> Revenge feels so good > by last of delta1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Viper squad > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Flashback* "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" I was awoken by a intense electrical shock. I gasped for air, and was sweating heavily. My vision was extremely blurry, but I could see a faint bright red figure. "Ah, that one worked. Welcome back, human." a deep voice said. Soon my vision slowly returned, and I saw a deep red unicorn. I tried to say something, but couldn't. The pony soon gave a evil smile, and his horn was covered in sparks. "Now that your alive again, you are going to tell me everything you know, or we'll have even more fun like earlier." he said, and chuckled. I only stared, and spit my blood onto his face. "F-f-fuck...you," I weakly said. He smiled, and raised a rusty, blood covered knife. He then ran the knife across my face, and made his way down to my chest. I felt the knife slowly sink into my skin, and clenched my teeth as hard as I could. I looked down and saw him peeling a patch of my skin off. Once he peeled the skin off, he licked his blade and moaned. My eyes widened as he lifted up a red hot iron rod. I looked up at his face, and saw nothing but pleasure. Before I could say anything, he slowly placed the iron rod onto my bare flesh, and I screamed in pure pain, and agony. "AHHHHHHHHH... YOU MOTHERFUCKER!! I'LL KILL YOU!!!" I yelled, and shook violently. He only laughed, and pressed harder, and harder. I soon started to faint from the pain, but before I could fall unconscious he electrocuted me again. "Oh I don't think so, you have lasted a full week! I cant just lose you like that." he chuckled. "Now, were is the final human base?" "Up... your ass." I said weakly. He chuckled, and shook his head. He pulled out a bloody... spoon? He then lifted the spoon up to my right eye, and gave a wicked smile. Before he could scoop out my eye, there was a huge explosion that shook the room. Soon a door from behind me flew off it's hinges, and the insane unicorn was shot between the eyes and fell dead. I tried to look behind me, but was to weak. Soon my vision started to fade again. Before I fell unconscious, I saw a black figure run in front of me and start to free me. Soon the figure said something in a voice all to familiar. "Lets get you out of here." [Captain Jacob.S of Viper squad] I awoke with a pounding headache, and gasped for air. Once I regain my breath, I opened my eyes to see noting but rock. I slowly got up and scanned my surroundings. The problem is; I couldn't see shit! So I pulled out my flashlight, and turned it on. The first thing I noticed was a unconscious Corporal Liam Garrison. I quickly rushed to my fallen friend, and checked for a pulse. I gave a sigh of relief, and tried to wake him up. "Hey, hey Liam, wake up ya lazy bastard!" I yelled into his ear. Nothing. I got frustrated, and pimped slapped him. "WAKE... *SLAP* UP! *SLAP*" I continued this for a few seconds, and he finally woke up. "OOOOW... MY FUCKING FACE YOU ASSHOLE!" he said with drool running down his chin. I chuckled, raised to my feet, and offered him a hand. He grabbed my hand, and I pulled him up. "Come on, we got to find the others, and contact command." I said, picking up my Scar, and swung it onto my back. I pulled out my Beretta 92, and checked my ammunition for both weapons. "I got 5 mag's and 3 grenades for my Scar-H, 4 mag's for my Beretta, 2 flares, 2 grenades, and 1 smoke grenade. How much ya got?" "I got 6 mag's for the SSG 3000, 4 mag's for the PP-19 Bizon, 5 throwing knives, and 3 smoke grenades." he said, and put a fresh mag into his Makarov. "Oh, and any idea what the hell happen, and where the fuck we are?" he asked. "Man, if I knew I'd tell ya, but, I don't. I just woke up here." I said. Soon I heard a loud groan, and looked to my left to see Major Victor, or Frost. I rushed to him and slowly helped him up. "Hey, Frost, you alright?" I asked. "Y-yeah, I'm fine. Where are we?" he asked rubbing his head. "Don't know, we just woke up here." "But do any of us have any idea how the hell we got here?" Liam asked. I shook my head. "Nope, all I remember was Celestia in the sky, and a giant pink beam being shot at us." I said. "Look, we need to find the rest of the squad, and anyone else, and try to reach command." I said, and looked to Victor. "Frost, how much ammo ya got?" "I got, 4 mag's for my M416, 3 mag's for my M9, 5 mag's for my 50.cal sniper rifle, 2 grenades, and 3 smoke grenades." he said, and swung his 50.cal on his back. "Alright, now where do we go?" I scanned the area with my flashlight, and found a way out. "Bingo, alright boys follow me." I motioned them to the exit, and moved some rubble out of the way. We m walked through the small, narrow path, and heard some yelling. I stopped, and raised my fist, and listened. "Ow! You fucking idiot!" "Hey man, it's not my fault that you look like a dump ass mutant fish!" "What? That made no sense!" "It doesn't have to!" "OW! I swear to GOD if you hit me again I'll turn you into a women, then into my bitch!" I shook my head, and chuckled. "You fucking idiots." I walked out of the narrow path and into a wide open space to see two morons yelling at each other. "Corporal Michal, and Corporal Rick... Still fighting like children I see." I chuckled. They both stopped and looked at me. "Sir, it's good to see you in one peace." Michal said. "Yeah, we thought everyone was dead." Rick said. "Luckily we got here before you two killed each other." I said. "Hey you two, get out here!" Liam, and Victor walked out. "Well, the teams all together again. Now what?" Michal asked. "We find anyone else, get the hell out of this place, and contact command." I was about to say something else, but I was interrupted by gunshots. "Fuck, what the hell was that?" Victor asked. "It could be the other;, I think it came from down that way. Lets move!" I shouted and led the way. As we continued to run towards the gunfire it got louder, and louder by the second. Whatever was going down was big. Soon we reached another wide open area, and saw Captain Marcus, and his team fighting some kind of overgrown dogs that wore armor, and carried spears. I aimed down my sights. "OPEN FIRE!!" [Meanwhile at twilights house.] Twilight was home reading a new book she found a couple of days ago in a old chest that was at her front door. She had read all about the mystical creatures known as humans, and so desperately wanted to share it with her friends. So, she asked spike to go and gather everybody as soon as possible. Spike reluctantly did as he was told and went to gather everyone. After a half our of waiting, Spike returned with everybody. "Can I please go back to sleep now?" Spike asked, and yawned. Twilight smiled, and nodded. Spike walked up the stares and plopped into his bed. Twilight looked back to her friends with a huge smile. "I'm so glade that your all hear." she said. "Uh, Twi, ya mind explaining why your so happy?" Applejack asked. "Well Applejack, I found this amazing book about humans." "Humans, aren't those just a myth?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Yes, but this book tells us about one of they're lost cities. It was called D.C." Twilight said showing everybody a picture of a large city, and a map. "And the best part, it was in the Everfree forest." "Uhh, so?