Enjoy... Chapter 1 The Ark Last Hope Stupid Humans… They brought it to themselves… They brought… The end of mankind and planet Earth. Our stupidity makes us blind to the truth. We were killing our planet true: war, contamination, bioweapons, fire, oil, deforestation, extinction of many animal species, etc. In the far future of what was one beautiful planet filled with lands, rivers, forests, cities, farms, lakes, among other things… Now is nothing more than a huge mass of water… All that destruction to nature make the planet retaliate against us, by flooding the oceans, all the lands were filled with water that even reach the mountains. Still like roaches we managed to survive… The Ark, what used to be just an experimental water city ended up being our last hope to survive the great flood. During the beginnings of the inevitable great flood, the Ark located near San Francisco was forced to move into the ocean where it began to grow by the many ships filled with people that seeked refuge from the ocean. The Ark that was one small water city grow by the thousands, it was a nice place to stay until all land ceased to exist. The Ark lost contact with the outside world, the structure is beginning to deteriorate, rations are beginning to go scarce, and sickness filled the Ark… Tensions were growing between the guest population and the founders. They are at the brink of civil war. The guests are the name of the survivors who come to the Ark seeking refuge, made of the majority of the working class. While the founders are the original people who lived in the Ark before the guests arrive; they are nothing more than corporate greedy bastards. As Tensions grew they got separated into factions ready to fight for survival, the Resistance and the Security Force. The Resistance belongs to the guests, they were wishing that rations must be shared fairly, also searching for a way to escape the Ark and look for help in the outside world if there is any left. The Security Force belongs to the founders, made by hired personnel ready to defend the Ark and establish order. The funny part is that 60% of the security force is made by guests. Their ideals is to save the rations and keep the population inside the Ark, for the outside world is a dangerous place and no longer habitable (Waterworld movie anyone). Both sides are fully armed and loaded, ready to give a good fight and achieve... Survival. [Location… The Ark/ Aquarium] Day 1… Security Forces were taking heavy damage, for they have just managed to blow the door that contained the hostage they are now trying to get out of the Aquarium. But the pesky Resistance is not allowing them to take further steps for they are very well entrenched in the Kyuden Restaurant of the Aquarium, bullets and grenades are keep being thrown by both sides, yet neither one or the other retreats. “Dammit we cannot hold for much longer if we can’t keep moving!” Said Leney from the Security side. He is an african american wearing at the moment the Good Cop suit, same goes to his friends. Bang, bang, came out of the pistol of Wiltshire the leader of the group, he is caucasian. He was trying to hit one of the Resistance scum. “We must try; we need to take the Hostage to safety!” Said Wiltshire reloading his Kalt pistol. “And how are we going to do that, we don’t have much space to move with those punks well entrenched!” Said Osman the tough guy of the team he is also African American, While taking cover. “Arrrg!” Just now another one from the Security force fall, half of his body is filled with bullet wounds. “Here take this!” Come from Leney, throwing to the fallen officer a medical syringe so he can heal and come back to action. The officer injects himself, and when he is about to get up, he is again filled with bullets only this time they kill him. “Dammit I hate when they do that!” Said Osman, watching the dead officer. “They just deploy two light turrets!” Said Wiltshire, getting more worried, for his ammo is getting low. “This is it, game over man, game over!” Said Leney taking cover. “Will you stop joking for one second! This is serious!” Said Osman returning fire with his Kross SMG. “Sorry!” Said Leney. Firing his Galactic SMG to the Resistance punks. If things don’t change Security will fail and the Hostage will be executed, right now the only thing they can do is… *BOOM!*... Hope? The light turrets were blown up, all Security forces were surprised even the Resistance, they look to the source of the fire and found one member of Security, strange he wasn’t with them when they arrive. It’s a Heavy duty type officer wearing The Bomb suit, color urban camo, only instead of the traditional bomb helmet, he was wearing the Shield helmet that is a gas mask underneath a visor helmet, also using the urban camo colors. In his hands was the source of the destruction of the turrets… an ‘EZ-Nade AGL’ in other words a heavy grenade launcher. He places it on his back and takes another weapon… a ‘Gotlung Minigun’ it starts to spin sending hell to the Resistance. “Who the hell is that guy?!” Said Leney not believing his own eyes. “Doesn’t matter the Resistance is starting to retreat let’s keep pushing!” Ordered Wiltshire. All Security forces started to return fire for their moral has been restored by the mysterious person inside the Bomb suit. In the end Security Manage to take the Hostage to the docks, thanks to the mysterious person, yet he refuses to enter the boat with them. “It’s an order enter the boat now!” Said Wiltshire to the mysterious person, he just shakes his head slowly saying no, right now they have small time to talk for this guy somehow deploy 3 Gatling turrets, stopping for now the Resistance for getting into the docks. “Forget it just leave him!” Said Osman to Wiltshire, remembering him of his duty. “Hey before we go! At least tell us your name!” Said Leney very grateful to our Bomb suit guy. The guy in the Bomb suit just turn around giving them his back and say in a very heavy voice just one word. “Storm…” Said the Bomb suit guy and runs to the other side of the docks throwing himself into the ocean. “Now that’s interesting.” Said Wiltshire, only to be interrupted by a bullet that almost hit him; it seems the Resistance managed to destroy the turrets. “Shit they are here!” Said Osman returning fire. “Let’s fall back! We got the Hostage!” Orders Wiltshire to the boat conductor, leaving the scene to live for another day all thanks to Storm. [Location… The Ark/ Security Tower] Day 6… The Resistance was having a bad time, they just managed to save brother Nachayev, but they are been keep inside the facility, for Security Forces was not allowing them to escape. Their only way out is go up the ramp, pass the wall door of Security they blow up and escape through the same place where they came here. Their only problem is the f**n ramp, Security made it a death trap, if any of the Resistance try to use it they will be dead for sure. Security snipers filled the walls, turrets placed near the ramp, and land mines placed on the same ramp. “Those cowards! They don’t know how to fight fair!” Said Sobotka of the Resistance side, he is Asian wearing The Voice suit. Watching the Snipers, while at the same time keeping his head hidden. “We have no choice this is our only escape! If we try to go around they will just change positions!” Came from the Leader of the group is name is Mason he is Caucasian wearing The Lost suit. Shooting his Gerund AR to a Security officer who was foolish to try and approach them while shooting. Now the fool is dead. “If we could get a distraction we could shoot down the snipers!” Said Clive he is Hispanic (looks Hispanic to me if not please correct me) wearing the Warrior suit. Taking cover, a sniper almost hit him. “The turrets and engineer pigs won’t allow us! It would be a quick and painful dead!” Said Sobotka. Just now another of their brothers just fall by a sniper shot. “We have do something fast!” Said Clive. This could be the end of our friends of the Resistance and their brother Nachayev that is their only way out of the Ark. If there just was one way to escape this dammed prison… *BUDA-BUDA-BUDA-BUDA!* (sound of machine gun). The snipers were killed from behind, making some of their bodies fall from the wall landing on the hard floor. The Resistance was surprised by looking the dead bodies of the snipers on the floor, they look up the wall to see one of their own, he might have not come with them when they arrive to save Nachayev, maybe he is the reinforcements sent by Brother Chen. The mysterious guy who took down the snipers was a Heavy type wearing The Fortress Suit colored in gray and purple. The only difference is instead of wearing the helmet and jaw of the Fortress Suit, he was wearing the Sweat which is a pair of goggles with cloth covering his head and face, the cloth was of color grey with a skull jaw under the goggles painted in white. In his hands was the ‘Maximus MG’ altered with a High-capacity magazine, Dual-Vent Muzzle Brake and a COGA scope, he just now use it to kill the snipers, now he is shooting down the Security Engineers and their worthless turrets. “That’s it boys let’s move now while we can!” Said Mason. “Yea that’s what a fair fight is like! Hit them hard!” Said Sobotka shooting his Kross SMG. It took some time for the Security forces persistency in not allowing them to scape, but thanks to our man in the Fortress suit, they get out alive with Nachayev in one piece. They all enter their escape route from the Prison Tower. They were about to head back with Chen only to find the guy in the Fortress suit walking away from them. “What he is not coming with us?” Asked Clive. “I don’t know. Let me go ask him.” Said Sobotka, now approaching our Fortress suit guy walking away. “Hey man you not coming with us?” Asked Sobotka, also a bit interested in our Fortress guys for he just find out his right eye is red, kind of look robotic to say the least. “No.” Said our fortress guy in a very heavy and wicked voice. “What? Didn’t Chen send you to help us?” Asked Sobotka again. “No.” He said again. “Then why did you help us?” Asked Sobotka really surprised. He didn’t answer he only stop near a small wall where he must depart. “Head back with your friends and protect Nachayev, you still haven’t arrived to CCity.” Said it almost like a mad man with a heavy voice. Sobotka got a bit scared. “Can at least ask your name before you leave?” Asked Sobotka. “Big Fat Joe” He said going up the wall and disappearing from view. Sobotka headed back with his team and return to CCity to live for another day thanks to Fat Joe here. [Time passes by in the Ark] Weeks… Both Big Fat Joe and Storm turn into legends in the coming future, they both did their part protecting and destroying the Ark. Big Fat Joe helped in the defense of the city during the vaccine development to be distributed to the guest population to cure the sickness that is spreading through the Ark. While the founders told Security they were actually constructing a bioweapon. Big Fat Joe make sure not a single Security scum made it pass the gate, thanks to some Gatling turrets he deployed strategically, not to mention modified landmines designed to take down the robot from moving through. In the end the Vaccine was produced and charred to the guest population, and Security was defeated that day forcing them to retreat and for ever have nightmares of that monster’s red eye, they will forever remember Big Fat Joe. Storm helped in the defense of the Airport later days were the Resistance tried to use Nachayev to pilot the plane so they could escape the Ark and look for outside help if there is still any land. While Security told his men one truth, there is still land out there; the only problem is when they send scouts to look for help they were killed the worst way possible, for land is even worse than how the Ark is having is problems with resources. Security was forced to relocate the Ark that day, and now they just don’t have enough power to move it again, if the Resistance escape on the plane, they will make the Ark get invaded by the outside world killing everyone in it, including the guests. Storm stopped the Resistance from getting into the plane, even if they got the Hydraulic fluid, they never pass him inside the hangar, he was carrying two Gotlung Miniguns in each hand, a normal human will never be able to carry two of such monstrosities in each hand, man they can barely lift one with two. In the end the Resistance was forced to retreat and also got nightmares of storm’s gas mask with soulless blue eyes. Later days the hangar was blown up along with the plane, no one knew how it happen; both sides blame each other, The Resistance to Security and they to the Resistance. Big Fat Joe helped in the defense of Operation Babel; The Resistance without a way to escape the Ark they were force to get serious by trying to blow up the founders tower with a huge ass guided missile. Security work this time is try to fix the crane in order to move on and hack the missile to stop it from launching. During the defense good group of Security managed to take down Big Fat Joe, he is not dead yet only down in the floor wounded, they were about to finish him only to find him disappear before their eyes like magic. Somehow he teleported to the top of the building made out of cargo crates, where he got ready a homemade missile launcher in case they fixed the crane. Security was about to finish