keep the ingredients for building nukes lying around their shops... seriously though, it astounds me. I crept through the backstreets to get to where I was going... town center, I'll give you 3 guesses why... -Meanwhile, in the Base of The Two Sisters(the castle isn't built yet and it's in a secret location)- "Sister! another enemy stronghold hath been obliterated with none of thy or civilian casualties alike, whomever this pony is, he or she is immensely dangerous thy sister, but luckily enough on our side, we request a small platoon to accompany us to the site to find any evidence." said Luna "We need thou here thy sister, to help us coordinate our army-" *ground shakes* "Your highnesses! Fillydelphia has been blown up!" said the Captain. The two sisters looked at each other. "With 100% enemy casualties, all of our ponies were freed by an unknown force." said the Private who ran in with him. "Hmm, this 'unknown force' is very powerful... to simply explode something..." said Luna. "Indeed... we must find out who this pony is." said Celestia. -Present time...- Suddenly I woke up, in the same location I passed out in, I had to get out of there. I got up and ran from Ground Zero of my latest attack against these bastards. I plant the bomb in town centers so I have access to all escape routes, but this time I misplaced it, I only had one exit that was sealed off... -30 minutes ago, Baltimore Baltimare- As I turned around I saw a whole army of ponies between me and the exit... the only exit... I unsheathed my sword and held it by my side, the flat of the blade facing in front and behind me. I leapt into the air and impaled a pony through his back. I then spun around and cut another's head off as they started to attack me. I dodged hoof and hindleg alike as I cut a swath through the horde, opting to wall run and parkour where I could. I was surrounded on all sides but I was managing to fight with grace. -On a building above, Captain Lucky Horseshoe's POV- As I watched the fight unfold, I couldn't properly see the one who was fighting against the crazies, but the way he wielded that strange sword was like art... the way he was cutting through the buckers like they were nothing! If he was on our side the Princesses would love to meet him! he has the grace of a Pegasus in flight, the patience and level headedness of an Alicorn, the knowledge of pony anatomy and where to hit is like a unicorn and the strength of an Earth Pony! He also managed to free our soldiers and some civilians who survived, he was doing what he could to help us! I instantly flew away to alert the Princesses of this... -Present time- "Computer, check infections." I said, I'd also played around with the computer's commands a little so I know what to say now. "None, radiation has been implemented in lead lined darts for use." it said. "Cool." I said and kept walking to my next target. I didn't even know both sides of the story... well too late now, I've already blown up one sides bases, looks like I chosen my side... Apparently the resistance leaders are Celestia and Luna, both Princesses, but 'pretenders' to Discord minions, I read some book written and it appears that they are the rightful rulers by bloodline, born to King Cosmos and Queen Galaxia, but Discord stole it out from under them, from what I've read states Discord is somewhat of a Demigod, that may be but I've yet to meet something that can outsmart a cannon shot... Oh yeah I found out I have this awesome cannon! I think it's a Vulcan Cannon! sweet! As I walked I noticed I was in a forest and decided to test something... I jumped into the trees and let instinct take over, I jumped from branch to branch like a lemur or whatever and kept moving, enjoying myself on the way to my next target. -Meanwhile- "Your majesties!" said Horseshoe as he literally lay down on the floor in front of the sisters. "Go ahead thy guard, what news hath you?" asked Celestia. "I saw the one responsible for eliminating Discord's bases your highness, he blew up Baltimare! but on his way out, he used a strange sword, and he was eliminating Discords forces like it was nothing!" he said, both sisters looked at each other. "He has magic?" asked Luna. "I do not know your highness, he didn't seem to use a magic field to wield the weapon." said the Captain. "Hmm, I-" started Celestia. "Your majesties! forgive my interruption, but the scavengers for the supplies to build the castle are back!" he said. "And? how is this important enough for an interruption?" asked Luna. "Because, they said they dropped the bag and it got surrounded by crazies, and they left it so they wouldn't be followed back here, but the bag was placed outside of our base in front of the men, with this note:" said a guard as the Princesses levitated it to read it. -10 minutes ago- As I leapt from branch to branch I noticed two ponies walking along, suddenly they were attacked by crazies and dropped some kind of really heavy bag that they had to carry between them. I saw the crazies watch them run and took my chance, I activated my camo and jumped down, picked up the bag no problem and jumped back into the trees, when they turned around the look the gave was hilarious as I jumped after the ponies, I found them running to a massive underground energy signature that must lead to the rebels base... hell, I sound like Darth Vader if I say that out loud. I wrote out a letter as they ran toward m and dropped the bag in front of them as they descended the stairs into the base. -Meanwhile, the Princesses started reading the letter- 'Dear Your Royal Highnesses Princess Celestia & Princess Luna' 'Here are the supplies your guards dropped, I give them to you in good faith. If ever you wish to set up a meeting, leave a note outside of your base, ' 'Yours Faithfully' 'Gray Fox'