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Well, I thought that it would be fun to go and find it." Twilight said. "But Twilight dear, that place must be fake. There was no such thing as humans." Rarity said. "Who cares, it could be like one of Daring Dues adventures!" Rainbow Dash said, and flipped through the air. "I'm in." "Ah what the hay, I'm in to." Applejack said. "Umm, I'll come with you too." Fluttershy said "Adventure, ADVENTURE!" Pinkie Pie yelled, and hopped up and down. "Well what kind of friend would I be if I let you all go without me? I'll come as well." Rarity said. "Great! Now, it's going to take a couple of days of planning, and research, so for now just go about your business." Twilight said. Everyone said they're goodbyes, and left. Twilight sat in her study, reading up on a little more about this D.C. But all night she heard these strange noises in the distance. For some reason it gave her chills, but she shrugged it off and continued her research. [????] A dark shadow watched both humans, and Twilight, and let out an insane laugh. "Soon these pathetic ponies will suffer for they're sins." the shadow said in a deep, demonic voice. > How it began and D.C > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- September 5th, 2023 was the day humanity made first contact with the two goddesses, and the first act that caused a hundred year war. They came speaking of peace, and harmony, but in reality they wanted us gone. They said that humanity was nothing but insects that should be stomped on. On the day of they're arrival, this video from London was recorded before the first act of war. [Video] The crowd of soldiers, reporters, and civilians surrounded the large golden stage that the two goddesses, and several guards stood on. She cleared her throat, and spoke up. "Humans of earth, I am princess Celestia, and this is my sister Luna. We are here to bring peace, and harmony to this world." The crowd seemed to be a mix of confused, and happy. "But for us to do this..." She paused as both her and her sisters eyes began to glow as they raised into the sky. "THE INSECTS OF THIS EARTH MUST BE DESTROYED!!" She boomed. Soon the guards leaped off of the stage, and began to slaughter the crowd. Soon the solders, and police officers started to fire they're weapons, but they're bullets bounced off of some kind of purple shield that surrounded the guards. soon the police, and soldiers were engulfed in a bright light, and were evaporated. The camera man was knocked over by a guard, and pleaded for his life. "Please, PLEASE!!" He screamed. Without a second thought, the guard plunged his spear into the camera mans gut. Blood gushed out of the mans mouth as he soon fell limp. Soon the camera was raised, and Celestia was staring into it. "Remember this day humans, for this is the day that you lose your precious technology." Soon her horn started to glow, and the world went dark forever. Soon after the attack on London, England fell into Celestias control. The United States, French, Canadian, and Polish forces immediately launched an attack on London in a attempt to stop the goddesses, and take back England. Unfortunately, without any air support, the main human forces had suffered extreme casualties. The invasion lasted for 3 days straight, until all of the human forces finally broke through the enemy lines thanks to their armor support. When news spread that we have finally broken into England, all of humanity thought that this war would be a short one, but once the human forces entered England they were never heard from again. No one knows what happened, but Over 300,000 solders were lost that day. Three months after the invasion, Celestias forces moved through Ireland, then through France, and soon through all of Europe. Once the ponies taken over Europe Africa attempted to surrender. On that day, all of Africa was engulfed in a bright light, and not a single human was left. All of humanity was surprised, and dumbstruck at what the ponies were capable of, and soon fear slowly entered they're hearts. The Middle East was the next to fall to Celestia, and her forces. Luna led her forces through Asia, Australia, and finally South America leaving nothing but destruction, and death. Before Russia fell they attempted to launched all of their nuclear weapons, but couldn't. Celestia used six strange artifacts to stop the Russians from launching their nukes. Once most of the world was in both of the goddesses control, they set their eyes on the United States. After a 5 year battle for the United States, Celestia, and Luna finally pushed the humans back. With no where left to go, the last of the humans make a final stand at Washington D.C. [Washington D.C] "Sir, the speakers are on." a soldier said. The President thanked the soldier, and walked up to the microphone, cleared his throat, and began to speak. "My fellow brothers and sisters of humanity, today is the day we stand as one. Today is the day we show Celestia, and Luna that we shall not fade from this world. Today is the day we avenge our fallen allies! Today is the day we fight! We will not just disappear into the darkness! NO! We show no fear! We shall fight! For it is in our nature! So my brothers and sisters, I ask you this. Will you just die like a worthless insect? OR WILL YOU FIGHT SIDE BY SIDE UNTIL YOUR FINAL BREATH!!"The president shouted into the microphone. Through out the city a mighty roar echoed through the air as the President raised his weapon. After the President gave his speech the artillery began to fire, and multiple lasers could be seen through the city. For hours, and hours the front lines of the city held firm, but soon fell to the overwhelming numbers of the ponies. Celestia and her forces slowly pushed through the city. Celestias forces suffered extreme casualties, but the human casualties were way worse. The battle lead on for 2 days of non stop bloodshed. Soon Luna's forces broke through the south, and finally broke the humans lines. The remaining humans retreated to the Whitehouse, and made both of the goddesses forces fight for every inch of land. Eventually the goddesses forces broke through, and slaughtered the humans. The President was the last human to fall as he made a last stand. Before he died Celestia came face to face with him. "Celestia...y-you heartless whore. It's nice to finally meet you." The President said staring daggers at Celestia. Celestia gave a smug evil smile as her horn began to glow. "Any last words you weak, pathetic worm?" The President smiled, and stood tall. "Someday Celestia, you and your race will suffer just like we have. I know someday, somehow humanity will return and seek revenge for the men, women, and children you have slaughtered. And as the leader of this great nation, I show no fear in the face of death. I'll stand tall, and die a proud human being!" The president said and saluted a near by flag. Celestia gave a loud insane laugh as her horn grew brighter, and the Presidents world went dark. > The lone wolf/He has escaped > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "OPEN FIRE!!" I pulled the trigger, and fired seven shots into three of the armored dogs. Soon the rest of Viper squad fired their weapons, and mowed down half of the dogs. I looked over to Marcus and his squad, and tried the radio. "Echo squad this is Viper squad, do you read!?" I shouted over the gunfire. He didn't reply for a few seconds, and finally said something. *We read you loud and clear Viper squad! Thanks for the assistance! I think these dog things are pulling back!