fixing the crane, only to end up the Latticed boom of same crane being blown up making the crane useless and the gate will now remain seriously closed till the guided missile launches and blows up the founders tower. In the end Security was defeated thanks to Big Fat Joe and forced to fall back, for they could not continue further to stop the missile. Still they kind of win because when the missile was launched it was already sabotaged to begin with and never hit the tower. Storm helped in the attack on the tower, to stop the explosive placed on top of the tower, with very few members of the Resistance were trying to defend it. Storm was kind of angry because in the other campaigns he participated, he only wounded his victims, never kill them, right now he was killing them to make them think it twice whoever dare to stand in his way. In the end all Resistance members retreated out of fear to further angry Storm, after all they didn’t wish to die protecting a bomb to begin with. Storm picked up the explosive and throw it into the sea saving the tower. The most interesting part is that both Storm and Big Fat Joe never meet in combat and they always disappeared after helping their respective factions, making many of the Resistance and Security to believe they both are the same or is just coincidence, still both sides are glad to have a guardian angel watching over them when they kind of need it. Then… Disaster happen… [Location… The Ark/ The end of mankind] 1 Month later of all the things that happened… In the end both sides triumphed in theirs small wars… both sides got killed in the last mission… Fallout… Sadly neither Storm nor Big Fat Joe were there to stop the disaster, once the Resistance managed to destroy the Nuclear reactor of the Ark, they made the Ark inhabitable by unleashing nuclear radiation to every one inside the Ark making it fair for both the Guests and the Founders… Stupid Chen… he kill what was left of humankind, by making his own people bring death to everyone in the Ark… It only took a week for every single one of the population of the Ark to die by radiation. The guests… the founders… Security… and the Resistance… Now the Ark is nothing more than one huge coffin filled with radiation… But wait… Looks like people are still alive inside the Ark… [Location… The Ark/ CCity] Present time… Thousands of corpses are being burned at the moment… work of just what could be said three survivors of the Resistance faction. Mason, Clive and Sobotka, were the only ones who are still alive even with the poisonous nuclear radiation that covers the Ark, they didn’t participate in the operation fallout. Mason was wearing the Fortress Suit, Clive was wearing his Dude suit, and Sobotka was wearing his Anger suit. No one was wearing any head gear. Clive at the moment was still crying for all his family that died the day of the fallout same for Sobotka. Except Mason he was just drinking a bit of alcohol he stole one day from security, while watching the corpses getting burned. “Why?” Said Clive, once again. “Why us, why it must be just us the ones still alive, I should be dead and my kids been allowed to keep on living. My family, my beautiful family.” Said Clive still mourning his deaths. “I don’t know Clive… we could be dead, or we are dead already, only forced to live here as some sort of purgatory or hell.” Said Sobotka still sad. “I don’t believe in such things Sobotka, I believe we have been given the chance to survive… And that’s what I am planning to do…” Said Mason drinking more of his whisky. “Also we are not the only ones alive.” Said Mason watching another smoke of fire in the distance… Security… [Location… The Ark/ Security Headquarters] Present time… Also burning corpses was the work of three survivors of the Security faction. Wiltshire, Leney and Osman. Wiltshire was wearing his Tank suit only with a beret instead of a helmet, Leney was wearing the Eel suit with no mask, and Osman was wearing his Bomb suit with no helmet. Leney had a tough time, he was crying like never before, just to know also his family was killed, blaming himself of not doing a good job in stopping the fallout… They were there when it happen. Wiltshire with Osman were drinking whisky while watching the corpses getting burned, Osman deep inside was wounded for he also got family and he couldn’t save them. “Leney please stop blaming yourself, there was nothing we could do.” Said Osman. “We could be able to stop them! I could be able to save my family! And we FAILED!” Said Leney really angry at Osman. “You were not the only one with a family! And we could not stop them because there was no way we could hold them back! It wasn’t our fault! It was their fault for destroying the generator and bringing dead to us all!” Said Osman. “STOP! Both of you! Now it's not the time to blame, we are still alive, that’s what matters now, also we are not alone.” Said Wiltshire to his friends even if he is in charge now. Watching smoke in the distance… the Resistance… Yet both sides, didn’t know they were been watched by someone in the shadows. One with a red glowing eye and the other with his soulless blue eyes… Only to both shadows disappear like some sort of holograms, turning themselves into modified UAVs (it’s the name of a small spy drone). Leaving their hidden locations heading back to their master. [Location… The Ark/ Aquarium/ The Kyuden Restaurant] 2 Weeks later… It passed a week and not one of the survivors dared to go and check on the enemy out of fear of being killed on site, especially if there are only three members in each team, but they did kept on guard in case indeed someone dare to look for them. The next week Big Fat Joe appear in front of the Security Headquarters, making Wiltshire and his friends get scared beyond believe, for they know he is a monster and he can kill them where they stand without even lifting a finger. Still even if they die they keep pointing their guns at him, they just didn’t dare to shoot him for they found him without weapons and his hands lifted. He only told them one word… Talk. He offer them the chance of peace but they must go to the Kyuden Restaurant by the end of the week, promising them no one will harm them. He just told them that and leave. Wiltshire believes it could be a trap, but if it is why the need to go far if they can just be eliminated by the hands of Big Fat Joe. The next day Storm appeared in the front of the gates of CCity same like Big Fat Joe, only that this time the Resistance tried to shoot him, only to find their bullets are not even scratching his armor. They just surrender and allow themselves to talk with Storm, he told them the same, head to the Kyuden Restaurant by the end of the week and also that no one will harm them. Mason is the kind of guy who never get scared but this time he was beyond belief… Storm the most dangerous member of Security just offer them peace… If it was a trap why the need to go far. The end of the week arrived, both sides were in the restaurant, with their weapons pointed to one another in case is some sort of trap. The silence was broken by Clive. “This is a trap, isn’t it? I don’t see Storm where is him!” Said Clive a bit nervous with his CARB-9 SMG pointed to Leney. “Storm?!? We could ask the same where is Fat Joe he brought us here?!” Said Leney with FRKN-3K AR pointed to Clive. “I don’t know what ya talking about we haven’t see Fat Joe since Operation Babel.” Said Mason with his Mossington Shotgun. “I could say the same, we haven’t see Storm since The Attack on the Tower.” Said Wiltshire, with his Rokstedi AR. “Wait just a gun dam minute, If you guys haven’t seen Fat Joe and we haven’t seen Storm, yet we, you guys say they invited all of us here…” Said Osman carrying a Chinzor MG, for he is kind of able to use heavy weapons. “Then where are they?… Stay Alert!” Said Sobotka with his Rhett AR, no longer pointed to Security but rather checking his surroundings. Same went with everyone they were no longer pointing their guns at each other but rather stood alert it could be a trap made just for them. “Impressive just when I almost lost all hope and you were going to shot each other.” Said a heavy voice, it was Storm entering the restaurant, from the same place he appear for the first time. Only that this time he was carrying two Gotlung Miniguns, pointed to the survivors. “Aww, just when I wanted to see their brains blow up.” Said another heavy voice only that this one sound wicked. It was Big Fat Joe carrying two altered Maximus MG. he appear next to Storm. Now the survivors were definitely scared, all of their weapons were pointed to both Storm and Fat Joe. “Relax… I am only here to talk, same my brother. Also you own me 100 bucks.” Said Storm to Fat Joe. “Fine…” Said Fat Joe disappointed, he dropped one of his Maximus MG to the ground and handle the money to Storm. “Not like it’s any worth to begin with.” Said Storm dropping one of his Gotlung Miniguns, and taking a lighter out of his pockets lighting the money making it burned, to ashes. “I don’t wish to sound like an ass but what the HELL IS GOING ON!” Said Leney letting the fear get the best of him. “Oh… We are brothers.” Said Storm. “And we were planning to protect what’s left of mankind.” Said Fat Joe. “Only to end up failing in the process.” Said Storm. “Your Stupid brother Chen fucked everything up!” Said Fat Joe pointing with his free hand to the Resistance Survivors. “Also your useless commander who could not defend the reactor by simply locking the full place.” Said Storm pointing with his free hand to The Security Survivors. “Now there is no hope for us! We are the last humans in this forsaken planet!” Said Fat Joe, clearly pissed. “What my brother says is true… We are what’s left of mankind, no women, no future for mankind.” Said Storm dropping his hand to pick up again his gun. “What! No more humans, how are you so sure?! There could still be someone outside the Ark!” Said Sobotka. “Because I hacked the Satellites, but I believe a full explanation is in order.” Said Storm. “We are the makers of the Vaccine you Resistance used to save the guests and what you Security guys though it was a bioweapon, man I still laugh at that.” Said Fat Joe to both the Resistance and Security. “Besides working on the Vaccine we were also working on a way to make what is left of the land on planet earth able to be reconstructed trough advanced technology, creating new types of consumable fruits, and a special device able to create drinkable water in order to repopulate and survive during the great flood that will last for at least 100 years or more.” Said Storm. “We got to stop the Resistance airport flight to the land outside, for it is filled with dead, you guys would have died of starvation if you took the plane. Security… What your commander told you of life outside was a long time ago now all those people died of starvation, the people of the Ark were the last humans standing.” Said Fat Joe to both sides. “All the attacks on the tower got to be stopped, for my brother and I were using the tower to hack the remaining satellites orbiting earth. In order to find a suitable land for repopulation and salvation. Also using them to look for survivors outside the Ark, the only last life signs we found were located under water in a city called Rapture, all their life signs disappeared one year ago.” Said Storm. “Sadly we could not stop the Fallout for we were working on a special plant that makes giant fruits, among other things including upgrading our weapons to stop you guys from killing each other.” Said Fat Joe. “Still we can’t find a way to say why are we still alive even with the radiation going at maximum levels.” Said Storm. “I do say it’s funny to still be alive, but I could almost say it was something in the Vaccine or maybe we are mutating in order to survive just like roaches.” Said it almost laughing Fat Joe. “Now all our research and time is wasted… There is no longer a need to use technology to repopulate the land, for the land plants will grow back on themselves many years in the future. The need to make them grow quick is no longer necessary if there won’t be humans to keep on living.” Said Storm. The news made everyone of the survivors go pale, they don't care longer for their lives… They drop their weapons, for indeed there is no need to kill each other if they are already dead to begin with. Humanity is dead to begin with. Storm and Fat Joe also drop their weapons. “Now that you guys know the truth, I wanted to tell you all that the least we can do is enjoy what’s left of our time, and live in the founders tower till the day we die, as a simple last request for humanity by showing all the fallen humans we are willing to keep on living in their memory till we die.” Said Storm… “Also if you still wish to die who am I to stop you?” Said almost smiling Fat Joe. “No, no, no that’s ok.” They all almost say in unison. “Good… I will be waiting for you guys in the tower, I will highly recommend to bring any useful items including guns, who knows if one day we will seriously need to use them again.” Said Storm picking up his weapons and walking away. His brother was following him right behind him with his guns in hand. “Well that was… Unexpected.” Said Clive sadly. “I believe introductions should be in order if we are gone live together in PEACE.” Said Osman almost not believing what is going on. Least of all live with was once the enemy. “My name is Mason