The Inevitable

First published

It all began when they crashed into our world...

Ben Clarke and Gina Langford crash-land into Equestria, and Ben is presumed dead, or is he? A certain secret has been keeping a private curtain between him and the world around him, and unfortunatly, the past he and Gina have thought to have escaped forever returns... in the most unexpected way... (Ben Clarke and Gina Langford are diffrent versions of Isaac Clarke and Ellie Langford from the actual game, thanks to the first 3 commenters for showing this mix up)

First fanfic, a crossover of Dead Space and MLP. So don't be to harsh on me and when i mean "other" in the characters i mean MORE CHARACTERS TO USE THAN THE 5 LIMIT I WAS GIVIN! (Btw this is on the after events of ds2 and this is most likely gonna be finished when DS3 is already out so a sequel could be in motion)

Their Arrival

"WARNING: Main Engine Faliure, please fix" The mechanical voice crackled through as Ben Clarke and Gina Langford steered the ship with little effect, "Ben it's no use! The steering is not working!" Gina yelled. The ship was plunging headfirst into an unknown planet, leaving the two very confused. "Well maybe we can try to get the auto-pilot in motion!" Ben yelled as the flames of entry were already showing faintly. "WARNING: Main Engine Faliure is now unable to be fixed, please hold on tight because SOMEONE forgot to put in escape pods!" The AI spoke again, oblivious to the chaos lying ahead. "Stupid AI." Ben muttered as he fumbled around with the steering wheel while Gina was freaking out.

"Hey Applejack get me another mug of cider please!" Twilight cheeriely said, it was a sunny day in Sweet Apple Acres, and the Mane 6 were having another get-together for the first time in a month, "Shoot Twi, Ah seem to run outta cider, hows about them grape juice?" Applejack asked, downing the last of the freshley made cider in her mug. "That's fine Applejack! One grape juice then!" "I say Twilight I never have had grape juice before because it would SIMPLY ruin my fine silk saddle! But since i don't have one today i might as well try!" Rarity said fluffing her mane. Twilight simply shook off the comment and peered into her telescope mounted not far from the table the 6 ponies were seated in, "Hey Twi why do you have to look into that telescope if its daytime? its 20% less exciting than bieng in the Wonder Bolts!" Rainbow Dash jeered as she downed cider into her throat. Suddenly a cheeriful voice screeched, "My Pinkie Sense is tingling!" All eyes were turned towards Pinkie Pie, immediatly followed by a question from Fluttershy, "Was it a combo? I mean... if it's ok to ask..." "YES IT WAAAS A COMBO A SUPER-DOOPER-CUPCAKE-CANNON-LOADER COMBO! ONE THAT ONLY HAPPENED ONCE RIGHT BEFORE THE CHANGLING ATTACK! IT WAS A DOUBLE EAR FLOP PINCHY KNEE SCRUNCHY TAIL AND TWITCHY EYELID! IT MEANS THAT ANOTHER SPECIES IS HEADED OUR WAY!" The group gasped in amazement, "Pinkie Darling, we have seen your... dramatic predictions come true but this can't be true at all!" Rarity said as she flung onto her Dramatic Emergatron Couch 9000, "Im afraid Pinkie's right this time girls... come look." Twilight adjusted her telescope so the whole group could see, a fireball was heading the direction towards Sweet Apple Acres, and in the fireball something that looked like a metallic microphone with wierd bar-like things on it, the group was astounded, all had faces writtin of fright and worry, "Ah hope they ain't hostile, 'cause i would hate to use my Buck-of-death on them." Applejack muttered.