* Soon enough, the remaining armored dogs started to fall back into some caves. I looked to my team, and motioned them to move up. We moved out of our cover and quickly made our way to Echo squad. Once we reached their positions I had Liam, and Victor watch the caves that the dogs ran into, and walked up to Marcus. "Good to see ya again Marcus." I said shaking his hand. "Same here. Those dogs may have looked soft, but there sure were a shit ton of them." Marcus chuckled. "But do you have any idea what the fuck is going on here?" "That's a big negative. We were trying to find any other squads and contact command, but we heard you guys and made our way here." I said. Marcus was about to say something, but the noise of armor, and howling echoed through the caves. "Sir, we got contact." Victor said. "Damn it!" I said, and thought for a second. I knew we wouldn't be able to fight off all of these dogs, so I scanned our surroundings and spotted a small exit. "Marcus, you and me know that we wont be able hold them off forever, and it would be a waste of ammo to fight these mutts. So I say we fallback into that narrow path, and get the hell out of here." I said. Marcus thought for a moment, and nodded in agreement. "Michal, Rick set some explosives on the entrance of the path. Liam, Victor we will cover Echo squad as they move into the path, and covered Michal, and Rick as they set the explosives. Got it!" "Yes sir!" "Then lock and load!" I put in a fresh magazine, and aimed my weapon at the entrance the dogs were coming from. "Conserve your ammo. I don't want anyone running dry in the middle of a fucking fight." I said. Echo squad moved through the path, and Michal and Rick started to set the explosives. Soon a horde of armored dogs pored out of the caves, and I pulled the trigger. I aimed for the unarmored parts of the dogs, and fired signal shots. They fell one, by one as I fired every shot. *Sir, the explosives are set! Lets go!* I patted Victor, and Liam to fallback, and covered them. We rushed for the entrance as Michal, and Rick covered us. We were almost there, but I was tackled to the ground by one of the dogs. "Get of me you ugly fucking mutt!" I yelled and fired five shots into it's gut. I got back to my feet and bolted for the entrance, and with the dogs close behind. "Blow it!" I yelled over the radio. *What!? But-* "JUST FUCKING DO IT!" I yelled. As I made it to the entrance, the explosives went off behind me, and I was sent flying into a hard rock wall. My vision was extremely blurry, and I could hear my squad yelling. Soon four blurs were over me yelling. I slowly fell into unconsciousness, and heard a small voice. "it's not your time yet." [Twilights house.] After a few days of research, and planning Twilight was jumping up and down with excitement as she waited for her friends to arrive. "Ooooo, what's taking them so long?" Twilight said. "Twilight, are you sure this is a good idea? I mean your going into the Everfree forest to look for some city that probably doesn't even exist." Spike said. "Spike, I've always wanted to learn more about humans even if they weren't real. And now I finally have a chance to, and I get to with my friends. Which reminds me, are you sure you don't want to come with us?" Twilight asked. "Naw, I rather just run the library while your gone." Spike said. After an hour of waiting Twilights friends arrived with their saddlebags, and looked ready to go. "Hey Twi, You ready to go?" Asked Rainbow Dash. Twilight nodded, and pulled out a map. "Alright, so we're going to the castle of the two sisters, and start heading north until we find this symbol." Twilight held up a picture of a strange red claw. "Once we find this symbol we will say these words. 'Hope is the key' and it should open up an entrance to the city." "Sounds simple enough, lets get a move on." Applejack said. The girls left the house, and set off to find the lost city of Washington D.C. [Shades POV.] I awoke with a pounding headache, and opened my eyes to see nothing but rock. I mumbled to myself, and raised to my feet. "What the fuck happened?" I asked myself. I immediately checked my weapons, and gave a sigh of relief. I had my silenced TR-15 with 5 mag's, my M9 Beretta with 4 mag's, and my Recon sawback Bowie knife. I scanned my surroundings, and found a small cave. I decided to walk through the cave since there was no where else to go. I continued down the cave, and came across a wide open space that was filled with dead overgrown armored dogs. I was confused at first, but shrugged and walked through the wide open space. I noticed bullet wounds in all of the armored dogs, and found bullet casings on the ground. I followed the trail of bullets that led to a dead end. "They must have blown the entrance." I said. I sighed and looked for another way to go. I found a large cave and decided to see where it leads. I moved through the cave and began to hear something. I slowly crept through the cave, and found the source of the noise. It was more of those overgrown dogs. I crouched down, and slowly approached them while I pulled out my M9, and knife. Once I was close enough I grabbed the nearest one, and sliced her throat. Once they saw me I aimed my M9, and fired couple shots into two other dogs skulls. When the last dog tried to stab me in the back, but I turned around with my first kill still in my hands. The dog stabbed my meat shield, and I pushed the meat shield onto the dog. Once the dog pushed the corps to the side I aimed my M9, and fired a signal shot into his right eye. I stared at the corpses for a second, and turned to continue through the cave. "First ponies, and now overgrown mutts." I said shaking my head. "Just more blood to be spilled." I said and gave a wicked smile under my mask. [Canterlot palace.] Celestia sat in her throne with a uneasy feeling. She had felt something that she hasn't felt in a thousand years. It confused her a bit. As the day went by she and her sister Luna met in the gardens, and walked together. "Lulu, do you feel a strange feeling today?" Celestia asked. Luna looked to her sister confused. "What do you mean?" she asked. "I have this feeling that I haven't felt in years. I'm worried that Equestria may be in danger." Celestia said with a worried look. "I have felt the same thing for the entire day. It is a most heart sinking feeling." Luna said. As the sisters walked through the garden, Luna noticed something that made her stop dead in her tracks. Celestia looked to her sister as she stared wide eyed at something. Celestia turned to where her sister was staring at, and froze in fear. One of the statues were missing. An important statue. "He...He's gone." Celestia said. She, and her sister stood and stared at the missing statue with fear for at least three minutes. Soon Celestia lowered her head, and sighed. "I feared that one day he would escape, and now that the day has finally come..." Celestia paused for a moment, and continued. "I'm scared Lulu. I'm scared that they will return. I'm scared for our subjects." Celestia said, and faced her sister with a small tear running down her cheek. "I know what that feeling is now. It's hate. Not towards them, but towards myself. What we did was unforgiveable Lulu, and now our unholy past will endanger all of Equestria, and our subjects." Luna stared at the grown, and hugged her sister as a small tear ran down her face. "Sister, what shall we do?" Luna asked. "We pray, Lulu. We pray that they will not escape." > Battle born. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I awoke with a splitting headache, and I felt every part of my body in extreme pain. I slowly opened my eyes to see Echo squad, and my team resting around two flares. "Fuck." I moaned rubbing my head. Liam looked to me, and gave a sigh of relief. "Glad to see your still kicking sir." Liam said, and handed me a canteen. I took the canteen and took two large gulps of it. "I lived after fighting a fucking god, so some C4 wont kill me." I chuckled. I slowly rose to my feet and looked around the group, and looked back to Liam. "What's our status?" "We just set up here after our encounter with those weird dog things." He said. I handed him the canteen, and patted him on the shoulder. "Thanks." I said. I walked over to the group, and was greeted by Marcus. "Well, looks like sleeping beauty is finally awake. 