these are my brothers Clive and Sobotka.” Said Mason stretching his hand to Wiltshire. Wiltshire was having second doubts but in the end shakes hands. “Wiltshire, my companions and friends are Leney and Osman.” Said Wiltshire. “Well now that we know each other let’s get along well shall we?” Said Mason to Wiltshire. “Understood, see you guys later then.” Said Wiltshire to the Resistance. What’s left of the Resistance leave the Bar to go pick up what they might need in order to live in the tower, heading back to CCity. “Are you sure we can trust those punks?” Said Leney. “No… I don’t trust them, besides if they kill us, they will only save us the pain to live as the last humans.” Said Wiltshire no longer caring if he dies or not. “I'll still keep an eye on my back, come on let’s get our stuff packed up.” Said Osman. They leave the place to pick their things. With the Resistance… “Can we really trust those pigs after what we went through?” Said Sobotka. “I can’t say I trust them, but at least I will enjoy what’s left on my time, besides I hear they have good drinks inside the tower.” Said Mason. “I don’t trust them but if you say it's ok then I will follow you till the day I die Mason.” Said Clive. “Always faithful my friend, no worries if they cross the line I will make sure they never open their eyes again.” Said Mason to Clive. In the end both sides ended up living peacefully of what is left of their lives in the tower, waiting for the grim reaper to come and pick them up… They fixed the tower, the energy by cleaning the radiation, among other things, good to know that Storm and Osman know how to cook otherwise they would be doomed to eat only noodles for what’s left of their life’s. Leaving our survivors alone inside the Founders Tower in the Ark… Outside blue planet earth in a place far, far away in another planet, war is about to be unleashed in a peaceful land called… Equestria. [Location… Planet Equestria/ Canterlot/ Palace.] Present time… Inside the throne room of the palace was Celestia having a very hard time trying to make peaceful negotiations with the Griffin kingdom. For now she is waiting for the arrival of her personal ambassador, which she sent in order to make peace with the griffons. The throne room doors opens revealing a pegasi guard running right at her; he stops in middle of the room to give an important message. “Your Highness, the ambassador returned! She is right now in the Palace Hospital! She requests your immediate attention!” Said the guard. “Why? What happened to her?” Asked really worried Celestia. “The griffons cut her wings…” Said the guard. Celestia exited the Throne room and headed to the private Hospital located inside the palace, once she enter with the help of the doctors and nurses to take her to see her ambassador. Inside the room she found a very seriously wounded mare pegasi, it could be seen clear as day that she lost her wings. “Your… Highness…” Said the mare barely speaking, she not only lost her wings but also was hit hard. “Easy now I am here, tell me what happen, who did this to you?” Said Celestia really sad to see one of her little ponies seriously wounded. “The griffons… They did this to me… Also they allow me to live… To give you… An important message… War… They are planning to conquer all of Equestria for themselves… And they have some dragons by their ranks your Highness…” Said the ambassador. “They will march towards Canterlot in four months… They told me… That not a single pony will be allowed to live…” The news hit Celestia hard in her hearth, this is not a war, this is extermination. “Thank you ambassador, please rest for now, and don’t worry I will never allow the deaths of my subjects.” Said Celestia with a motherly smile to help her ambassador rest peacefully knowing Celestia has everything under control. “I will… Your Highness…” The Ambasador closed her eyes for a well-deserved sleep. Celestia exited the Hospital with sadness filled in her face, she just promised something even a goddess can barely accomplish, sure she single handedly or in this case hoofedely deal with the invaders on her own, but dragons are another thing, they may not be as powerful as her but they can still kill her if they work together. She was friends with many dragons in her time but this ones are probably the dragons of the dark swamp, greedy, deadly and definitely not friendly. If the griffons ally with them, this could be the end of the ponies of Equestria. [Location… Planet Equestria/ Canterlot/ Palace/ Princess Luna Room] 1 hour later… Luna was in her room on top of her bed reading a book, only to find her sister entering her room, she looks… Grim and sad. “For the look on your face I take the negotiations with the griffons are failed, aren't they?” Said Luna looking at her sister. “Not only failed, they are planning to eliminate us all ponies from Equestria and they have dragons willing to help them, probably those of the dark swamp.” Said Celestia clearly sad, sitting next to her sister. “What should I do, I never faced a situation like this in my many years of rule... Even with your help and the elements there is no chance to stop them.” Said Celestia more sad. “Have you ever considered looking for outside help?” Said Luna. “Who? Remember we don’t have strong connections with the other dragons, same goes to the other alicorns ruling different parts of Equestria. And the Magical Hermits, they rather see me root than lifting one of their hoofs to help.” Said Celestia… There is no hope at all… “And what about help form the outside of our planet?” Said Luna placing one of her hooves in her sister's shoulder to comfort her. “Most of the gods hates us for our peaceful existence. And the majority of the creatures are too dangerous to be allowed to set hoof in Equestria.” Said Celestia, thinking about it. “We can at least try to find somepony willing to help us from the outside. You don’t know until we at least try.” Said Luna smiling to her sister. “You know what, you are right. We will do it this night, for now I must inform the captain of the guard to strength the frontier with extra guards just in case they choose to attack by surprise.” Said Celestia leaving her sister so she can keep reading without been disturbed. Once she closed the door… “There is always hope dear sister… Always.” Said Luna smiling remembering Nightmare Night were she almost lost hope in being accepted again as a princess. [Location… Planet Earth/ The Ark/ Founders Tower] 1 Week Later (time and space work differently)… On top of the tower at night was Big Fat Joe without clothes except for some pants meditating like every day with the hope that god may save them, or at least bring sexy women for those lonely times. Without a shirt there could be seen tattoos made out of pagan symbols all over his body named Runic tattoo. “Joe are you up there again?!” Asked Clive from the window closest to the roof of the tower. He broke Fat Joe’s meditation. “What is it now?!” Said Fat Joe not amused. “Food is ready if ya wish to join us for supper!” Said Clive. “I will be there when ponies learn to fly!” Said Fat Joe angry. “Sorry man they just told me to pass you the message!” Said Clive closing the window heading back with the others. Fat Joe closed his eyes again and continued meditating… “If there is a god out there please help us.” Thought Joe not giving up hope. “I am here.” Said a motherly voice telepathically to him. “Well I will be dammed what took you so long! Please we are what’s left of mankind and at least we wish to have woman or live in paradise as our only request for being the last humans alive.” Said Fat Joe to the unknown deity. “The last humans? Please tell me how it happen?” Said the deity. “Wait? You are not a deity from our planet!” Said Fat Joe not believing it. “No, I am not, now please tell me what happen and maybe I could help.” Said the deity. “First what’s your name my goddess? So I can tell you what happen to us.” Said Fat Joe more than happy. “Celestia.” She said with a sweet voice it almost melt his hearth. “A pleasure to meet you my name is Big Fat Joe!” He said it with joy. Big Fat Joe spend several hours talking with the deity telling her of the story of mankind, the Ark, the Resistance, Security and the fallout that killed almost everyone in the Ark. He also told her of the plans he with his brother were planning to use and save the human race before been sent to extinction. “I have a deal for you dear Joe.” Said Celestia to him. “I may not have the power to give you women, but at least I can allow you humans to live the last of your days in paradise.” Said Celestia. “Will you help us then?” Said Fat Joe. “Yes but under two conditions, one is that you and your friends must promise me that you won’t harm my beloved subjects. Also that you will help us in the upcoming invasion, for we live in a peaceful place what is about to be tainted by war, we need someone willing to help us during this dark times.” Said Celestia. “So you are looking for mercenaries, dear Celestia you just came to the right place! Hell we might even teach your kind a thing or two of how to defend themselves!” Said Fat Joe not only likening the idea, enjoying it. “Now there is indeed two problems…” Said Fat Joe. “What is it?” asked Celestia. “Problem one how are we going to get there with all our machinery and weapons?” Said Fat Joe. “Me and my sister will summon you along with your belongings.” “You mean you can summon us along with the Ark?” “Yes.” “Now problem… Two… How am I going to convince my friends to tell them a deity just offer us paradise?” Asked Fat Joe scratching the back of his head. “Just tell them to ask me one thing they need and I will grant it, to show them that I exist.” Said Celestia. Everyone was in the play room, joking with one another and telling some tales while drinking booze only to be interrupted by Big Fat Joe, taking literally down the door. “News everyone there is Hope for us!” said Fat Joe. “What is it brother?” Said Storm without his suit seated in a couch. It could be seen clear as day that both of them are twins, the only difference is that Storm has a huge scar on the left side of his face patched with surgical staples, the scar passes his left eye, but its fine. While Big Fat Joe lost his right eye, and was replaced with a cybernetic red eye. Storm also has a body tattoo but it’s the Devil Skull one instead of a Rune tattoo like his brother. Everyone was interested in what Joe is going to tell them. “I just contacted a deity offering us paradise if we work for her as mercenaries…” Said Fat Joe very seriously. Everyone was quiet for a second until they started to laugh. “This is no joke we can leave this forsaken planet if we work for her!” Said Fat Joe. “Yea and ponies can fly!” said Clive laughing remembering what Fat Joe told him on the roof. “She said she can grant us one wish right now just to show you that she exists!” Said Joe almost mad. “Well if she can restore the Ark… Then I will believe it.” Said Storm not laughing but a bit ashamed of his brother. As soon he said that, the tower started to shake making most of the members to fall on the floor. Then a majestic white light cover the entire Ark. Once it stopped everyone got up, and realized…Everything looks like new. Storm got up from his seat and took a look outside, the Ark was indeed restored, all the floating island was working now 100% just like the day the founders send it to the sea. “Brother?...” said Storm not believing his own eyes, same goes to our Resistance and Security survivors. “Yes brother…” Said Fat Joe also not believing it but now he was really impressed. “What did the deity told you? Tell me everything…” Said Storm seriously. Big Fat Joe told him everything that happen on the roof and what’s her name. “So what ya say brother? Will you join her as her personal Mercenary?” Said Fat Joe. “…. Count me in.” Said Storm not wasting an opportunity like this. “Security will you join her and keep the promise she told us?” Said Fat Joe to the Security survivors. Wiltshire looked at his friends and they nodded him. “Security at your service.” Said Wiltshire Saluting along with his friends. “Very well, now Resistance will-” Fat Joe was interrupted. “You don’t need to ask us, we were waiting for this day, the day we can finally leave the Ark, COUNT US IN BROTHER!” Said Mason with his brothers clapping. “Then it’s a deal” told Celestia to Fat Joe telepathically watching the scene in front of her. “Tell them I will pick all of you and the Ark in a week. Till next time Joe. Also give them my thanks.” Said Celestia before cutting communication with Joe. “Ok! Celestia just told me we need to get ready, she will pick us up and the Ark in a week!” Said Fat Joe to his brother. “Alright get ready! We must begin to pack and make sure all weapons are fully operational; we might even share them with her kind! Let’s move!” Said Storm in a commanding voice making everyone get the preparations ready. “Brother…” Said Storm to Fat Joe. “What?” Asked Fat Joe. “Shit just got real.” Storm clicked a button hidden in his pants making his Bomb suit appear via teleport on his body. [Location… Planet Equestria/ Canterlot/ Palace.] Present time… Celestia opened her eyes, she was on the bed of Luna. “You are back! Tell me what happen!” Said Luna excited to know if her sister found help, she was also on the bed. “I believe dear sister… that I found my little brink of hope.” Said Celestia smiling.