"Dear God, Ben this isn't going to work, we're gonna die!" Gina hissed, the windshield was severly covered by re-entry flames, and Ben was slightly wondering if damnation was waiting for them, and wondered how severe it would be. Suddenly a ripping noise echoed its way through the cockpit and the ship was tearing in two! "GINA!" Ben yelled as he reached for her hand, but it was too late. The ship tore in half, taking the half Gina was in into some sort of farm. All that Ben could hear now was the scream from Gina as she got thrown into the atmosphere. Ben quickly checked where he was going, it looked like a cove with... "Oh god... I am so not going to survive..." Ben muttered. He then switched on the Emergancy Impact Sequence, and gritted his teeth, the last words he said were, "Come at me death, I dare you."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The 6 ducked out of the way as one half of the ship crashed it's way toward them, luckily the ship stopped itself before anypony got hurt. The group quickly galloped toward the open part of the half and peeked inside, astounded by what they saw... There was a small... creature that had a skinny body and had no resemblence to a pony whatsoever. But before they could ask the creature any questions, it ran out of the half on 2 legs... impossible for any normal pony to accomplish.... and yelled "FOLLOW THAT HALF OF THE SHIP!" The 6 quickly understood and galloped toward the other half of the ship, when they arrived, there was a tour guide giving information to a small class of fillies. "Hold yer horses pardners! There's a half of some ship comin' down here at Spike Bay!" Applejack yelled, and instantly the entire group looked at the direction of the ship, also astounded by what they saw. Spike Bay was a beach with a cove, but what gave the place its name was the stalagmites that poked out of the beach floor, leading all the way into the cove. What happened next however, would most likely change the name to "Ship's Demised Harbor". The half of the ship rolled to the side and went straight into the stalagmites. The most awful screeching sound came as the spikes tore the ship apart, then an explosion rocked the ship, then another! The ship then screeched into the cove and gave one last final blast before all was quiet.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gina had tears in her eyes now, all she could put out of her mouth was "Oh god... Ben..."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The 6 ponies tried to comfort the creature by sitting her down at a nearby bench. "So what's your name?" Twilight asked. "G-Gina," The creature replied. "What kind of species are you?" Rarity asked. "H-Human..." Twilight let out a small sigh. "How about we take you to Princess Celestia? She will know what to do!" Fluttershy said. "O-Ok but first where am I?" Gina asked, "Why your in Equestria!" Rainbow Dash replied, and then they escorted the human into Twilight's home.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, when everypony was gone... a small grunt poked out of the wreckage, the human peeked behind the cove wall and looked around, "Hmph, Equestria..." The human said as he let out a small chuckle, "It's been a while since I last lived here."

Learning from the Newcomers

Gina took a sip of her greenflower tea and took a deep breath, before her was a pony with both horn and wings that they called "Princess Celestia", the white coloured pony was taller than the others, and a bit more slender as well. A moment passed before the Princess spoke, "So you are a... human right? What planet are you from and what technology exists there?" Gina paused a moment, the first time she was able to in the hour from bieng shuttled from Twilight's treehouse to a huge beautiful castle. She replied, "I come from the planet Earth and our technology has a huge list, let me tell a few... Living in space, Planet Cracking, a bunch of tools that involve lasers, artificial gravity, and holograms... oh and also RIGs." Princess Celestia had her eyes widen at the complexity of the being's list of technology, but 2 questions sprung from her mind. "2 questions if I may ask, what's "Planet Cracking" and what's a RIG?" Gina took another sip of tea, and replied, "Well to start off with Planet Cracking, you see this bun?" Gina held up the hemi-spherical loaf of bread she was givin, "Now imagine this is a planet," Gina made a small pocket on the top with her fingers and tore the bread in two. The Princess did a small gasp at the translation of the demonstration. "Y...you mean... they crack open entire planets?!" The Princess worridly replied, Gina nodded, "Crazy s*** right?" Gina replied with a sly grin. "But why?" The Princess frantically asked, "Because so we can get its resources," Gina said, "You see... Earth is currently a dead husk living inside itself..." Gina said, clearly annoyed, "And to answer your 2nd question, a RIG is this..." Gina said before removing the leather jacket she got custom made from Rarity, the Princess was obviously amazed at what she saw, 2 white bracket holders were planted onto Gina's lower back and neck, with a clear tube running in between, a cyan line ran down the tube, cut up into diagonal trapezoids. "Oh my... doesn't that hurt?" The Princess asked, "Only when they insert the probes into your spine, but they can be removed, but its way more painful." Gina said informatively. Suddenly a mantis-like thing burst itself into the room, panting, it looked like a king, with purple sapphires decorating its silk coat, polished in gold leaf. "King Partitiore? What are you doing here?" The Princess asked, King Partitiore replied in a deep voice, "First things first, one of our fortresses have been invaded by some...thing! Second, who's this creature?" Partitiore asked as he peered at the puzzling creature before him. "That's Gina, she's a human." The Princess said, "Gina, this is King Partitiore, a Irellusite king, the Irellusites are a usually peaceful race but sometimes they are violent ones." The king nodded, "Round up your best ponies and come meet me at Fortress RE-23, and bring Gina too!" he said before scrabbling off, The Princess nodded, "Wait a minute, Fortress RE-23, no pony or thing ever survived an encounter there!" The Princess gasped, "And your point is?" Gina asked, "How could one creature come in and kill everything in there and still survive?" The Princess asked, Gina shook her head.