'Bout damn time." Marcus chuckled. "Yeah well screw you to. Have we made any progress on finding other squads?" "We picked up a very weak transmission from Delta squad. The only thing we got was that they were at the ruins of D.C." He said. I sighed and rubbed the back of my head. "So I guess we lost D.C. huh?" "Yep..." "Great, well we should try and find Delta squad." I said. Soon a soldier from Echo squad came over. "Sir, we finally reached Delta squad on the radio." "Good, lets go get some info." Marcus said. We walked over to the radio, and took a knee next to it. "This is Captain Jacob of Viper squad, and Captain Marcus of Echo squad, do you read?" I said. There was no reply, but soon he spoke up. *Roger that we hear ya. This is Captain Kritz of Delta squad; we are now stationed at what's left of D.C. Also, we have encountered some kind of armored dogs with weapons. We took out a shit ton of them, but we still got hit hard. I have two men injured, and if we don't get any help soon, they may not make it. Requesting reinforcements, how copy?* "Good copy Delta, We'll try and find our way to ya as fast as we can. We'll try and stay in contact with you. Viper, and Echo squad out." I said and ended the transmission. Me and Marcus got up, and rallied the troops. "Alright ladies listen up! We finally made contact with Delta squad and they say that they have a few wounded. They also said that they are in what's left of D.C." Everyone looked at me with a little bit of shock. "Yes, D.C. has fallen. But we survived, and we should carry on. Now, we will make our way to Delta squad, and assist them in any way. Any questions..." "Yeah, how are we gonna find them in this place?" Liam asked. "We'll try every fucking tunnel there is until we find the right one." I said. I looked to Marcus. "Any thing you wanna say before we get a move on?" I asked. He shook his head. I nodded and picked up my Scar-H. "Then lets get a move on marines!" Everyone gathered their gear, and we tried a near by tunnel. [Shades pov] I walked through these god forsaken tunnels for about a hour now, and found nothing but a bunch more of those dog things. After the second or third time I came across them I started to get bored, so I saved my ammo, and killed them with my knife. Anyways, as I was walking through the a tunnel, I noticed something on the wall. I stopped and ran my hand across the wall. It was ice. Soon I heard some strange noises coming down the tunnel. I decided to continue through the tunnel, and find out what was making the noise. I continued down the tunnel and noticed that the tunnel was getting extremely cold, and that the walls were covered in frost. Soon I entered a large area that was covered in frost and ice, and saw a strange figure. The figure began to move, and soon it rose to a height of six feet. I pulled out my TR-15 carbine and aimed it at the creature, but before I could bull the trigger, the figure turned around and to revile a human face. He was a pale Hispanic with light brown hair. He also had a pair of massive gantlets, with claws attached to his wrists. He wore snow camo pants, a white tee, a wolf claw neclas, and a white benie. He had two sawed off shotguns on his thighs. I lowered my gun and gave a confused look under my gasmask. "Who are you." I asked. He smiled showing his wolf like teeth. "Who am I? Who the fuck are you?" He said. He soon started to sniff the air, and looked at me. "Your a... human?" He asked. "Yeah, what else would I be?" His smile grew larger. "Well it's about damn time! Man, you guys took forever to wake up." He said and approached me. "Names Jack, or Jack Frost." He said, and bowed. "Jack frost?" "Yep, I am a battle born, one of the ten. I and the other battle born have awaited humanities return. I-" He was interrupted by a loud howl. Soon several of those armored dogs rushed out of the caves, and surrounded us. I aimed my TR-15 at the nearest dog, but Jack put his hand in front of my gun. "Don't waste your ammo human. Let me handle them." he said. "Now, who's first?" He said. Soon, a two of the armored dogs launched at him from the right, and two more launched at him from the left. He snapped his fingers, and all four of the dogs were frozen solid. One of the frozen dogs landed by Jacks feet, and he stomped on the dog, making it break into pieces. Jack looked at the dogs, and gave a wicked smile, and pointed at the biggest one. Soon that dog gave a mighty roar, and charged towards him, but before he had the chance to hit jack, Jack was surrounded by a snow storm. Once the snow disappeared, I stared in shock. Jack was now a 7ft tall white werewolf. Jack grabbed the dog by the neck, and ripped out his throat, and threw him across the room. The dog spat out blood, and shook violently until he finally ceased, and fell limp. The rest of the dogs dropped their weapons, and bowed down to Jack. Jack soon was surrounded by the snow storm, and became his original form. He looked back at me, shrugged, and smiled. "What the fuck? What are you?" I asked. "Like I said, I'm one of the battle born. Your kind made me, and the others." He said. Soon the armored dogs began to chant something. "Top dog, top dog, top dog," They all chanted. I walked over to Jack. "What are they doing?" "I killed their top dog. So, I'm now the top dog." [Jacob] We have been walking through the caves for a half hour, and came across a trail of several dead armored dogs. We followed the trial of bodies, and reached a opening. We walked through the opening, and stopped dead in our tracks. I stared in shock at the ruins of D.C, and looked at my team. "Well boys, welcome home." I said. I pulled out a flare, and lit it. I raised it over my head, and waved. Soon there was another red flare coming from the White house, and I smiled. I dropped the flare, and looked at Marcus. "Lets get a move on then." > Regrouping. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Twilight and friends] "How much further?" Rainbow Dash moaned. "This is getting really boring." "We're almost there Rainbow Dash." Twilight said, and looked at her map. "It should be over that large hill." She said. Twilight and her friends have been walking through the Everfree forest for about two, or three hours, and have found nothing. Some of the girls are starting to regret coming along, and want to turn back. But they see how excited Twilight is, and decided to stay with her until she finds out the truth that humans are only a fairy tail. Luckily the main six had no problems with the wild life of the Everfree forest, but they did have a hard time getting pass the swamps. Twilight led her friends up the hill, and scanned the area below them. "Uh, Twi, I don't see a thing." Applejack said, and looked around. "Only the side of a darn mountain." Twilight's smile soon disappeared, and was replaced with worry. "M-maybe it's in the mountain." She said, and looked back to her friends. "Lets just go make sure." She said with a sheepish smile. Her friends stared at her for a moment. "Pleeeease." It took some time, but soon they all moaned, and followed Twilight down the hill. They reached the side of the mountain, and began to look for the red claw Twilight said was a sign of humans. They looked high and low, but found nothing. That is until Pinkie found something. "Hey, look at what I found!" Pinkie pie yelled with joy, and jumped up, and down. Everyone ran to Pinkie pie, and gasped. Everyone stared in shock, except Pinkie pie who was jumping around, at a red claw on the bottom of a rock. Soon Twilight put the image in her book next to the rock, and smiled. "This is it!" She shouted, and started to jump around