Again use this >>website : BrinkWiki<< if you get lost. Thanks again to Zephyr for the pre-read I <3 you man. it begins... Chapter 2 Ark Mercenaries in Equestria [Location… Planet Earth/ The Ark/ Outside the Founders Tower] One Year Later… Everyone was outside in the entrance of the Tower and drinking Vodka… “Can you believe she abandoned us?” Said Leney. “I don’t believe that, maybe time and space works different for her.” Said Big Fat Joe. “Well even if she didn’t pick us up at least she left us the Ark working like new.” Said Storm, smoking. “Maybe the war she warned us about started before, not giving her time to pick us up.” Said Wiltshire. “Oh Hell NO! I hope that’s not the case, I have work for 5 full months with those nutjobs making a satellite only to end up working for nothing!” Said drunk and angry Osman pointing his hand to the Twins. “Who cares anyway?” Said Clive also drunk. “I do!” Said Osman. “Well I don’t.” Said Clive. “Guys! Shut up! We all work on it so stop complaining!” Said Mason, smoking a cigar. “I say let’s be patient for a little bit longer and we shall receive her blessing… I think I drink too much.” Said Sobotka throwing his empty bottle of Vodka to nowhere in particular. “Well… We also have ready all the boats, the war planes are fully functional, same goes to the Security helicopters, and the cargo robots along with the different turrets. Not to mention our massive stash of weapons of all sizes and colors.” Said Storm. “Don’t forget the explosives.” Said Leney. “Yeah! My favorite part the explosives!” Said Fat Joe, remembering experimenting with the explosives on some useless vehicles. Everyone agrees with Joe in that. Until the Ark starts to shake. “What is happening!?” Said Clive, forgetting his drunkness. “I don’t know!” Said Wiltshire. Then Storm along with Fat Joe saw the Ark getting engulfed in a light little by little. “Everyone! Inside! Inside!” Said Storm to everyone to enter the Tower. They ran to the Tower… But by the time they tried to enter… they disappear along with the Ark… now planet earth is definitely depleted of human life… [Location… Planet Equestria/ The Ocean near Manehattan] Present time… On the Ocean a bit far from Manehattan in the morning, something is about to change the fate of many for good or bad. The Ocean was engulfed in a bright light, suddenly a floating city appear on top of Equestrian waters… The Ark… It causes a small shock wave that called the attention of everypony who were working in the docks of Manehattan. Still they choose not to investigate under orders of Princess Celestia's guards who warn everypony of an anomaly that will occur during this week, and no matter what none of them must go near of it, or leave the port during this very week. Inside the Ark… Everyone of the survivors was knocked down on the floor, and little by little they started to get back on their feet. “I believe they actually picked us up.” Said Storm, checking a small device he had behind his pants that allowed him to see planet Earth thanks to the satellites, but now the device is not detecting a single satellite. “Well it worked… Time to launch the satellite, brother.” Said Fat Joe to Storm. “I agree only then we will know our location, and the location of our allies and enemies.” Said Storm. “Let’s get on with it then.” Said Wiltshire. “I agree let's send some trash into space.” Said Mason. Everyone moved inside the tower where they constructed a launching device on the left side of the tower, it looked like a huge pipeline, but inside there lies a rocket with a satellite. The Resistance was checking the gas lines, making sure the rocket has enough gas to reach space. Security was taking a good look to the rocket and the satellite, making sure it would work. Meanwhile the twins were working in the Ark master control room they made on top of the tower, making sure the Ark was functioning 100% along with the ark antennas. “Joe are you ok?” Said Celestia telepathically to Joe. “Hey Celli wasup, not like I am mad or anything but why took you so long to pick us up?” Said Fat Joe. Now Storm knows he is talking to the deity. “What do you mean? I picked you in a week as I say.” Said Celestia. “I am sorry to inform you but in our planet it took you a year, to pick us up, still don’t worry Celli, we are here, and that’s all that matters now.” Said Fat Joe. “Sorry, I-I didn’t know it took me so long.” Said Celestia. “Hey, no problem we are here and we plan to keep our part of the bargain.” Said Fat Joe. “Perfect then, I will send a chariot to pick up all of you.” Said Celestia. “A transport? No. That won’t be necessary we have our own ways to reach you, we just need to send this satellite to space and we will be ready.” Said Fat Joe. “What is a satellite?” Said Celestia. “The satellite rocket is ready!” Came from the radio, Security finished with the rocket. “The gas is full and ready to go!” Came again from the radio, Resistance made sure the rocket was full of gas. “You are about to see Celli.” Said Fat Joe to Celestia. “Brother will you do the honors?” Said Fat Joe to his brother. Storm nodded and pushed a big red button. For the first time in Equestria a rocket was launched into space, everypony in Manehattan saw it, same could be said from Ponyville and Celestia watch it in the distance from her Palace. In space the rocket unleashed the satellite; half part of it had Security symbols on it while the other half was graffiti of the Resistance. “Perfect! The satellite is working 100%, in six hours we will have a full map of the planet.” Said Storm through the radio, congratulating every one for a job well done. “Well now you know Celli, as soon we have the satellite scan we can find your location. For now we will get ready to meet you in person expect us to arrive as soon we can.” Said Fat Joe. “But before you cut communication, where are you located? So we can see it in our satellite map.” Said Fat Joe. “I live in the Palace of Canterlot. Right now your Ark is located in the Ocean near Manehattan, once you pass Manehattan you will reach Ponyville, from there you will see the Palace in front of a mountain.” Said Celestia. “Roger that.” Said Fat Joe. “What is roger?” Said Celestia. “It means loud and clear, we will meet you there.” Said Fat Joe. “I will be waiting for you then.” Said Celestia and cut the telepathic communication with him. Suddenly Big Fat Joe forgot to ask her something important… Who are they? How do they look like? Ponyville??? While the satellite was scanning the planet everyone of them was wearing their gear, to meet their deity. Of course they wished to look professional and what better way than to arrive with the big guns… Storm/Security.----- Armor: The Bomb Suit, with The Shield Helmet.

Storm/Big Fat Joe/ Inside Armor.----- They both have implanted an Exo-Suit inside their Armor, that’s how they can carry such monstrous weapons. It took them a while to get ready, but now they are gear up and ready to go. Right now they were in the Security Headquarter's Helipad, ready to pick one of Security Helicopters. “Ok. Satellite scan is halfway complete.” Said Storm, holding his small device in hand. Allowing him to have a good view of the planet. “I don’t know man I am starting to have second thoughts.” Said Leney, they may not see his face with the Eel mask on the way, but they feel his fear. “Hey no problem, I am also having second thoughts, don’t worry I got your back.” Said Clive to Leney. They both turned friends in their stay in the Tower. “I agree with Clive as long as we stick together nothing is going to happen to us.” Said Osman. “….” Sobotka was thinking. “Time to move get to the choppa!” Said Fat Joe to everyone. They all got inside the Security Helicopter; Osman grabbed the right side machine gun and Mason grabbed the left side. Storm and Fat Joe were the pilots. All engines started to run and the helicopter began to fly to the unknown. Storm placed a CD of Guns and Roses in the stereo of the helicopter. “Joe! How do they look like?! The ones we are supposed to defend!” Asked, Sobotka to Joe. “I don’t know! I forgot to ask how the creatures look like! But at least they speak English! Hopefully!” Said Joe. “If luck is on our side they might look like those blue cats of Avatar!” Said Clive joking. Yes they got the chance to watch tv on their stay in the Tower. “That was one hell of a bad movie!” Said Osman. “Ok guys get ready! We are about to have visual contact with the city called Manehattan! Everybody hold your weapons! Remember they are on our side whatever they are!” Said Fat Joe. “Manehattan?!?” They all say in unison except Storm. “Why does it sound familiar?” Said Wiltshire. He shut his mouth when he saw the Statue of Ponyliberty in their sights. Everyone was stunned. Funny thing is that this song started to play (Paradise City by Guns and Roses). “The Hell!” Said Clive. “I agree Man!” Said Sobotka. Their helicopter flew over the city of Manehattan where the survivors saw what look like ponies in clothes. Most of the ponies were surprised by the strange thing that was flying over Manehattan. Once the helicopter passed the tall buildings and ponies, heading towards its destination... “I think there is something wrong with my Eel mask! I could almost swear I saw ponies in clothes!” Said Leney. “No my friend, we all see it!” Said Mason not surprised. “You are taking it quite well Mason!” Said Clive almost thinking he lose his mind back there. “We were sent to an unknown place, everything can happen!” He answers back. “Ok! We are about to have visual contact with a Ville called Ponyville! From here we should be able to see the castle we are heading!” Said Fat Joe. “WHAT?!?” They all are starting to question their sanity for coming here. “We have contact!” Said Storm. Then their mind was blown… Colorful houses with colorful ponies... On top of a cloud was Rainbow Dash having a good nap. She is a blue sky pegasi with rainbow colored mane. Only for her dream to be disturbed by the sound of some kind of thing that fly pass her. Clearly mad she gives it chase. “What the hell man! This is not normal!” Said Sobotka watching Ponyville below them. “Too late to go back now! There’s our destination gentlemen!” Said Storm. Having visual of the castle while they flew over Ponyville. Leney was watching the castle only to turn his head and find a rainbow mare pegasi in front of him. She was kind of inspecting the strange creatures that were on board of the strange flying thingy. “Guys?!” Said Leney a bit scared of the thing in front of him even if Osman was on the right side with him graving the stationary machine gun in hands; he was distracted watching the Castle. “You things can talk!” Said Dash. Only then all of them looked to the pegasi, except for Storm and Fat Joe, they were driving. They may be hardened soldiers of the Ark… But this thing scared the shit out of them making them scream in unison. “Will you guys shut up!” Said Storm graving his coffee mug and throw it to the back without even looking, it hit Rainbow Dash, making her lose her flight. Lucky for her she landed in a pile of hay. “Oh shit man! I think you killed it!” Said Sobotka. “Killed what?!?” Said Storm, not knowing what they are talking about. “Never mind!” Said all, watching Sobotka with a shut your mouth face. They kept their course toward the castle. Dash get out of the hay, and headed back flying as quickly as she can to Ponyville to see Twilight and tell her what just happened. [Location… Equestria/Ponyville Library] Present time… Entering through one of the open windows of the Library was Rainbow Dash looking for Twilight only to find her with the rest of the mane 6. “Rainbow, good to see you here, I was just about send Pinkie Pie to look for you.” Said Twilight Sparkle, The purple mare unicorn with dark purple mane with small stripes of purple and pink in her mane. “Wait, there was this thing that just pass Ponyville and-” Said Dash only to be interrupted by Rarity. “We all saw it darling.” Said Rarity the withe unicorn with purple mane. “It looked like kind of scary.” Said Fluttershy the yellow pegasi with pink mane. “Twilight here says the thing that just pass here had something to do with the strange thing that was launched to the sky.” Said Applejack the orange earth-pony mare with blond mane. Pinkie Pie was just hearing the girls because she didn’t want to give spoilers. Pinkie Pie is a light pink earth-pony with pink mane. “I also just received a letter of Princess Celestia requesting our presence in Canterlot.” Said Twilight. “But! That thing was carrying something that looked like monkeys inside of it! And they can talk! I also overhear them that they were heading to the palace!” Said Rainbow Dash. “Then there is no time to lose! We must head to the palace as fast as we can, the Princess must be in danger!” Said Twilight. “How are we going get there on time? The train is not so fast, and walking will take us days!” Said Rarity. “I will teleport all of us to the palace. Just hold your hooves and we will be there.” Said Twilight grabbing hooves with the girls in a circle. Then she used her magic to teleport herself with her friends to the palace… [Location… Canterlot/Palace] Present time… The helicopter was about to arrive to the Castle. Flying over Canterlot, making many of the snob ponies to get surprised by the strange thing that is passing over them. “We got a problem!” Said Fat Joe. “What is it!” said Wiltshire. “We can’t find a place to park!” Said Fat Joe. “What about those gardens!” Said Leney. Watching a nice spot for them to land near the maze of the Palace. Thanks to his Eel mask, that has many types of views, one of them is allowing him to see far away. “Nice eyes Leney! Everyone get ready and remember to hold your fire unless they try to kill us!” Said Storm. They landed the helicopter in the spot Leney told them. Once our survivors exited the helicopter with weapons in hands they found four guards. Two of them belonged to Celestia, they were white pegasi in golden armor. While the other two belonged to Luna, they were some sort of breed between pegasi and bats, in other words they are just dark grey ponies with bat wings and golden eyes with midnight armor. They were expecting them. One of Celestia's guards step in front. “Princess Celestia and Luna, have ordered us to escort you to the throne room.” Now things definitely took a different turn, the survivors simply could not believe a pony was talking to them. “You can talk?” Said Osman not believing his eyes. “Yes, we can talk. Now if you please the princesses are waiting.” Said one of Luna's guards stepping in front. “Very well… We follow.” Said storm carrying his altered ‘Gotlung Minigun’. All of the survivors followed the guards and enjoyed the view of the place it looked almost like the fairy tales their mothers used to tell them when they were kids. Of course they were still in alert with guns in hand just in case of some sort of trap. [Location… Canterlot/ Palace/ Throne Room] Minutes later… Once the doors of the throne room opened by the guards, followed by the survivors. They found inside Princess Celestia with Luna in their respective thrones. At the feet of small stairs where their seats were located there were waiting the mane 6 who were surprised by the look of the strange creatures. Rarity was at the brink of having a heart attack for watching the clothes of the Resistance. “Guards you may wait outside.” Said Celestia, the guards that escorted the survivors, exited the throne room. “It’s a pleasure to finally meet you goddess.” Said Fat Joe, kneeling, the rest follow the example of Fat Joe, after all one must always be respectful with a goddess. “You may rise. Also a pleasure to finally meet you my little humans. How was your trip form the Ark to here?” Said Celestia while Luna was in silence observing the humans in front of her. “I say the place is wonderful, yet we didn’t expect to find ourselves with creatures such as yourself and the guards when we arrived.” Said Fat Joe, getting up on his feet with the rest. “Sorry to interrupt… But we are here to do our part of the bargain… Not to chat… Where are the creatures or the army you wish to exterminate?