(The next chapter is gonna be big guys, i promise you... this was just a set up to get you ready.)

Fortress RE-23... and so much more...

View Online

Gina has never seen so much blood and bodies in her life, except from the Sprawl, with her, the Mane 6 were looking all around, except Rarity, who was using a magic carpet just to get around. Suddenly, a shrill voice echoed througout the compound, "FOUND SOMETHINGY!" Pinkie Pie yelled, the group ran over, in Pinkie's hooves was what looked like a small journal, "I'll read it!" Gina said as she snatched the book from Pinkie Pie's hooves. She flipped around until she found a page, covered in blood more than any other page, circled in blood were the 2 objectives "Take over Equestria and over rule King Partitiore" and "Deliver the Marker" Gina gasped, the Mane 6 peered over trying to get a peek. "What is it?" Rainbow Dash asked. "It says here to deliver the "Marker" and take over Equestria and overrule King Partitiore!" The group gasped, "We must get to the Princess and the King IMMEDIATLY!" Twilight yelled, the group nodded in unison and dashed towards Canterlot.


"PRINCESS!" Twilight gasped as she and the others barged through the doors. Princess Celestia and King Partitiore turned toward the group, "What is it?" King Partitiore asked, Pinkie Pie automatically screeched, "ITSAJOURNALWHEREWEFOUND2THINGSMARKEDINBLOODABOUTTAKINGOVEREQUESTRIAANDOVERTHROWINGKINGPARTITIOREANDSOMETHINGABOUTDELIVERINGAMARKERANDINEEDTOCALMDOWNFORONCE!" Everyone stared at the pink pony, when finally Gina said, "We found this journal which said to take over Equestria and overthrow the King and deliver a Marker..." Princess Celesia and King Partitiore gasped, "WE MUST GET OVER TO THAT FORTRESS AND FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED!" The King said, and then they charged all the way to Fortess RE-23...


"Ok, i will now cast a replay spell which will take us back in time as ghosts so we don't mess up the space-time continuim, and we can find out once and for all what happened here, ok?" Twilight said when they arrived at the wreckage, the group nodded and Twilight's horn glowed a vivid lavender, and the group was then shrouded in a pit of light.


When the light ceased, the group was now translucent, and before them was a clearly intimidating structure, "Thats the fortress!" King Partitiore said, "Sh! We need to be quiet, we need all the info we can get!" Twilight hissed, the group nodded, and watched silently.


Fortress RE-23 was locked up as always, with guards covering every square inch, a disciplined and elite army, and a huge population of both. Suddenly, a piercing shot rang out as one of the guards fell with a hole cleanly etched between the eyes, alarms suddenly rang out as everyone was able to trace the shot to near the front door, and the entire army of 10,000 soldiers surrounded the inside entrance of the fortress armed with machine guns, a deadly silence encased the army, but all of a sudden a noise was heard out in the front door, "Wub wub wub wub wub wubwubWUBWUBWUBWBUWBUWBWUB!" the sound gained in pitch and volume until finally a huge expolsion tore the doors apart, and the soldiers toughened thier defense, but they werent prepared when, suddenly, a burst of gun fire hit a soldier in the face, killing him upon the first bullet, then some...thing walked into the blockade, "Oh god... Is that who i think it is?" Gina gasped, standing before the milita was a creature, much like Gina in posture and height, but looked more like a machine. The creature was wearing a full bodysuit, from what the group could tell, and a helmet with 3 blue illuminated slits in the helmet probably for sight, the helmet was made completely from metal and encased the head of the creature, on its back, it had a RIG almost exactly like Gina's but it had a half-circle on the side of it, metal almost covered the creature, especially at the chest, back, arms and legs, and also there was something resembling a V shape, it was orange at the front and it was placed at the center of the chest, the creature was holding something with a Y-like shape on one end, and a stock at the other. Suddenly, the army opened fire, and the creature ran over to a side building for cover, the army surrounded the entrance, when suddenly a big boom sent the middle section flying, and out came the creature, holding a wierd device, the creature broke out into a sprint, taking out another wierd contraption and started shooting lasers, one Irellusite got hit in the arm by one and the arm split cleanly from its owner, screaming in pain, the soldier's cries were cut short when he got a laser to the neck, the head rolling around, gunfire was now sprawling all around, limbs were jettisoned back and forth as screams of pain were deafened by the sounds of weapons and explosions, and all the group could do was watch in horror, "How... how is this possible?" King Partitiore asked as a tank blew up. After what seemed like hours all the chaos ceased, blood caked the walls and buildings, smoke and flames protruded from what was left of armored cars and tanks, a small grunt protruded from the wreckage as a muscular Irellusite rose up, King Partitiore gasped, "That's Captain Methias!" Suddenly, Methias's top half fell down as a circular object struck cleanly through him, the creature walked toward the halfless captain, holding a odd object with a circular thing at one end, the circle, which turned out to be a sawblade, was held by a blue line protuding from the object, the sawblade spontaneously combusted, but the creature didnt seem to care, then he shouted, "Ok you pansy, tell me where the Marker is being delivered!" Methias looked a bit confused, "You're telling me you killed all my men just to ask where the f***ing Marker is?" he said in a gravelly voice, "Yes, and you're gonna get a world of hell and pain if you dont tell me where!" the creature spat out, Methias took a breath, "You will find it in the journal on that table." He pointed a claw to a wooden table. "Thanks." the creature said as he shot a sawblade and whipped it right through Methias's neck, while blood was spewing from the Captain's wound, the creature walked over to the table and opened the journal, flipping pages, he found a page, got some blood, and marked 2 of the objectives. He closed it and put it back on the table, "Looks like i have some exploring to do..." the creature said as he walked out of the fortress. He then jumped foward and 2 blue streams of light protruded from his feet as he propelled forward, faster than a Sonic Rainboom.