with Pinkie pie. Soon both Twilight, and Pinkie began to chant, "We found it, we found it!" The rest of the group was shocked at their discovery, and looked at each other. Soon Rarity spoke. "This cant be right, there must be a reason for this." She said. "But what else in Equestria can make that print?" Fluttershy said. "I've never seen anything like it." "Well, what do we do?" Rainbow Dash asked. Soon Twilight finished her celebration, and returned. "We open the doors to the human city." Twilight said, and pulled out her book. "Ready everypony?" She asked. They all nodded, and Twilight began. "Hope is the key." She said. Soon the symbol began to glow red, and a voice could be heard. "Hope is the lock." The voice then disappeared, and the earth below Twilight, and her friends began to split apart. They quickly backed away, and watched the ground come apart. Soon the ground stopped, and revealed a large metal door. Twilight looked to her friends, and smiled. "Shall we?" She asked. They all sighed, and followed Twilight towards the door, and into the city of D.C. [Jacobs pov] We all walked through the old streets covered with both human, and pony skeletons, and I could feel the anger build up inside of me. I could even see the same anger in the rest of the marines faces, and sighed. "Man, hard to think this place was once our home." I said. "Yeah I hear ya." Marcus said in a low voice. His face showed zero emotion as we walked, but I could see something in his eyes, something I saw in everyone of the Marines faces. Rage. Rage that has been growing, and growing inside of us all for a long time, and is at the verge of exploding. I was about to say something else, but I was cut of by several gunshots, and shortly a loud voice boomed over the radio. *This is Kritz, we have contact! Another horde of those dogs showed up out of no where! We need back -SHIT ON YOUR LEFT!* Several gunshots came from the radio, and both a howl and a scream could be heard. "Shit!" I growled, and spun around to the rest of the marines. "Lets move people!" I yelled, and sprinted towards the White house with all my speed. Soon my squad caught up with me, and we reached the action. I looked back to Marcus, and his squad. "Marcus, we'll move onto their rear, you get to Delta team and help them out!" I shouted. Marcus nodded, barked his orders to his squad, and they sprinted to help Delta squad. Me and my men quickly moved to our position, and ran into several of the armored dogs. They quickly spotted us, and fired arrows from their crossbows, and threw spears and ax's at us. We quickly dived into cover, and lit them up. Several of them howled, and fell dead, and the remaining fleabags quickly fled. I put in a fresh mag, and vaulted over my cover."We're not done yet boys, lets keep moving." I said, and continued on. We soon reached a wide opening, and dashed for the White houses entrance. Several dead dogs laid on the ground with a puddle of blood surrounding them. We quickly went up the stairs, but when we reached the front door a marine crashed through the door. I was about to rush to his aid, but in a split second a large armored dog that was twice the size of the other dogs jumped on top of the marine, and sunk it's large metal like teeth into the marine. The marine let out a scream of pure pain as the dog violently shook him in it's teeth. I raised my Scar-H, and fired several shots into the monster. My squad did the same, and lit up the large dog. A lot of the bullets were deflected by the dogs thick armor, but most of them struck the dogs flesh. The monster let go, and roared at us with rage, but didn't attack us. Instead it bit down on the marines leg, and flung him towards us. The marine crashed into me, and we both tumbled down the stairs. Once we stopped, I pushed the motionless marine off of me, and checked for a pulse. Nothing. I cussed under my breathe, took his dog tags, and bolted back up the stairs. But before I could get back up the stairs the monster leaped over me, and down the stairs. I spun around, and fired only three shots from my Scar-H. They were deflected, and the armored monster quickly ran off. "Fuck!" I screamed, and put in a fresh magazine. I was about to run after it, but I felt some one grab my shoulder. I looked back, and saw Liam. "Sir, we don't have time for him, we need to help the others." He said with a emotionless expression. I looked back to the fleeing monster, and sighed. I nodded. "Your right, you right. Lets keep moving." I said, and regrouped at the front door. We quickly check our ammo, and went through the door to see several dead dogs laying along the floor, and stairs. We slowly walked through the room of dead dogs, and kept our sights high, and low. We stopped in the middle of the room, and I listened. No gunfire, and no screaming. I slowly grabbed my radio, and spoke. "This Viper squad requesting a report. How copy?" I asked, and waited for a response. Soon I got one. *This is Delta squad, we're set up in the presidents office with one dead, and one injured.* *This Echo squad, we just took care of the last bunch of these fuckers. I think we're clear.* "Roger that, lets meet up a Delta squads position." I said. *Roger that.* I sighed, and motioned my squad to follow me. We slowly walked up the stairs, and walked towards the presidents office. Once we reached the office Echo squad, and Delta squad were waiting for us. Marcus's men were positioned near the windows watching out for anymore dogs, and Kritz squad were scattered across the room. They were beat up, and covered in blood, and dirt. Marcus, and Kritz were both talking, and soon they both spotted me. I walked up to Kritz, and stuck out my hand. "Good to see your still alive Captain." I said. Kritz only nodded, and leaned against the wall. It was quite for a few minutes, but soon Kritz spoke. "Did you see one of my marines down there?" He asked. I nodded, and took out the marines dog tags. I tossed them to him, and he snatched them out of the air. He stared at the tags for a moment, and sighed. "Shit!" He growled, and clenched the tags in his fist. I decided to leave him alone for a bit, and walked away. But I stopped, and looked at Marcus. We need to set up, and protect this place until we come up with a plan. Me and my men will work on the first floor, and you, and your men will work up here. Fair?" I asked. He nodded. I gave a nod back, and led my squad down below to begin working. [Shades pov] "Top dog, top dog, top dog." The dogs chanted as they followed me, and Frost through the cave. "Can you please shut these guys up?" I mumbled. He sighed, and looked back. "SHUT UP!" He yelled. The dogs coward, and closed their mouth. "Thank you." I said, and groaned. "How much further till we meet up with more humans?" I asked. He snuffed the air, and smiled. "Not that far now, just a bit longer." He said, and looked at me. "So, what were you doing before you got frozen. "What do you think. I was fighting for my kind." I said, and glared at him under my mask. "And don't ask me about the past, I hate it." I said. He only shrugged, and looked forward. "Whatever." He said. We continued to walk for sometime, and finally came across something that made me stop dead in my tracks. It was Washington D.C in ruins. I stared at the ruins for a little while, and finally snapped out of it. "Shit." I mumbled. "Well, glade to be home." I said. Jack chuckled. "This was your home? What a shit hole." He chuckled. "Shut up." I said. He chuckle some more, but stopped. He started to sniff the air. "What is it?" I asked. "Blood." He said, and pointed towards the White house. "More of those dogs?" I asked. "Yep, but hold on." He said, and grabbed my arm. Before I could react he bit my hand. I jumped, and gave a hard blow to his jaw. I pulled back, and he rubbed his jaw with a small smile. "Ow." He said. "What was that for?" I shouted as I glared from under my mask. "I needed your blood." He said, and sniffed my hand. "Yep." "Yep?" I asked. "Yep, that's human blood, and dog blood." He said. "Coming from that large structure." "Shit, then that means the others could be there." I said. "Come on lets get going." I said, and started to pick up the speed towards the White house. Jack and his new followers kept up with me as we entered the city. But as we entered the city, the sound of gunfire echoed through the air. > Where am I? Who am I? