A Reason To Fight

Prisoner # 03418

PRISON 13 HOURS LATER

I woke from my slumber unaware of what was happening. Then I remembered what happened...The Raid. For some reason they did not take off my armor but did disarm me. My armor is nothing fancy so I don't have any gear that can help me out of this cell. I walked up to the bars to see 5 ponies in golden armor guarding my cell I whistled and motioned for one of the guards to come over to me. As he walked up to me I spit in his eye telling him." Screw you, asshole burn in Hell."

He got angry and told me to how they put it "Buck Off" I laughed as they misused my favorite swear word. I told him as I leaned on the bars. "Not how you say that I hope you know."

He seemed agitated. " Then how do you use it then, huh!" He looked as if he wanted me dead. But it's the other way around.

I lifted my middle finger and said." fu--" I was interrupted by a lavender unicorn entering the prison with a clipboard and pencil levitating above her, surrounded in the same color aura. She whispered something to the guards and soon my cell doors opened without anyone touching them but a different aura.

I tried to jump the lavender one but was stopped by two guards tackling me, forcing me on the ground. She looked over me, looking away to write something, then look back. She looked down at me and said very suspiciously like she was trying to unravel the secrets of the universe. "So as I hear you are the last survivor from our attack? Interesting, interesting, can I ask you your name. I already know you can speak."

I cleared my throat. "The person that wants to kill you.."

Her eyes widened at the threat." Well then I guess ill start, My name is Twilight Sparkle and personal student of Princess Celestia." She said proudly. She questioned me again. " Are you going to be like this the whole time?"

"If it means not giving you information then yes."

"Well then looks like we aren't getting anywhere."

I say quietly and with built up anger I say." There is one thing.."

She is very curious, clipboard ready, listening in closely. "What is it?"

I lash out. " I WANT YOU TO DIE FOR KILLING ALL MY FRIENDS! BURN IN FIRE YOU---"

I get cut off by a guard hitting me in the back and the after I see my interrogator scared but still writing on her stupid clipboard. I feel like negotiations are breaking down. Then I realized if I could warm up to her maybe she will give me a chance to kill her. So I clear my throat. "Actually my name Is Pvt. Kyle "Talon" Cyra, And i'm glad to meet you."

She is cautious, and carefully words her next sentence. "What are you playing at now, giving me your name? Is this some kind of trick?"

I shake my head and smile under my helmet. "Nope just telling you what you need to know."

"Well I need to report back to Celestia I hope we will be able to have another one of these chats again." She says delightfully leaving the room as the guards pull me off the floor and shove me back in my cell.

I sit on the floor, looking at my hands. Trying to figure out how to do the impossible and get my squad back. I sniffle and shudder at the fact that they will never come back, that they are all dead. I quietly sob to myself in a empty cell, only surrounded my uncaring guards. I stop crying and get back up on my feet. I pull myself together thinking my Sargent wouldn't want see me like this. I cleared my throat and walked to up to one of the guards and requested to have another chat will Twilight.

After some doing she came back down to my cell, the same damn clipboard and pencil still levitated above. She questioned me. " What do you want me for?"

I sighed and said softly and looked at her. "Help.."

She looked dumbstruck by the fact that the thing that tried to kill her was requesting her aid. "Well what do you mean?"

I sat on my bed and looked at her. " I need help for finding out why you did this to me?"

She looked confused. " Do what, what did I do?"

I pointed to my insignia on my shoulder pad." Made me the last GDI personnel left on this planet. Why did you slaughter my friends." I looked down at my feet and said angrily." My family..."

She genuinely sounded like she cared. " Well I did not do it, I don't really understand what you mean. I would be happy to help if you informed me. And whats with your mood change."

I sighed. "I am trying to look for the light in this situation, my mom always said to me. "Kyle whenever things may look dark always their is light in that darkness" "she said that to me before I shipped out to the yellow zone. And what I mean by leave me the last left is that around 12 at night YOUR ponies attacked my base, killed my friends, my leader and everyone I knew. They were led by this large pony she was AGH! I don't remember I think dark blue she had a different mane than others, taller too!"

She seemed sympathetic now." Well your mother seems like an Intelligent mare also if I may add what is "G-D-I?."

I cut her off. "Woman. And GDI means Global Defense Initiative, we are Earth's governments combined into one huge group if want to put it in that matter, we are basically the "good guys" "

"Well I actually am sorry for what happened to you Kyle. What you saw can never be unseen I know that for sure. I want to help as much as possible to cheer you up and make you feel better. And I think I know who led the raid on your outpost. It was Princess--

I cut her off, In anger I slammed my fist down on the bed, braking it." LUUNNAA!"

She looked scared of me now. Seeing what I just done to the bed, made to hole 2 ponies but modified for me. She backed away from my cell and just said. " I need to go now I'll see you soon."

****************TWILIGHT'S VIEW

I was scared of Kyle now, it seemed that the word "Luna" Is like a trigger word to him. He is very passionate when It comes to his friends and the raid.

I looked at my notes

Subject seems Hostile to me at first. Was able to communicate with me around two hours later, he is very uneasy about the raid and loss of his friends, he seems like he is very unstable I now know the name of the Subject: Kyle "Talon" Cyra. Now I wonder what Talon means, is it a middle name? Lastly all I got was mentioning Princess Luna makes him very very angry, he broke the bed for him just at the word of her.

What? Ponies able to take down good old human engineering and kill off an entire base of people with guns and advanced armor? ..........I shall read this later to determine if its any good

Well NOD was harassing them. So they were weak at the point in time, also I couldn't find a way for them to win without GDI kicking their asses

[Havokdapony]

6149593 fair enough.... But still... Wiping out every GDI soldier and vehicle? And why the hell Did eqestria attack a foreign power with no reason whatsoever?

Think about it if you were ruler of equestria would you want two pretty sketchy looking, unknown armies blowing the hell out of each other and the environment to possible beat the shit out of you or your citizens. And I couldn't find a way to progress the story, but I'll keep in mind that GDI is more advanced and shouldn't be taken down easy. Thanks and I will try in full your request fire will rain from the skies!

[Havokdapony]

6149633 wait what? The only "sketchy" army here is NOD. These guys are essentially like an entire worlds governments put together and told to defend the world. Essentially eqestria just declared war on an entire planet (or at least half of it) in a way.
Please at least make kyle tell them that.... I would like them to realize the mistake they've just made

yeah I have something special planned for the diplomacy, and since kyle is the only human representative and he is very unstable...well lets say not everyone is coming out without a broken bone or 5.