…” Said Storm. It made the mane six get a bit scared. Except for Fluttershy she is always scared. “Going straight to the point, I like you, Storm was it your name right?” Said Celestia. “Yes…” Said Storm. “Very well… We were informed by my ambassador, that the griffon army is planning to eliminate the ponies in all of Equestria, and they have dragons on their side as well. They will attack in four months from now.” Said Celestia. Twilight with the rest of the mane 6 gasped, they weren’t informed of such a thing. “Will you tell us their location?…” Said Storm dropping his altered ‘Gotlung Minigun’ on the ground, and took out of his pockets the device that allowed him to see the planet with the satellite, by now the satellite must have finished scanning the planet. “They are located far beyond the Everfree forest that is located near Ponyville.” Said Celestia to Storm. Also interested in the strange device he has in hands. Clicking some buttons Storm made the Satellite give him visual of the place. Mother of mercy they are too many, not to mention the dragons there are at least ten or more of them, and they are really huge. “Brother look at this.” Said Storm to Fat Joe. He looked at the device. “How much explosive we will need for that?” Fat Joe asked. “All of it, but it would be worthless because they can fly.” Said Storm. “Celestia we got a problem…” Said Fat Joe. “What is it?” Said Celestia. “How do you expect us to fight all those troops alone?” Said Fat Joe. “Well you did said that you could teach my subjects how to fight.” Said Celestia. “The problem is you have hooves, not hands.” Said Fat Joe showing them his fingers. “All our weapons need fingers to pull the trigger. Hope you don’t mind if we give you a small demonstration.” Said Fat Joe. “Go ahead.” Said Celestia. Fat Joe Nodded Storm, and Storm look to Wiltshire. “Wiltshire fire one round to that column with your revolver.” Said Storm pointing his hand to one of the columns of the room. Wiltshire took aim with his ‘Ritchie Revolver’ and shot. It scared almost all of the ponies for the loud shot except for the survivors. Dash found awesome whatever was that thing in the hands of Wiltshire. “Can I try?!” Said Dash approaching Wiltshire, Twilight only facehoof at her friend's usual behavior. Most of the survivors laugh at Dash, still Wiltshire find it harmless the idea. “Sure if you can even hold it.” Said Wiltshire handling the gun to Dash smiling a bit. What surprised him was that she could hold the gun with one hoof, and shot it to the same column. Now the survivors were speechless… “How is it possible to hold a gun with their hoofs and shot it?” Said Wiltshire not believing what he just saw. “Our hoofs are magical it allow us to do different tasks, especially when it comes to handling small things like your hands.” Said Luna for the first time since they arrive to Wiltshire. “I hear it and don’t believe it they can use magic too?” Said Mason, surprised. “Yes we can.” Said Celestia using her horn to magically levitate the gun from Dash’s hoof and give it back to Wiltshire hands. “If you horses can do-” Storm was interrupted by Luna. “Ponies, we are ponies.” Said Princess Luna to Storm. “Ponies right… If you have magic why do you need to look for help?...” Said Storm. “Storm… We simply don’t have the power to fight the dragons of the dark swamps and defend our subjects at the same time; also because we don’t have a large army since we have always lived in peace.” Said Celestia to Storm. “Now during these dark times I ask you the last of your kind to help us defend our lands and if possible train my little ponies so they can defend themselves when the time comes.” Said Celestia to the survivors. “Will you help us?” Said Celestia. Storm looked at his brother, he nodded to him, then he looked at the rest of the team, they each nodded to him. “Three months…” Said Storm to Celestia. “What?” Asked Celestia. “In three months we will have your ponies trained to defend themselves, turrets and stationary weapons will be ready for the coming battle…” Said Storm. “Thank you so much! All of you! Now allow me to introduce you to your pony companions. They will tell you what will you need to know about the land and my subjects and help you in the upcoming battle.” Said Celestia pointing her hoof to the mane 6. “We kind of work alo-” Was about to say Fat Joe only to be interrupted by his brother. “We will gladly accept all the help we can get...” Said Storm. “Very well. When do we start?” Said Celestia. “Now…” Said Storm. [Location… Equestria/The Ark/Founders Tower] Dusk… Once the Survivors left the Palace followed by the mane 6 they headed back to Ponyville in the helicopter, so the mane 6 packed their personal belongings because they will start living in the Ark with the survivors, at least during these dark days. Still… Resistance is a bit mad to still keep of living in the Ark, but they know it's only during the war, and as soon as the war finishes they will definitely stay on land for the rest of their lives. Right now inside the Founder's Tower… “There, the letter was send Storm!” Said a cheerful Twilight, she is with Spike in the master control room of the tower, were she just sent a letter to the Princess. Storm told in the letter to the princess to send a message to all the ponies that are willing to fight for their land during these dark times… They all must head to Manehattan by the end of the week, were boats will pick them up to the Ark were they will train for the coming war with the griffons. They picked up Spike when they went back to Ponyville. “Impressive…” Said Storm with his bomb suit watching the procedure the Ponies used to send letters via dragon fire. “Not as impressive as this place.” Said Twilight almost going wild since they arrived, for the vast technology this Ark possesses. “Indeed…” Said Storm. Now he was watching Spike “Spike… That’s your name isn’t it?” Said Storm to Spike knowing he is a dragon from what Twilight told him. “Yes, Twilight's number one assistant!” Said Spike with pride. “Hope you don’t mind if I make a full scan of your body in the morning, so I can know the composition of the enemy.” Said Storm to Spike. “The WHAT?!” Said Spike. “Spike remember what I told you about the problems with the Griffons in the morning?” Said Twilight “Yea, something about territory.” Said Spike. “Well they are going to war against all the ponies of Equestria and they have dragons on their side.” Said Twilight to Spike. And before Spike could say something Twilight added. “They are planning to eliminate all of the ponies of Equestria. Right now our only hope is the help of Storm and his friends.” Said Twilight. “That’s terrible!” Spike could simply not imagine the idea of someone killing all the ponies including his crush Rarity. “That is why I need to scan your body, so I can upgrade our weaponry and make it able to take down the dragons of the dark swamp…” Said Storm to Spike. Somehow Spike knew the dragons of the dark swamp from some books, they are the last of the dragons who still harm and eat the ponies who dare to enter their territory. “Will you help us then Spike?…” Said Storm. Spike only asked a question before giving his final answer. “The weapons will only be used to harm the mean dragons and not the rest right?” Said Spike. “That’s the plan…” Said Storm. “Then I will do it for Rarity.” Said Spike. “Very well tomor-*BOOM!* They still at it?...” Said Storm watching through the window, seeing an explosion from CCity, knowing it was his brother playing with explosives. “Probably.” Said Twilight a bit ashamed of her friends… same could say Storm, ashamed also a bit of his brother and the Resistance. [Location… Equestria/ The Ark/ CCity] Present time… “Wooooo! That was a big one!” Said Pinkie Pie as she watch the testing of some experimental rocket launchers used by some members of the Resistance, and Big Fat Joe. “I Know! Haha!” Said Fat Joe. “Can I try?” Said Dash “Hay no, you just blow up one of those target things, it's my turn!” Said Applejack. “Why don’t we do it all at the same time!” Said Pinkie Pie to her friends in her usual Pinkie manner. “Sounds good to me.” Said Applejack. “Yea it would look the explosion 20% cooler!” Said Dash very excited. “30% if we use my Master Party Cannon!” Said Pinkie Pie taking out of her mane her personal master party cannon… Wait, what?! That's a Basilisk Cannon! “Am I still drunk?” Said Clive watching the huge cannon. “Is she always that random?” Asked Fat Joe to Dash. “24/7” Said Dash. Pinkie Pie pulled a lever of the cannon… BOOOM!!! Now the full Ark has been showered by balloons and confetti. “I don’t wish to know how much it will take us to clean all of that.” Said Mason drinking a bit from his whisky bottle.

In the end the brothers chose to separate the teams. Instead of teaching the ponies as one they will teach them in factions that will be called from now on… PonySecurity & PonyResistance.

During that week Storm and Fat Joe worked in the laboratory of the Ark. They were designed new weapons, including special AA turrets. They also made different kinds of tests on Spike, most of them were… Harmless. Back in land many ponies took the news of the war really hard, they could hardly believe their species are at the brink of extinction, unless they fight for their families by joining the army of the Ark, princess Celestia announced. Believe it or not, lots of ponies from Cloudsdale, Ponyville, Canterlot and Manehattan showed up at the end of the week in Manehattan docks. From commoners like Big Macintosh to high society ponies like Fancy Pants. Every single one of them willing to fight for their families. They all were surprised by the boats of the Ark that pick them up, they are made of technology they never seen before specially since the boats had no driver for they were controlled via wireless remote from the master control room. Once the ponies arrived to the ark they were separated randomly to each faction where they will learn how to shot a gun and how to work their desired class. [Location… The Ark/ Security Headquarters] Present time… Right now many ponies have the chance to talk with each other before the members of PonySecurity gives them a speech of what are they going to learn during their stay in the ark. Fancy Pants was looking at the crowd of ponies waiting patiently for whatever is going to happen, until something big and red called his attention. It was Big Macintosh waiting patiently and chewing his straw of hay. Fancy Pants approached him willing to talk to somepony in order to remove the nervousness he had because the very idea of he is going to war. “Hello my good sir, quite the day isn’t it?” Said Fancy Pants standing next to Macintosh. “Eeeyup.” Answered Macintosh. “I know that we don’t know each other… But do you believe we will survive this… War?” Asked Fancy Pants. “Eeeyup.” Come the answer again. “Not a pony of many words I see. Name is Fancy Pants.” Said Fancy Pants extending one of his hooves to Macintosh. “Big Macintoch.” He said shaking hooves with Fancy Pants. This is the beginning of a long friendship between Macintosh and Fancy Pants… They weren’t the only well-known ponies there on Pony Security Side; there also was Carrot Top, Cesar, Octavia, Bon Bon, Derpy, Soarin, Donut Joe, Doctor Stable, Zephyr Verve and Doctor Whooves who accidentally end up there because of the Tardis. And many more. [Location… The Ark/ CCity] Present time… Same as Pony Security, the ponies on Pony Resistance side were also waiting for the speech. “I can’t believe I have to fight with these commoners. I rather be locked in a dungeon than be here.” Said Blue Blood who was forced to join the fight by orders of princess Celestia. “My, my, if it isn’t the bad blood, in a really bad mood.” Said Zecora who was next to Blue Blood, she knows the kind of pony he is from what Rarity told her of the gala. “Blue Blood, actually. And who might you be miss?” Asked Blue Blood from the Zebra. “Zecora of the Everfree Forest, where things are gloom in said forest.” Said Zecora. “Is it me or you speak in rhymes?” Asked Blue Blood in interest. “Rhymes are part of me, as same as the brews I make for me.” Said Zecora. 'This is hopeless.' Thought Blue Blood to himself, still he doesn’t know why but he finds her attractive. Same as PonySecurity there were many well-known ponies in PonyResistance like, Mr. Cake, Caramel, Cheerilee, Lyra, Dj Pon3, Berry Punch, Colgate, Nurse Redheart, Spitfire and the Great & Powerful Trixie who also ended up there by mistake because of traveling with the Doctor inside the Tardis. And many more. [Location… The Ark/ PonySecurity and Pony Resistance] Present… All the Ponies of both factions were silenced by the appearance of the Princesses; Celestia was present in PonySecurity side wile Luna was present in PonyResistance side. “My little ponies I am really grateful of your presence here during this dark times!” Celestia. “For we need all the help we can get to defend our home land!” Luna using her royal canterlot voice as always. “But listen to this! The Griffon Empire will never ever defeat us, as long we have each other!” Celestia. “And as long as we believe in peace and justice!” Luna. “We are ponies willing to fight for a great cause!” Celestia. “We are ponies willing to fight for our families!” Luna. “We are PonySecurity/PonyResistance!” both Celestia and Luna. The ponies gone wild with cheers and clops to the Princesses of both factions. “Now my little ponies I want you to meet your instructors, they will teach you to use weapons, and survive in the battlefield!” Celestia. “I present to you the last humans of the Ark!” Luna. Both Security and Resistance survivors stood next to their respective princesses. Some ponies were surprised by the strange creatures and others kept cheering and clopping. Until both Storm and Fat Joe lift their right hand silencing the ponies. “Ponies of the land of Equestria! We are here to help you during these dark times by teaching you to use advanced weapons during the war with the Griffons! We will also teach you to use advanced technology to your advantage that will change the course of the battlefield!” Said both Storm and Fat Joe. “But first we shall teach you how to move effectible on the battlefield using our ‘SMART system’ also known as ‘Smooth Movement Across Random Terrain’. And how to work your preferred Class!” “Classes are Soldier, Medic, Engineer, Operative and our new class called War Pilot!” “The Soldiers are masters of destruction, carrying HE Charges to complete Destruction Objectives, and Molotovs. They never run out of ammo, and can hand out ammo to teammates as well!” “The Medic has the job to keep everyone alive. He can use Health buffs to make his and his teammate's life meters longer, and rescue incapacitated teammates and VIPs using Revive Syringes!” “The Engineer is concerned primarily with building, repairing, and upgrading things on the battlefield. He can also upgrade his and his teammate's weapons to do more damage, and plant hidden landmines!” “The Operatives are the spies. They can sabotage to complete certain Mission Objectives and can also disguise themselves as the enemy!” “The War Pilots duty is to transport the troops to safety into the battlefield, and bring air support to teammates in problems!” “Once you chose your class please press the enter button!” Said finally both Storm and Fat Joe. “What button? What is he talking about?” Said Bon bon and Lyra. Until an icon magically appeared on top of every pony's heads. “See the icon on your heads! That’s going to be your class! Now everypony head to your respective teammates so we can begin your training!” Said both Storm and Fat Joe. Everypony headed to their respective team. “Good luck my little ponies!” Said Celestia and Luna. [Note… before we can proceed, here are the results…] [PonySecurity] Macintosh… Heavy Type, Engineer.