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight, and her friends slowly walked through a hallway made entirely of metal, and filled with ruble. A fowl smell filled the air, and the main six were both confused, and disgusted by it's stench. Rarity, Fluttershy, and Twilight tried their best to block the smell, while Pinkie pie, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack simply adapted to it as they went deeper, and deeper into the hallway. Soon Rarity spoke. "Dear Celestia, this foul smell will be the death of me!" Rarity complained, and gagged. "Hey Twi, where are we going?" Rainbow Dash asked. "We're suppose to be in the lost city by now, but it's not here." Twilight said, and looked at her map. She sighed, and looked back to her friends. "Well, at least we're on the trail." She said. Rainbow Dash huffed, and rolled her eyes. "Twilight dear, what do you plan on doing once we find this city?" Rarity asked. "Well, I plan to study the humans history, and learn what they were like." Twilight said. "Hopefully I can get a better understanding of what they were like, and what kind of culture they had. These books give a lot of detail, and information about humans, but I want to find more information from actual human books." Twilight said, and jumped with energy. "Oh I cant wait! Who knows what we can learn!" She said, and gave a small giggle. "But Twi, didn't your parents tell ya about humans, ya know, to keep ya in line?" Applejack asked. Twilight thought for a moment, and spoke. "I think they did, but I was real young so I don't really remember what the stories were. Why?" Twilight asked. "Well when I was a filly, my pa told me about humans, and said that they were a race of monsters that would come in the night, and eat bad little fillies like me. Though that part may have been meant to keep me out of trouble, he did tell me that they were monsters." Applejack said. "Oh yeah, my dad told me about humans when I was a filly too. He always said that they were awesome creatures, but they were still real messed up in the head." Rainbow Dash said. "Are there any good stories about humans?" Fluttershy asked. Both Applejack, and Rainbow Dash thought for a moment, and shook their heads. "Nope." Applejack said. "Never heard of a good story." Rainbow Dash said. "But still, everypony knows they are monsters." Applejack said. "How do you know?" Fluttershy asked. "Because the stories say they are." Rainbow Dash said. "Have you ever met a human?" Fluttershy asked. "Well of course not, bu-" "Then we cant say they are monsters if we never met one." Fluttershy said. Rainbow Dash was a bit confused, but she just shrugged. "Fine." Rainbow Dash said. The group was then silent for a few moments until they came across something on the ground. It was a small black box with a small button, and a knob. Twilight picked up the strange object, and inspected it, but soon static escaped the box, and shortly a voice followed. *This is Sergeant Carlos Ramirez of Charlie three, is anyone out there? We have no idea where we are, and have just encountered strange hostile creatures that look like armored dogs.* Twilight, and the group only stared at the black box with shock, and confusion, but soon Twilight spoke. "Um, hello strange box, creature, I am-" She was cut off by a bone chilling howl, and several loud pops, and cracks. *Shit more of those fucking dogs are here! Form up, and open fire! This is Charlie three, we need help here. Someone just talk to me, we're surrounded, and we're in the dark here! Someone just fucking talk damn it!* All that could be heard now were several more loud cracks, shouting, and howls. Twilight was so confused, shocked, and a little bit scared now. She had no idea what was happening, and just looked to her friends to see that they had the same look. Confusion, shock, and fear. Soon another voice could be heard, but this one was hard to understand. *This- Jacob of- squad- move through the- until you reach- and we'll meet- and pull back.* *Say again, your breaking up!* *Move- tunnels until you- D.C and- pull back.* Soon the new voice turned into static, and all that could be heard were the loud sounds from the other voice. *Fuck! AHHHHHHHHH!* Soon everything went silent, and the tunnels were dead quite. The girls only stared that the box, and began to grow nervous. Soon Fluttershy spoke. "Twilight, maybe we should leave." She said. "What!? Why would we leave?!" Rainbow Dash said. "Rainbow Dash is right, we need to keep moving, and find out what this thing is, and what we just listen to." Twilight said. "But Twilight, that sounded really scary." Fluttershy said. Rainbow Dash put her hoof on Fluttershy's shoulder, and chuckled. "Don't worry Fluttershy, as long as we're together, we'll be fine." Rainbow Dash said. Fluttershy was quite for a few seconds, but soon she smiled, and nodded. "Okay." She said. Twilight put the strange black box into her bags, and the group continued through tunnels. As time pasted, strange sounds echoed though the tunnels. Loud pops, horrific screams, and a few explosions that shook the tunnels. Every step the girls made, the more they would want to turn around, and run back towards the surface, but their curiosity was to strong for them to turn back now. Soon the girls entered a new tunnel, and froze at a nightmarish sight. In front of the main six was a pile of dead, bloody diamond dogs. The girls stared in horror, and soon the awful smell of death hit them like a train. The girls gagged, and they couldn't help but release their lunches onto the ground. Once they regained themselves, Rarity spoke. "Dear Celestia, what happened to them?" She asked. Twilight was about to say something, but another voice cut her off. "Check your ammo boys, and get ready to move." A deep voice said. The girls quickly dived into cover, and held their breath. "Sir, do you want me to help with your arm? That thing really got a good chunk of ya." Another voice said. "No, we don't have time for that. We have to move before more get here." The deep voice said. "Eric, you good?" "Ugh, yeah, the prick just got a lucky shot is all. I'm good to move." A voice said. Twilight then peeked out from her cover, and saw six strange bipedal creatures walking towards the pile of bodies. They wore strange looking cloths with a lot of metal objects hanging from them, and carried strange looking devises. Some of them had mask covering their faces, but some had no mask, so Twilight had a good look at their faces. Their faces were different colors of skin, and some of them had small patches of hair on their faces, and heads. Blood covered their cloths, and a few cuts, and scratches were on their dirt covered arms. Soon one of the creatures spoke, and Twilight pulled her back into cover. "Where should we start?" Asked the creature. "Not sure, but we better move now, I don't think we can take another wave of those things." Another creature said. Soon multiple footsteps could be heard, and they soon grew quieter until they were gone. The girls slowly walked out from their hiding places, and looked at each