The group was suddenly shrouded in white light again, when they returned to the present, looks of surprise and horror were etched onto thier faces, "That was... eventful, how about we discuss this at the castle?" Princess Celestia said, "Wait a minute... i think i know who that creature was!" Gina yelled, "Who?" the group asked in unison, "I think it was Ben."

(OK guys here are the weapons used in that paragraph according to order.
Seeker Rifle
(almost forgot) Line Gun
Pulse Rifle
Plasma Cutter
Ripper)

Meanwhile...

Ben overlooked the castle, still a bit shaken from the crash, but alive nonetheless. He studied the discussion room, occupied by the Mane 6, Princess Celestia, King Partitiore and Gina, along with some other leaders. The Wonderbolts were taking fly-by's for security, and occasionally Rainbow Dash would join them, after a while returning to the discussion. The Higher Council, which is the true controllers of Equestria, mumbled something, then the leader pointed a hoof at the end where the 9 were sitting, shouting something, then all of a sudden, guards were pouring in, it looked like they were... arresting them!? The group was confused, and they were forced down the hall and pushed out into the open, forced down the hill and into a cavern, "Oh god, the dungeon inside the caves of Canterlot..." Ben whispered, he tried to move away but a branch loudly snapped, getting the attention of the Wonderbolts. "SON OF A B**CH!" Ben swore as he dashed away, kicking on his jetboots as he roared into the sky, the Wonderbolts were in close persuit, using manuvers to gain speed, "GET OVER HERE AND GIVE UP!" Spitfire yelled, "ALL YOU WILL BE SEEING IS MY JETSTREAM!" Ben screamed as he clicked on the Force Gun booster he added to fly almost as fast as the speed of light. Everything became a blur as he flew into his cave, triggering the door to shut. Ben commanded his helmet to detach itself and go back into his RIG as he parted the brown hair from his eyes and adjusted his glasses, "Oh dear God why did they put them in the dungeons?" Ben asked to himself, "Whatever the reason, I'm getting them back."

Jailbreak

View Online

That night, Ben snuck out of his cave, wearing the special Spec. Ops RIG he made, it was all black, except for the stasis and kenisis module, Health Bar, and SightProtectors, which were a camo green, he also had the Spec. Ops Plasma Cutter, Pulse Rifle, Seeker Rifle, and Contact Beam, all stowed within his Big-Yet-Small pockets. "Tonight, a jailbreak will happen, and it will be well known for centuries..." Ben mumbled, kicking on his jet boots and roaring off into the night.