[The rest background ponies… you will meet them in the battlefield] [Location… Canterlot/ Palace/ War room] 3 months later… It took the survivors two full months to train the ponies in their respective classes, thanks to technology of easy learning made by the twins. The next month the survivors along with the trained ponies, they spend it arming the cities of Manehattan and Canterlot with strategically located turrets of all types including the prototype AA turret and stationary AA turret. They also asked the ponies of Cloudsdale to move their flying city over the Ark so it can be reshaped into a war carrier, where unicorns and earth-ponies of all kinds will be able to stand on it, instead of fall from the clouds as always. Ponyville is more likely the target of the griffons, they will attack first there and then they will move towards Manehattan, Cloudsdale and Canterlot. Once the griffons eliminated the main threat they will spread all over Equestria. But they will receive two big surprises: Ponyville will be evacuated and will be filled with well hidden explosives and by the time the griffons settled their base camp there it will explode with everyone in it. While Cloudsdale will be nowhere to be seen. Right now inside the palace, the war room is filled with computers, screens and a huge hologram table what will display the battlefield in white 3D structures. Every pony inside the room were mostly Operatives working on data and Engineers keeping the machines up and running. Fat Joe, Storm, Celestia and Luna are around the table, that was showing them visual of the Griffin Empire… “Brother don’t you think is a bit overkill to send Operatives to spy on them? I mean just look at Celestia & Luna guards, they only have spears as weapons. And I almost bet the big advance weapon the griffons will get is just a bow.” Said Fat Joe to Storm. “Brother you were always bad at bets, and most importantly… Never underestimate the enemy… Know his weaknesses… Know his plans…” Said Storm. “When will the Operatives return?” Asked Luna to Storm. “As soon they have all the information we need from our enemy…” Said Storm. “Will they be ok?” Asked Celestia worry for Twilight since she volunteer to help with other Operatives of both PonyResistance and PonySecurity side. “They will be fine as long as they don’t break their disguise…” Said Storm now watching the table looking the main castle of the griffins called Dark Blade, it looks almost like Minas Tirith of the lord of the rings… Only bathed in Sauron sauce. [Location… Griffin Empire/ Dark Blade / Top floor/ Griffin's War room] Present time… Leney and Sobotka are disguised as elite griffin guards, thanks to the disguise kit that looks almost like a small Ipad that allows the user to get the full identity of the enemy including vocal cords. Unless the user is discovered or hurt, the disguise will disappear. Disguised people or ponies using the kit can be seen like not wearing any disguise by other teammates, this helps the Operatives not be shot while behind the enemy lines. They were heading to the war room while the other operatives were retrieving information elsewhere. As soon they got to the war room entrance they were greeted by dark elite griffin guards that were guarding the entrance. “Hold it! Who goes there?!” Said one or the dark elites. “Your mom.” Said Sobotka, shooting his altered Rhett AR with silencer killing the dark elite, and making disappear his own disguise. The other was about to sound the alarm only to be shot by Leney with his altered Kross SMG also with a silencer. Once they made sure the dark elites were dead they hide the bodies and took their identities, standing in front of the war room waiting for the next meeting that will happen in 15 minutes. “What do you think, how the others do?” Asked Sobotka to Leney. “They are good ponies. I bet they already finished gathering information... Now keep your mouth shut, unless you wish our identities to be discovered.” Said Leney. “Fine…” Said Sobotka. “And turn down the volume of the radio.” Said Leney. “Done.” Said Sobotka changing the volume in his ear piece radio. [Location… Dark Blade/ Weapon factory] Present time… Zephyr along with his team of girls are having a very hard time trying to keep themselves disguised. The dragons can smell them, so they try to keep getting dirty and keep changing disguises every once guards call their attention for the awful smell. The name of the girls is Bon Bon and Lyra, their mission is to gather all the information and plans they can find in the enemy's weapons factory. The weapons factory is a huge forge where they are currently building armors, shields, helmets and staff looking weapons… strange there is not a single sword or spear been build. “This is strange… The griffons are famous for their skill with a spear, yet I don’t see any spears being forged.” Said Zephyr to his team he is wearing the Bug suit. They were disguised as low rank griffin guards, and looking around the place watching many griffons work with steel and strange crystals stones. “Maybe they are being built in another forge.” Said BonBon wearing the Look suit. “No, this is the main forge they always built it here.” Said Lyra wearing the Anger suit. She studied a bit of the griffin culture back in magic school. “I agree… Girls look around, I will try to find the scrolls containing the weapons they build and other useful information.” Said Zephyr, taking flight. “Roger.” Said both girls, starting to look around and if possible talk with some of the workers for information without calling attention to themselves. [Location… Dark Blade/ General Kokki private quarters.] Present time… General Kokki is one of the five griffin sons of king Shien. He won his position by cheating in the special selection duel against is Brother Jack. Kokki is nothing more than a fat griffon. He was inside his private quarters eating some living mice while he waited to be called to the next war meeting with his dad and the other generals. Until a knock came from the door of his private quarters. “Who is it?” Said the fat griffon still eating mice. “Special service.” Said somegriffon behind the door it sounded female. “Fine I am coming.” Said the griffon still munching the mice, heading to the door, once he opens it he found a good looking female griffon with elite guard armor. “Well hello there. What can I do for you sweet heart.” Said Kokki. “Lots of things actually.” Said sensually the female griffon. “May I come in?” She asked Kokki. “Definitely.” Said Kokki standing aside allowing the female griffon to enter his private quarters. Then he closed the door locking it so no one will disturb him. “Should we take this to my bedroom?” Asked Kokki to the female griffon with a big grin. “Sure.” She said, following him. “What is your name pretty?” He asked her. “Sparkle.” She said… Once they enter his bedroom and close the door… silenced gunshots could be heard on the inside… The door of the bedroom opened and Twilight Sparkle come out disguised as Kokki. She was wearing the freak suit only specially design for mares and carrying an altered FRKN-3K AR, with silencer. “I knew those marebond books were going to be useful one day.” Said Twilight to herself until she heard a knock on the door. “General Kokki. It’s time for the meeting.” Came from behind the door of kokki’s living quarters. “Be right there.” Said Twilight heading outside. Now you must be wondering what make Twilight to kill in cold blood? That is because last month the Griffin Empire sent them a huge box filled with heads of all the ponies that were living on their lands… From adults to little innocent fillies… Except of those who managed to escape in time or are still hidden in griffin lands. [Locarion… Dark Blade/ War room] 15 min later… “Here they come stay quiet.” Said Leney to Sobotka. “Roger.” Sobotka Say. Coming towards them was the king of the griffins… Shien, followed by 5 Generals dressed in golden armor, one strange thing that looked like a lizard hidden behind dark blooded cult clothes, and what could be clearly four old unicorn ponies in runic garments. What they found funny is that Twilight Sparkle was among the generals, she winked at Leney and Sobotka, and they winked back at her. The griffins, ponies and lizard thing enter the war room, then they closed the door. Once they closed it, Leney and Sobotka placed a special device on the door to both eavesdrop what is going on inside the said room. Inside the war room… Inside the room there was a huge table with a draw map of all Equestria on top of it. And on the walls could be seen drawings of old griffin kings. The King took a seat at the head of the table, the generals stayed standed in their respected positions on the left side of the table, Twilight followed their example, the reptile thing hidden in blooded cult clothes stayed stranded next to the king. The old unicorns in runic garments stayed also standed on the right side of the table. “Now that everyone is reunited we can begin.” Said Shien. He is a very old mean griffon with a lust for power and riches. He would even kill his own family for power... Actually he really did it, he killed his own father to take the throne. “Have we received any news of our spies in Equestrian lands General Titan?” Said Shien to Titan, Titan is a really strong griffon who single handedly killed a Cyclops, he has a nasty scar on the left side of his face. “We still haven’t received any news from them ever since the ponies returned from a so called training in the ocean.” Said Titan with a tiny hint of worry in his voice because their spies never reported late. “I say they are clearly dead…” Said Riper the most serious and deadly of the generals… a quick story of his life is killing a manticore at the age of 5. The rest of his story is to badass to be posted here. No one has ever seen him without his war helmet so they don’t know who he really is, rumors claim his face is filled with scars it can no longer be recognized, that’s why he always wear his helmet. “Ha! What makes you say that? They are the best of our spy elites, they can’t be killed by simple ponies.” Said Slash the general, he is nothing but a griffon with a pretty face, but he won is position because of his skill with the spear and how he likes to torture really violently his victims before killing them. “Their code is to report every week… if they miss one, they are either dead or they have betrayed us.” Said Riper to Slash. Slash just shut his mouth. “Then we have underestimated our enemies…” Said Shien really angry. “Still… How long till the spell is ready to kill the ponies and the princesses in one go?” Said Shien to the old ponies. “It’s almost ready my king, soon they will be nothing more than dust.” Said one of the old unicorns, a wicked grin could be seen on his face. “Sorry to interrupt but what is the spell again?” Said Kokki or should I say Twilight Sparkle. The king facepalmed, still he didn’t found it strange, he always knew his son was useless but still it didn’t come to his mind he could be a spy. “Not this again! We have told you six times already!” Said one of the unicorns. “Come on, one last time won’t hurt.” Said Kokki. “Fine!” Said one of the unicorns. “The spell is to summon a hellfire that will cover all canterlot, killing all the ponies in it including the princesses.” Said another of them. “The best part is that we can do it from far away and nopony will know what hit them.” Said other of them. “Good, what is it need to complete the spell?” Said Kokki. “Us of course, the last of the hermits.” Said in unison the now called hermits. Twilight couldn’t believe it; the hermits have dared to betray their own race. This will not go unpunished. “Besides that. How long till all our super weapons are ready to use?” Asked Shien to the last general. “They will be ready in the next three days.” Said the last general. “Good then we will be able to attack the ponies before time.” Said Shien. “What about our allies? Are they ready?” Said Shien to the lizard standed next to him. “We are more than ready… We will devour every single pony.” Said the lizard. “Excellent soon the ponies will cease to exist and we shall be the superior species. HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!” Said Shien laughing like a maniac along with others inside the war room. The only ones who didn’t laugh are Riper, Titan and Kokki. “That’s not likely of you Kokki. Why didn’t you join them?” Said Titan with suspicion to Kokki. His answer… Is filling the unicorns with bullets in the war room. Twilight's disguise disappeared revealing her to every one inside. “Assassin!” Said the King hiding behind the reptile. The last of the generals was about to capture her only to be shot and killed. “Shields!” Said quickly Reaper. Every one of the generals touched a stone that is located in middle of their armors activating some kind of magic shield. Twilight tried to shot Reaper only to find the bullets useless against the magic shield. “Oh, no.” Said Twilight. “There’s no escape assassin give up!” Said Slash with a big grin already picturing how to torture the mare. The doors of the war room opened, revealing the griffon dark elites that were guarding the door. “Excellent! Guards apprehend her!” Said Slash to the guards only to receive shots. Good he activated his shield or he would be dead. The guards disappeared revealing Leney and Sobotka with guns in hands. “Twilight, are you ok?!” Said Sobotka. “Yea.” She joined them. “There’s no escape give up assassins!” Said Slash to the three of them. “What are you, a broken record? We are the ones with the guns, I don’t see any of you with weapons.” Said Leney to Slash. “Why the need if we have the king of the dragons with us.” Slash answer him. “The what?” Said Leney. Only to see the lizard thing removing the