The First World - Call of Duty.
My name is Ivan. I am an old Russian man that got sucked in that damn Third World War. The village where I lived got attacked by Chinese bombers, the village was destroyed, but some people were still alive and ran for their dear life. So did I. After couple of weeks, when I got to the capital, I joined Russian Army and became a scout. I was sent in the Chinese forest near their army base to keep a lookout for their actions. I got an old house in a middle of a forest and lived there for a couple of days and fortunately, haven't got attacked. Yet.
It was the fifth day in my new house. I got back and reported all stuff that those Chinese did today. After I was finished I just laid on my bed thought about stuff. About my miserable life, family, work. How perfect my life was before. Also I listened to the birds, the noises they make and footsteps in my house. Wait. Footsteps? I quickly grabbed my gun and pointed it at the doorway. Four different noises, two people.
"Just enough for UAV" I murmured. Then I heard a voice. Female voice.
"Hello! Is anypony in here?" she yelled.
Wait... Anypony? Really? I quickly shook that away and concentrated on the door. Any second now...
And then I saw her and shoot, but missed. She gasped and ran away.
"What the heck was that thing?" I said to nothing and quickly stood up and ran after her.
I found her lying in the corner, shaking. I was speechless. A talking pony and most importantly a unicorn! Is it me going insane or Chinese scientists are doing mad experiments? God knows. Is she hostile? Probably not considering that fear of a bullet, so I decided to be friendly and said
"Umm, hello?".
The reaction was instant. She jumped and tried to run away, but I grabbed her tail. She started kicking me in the face with her hind legs and screamed in terror. Eventually I was knocked out unconscious.
After I woke up, surprisingly, I didn't feel any pain. The first words that came to my mind were:
"What the hell happened?".
"Oh, you woke up, sorry for what I did back then".
It took a moment for me to realise that I said those words aloud. I got up from my bed and looked at her, confused. She was a lavender unicorn, smaller than me, and looked kind of... Cartoonish? But I shook that tought away and decided to greet her:
"It was nothing, really. My name is Ivan". She looked at me and extended her hoof
"My name is Twilight" she said "Twilight Sparkle".
I took her hoof and shook it, to busy to think that I was shaking hoof of a horse.
"Say, Ivan, what are you?" Twilight asked.
"Huh?" I replied like an idiot.
"It's just, I have never seen anything like you!" she said.
"Oh, well I am a human. And you are a talking pony-unicorn?" I asked, even if I was seeing things it was fun to talk to someone who was not wanting to kill you or looking at you like you are no more than a maggot.
"Well yes, you can say it that way too. But I want to ask you, what was that noise when I walked in this room?" Twilight asked.
"Well, I thought you were an enemy and tried to shoot you from my gun." I explained shamefully.
"What's a gan?" she asked, confused.
"Great, she doesnt know what a gun is, but I don't want to scare her, maybe she will attack me? Who knows what those scientists put in those things." I thought.
"W-whell a gun is thing that explodes.. It is used to distract people" I lied.
"Well, why then did you want to shoot me with that gun?" she asked.
"I wanted to say - distract you" I lied again.
"But why th-" she started, but interrupted.
"You kicked me in my face, I didn't think very well".
"Y-yeah, sorry" she apologized again.
"Talking about that. Why doesn't it hurt?" I asked.
"Well I used a healing spell and-" I interupted her again
"A spell? So you can actually use magic?" I asked, surprised.
"Yeah... I am an unicorn afterall" she said, looking out in the window.
"Your planet looks alot like Everfree forest.." she murmured, but I could hear her.
"Everfree forest? Is that some kind of forest in South America?" I asked, but she replied
"No, no - it is from Equestria, another dimension".
"Another dimension, huh?" I said, thoughtfully
"Can you tell me more about that Equestria?" And I was met with a quick, cheerful reply
"Of course! But only if you tell me about your world too!" I thought and said
"Well ok, so what is Equestria like?" Twilight thought where to begin and opned her mouth to talk, but was interrupted by a loud noise from outside.
"What is that noise?" The asked concerned.
"Oh, no it can't be good" I thought and looked out the window and could feel my cold sweat.
"Three Chinese Jeeps Incoming!" I unwillingly yelled, like I yell when I throw a grenade or plant a claymore or see something... It usually happens.
"What's a je-" Twilight began, but I quickly grabbed her and ran in the hidden emergency basement in the house.
I should have used suppressor...
P.S.: If you say that you never saw that there was no Chinese War in COD.. It is because it will be in Black Ops 2. Anyways I hope you liked it! I'll try to improve my writing skills, I promise.
I am loving this story. Congrats on the concept.
If it may be of any help, I can add this story to a group called Looking for Editors, if you don't mind?
Also, paragraph breaks between speakers.
Ex:
"Blah Blah" said Twilight.
"Filler!" exclaimed Dash.
This makes the story look cleaner cut and virtually eliminates confusion as to who is speaking.
Thanks for following my advise. Now onward! To waiting for this to continue!