"I can't believe that they could just arrest us like that!" Twilight yelled, shaking her front hooves helplessly as the chains bound to her clinked, ever since they were arrested, they were getting visits and letters from thier friends and family, telling them that they were delusional, and that Ben was dead. It didn't really help the fact that the group was also suspended high up off the ground, sealed in a stone vault. "The fact that we are also magic and fly-proofed isnt helping at all!" Rainbow Dash said, "Now i will never be in the Wonderbolts!" Suddenly, a door opened to a bunker-like area at their body level, and in strode a rather smug stallion, with all sorts of diamonds decorating his waistcoat, "Chief Warkin!" Princess Celestia yelled, the stallion smirked and chuckled, "Oh you stupid mules, give or take a human and a Irellusite, how are you doing today?" Before the group could respond, Warkin said "Don't tell me, im just going to a meeting to discuss your fates, which will probably be in a mental hospital, and im gonna make your friends and family suffer quite horridly, goodbye." Warkin smirked and left the room, leaving the 9 dangling. "Im gonna punch his snooty face out..." Rarity growled.


Ben steadied his aim on the security camera, the moonlight glinting off of his Seeker Rifle, a small whisp of smoke protruded from the rifle as the camera exploded into bits, giving Ben the chance to sprint to the maitnence vents, unscrewing the grate and slipping inside, being extra careful with his movements, finding a random grate, he punched through and landed into what looked like a file room. A particular folder caught his eye, causing him to look at its contents, catching eye of one report that read:
File No. 92314
Codename: Make Us Whole
Species involved: Ponies, Irellusites
Main Project Managers: Chief Warkin, Pony, Captain Methias, Irellusite.
Latest Project Update: Mane 6, Princess Celestia, King Partitiore, Gina (Human, further info unknown) got a bit too close to finding out what we are up to, but Ben is truly dead, no doubt, as forged phsycological evidence can claim that the figure could have been in fact a machine, but that replay makes us wonder about the deaths of the entire army of Fortress RE-23 and the death of Methias, for now the 9 are locked in Vault 9324, which allows us some time to prepare the "Marker" for the events ahead. Hopefully we can overrule the Princesses and the King and allow Unitology to take over, allowing us to take control, thats all we can get up with for now, report end.
"Hmm, Looks like i have some dirt on the Higher Council, finally." Ben muttered as he snuck into the open hallways and began searching for the Camera controls, luckily finding them nearby, but a pony was watching over the cameras. Ben took out some chloroform, snuck up to the camera pony, and clasped the chloroform-ified cloth over the stallion's mouth, muffled screams protruded as the pony squirmed trying to break free, before closing his eyes and going limp. "That should keep him for about 10 minutes." Ben whispered as he patched into the cameras, satisfied with the extra edge over the dungeons, and crawled up another vent to Vault 9324.


After five minutes of crawling through the ventways, Ben finally found the vent to Vault 9324's control room. Breaking through, he was greeted by the surprised faces of the Mane 6, King Partitiore, Princess Celestia, and Gina. The group was shocked at first until Gina shouted "BEN! YOUR ALIVE!" Ben nodded as his helmet deattached itself and made its way back into his RIG. "Yes I am! Ive seen you get arrested by the Higher Council, they think im dead huh?" Ben remarked as he opened up the control panel, "Don't tell me now, because im trying to get you out of here." Ben said as he hacked into the panel, causing the platfrom below the 9 to rise up, and break the chains that held the group, once freed, Gina ran over to Ben, attacking him with a hug saying "YOURALIVEYOURALIVEYOURALIVE!" Ben chuckled as he freed himself and gave a bulkier version of a plasma cutter to Gina, "I think you left this at the ship." he said, motioning the group to follow him.


The group ran down the halls, making sure that no one was there until they got out, a car was in front of them, Ben motioned them to get inside, and when everyone was in, they drove off. Roads and trees were a blur as he drove when suddenly, shrill sirens pierced the air! "F**K THEY FOUND US!" Ben yelled, stamping on the gas. Pegasus and unicorns in helicopters caught up to the group, trying to stop them, whimpers from Fluttershy rose. "What are we going to do Ben!?" Twilight yelled, "WE'RE GONNA TAKE A LITTLE DETOUR!" Ben screeched as he drove the car off the road, a naturally placed ramp was in sight, and before long, the group were off the ramp and into the air, heading towards the castle, "YIPPIE KI YAY MOTHERF**KER!" Ben squealed with delight. The car met a plate glass window, and effortlessly crashed through it, screams of ponies audible! The car rolled around then stopped, right side up. Ben got out of the car and ran over to Chief Warkin, even though the Chief tried to ask something, he was cut short by Ben's steel-clad punch to his face. "WHO THINKS IM DEAD NOW!?" Ben yelled. Suddenly, the door burst open and the entire Royal Guard surrounded the wreckage, but Ben just calmly walked over to Shining Armor and handed him the folder, "Prosecute the hell out of the Higher Council, trust me." Ben said as he walked out.