cloak on his head revealing the king of the dark swamp dragons (Remember that dragons can change sizes like that Spike episode). He is a dragon with dark scales and blue Sapphire eyes. He spit fire towards the so called assassins but Twilight thinking fast, she teleported with Leney and Sobotka away from the danger just in time. “They have escaped!” Said Slash. “Don’t just stand there! Sound the alarm and get them!” Said Shien for he knows is really hard for a pony to teleport great distances. In other words they are trapped in the castle. “Your orders are my command!” said in unison what remains of the generals and headed outside. “Dammit!” Said Shien. “Don’t worry my king they are only trying to stop the inevitable, sure we lost our quick victory.” Said the dragon king looking at the bodies of the hermits. “Look at the bright side. We still have the weapons the hermits created for us. That’s what matters… After all they were going to be my food any way.” Said the dragon king now devouring the dead hermits. [Location… Dark Blade/ War factory/ weapon plans storage room] Present… Zephyr was inside the storage room that hold scrolls of the weapons the griffins produced for themselves by now he was taking pictures of every single weapons plan thanks to the disguise kit that comes with a camera. “Zephyr! Come in!” Came from the radio of Zephyr it was a female voice. “This is captain Zephyr. How can I help you?” Answered Zephyr the radio signal. “Zephyr! They found us out! It won’t take long for the place to be filled with dragons and guards! Activate the charges! And meet us at the extraction point as soon as possible! Weapons hot!” Came again from the radio. “Roger!” Said Zephyr to the radio again and taking quickly pictures of the last scrolls and headed outside the storage with his altered bulpdaun with bayonet attached. “Girls! It’s time to go! Weapons hot!” Said Zephyr changing the radio signal talking with Lyra. In another part of the factory… “Roger!” answer Lyra. “What is it?” Said BonBon. “Looks like they found us, you still have the charge's trigger right?” Said Lyra to BonBon. “Yes.” Said BonBon back. “Activate them.” Said Lyra. BonBon got out the trigger from the pockets of her suit and clicked the trigger. [Location… The Dark Blade/ Outside] Present time… The large army of griffons were camping just outside the castle along with some dragons who were taking a nap until… BOOM!!! Various parts of the castle started to explode most of the right side and away from the weapons factory that lies beneath the left side of the castle. It called the attention of every one, the dragons quickly took flight to see what is going on inside. [Location… The Dark Blade/ The extraction point] Present time… On one side it was Twilight with Leney and Sobotka, shooting stupid guards that dared to stand in their way, still the explosion is a good distraction to call the attention away from them, even if they are making such noise with their guns. On the other side it was Zephyr flying ahead with Lyra and BonBon following him as fast as they could, also shooting griffons that dared to get close to them. They all arrived in time to the extraction point, it's just one abandoned alley where they place a teleporter that will take them to the Canterlot Palace in less than ten seconds flat. “Good we are all here!” Said Twilight watching the rest of the team. “Quickly activate the teleporter!” Said Leney to Sobotka, while he keept firing to griffons that dared to get close to them. “Be done in a minute!” Said Sobotka activating the teleporter. It looked like a simple small metal box, but it has the power to open portals. “They are retreating!” Said Zephyr watching the griffons retreat. “No they are not!” Said BonBon, for her look suit has the ability to see temperature readings, other kind of griffons are coming… With the griffons… “Are you sure this things work?...” Said Reaper to Titan. While holding what looks like a staff with a stone in shape of an eagle head at the end of it. “Yes they do. Just like our armors.” Said Titan with his own staff, he pointed it to a simple jar and shot something that look like a laser beam, destroying the jar in the process. “Fascinating… Alright guards activate your shields and deal with the intruders…” Said Reaper to the guards that were following him to capture or kill the assassins. Back to the extraction point… “Done!” Said Sobotka watching the box creating what looked like a green portal. “Everypony get in!” Said Twilight to the teams, they all started to enter the portal except BonBon. “What are you doing get inside?!” Said Lyra to BonBon. “I am going to activate the remaining charges!” Said BonBon taking out from her pocket another trigger… Only to get hit on her back by some kind of laser beam, dropping the detonator on the ground of the alley. “BONBON!” Screamed Lyra. Hope you ppl like it and please leave a comment if possible. Also Spoilers... the war will start in chapter 5... Will you be ready by then? > The Calm Before The Hurricane > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- [News coming from the Normandy]... [Receiving transmission from Admiral NecromancerX69]... Late Chapter is Late! Forgive me but those Reapers just don't stay death. Thank my friend Zephyr for the pre-read. I <3 you Zephyr! It begins... In case you get lost use this website>>> Brink : Wiki Chapter 4 The Calm Before The Hurricane [Location… The Dark Blade/ The Extraction Point] Present time… “BONBON!” Screamed Lyra again watching the body of her best friend fall on the ground. “You fucks!” Said Lyra with true anger and poison in her words watching a new kind of griffons coming with staffs and heavy golden armor. They were shooting at her with strange beams of energy. She took her weapon evading the shots of the enemy and started to counter their attacks with bullets of her Galactic SMG against the griffons for what they did to her friend, only to find her bullets not even scratching their armors thanks to the magic shields in their armors. She stopped firing once she felt something on her shoulder. Looking quickly at it, it was the hand of Storm. “Help your friend I will cover you!” Said Storm removing his hand from Lyra, and placing it on his EZ-Nade AGL, he started to shot rounds of explosive grenades at the enemy. Behind him was his brother with a strange looking weapon that looked like a missile launcher, he wasn’t using it, he was attacking the griffons with one of his altered Tampa SMG. Some of the griffon’s magic shields started to crack, making them take back steps and still keep shooting with their staffs. Lyra taking the opportunity she picked up BonBon from the floor and quickly headed inside the portal. But not before… “Joe!” Said Lyra passing the detonator to Big Fat Joe, while she was carrying BonBon on her back. “Thanks kid!” Said Fat Joe, only to be interrupted by… “ROAR!” It was one of the Dragons heading right towards them. “Brother! Use it before we blow up this place!” Said Storm still firing grenades to the griffons. Big Fat Joe deployed himself with the missile launcher pointed to the dragon. “Open your mouth you big fuck!” Said Fat Joe with a mad grin. The dragon comply opening it to try and spit fire balls. “Bingo!” Fat Joe pull the trigger of his missile launcher. It send some strange missile painted in the shape of a shark that says good night sweet prince. The missile entered the dragon's mouth… as soon it entered his mouth it exploded on the inside. The strange thing is that it froze the dragon on the sky turning it into color blue, once his frozen body fall on the ground it blow into pieces. [Location… Dark Blade/ War room] Present time… “ARGGG!” Said the Dragon King, he looked like he was in pain. “What’s wrong did the ponies tasted bad?” Said Shien looking to his ally strangely. “No! Someone just dared to kill one of my kin!” Said the Dragon King with anger . “What!?” Said Shien not believing him. [Location… Dark Blade/ The Extraction Point] Present time… Once the griffin saw what happen to the dragon they retreated. “HAHAHAHAHA! Watch them run!” Said Fat Joe only to receive a shot beam on his left arm, good he has his armor or else… The one who shot him was Riper, on his side is Titan. “Surrender… and I might show some mercy…” Said Reaper. “Hahahahahhahaa! Not in a million years! Bye-bye!” Said Fat Joe clicking the trigger Lyra give him. The charges placed inside the factory of Dark Blade… blow up. BOOOM!!! The place started to shake, making the griffon generals and the brothers lose balance. “Brother Retreat!” Said Storm to Fat Joe. Both entered their teleporter and closed the gateway. Once the shake stopped both Titan and Reaper surprisedly headed back to the War room to report. Shien is not going to be pleased… [Location… Dark Blade/ War room] 1 hour later… The griffons were reunited again inside the War room with the Dragon King… Outside the room is a small chaos for the destruction of the explosives, by now the army is trying to extinguishing the fire and find survivors. Shien was silent in his seat… “My king…” Said Titan only to be silenced by the risen claw of Shien. “What happened to the factory?” Ask Shien. “Gone…” Said Slash with sweat on his face. “Mmmm… Hahahahahahhahahaha!” Shien was laughing. “What is so funny my King…” Said Reaper. “Well we might have lost our factory, but we still have the other castles producing more weapons for the rest of our empire.” Said Shien with a mad grin. “Also we might not be able to attack them soon, so we will move according to plan… by the end of the month… we take Equestria.” Said Shien taking a dagger from his pocket and stabbed the table map leaving it stuck on top of Canterlot. “Don’t go overconfident… You just heard what they did to one of my children.” Said the King of the Dragons. “Don’t worry old friend, we still have the weapons the hermits left us, including special armor for your dragons.” Said Shien. “What about our lost generals. We don’t have the time to train new candidates.” Said Titan. “Don’t worry Titan. I have two griffons in mind who could do a good job.” Said Shien to Titan. “Do I know them?…” Said Reaper. “Yes… my son Jack and my daughter Gilda.” Said Shien with a smirk. “With due respect… I know Jack will do a good job in the general ranks… but your daughter is irresponsible...” Said Reaper. “Let me ask you something Reaper… If you were to choose for the general ranks one of my two children… which one will you choose… My son Kokki, or my daughter Gilda?” Asked Shien to Reaper. “…” Reaper just keep quiet. “That’s what I thought.” Said Shien. “Titan… bring the good news to my children. Reaper… make sure the other castles will have our armies ready in time. Slash… supervise the reconstruction and maintenance of the troops in Dark Blade. Dismissed!” Said Shien, each General headed to deal with their duties. Once the King was alone in the war room with his friend the Dragon King… “Now that we are alone… What are those things that helped the ponies?” Said Shien to his friend. “They look like monkeys to me… Maybe a new breed of diamond dogs or they ally with unknown creatures of the other side of the sea.” Said the Dragon King. “Mmmm… Doesn’t matter. Whoever stands in our way will be stomped.” Said Shien. “Or burned...” Said the Dragon King showing his sharp teeth. [Location… Canterlot/ Palace/ Medical Wing] Present time… “BonBon…” Said a very sad Lyra… She was next to BonBon's bed in the medical wing placed inside the palace, the doctors told her she will survive thanks to the special training they received in the Ark otherwise there will be nothing they could do. BonBon was bandaged all over her chest where the griffons hit her. She is resting at the moment thanks to the tranquilizers the doctors gave her. “Don’t worry she is a good Operative, She don’t die so easily.” Said Fat Joe to Lyra. “Thanks Joe…” Said Lyra smiling to Fat Joe. “No problem. Well got to go, take care of her.” Said Fat Joe leaving Lyra with BonBon. “I will.” Said Lyra now looking at her resting friend… [Location… Canterlot/ Palace/ War room] Present time… “Fascinating…” Said Storm watching the pictures Zephyr took from the factory, he passed them to the Operatives in the War room where they displayed them on the monitors. “This is the job of those… those traitors…” Said Celestia with sour mouth from what she heared from Twilight's lips about how the Hermits were planning to burn Canterlot with a spell. “Indeed… Still from what I can see in their armors, the magic shield can protect them from bullets for a limited time depending on the armor. Light magic armor will destroy very quickly, Medium magic armor will be just like normal soldiers and the Heavy is the hardest to break, but from what I see the back of the Heavy is weak like a medium armor…” Said Storm with interest. “It’s a shame I don’t have the crystals needed to make such armors or new type of guns…” Said Storm now looking at Celestia. “Storm… Those crystals the hermits use… are forbidden…” Said Celestia making her release a tear from her beautiful face. “Why are they forbidden?..” Asked Storm “To create such crystals you need to coat them in blood of innocent lives…” Said Celestia now knowing why they killed all the ponies living in griffon lands. “…” Storm was quiet… He looked again to the pictures... “They just signed their own deaths…” Said Storm to himself. [Location… Griffin Empire/ Castle The Legacy/ Jack's private quarters] Present time… Jack is a good looking griffon loyal to his country and his subjects, he fought once alongside Titan before joining the General ranks. Jack was right now at the moment in his private quarters with her little sister Gilda who just recently arrived… by storming inside his room. “WHAT DO I DO!?!” Said Gilda again to her brother while walking in circles. “Dear sister, I just don’t know what are you talking about, what do you mean by what do you do?” Said Jack worried for her sister since she is always messing around and never seen her worry before. “It's this war! I don’t like it!” She said punching the floor with one of her claws. “You don’t like anything at all sis.” Said Jack. “Is not that! If I go to the war I will meet Rainbow Dash on the battlefield!