other with fear, and confusion. "W-what were those things?" Asked Fluttershy. Everyone was silent for a moment, but soon Twilight spoke. "I think they were, humans." Twilight said, and pulled out a drawing of a human. "I got a good look at a few of them, and they kinda look like this, they just have these strange clothing, and armor I've never seen before." "Who cares, you saw what those things did to those dogs, they're insane!" Rainbow Dash said. "We have to go back, now!" "But we can follow-" Twilight was quickly cut off by Rarity. "Follow them? Darling, have completely lost your mind?" Rarity asked. Fluttershy walked over, and put her hoof over Twilight's head. "Hmmm, she seems fine." Fluttershy said. Twilight pulled away. "Fluttershy, I'm fine, thank you. But we need to follow them to the city." Twilight said. "We don't need to do anything, but get the hay out of here! Those things will kill us in a second!" Applejack said. "Please Twilight, lets just go back home, please." Fluttershy said. Twilight was about to say something, but she looked at her friends, and sighed. "Fine, lets go home, and tell the princess what we found. Maybe she can take care of this." Twilight said. Her friends sighed with relief, and they all began their walk back towards the surface. [Jill's pov] I slowly opened my eyes, and felt the intense pain from my head. I groaned, and slowly lifted myself up to my feet. I stumbled a bit, and caught myself by leaning onto the walls of rock. I closed my eyes, and took a deep breath. "W-where am I?" I mumbled, and opened my eyes. "Who am I?" I asked myself, and cringed at the sudden surge of pain that shot through my brain. I groaned, and fell to my knees holding my head. So many voices raced through my mind, and a sudden image of a burning city filled my vision. Soon the image disappeared, and gasped. I felt sweat run down my face as I took several rapid breath, and rose to my feet with shaking legs. I looked around at my surroundings, and saw a M16 with a flashlight attached to it on the ground next to a large bag. I looked down at my uniform, and saw torn clothing, and scarred body armor. I then noticed dogs tag around my neck, and lifted it up to my eyes. 'Sargent Jill Harris'. I then looked to my shoulder, and saw the flag of the united states, and the symbol of the USMC. 'I must be a soldier.' I thought to myself, and walked over to the M16. I picked up the M16, and swung the large bag onto my back. It felt right holding this gun, but I couldn't remember what happened, or where I was. I turned on the flash light from the M16, and instantly saw a large tunnel. I looked around for any other entrance, but found only walls of rock, and dirt. I shrugged, and walked into the tunnel. After a few minutes of walking in silence, I began to hear howling from behind me. I spun around, and aimed down my sights. I saw nothing, but the howling grew louder, and louder by the second, and soon I began to feel the ground under my feet shake. I began to get worried, and started to quickly walk backwards away from the growing sounds. Soon once a large roar filled the tunnel, I just spun around, and sprinted away. After I started to run away, several howls, and barks could be heard, and an arrow shot passed my head. I looked over my shoulder, and my eyes went wide with shock from the sight of a horde of armored dogs charging after me. "What the fuck!?" I shouted, and started to pick up the past. I looked down to my belt, and saw three grenades clanking together. I pulled of my belt, and pulled the pin to one of the grenades. I then threw them back, and increased my speed. Soon the tunnel shook when a large explosion erupted, and the barking, and howling of the dogs stopped. I sighed with relief, but before I could slow down a loud rumbling noise filled the tunnel. I looked over my shoulder, and screamed at the sight of the tunnel collapsing behind me. "What the fuck!" I screamed. I looked forward, and instantly a smiled crashed onto my face when I saw a bright light at the end of the tunnel. I put the rest of my energy into my legs, and sprinted towards the light, but before I could reach the exit a large bolder collapsed only inches from me. I quickly tried to squeeze past the side of the boulder, but my bag was to big to fit, so I quickly slipped out of the bag, and got past the boulder. I then sprinted towards freedom with the strength I had left. I could feel my legs aching, and I felt my chest burning as I jumped over fallen rocks, and dodged collapsing walls of earth. I felt the sweat drench me, and my cloths, and it was as if no air was left in my lungs, only dust. Luckily I was only a few feet from the exit, and gave a large smile of joy. Soon I reached the exit, and tripped by running up the exit. As I crawled my way to the surface, I slowly rose to my feet, and I was about to take a deep breath of fresh, clean air, but before I could something slam into my back, and fell to the ground hard. Before I could recover, I was flipped over onto my back, and came face to face with another one of those dog things. I started to panic, and gave a hard blow to it's jaw. The dog growled, pinned my arms to the ground, and howled. Soon several more dogs crawled out of the ground, and surrounded me. I started to kick, but more dogs held my legs down. I looked up with fear, and saw evil, hungry smiles on each of the dogs faces. Soon the dog on top of me spoke. "So, little hairless monkey think he can invade our home, and escape. Very stupid." He said, and showed his sharp ugly teeth. The other dogs chuckled, and began to close in. I began to shake, and felt a tear escape my eye. I don't want to die not knowing anything about my life. I don't want to die period! The dog on top soon leaned in close, and chuckled. "Any thing you wanna say before we have dinner?" I gulped, and spoke. "P-please don't kill me." I pleaded. Instantly the dogs face was replaced with confusion. "Why does your voice sound like that?" He asked. "Yeah, you bastards always sound tough with deep voices." A dog said. The dog on top of me then started to sniff me, and soon he started to laugh. "It's female!" He shouted. Soon the other dogs began to laugh, and soon their looks of hunger turned into something else. Something I didn't like. The dog then looked back to me with a grin. "You know our master keeps all the females for himself, so we have no females to mate with. So we're not picky." My heart started to pump faster, and faster as the dogs all around me began to close in again. "So I wonder what it would be like to mate with your kind. Care to find out?" My eyes were now filled with tears as I began to struggle more, and shook my head. "NO! NO! GET OFF YOU UGLY MOTHERFUCKER!" I screamed. The dogs began to laugh as they grabbed my arms, and legs, and stretched them out. They started to rip large sections of my cloths off, leaving several scratches, and even a few cuts. I struggled, and screamed for help, but no one was coming. I was doomed. I closed my eyes, and waited for the worse. That is until a new voice filled the air. "LEAVE HER ALONE!" [A few minutes earlier] Twilight and her friends quickly made their way towards the exit of the tunnel without any problems. That is until a loud explosion shook the tunnels. "What in equestria was that!?" Rainbow Dash said. "I don't know, but can we just get the hay out of here!" Applejack said. The girls agreed, and they all began to run towards the exit. Shortly they found the exit, and quickly ran out into the bright suns light. The girls sighed with relief, and looked at each other with smiles of joy. "Thank Celestia we made it out." Fluttershy said. "Yeah, but I still don't like it here, so can we just get back to Ponyville so you can send a letter to the princess." Applejack said. Everyone agreed, and began to walk towards the large hill, but Twilight stood at the entrance of the tunnel, and sighed. She had so many questions, but she didn't want to risk her, or her friends lives for the answers. She took out the strange black box, and stared at it for a few seconds. 