"You sure this is safe? Ow! Quit that!" Ben said as another sensor got pulled off his head. It was the next morning, and Ben was hooked up to what resembled an EEG machine, a metal bowl on his head, "Sorry, but we need to look at some memories of youself." Twilight said, putting on some goggles, joining her were an array of professors, the rest of mane 6, Gina, Princess Celestia and Luna, and Shining Armor. "Alright everypony, put your goggles on," Twilight said, "I am going to turn on the machine now, which will rewind to the most reasonable moment, Ben will also join us." Twilight added before flipping the switch, putting on her goggles, and residing in the row of seats the Mane 6 were in, a hum came from the machine as the screens inside the goggles turned white, and flashed back to the reasonable moment.


"C'mon Ben, we're gonna get arrested." Gina said, its been 2 months since Isaac Clarke and Ellie Langford, thier "Foster Parents" Left for a vacation in the Bahama Nebula, Ben and Gina have been trying to entertain themselves, for Ben, that would be screwing around with the NVIDIA space station's technology, for Gina, it would be hanging around like normal daughters-of-apocalypse-surviving-mothers would do, hang around at the ship bay, check the technology making sure its alright, that kind of stuff.

"Who the hell is gonna notice me funnelling 50 billion credits from that poor bastard? Teidemenn got his f**king head shot off by Dad remember?" Ben said as he punched in some random numbers, a "Ding!" confirming the transaction.

"Rgh, never mind, I'm going to go to the ship bay, meet up with Mr.Visia, check the tech, that kinda s**t, see ya at the Food Court, f**kface!" Gina swore, walking out the door.

"Don't suck any d**k on the way out!" Ben hollard, smirking to himself. He then changed into his Field Officer R.I.G, which included a built in Workbench and Store hologram, gathered his stuff, and set off for the Experimental Weapons Facility.


When Ben arrived at the facility, it was dead quiet, "Hello? Anyone here?" Ben asked, walking towards the Testing Facility. Suddenly, a vent bust open from above him and something fell right onto Ben! "AAGH! GET OF ME YOU F**KING SON OF A B**CH!" Ben swore as he shook the thing off. Upon closer inspection, the object was a body, a scientist, Ben assumed, he searched the body and found the key card to the Test Armory. Ben punched a few numbers onto his R.I.G Link, and a few seconds later, Mr.Lenoski, the station's Leader, popped onto his screen, "Yes, Ben? What is it?" Lenoski asked,

"Well, how do i put this? I came in the testing facility, no one was here, and i shook of a scientist's body about 2 minutes ago, i think you should set an alert, i think i know what caused this." Ben replied.

A pause continued from Lenoski's line, and then he said
"Ok i will send an alert, what is it?"

"Oh its nothing,"
Ben said.
"Just a family tradition."

Taking a trip down Memory Pain Pt.2

Footsteps echoed off the blood-covered walls as Ben walked through the dimly lit hallway, finally approaching the testing armory, the door slightly creaked as it slid open, only to reveal a locked box, 2 healthpacks and a card of some sort.
"Are you f**king kidding me? NVIDIA just discovered Jaxorifalcide minerals and alien technology capable of a countless array of weaponry! And this is all that they can get!?" Ben hissed, walking into the armory, suddenly a groan made its way from one corner, and a scientist, barely alive, crawled out of the shadows. "Dr.Audiski!" Ben yelled as he ran over to the dying scientist,
"Ben... its the end of the station here, run... run dammit, run to the nearest escape pod!"

"Audiski, what's the code for the box? What's that card over there? What happened?"