… I-I don’t want to hurt her… I don’t want to see her die…” Said Gilda punching the floor again only this time releasing a few tears. “Didn’t you say before that you hated the ponies?” Said Jack to her sister. “Well they are not cool! But even if they aren’t cool they don’t deserve to be killed… You know what they will do to the prisoners brother… You saw how they killed all the ponies that lived on our lands…” Said Gilda taking seat on the floor with her sad face looking at her brother. Normaly Gilda would never show this side of her to anyone… her weakness… she would only show it to her brother as she knows he can be trusted for he even consoled her when she returned after that fight with Rainbow Dash, she cried on her brother’s shoulder till she fall asleep that time. “Sister… you know that it's a treason to question father's duties…” Said Jack to her sister. “Father, Ha! The buck with that old geezer! You know he is not in his right mind!” Said Gilda to her brother. “Sister. He is the king and we must obey him no matter the cost.” Said Jack to her sister looking serious. “Ha! I rather die than kill my own friend or another pony!” Said Gilda to her brother in her typical rebel self. “Then you die…” Said Jack taking his own sword. He swing it at Gilda only to be blocked by Gilda’s own sword. “What the hay you are doing!” Said Gilda to her brother, just stopping his sword in time from hitting her. “Duty calls and you are a betrayer!” Said Jack with swords still lock. Once their swords released one another taking both Gilda and Jack a step back they kept fighting, sword clashing against sword. “Don’t tell me you approve dad’s crazy ideals!” Said Gilda still fighting; now you must wonder what make her a good fighter, the answer is training in the military to follow her brother's footsteps because her ancestors all joined the military or were kings. “One must always follow orders no matter the cost!” Said Jack to her sister. For a second there he almost got her head but she managed to block in time. They kept fighting for a bit longer until Jack found the opportunity and made Gilda to drop her sword on the ground… Now his sword end is dangerously close to his sister's neck. “Do it! See if I care! I rather die than kill my own friend!” Said Gilda to her brother as tough as she could be. She closed her eyes waiting for the worse. “Then you die for your loyalty to the enemy…” *Slash* something fall on the ground and roll… it was… the head of a griffon statue. “What?” Said Gilda as she open her eyes and saw the statue that was next to her headless, then she saw her brother sheathing his sword. “Do you really think I would kill my own favorite sister?” Said Jack with a smirk. “You stupid fool I almost fell for it!” Said Gilda blushing a bit of embarrassment. “You did fell for it. You should see the look on your face.” He say laughing only to receive a punch on his shoulder by her sister. “What was that for anyway?!” Said Gilda really mad. “Just to make sure you are on my side.” Said Jack. “What do you mean?” Asked Gilda. “I am loyal to my country and my subjects, dear sister; I clearly disapprove dad's way of ruling the empire. Right now at the moment I am in charge of keeping safe the hidden and remaining ponies of our lands…” Said Jack. “Brother… if dad finds out what are you doing…” Said Gilda with shock. “I know, but as I say, duty first… and the Empire's subjects safety is firster than the king’s orders.” Said Jack. “Isn’t that clearly treason Jack.” Said a new voice in the room. Both Jack and Gilda went pale… they turned their heads to the source of the sound to find Titan among them… “Titan… when did you?” Said Jack to Titan. “I was here since the fight, you were just so entertained you didn’t noticed me.” Answered Titan. “What happens now then?…” Said Jack waiting for the worse. “Nothing. You saved my life once on the battlefield and I save yours now by keeping my mouth shut.” Said Titan smiling. “Thank you my friend.” Said Jack. “Don’t mention it. Also I am not here to spy on you, I am here to inform you both are now Generals under your father’s orders.” Said Titan. “Report to the barracks to receive new armor and weapons.” Said Titan again before leaving Jack's quarters. Once both Jack and Gilda were alone… “I still don’t want to go to the war…” Said Gilda watching the floor. “Sister, this is the perfect opportunity, I have tried my best to get the rank of general so I can save more lives, now you have the opportunity to save many lives with your position as general.” Said Jack lifting gently her sister’s face with one of his claws. “But I don’t know how to lead!” Said Gilda admitting she is more of a fighter and follower than a leader. “Don’t worry sis I will help you on that.” Said Jack smiling. “Really?” Asked Gilda. Her brother nods his head, making Gilda give him a brotherly hug… [Location… The Ark/ Founders Tower] 1 week left before… the war… During the past month the brothers kept upgrading weapons and armors of their respective factions so they can become more resistant against the griffin staffs. Also they evacuated every single civilian form Canterlot, Cloudsdale, Ponyville and Manehattan. They sent them to the Ark where they will be safer thanks to the special defenses the Ark already possess. Cloudsdale is still located on top of the Ark and still being reshaped and upgraded with magic and technology, maybe in a month or two it will be finished as the carrier. At the moment the mane 6 were located in the play room of the Ark Founder’s Tower… “It’s almost time…” Said Twilight wearing her freak suit and looking outside the window to the horison where the enemy is located . “Don’t think too much of it dear it’s bad for the skin.” Said Rarity wearing the Jesse suit, seated on one of the sofas. “We are at the brink of war and you can only think of fashion!” Said Ranbow Dash wearing the Dude suit while she played pool with Applejack. “Well of course my dear you know me.” Said Rarity to Rainbow. “What ya think of all this Twilight?” Said Applejack still playing pool. She was wearing the Tank suit. “That is something we must do for the sake of everypony… That’s what I think…” Said Twilight releasing a sigh. “No I was meaning of the pool game.” Said Applejack thinking how to hit properly the ball. Twilight fall on the floor after hearing Applejack said that. “…” Fluttershy wearing the Voice suit was as quiet as a corpse with fear reaching every part of her skin, for the single thought of war… She was seated next to Rarity. Pinkie Pie wearing the Firestarter suit, she was drinking vodka and listening to Iron Maiden thanks to the iPod Big Fat Joe lend her. She was head-banging like never before. “Aces High!” Said Pinkie Pie one last time before passing on the floor. “Pinkie you are so random.” Said Rainbow Dash leaving the pool game with Applejack to pick Pinkie Pie from the floor and take her to her room. Once they were out… “Fluttershy you have been quite quiet is everything alright?” Said Rarity to her best friend. “...” The answer was a tear coming from her friend’s face. “Aww darling don’t you worry everything is going to be alright.” Said Rarity hugging her friend. “As long we have eachother nothing is going to happen to us.” Said Twilight joining Rarity also giving a hug to her friend. “Thank you…” Said Fluttershy really glad to have the best of friends. Outside Pinkie Pie's room… Rainbow Dash come out of Pinkie Pie's room after leaving her friend on the bed. Outside was Applejack waiting. “She sure likes to party.” Said Applejack after a few chuckles. “I know.” Said Rainbow Dash also chuckling a bit. Until they both stay quiet… “…” Rainbow Dash was looking at Applejack and she to her. “Applejack… There is something I wish to tell you from a long time… and since I… we… are going to war…” Said Rainbow Dash blushing a bit. “Me too Sugarcube…” Said Applejack also blushing. “I…” They both say… “You go first.” Said Applejack. “No, you go first.” Said Rainbow Dash. “How about both at the same time…” Said Applejack still blushing. “Sure…” Said Rainbow Dash also blushing. A minute pass until… “I am in love with you!” Screamed Rainbow Dash. “I miss applebuck- wait, WHAT!?!” Said Applejack not expecting that. What she also didn’t expect was… a kiss on the lips from Rainbow Dash… Once Dash removed the kiss from her friend she looked at her really surprised. “I-I am sorry!” Said Rainbow Dash about to get away only to be stopped by Applejack's strong hoof holding her down and with a quick movement she returned the kiss to her best friend with more passion… [Location… Canterlot/ Palace/ War Room] 1 day left… “It’s time…” Said Storm observing the hologram table where the troops of the enemy has began to march toward their destiny… War… Right now all Operatives in the war room were clicking buttons at high speed preparing everything for the coming war, receiving reports from the main cities they shall defend, also sending orders to every command post superior. “Hahahaha! The fun is about to start!” Said Big Fat Joe with his typical lust for battle. “Operative BonBon report!” Said Celestia to BonBon; Who was recently assigned to work in the war room since the medics won’t allow her to join the ground forces because of the wound she receive in Dark Blade. “Canterlot PonySecurity defenses are ready!” Said BonBon not removing her eyes from her computer screen that is sending her full details of Canterlot PonySecurity forces. “Operative Lyra report!” Said Luna to Lyra; She is willing to stay with her best friend no matter the odds. “Manehattan PonyResistance defenses are ready!” Said Lyra also not removing her eyes from her computer screen and receiving full details of Manehattan PonyResistance forces. “Everything is going according to plan…” Said Storm now having visual in the main screen of the war room. He can see in it both factions moving around quickly each heading to their designated post. “Open link with the Ark!” Said Fat Joe to one of the Operatives. “Link open!” Said Moondancer. On the screen now appear the mane 6 with spike in the master control room of the founders tower. “Storm! Joe! The last minute preparations are underway! Also double checking the checklist!” Said Twilight. “What about the civilians?...” Asked Storm. “All hidded in the bunkers!” Said Twilight again. “And the Warpilots?” Asked Fat Joe. “Ready and waiting with their respective drop teams! Isn’t that right Fluttershy?” Said now Rainbow Dash and observing her friend. “Hep…” Said Fluttershy hidden behind her mane, she was assigned to one of the PonyResistance medical Warpilot helicopters. “Don’t worry Joe we will head to our designated locations before dawn! Ark signing off!” Said Twilight before the link was closed. “Storm.” Said Celestia. “Yes my goddess...” Said Storm. “Thank you for everything.” Said Celestia really grateful for the Ark survivors' help. “Thank me when the war is over… for now all we can do is wait for it…” Said Storm again observing the hologram table. [Location… Griffin Empire borders far away from the Everfree Forest] Present time… The Griffons are marching… their steps could almost be mistaken by the sound of an earthquake… flying above them are the dragons of the dark swamps, they are carrying the griffon elites on their backs for their armor is too heavy to be able to fly on it or march quickly… Following the dragons on war griffon zeppelins is the kings with their Generals each with their special dark elite forces. On board of the Shadow zeppelin. “Rainbow…” Said Gilda at the head of her zeppelin bridge. “General Gilda, is everything alright?” Said Skull her personal griffon captain. “Yes everything is fine… Are the troops ready?” Said Gilda changing her personality to one of honor and duty. “They are ready to die for you General.” Said Skull. “Skull… Do you trust me?” Asked Gilda. “Till the end of times.” Said Skull. “Good…” Said Gilda observing the ground griffin troops. On board of the Master zeppelin… “HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!” It was Shien laughing and drinking wine in a throne made out of gold, placed on his favorite war zeppelin. “Soon my friend those ponies will be nothing more than dust.” Said the King of the dragons on a throne similar to Shien placed next to him. “I know! Tomorrow will be our victory!” Said Shien asking for more wine from one of the griffon captains that were escorting them. Both kings toast for it and kept drinking wine. On board of the Sinner zeppelin… Jack was in deep mental concentration on the bridge until… “General Jack your troops are ready to battle.” Said Fab the most loyal of the Captains and his friend. “Fab… Where is your loyalty and my troops?” Said Jack. “The Empire and its subjects!” Said Fab. “And the king?” Said Jack. “Can go buck himself!” Said Fab. “Exactly my friend we are going to change the battle for the good of everyone when the time is right.” Said Jack smiling knowing there is hope for everyone… this was decided by the hand of the griffin gods of peace… On board of the Scythe zeppelin… “Death has arrived and nopony will survive…” Said Reaper looking in the distance ready for another victory in the name of the King… yet he couldn’t place a claw of why he believes this war is not going to be easy… [Location… Canterlot] Present time… “Did somepony just talked about me?” Said Derpy cleaning her nose after sneezing for no reason making a screen appear out of nowhere with different options...