'What is going on? Why are the humans fighting the Diamond Dogs?' She thought to herself. She sighed once more, and turned towards the hill, and began to walk up the hill. At least she knew the answer to one of her questions. Are the humans dangerous? Yes. Soon Twilight was at the top of the hill, but she was taken out of her thoughts when she heard something behind her. She turned around, and she felt her heart skip a beat. A dirt covered human with a short black main, and holding the same strange object that the other humans had, was crawling out of the entrance, panting, and covered in sweat. The human slowly rose to it's full height, and it was about to do something, but before it could do anything a lone Diamond Dog shot out of the entrance, and tackled the human to the ground. The humans strange object was knocked to the ground as the human slammed onto the ground. Twilight lowered herself onto her stomach, and watched the scene before her with interest, and a bit of fear. The human struggled under the dog, but Twilight was pulled away from the scene by a voice. "Twilight, what are you doing?" She turned her head around to see the rest of the girls looking at me with confusion. She hushed them, and motioned them over. They listened, and joined Twilight's side on their stomach's. Their eyes widened with shock, and looked back to the fighting human, and Diamond Dog. As Twilight returned to the scene she saw that the human was now on it's back with the Diamond dog pinning it's arms down to the ground. Twilight quickly pulled out her notebook, and began to write notes. Soon the dog howled, and shortly several other dogs crawled out of holes around the two. As the dogs began to surround them, the human began to fight even more, but soon the dogs had it fully pinned. Now all the human could do was stare at it's attackers. Soon the Diamond dog on top of the human began to spoke, but he was to far for us to hear him. Whatever the dog said it made the others chuckle, and give the human a evil smile. The dogs then started to slowly close in around the human, and the human was clearly shaking. The dog said something else, and the human soon replied. This seemed to confuse the Diamond dogs as they stopped closing in, and stared at the human. The dog on top of the human started to sniff the human, and soon he burst out into laughter. "It's female!" He shouted. The other dogs also began to laugh, and their faces turned back into evil grins, but these grins were different. The sent chills down Twilight's spine. "Twilight." Whispered Fluttershy. Twilight looked over to Fluttershy. "We have to do something." Fluttershy whispered. "Are you nuts!" Rainbow Dash hissed. "But we can't just watch this human be killed." Fluttershy said. "The human may deserve it. Didn't you see what those other humans did in the tunnels?" Rainbow Dash reminded her. "But we don't know why they fought each other. Maybe it was in self defense." Fluttershy said. Twilight was about to say something, but she, and the others were pulled away from the conversation by a voice. The human. "NO! NO! GET OFF YOU UGLY MOTHERFUCKER!" The human screamed. The dogs only laughed as they began to stretch the humans limbs out, and started to tear her cloths off with their sharp claws. The human began to struggle, and scream for help. Her screams for help echoed through out the air, and Twilight didn't know what to do. She was frozen. Fluttershy on the other hand jumped up, and shot out her wings. "LEAVE HER ALONE! Fluttershy's voice boomed with such power that it shocked all of her friends, and stopped the Diamond dogs. Fluttershy spoke again. "YOU LEAVE HER ALONE, AND GO BACK TO YOUR TUNNELS!" Fluttershy yelled. The dogs looked at each other, and started to laugh. Soon a dog spoke. "Your just a little pony!" A dog laughed. "Oooo, and she's a female too." Another smaller dog chuckled. "It must be our lucky day!" Another dog shouted. "I WON'T SAY IT AGAIN!" Fluttershy shouted. "And what are you going to do if we don't listen?" A large dog asked. Fluttershy wasn't sure of what she was going to do, she only glared at the dogs. But soon Rainbow Dash got up, and stood next to her friend. "Then I'll bet the crap out of you!" She shouted. Fluttershy looked to Rainbow Dash, and smiled. Rainbow Dash nodded, and turned back to the dogs. Soon the other joined their friends, and glared at the dogs, and readied themselves for a fight. The dogs chuckled, and began to march towards the ponies, but they quickly stopped once they saw Twilight. Their evil, hungry smiles disappeared, and were replaced with ones of shock, and a little bit of fear. "A-an Alicorn." A dog said. Twilight took this chance, and began to form a large ball of energy with her horn. "That's right, and if you don't let the human go, and return to your tunnels, I will turn you into stone!" She shouted. The dogs began to tremble at the sight of the large ball of power, and let the human go. They began to slowly back away towards their holes, but one dog glared at Twilight. "This isn't over Princess, this human will be ours!" He snarled, and crawled back into his hole. Soon the other dogs began to disappear into their holes, and soon only the human, and the six ponies were left. Twilight canceled her spell, and sighed. Fluttershy ran towards the human who looked at the ponies with shock. "Fluttershy, be careful!" Applejack shouted. Fluttershy ignored her friend, and knelt down next to the human. She gave the human a warm smile, and pulled out a canteen of water. She offered the human a drink, and the human gladly accepted her offer, and began to chug the water down. Fluttershy kept her smile, and watch as the shaking human drank the water. Soon the others reach Fluttershy, and the human. "Do you have a name?" Fluttershy asked. The human stopped drinking, and looked to Fluttershy with tired blue eyes. Her eyes were red from the tears, and she formed a small smile. "Jill. M-my names Jill." The human spoke in a soft, but rather torn voice. Must have been from the screaming. "That's a nice name." Fluttershy complemented. "Mine is Fluttershy." She looked to her friends who were now just staring at the two with interest. "Girls." Soon Rainbow Dash spoke. "I'm Rainbow Dash." She said. "I'm Applejack, glade your okay." Applejack said with a smile. "I'm Rarity, it's a pleasure to meet you." Rarity said. "I'm Pinkie Pie! Nice to meet you! Do you like parties! I sure do! Do you-" Pinkie was cut off my Applejack who covered her mouth with her hoof. "Not now Pinkie." Applejack said. The others chuckled a bit, and soon Twilight cleared her throat. "I'm Twilight." She said. Jill looked at the girls with a blank look, but soon she smiled. "Thank you all for saving me." Jill said weakly. Soon she closed her eyes, and fell to the ground unconscious. Fluttershy lifted Jill's head up off of the ground, and sighed. "She's okay, she just tired." She said. "Good, now can we just get out of here?" Rainbow Dash said. FLuttershy nodded. "Can you help me with her?" She asked. Applejack, and Rainbow Dash helped Fluttershy carry Jill up the hill, and the girls began to head back home. [???] A dark figure sat over a glowing ball, and gave a dark chuckle. "Oooo, now this is interesting." The figure said in a low dark voice. "Maybe it's time to let the others go, and get the real party started." And with that the figure disappeared.