"The code first of all, its... 98305, the card... *Cough* you've heard of the minerals and tech we recently discovered right? Well, we found out we could use the technology and minerals to put every single tool, weapon, you name it, all into one card, *Cough* but... something attacked us... before we could even finish releasing it to the public security, clipped me really bad... I wont be able to make it, just ru-'
The word barely left his mouth before Dr.Audiski started coughing up blood repetedly, and then fell over, a pool of blood surrounding the man, Ben then let the man be, walking over to the box, picking up the card, the healthpacks, and inputting the code, a beep confirmed the code, and the box lifted open.
"Fistiguns? Sweet!" Ben exclaimed, the Fistiguns had just released its information to the public, and the details were nothing compared to the actual thing, a titanium body, 4 barrels at the end, each one shooting Jaxorifalcide bullets, capable of many purposes, but mainly for CQC divisions, Ben decided to hold on to these, as these could be proven useful.
"Well, i better warn Gina."
Ben punched in the numbers and then came Gina's face, stained by ship oil and rust that rubbed off.
"What is it Ben?"
"Gina, you have to get one of those gunships up and running now!"
"What the hell are you talking about? Mr.Lenoski issued out a warning to the entire station, is this what's all about?"
"Look, the creatures from Mom and Dad's stories are most likely here, infecting the crew, so go and get a ship up and running now!"
"I doubt those creatures are real Ben... wait what's tha- Oh god, its those creatures! Ok fine, i'll get a ship running, just get over here, where are you now?'
"At the test armory in the testing facility, but those bastards have beaten me to it, Dr.Audiski is dead, and i got some Fistiguns, and a card containing basically every tool and weapon and thing ever existed."
"Oh god... ok, we are on both ends of the station, dont worry, i can fend myself, I still have the plasma cutter Mom gave me."
"Alright, i'll meet you there, seeya!"
Ben then switched off the RIGlink, sighed, and headed for the door.


Meanwhile on the Bahama Nebula... And not in the memory goggles...
Isaac Clarke took another sip of his martini, looking at the tropical sky, joining him was Ellie Langford, the 2 decided to take a vacation, leaving the kids to thier own doings,
"Isn't this a good vacation?" Isaac said.
"Sure is, are you sure it was a good idea to leave the kids there? The signal at NVIDIA has gone dark..."
"Don't worry, the signal always goes dark."
"Ok, can't wait to see the kids again in 2 weeks."
"Your telling me."
Isaac chuckled and took another sip of his martini, looking at the waitresses across from him.


Back in the memory machine...
The hallways illuminated with soft light as Ben made his way through when suddenly, he heard some sort of screech!
Ben dashed over to the door and skidded to a halt as a huge leaper lunged towards him!
Quickly reacting, Ben whipped out a fistigun and sent a 4-bullet burst speeding towards the middle of the monster, leaving Ben a bit surprised as the monster got cut in half by the bullets.
"Guess the technology is a bit too advanced... oh well."
He decided to keep walking slowly toward the door, when an orange figure materialized out of nowhere, grabbed Ben and yelled "MAKE US COMPLETE!"
Everything then went fuzzy as the goggles powered down, leaving the video a pitch black void...
"What happened?" One of the professors asked.
"Its ok its a power outage, its the time pegasi test out the thunder and lightning clouds so they won't electrocute as much."
Rainbow dash said.
"Well for sure it kinda went down at an inconvienient time." Said Ben, exiting the machine,
"I wonder what that figure wa-" Twilight hardly finished before gunshots inside the room erupted.
BLAM!
BLAM BlAM BLAM!
"What was that!?" Gina said, ducking behind a seat.
"That was me." A voice out of nowhere said.
The power flickered back on to reveal Chief Warkin holding a pistol, and in his other grip was Ben, 4 shots engraved into his head.
"How could you!?" Gina yelled.
"Why couldn't I? The bastard knew too much about me and my plan, so what better time to kill him than now? And don't even think that the royal guard or anyone can save you now, my army captured them, and the changeling army, they are too useless and incompetent to be slaves, and besides, a signal is bieng broadcasted which prevents every slave's powers and wings from working at all, you fillies will make great servants of mine. Guards, take them away, throw the body in a coffin across from the prison." Warkin smiled as the black-clad guards rushed in and apprehended everyone in the room, 2 guards dragged the corpse away, "Convergence will be here, im sure of it." Warkin devilishly smiled.

Ain't no rest for the Dead

Shining Armor sighed, an hour ago 2 guards came in with a casket that was said to contain Ben's corpse, and threw it on the piles of coffins from many years ago, it was hopeless to break out, magic was out of the question, and brute force was too risky.
"Oi those buckin' bastards, they think they can throw us in here for the rest of our lives!"
Private Lenny said after the guards exited, the cell was cramped with the entire changeling and Royal Guard crew all cramped together.
"Shut the f**k up Lenny, its hopeless." Captain Gernie sneered,
"Will you two shut the buck up?" Shining said, "We are stuck here for f**king hell knows how long, my sister is enslaved by that bastard, and I can't do anything about it!"

"That's where I come in..."

Everybody hushed as all eyes darted to the source of the voice, the source led to the coffin right before it burst into splinters, revealing a standing and very well alive Ben, the group was amazed.

"HOW THE F**K ARE YOU STILL ALIVE!? I HEARD THAT FOUR BUCKIN' BULLETS WERE POUNDED IN AN EXACT DIAMOND IN YOUR HEAD!" Shining hissed.

"Don't get your balls all tangled Shiny, and bullets? They can suck my d**k for what i care, but that's not the point, the point is that im gonna get you guys out of here, but for now only Shiny here can come with me... and you guys are gonna have to stay here while me and Shiny get help."

Ben said as he punched the lock open, allowing Shining Armor to pass then close it.

"Why that sunnuva b**ch?

"Why not?"

The soldier quietly shrugged and went back to keeping some space for himself.


Meanwhile back at the Bahama Nebula...
"What do you MEAN that NVIDIA was attacked by bio-terrorists?!"
Isaac and Ellie had been recieving calls about a bio-terrorist attack all morning, forcing them to stop thier vacation and check on the kids.
"Get Gina's co-ordinates!"

"I'm on it dammit!" Isaac hissed.
"Got them! She's on an unknown planet, she and Ben better not have f**ked up the station!"
The 2 raced out of the hotel and into the ship bay, running into thier gunship and speeding out of there, nearly hitting a cruise ship.
"SORRY I'M STILL DRUNK AFTER DRINKING 55 SEXY SHIRLEYS!" Isaac yelled out the window.

"I still can't believe we hijacked this Humvee Scout-o-matique..." Shining Armor said.
It had been an hour later, and the 2 were now speeding along the dunes of Raptoricus Desert.
"Yeah well it was damn worth it." Ben smirked.
"Where the hell are we going anyway?" Shining Armor asked,
"To see a friend of mine that will help us win this war, he is a gunrunning badass, this guy has all the stuff we need to free your soldiers and win this f**ked up war, everything we need, he has about 1000x that much, and we are just about there." Ben replied, pointing up ahead.
A small building loomed up ahead, Ben parked the Humvee at the entrance and motioned Shining Armor to enter with him.
Upon entry, sentries surrounded the duo, one of them asking, "Please enter password or die please?"
"Freedom." Ben said confidently.
The sentries nodded and scooted away, leaving Ben and Shining Armor all alone.
"How the hell do you know this guy again?"
"Long story, now come on!"
Ben walked toward an elevator with Shining Armor following close behind.


The duo arrived at a strange looking room, with a figure sitting at the far end of the room, suddenly spinning around to show a green and technicolor striped pony.
"Jzarjay, long time no see eh?" Ben said.
"Sure has, is that the captain of the Royal Guard behind you?"
"Yup, don't worry, he's cool."
"So what do you need?" Jzarjay said, flapping his wings.
"Heard you got 4 bullets pounded into your skull."
"I have my ways," Ben said.
"But we kind of need some help right now, lemme explain." Ben said...


Isaac and Ellie pulled into the atmosphere when suddenly a tractor beam pulled them in!
"What the f**k?" Isaac swore.
The door opened to reveal 10 wierdly coloured ponies, but some had wings, some had horns, but all were carrying guns aimed at the 2.
"Double what the f**k." Ellie replied.
"You are hopelessly outnumbered, please come with us."
The duo looked at eachother and helplessly began to follow the group into some sort of jail, and inside were some dirtier ponies.
"Mom, Dad!" A dirty Gina said, running toward them.
"Hey sweetie, what the hell happened? Where's Ben?" Isaac worridly said.
"Me and Ben crashed into this planet while escaping from NVIDIA, damn necromorphs killed everybody there, me and Ben were seperated, and we thought he was dead, but it turns out he wasnt, but NOW he had 4 bullets shot into his head, i'll tell more about it later on!" Gina replied before the guards pushed her out of the way, and escorted the duo into a seperate section for Slave evaluation.
"Can't believe Ben's dead... seems that he's luckier than us now..." Isaac said.


Later that night...
A truck rumbled across the desert, it's driver blankly looking across the empty deserts, behind him the whines of the Royal Guard and the changeling army poked out of the back.
Suddenly, the truck stopped, everything went out.
"The hell?"
2 creatures approached him, one standing on 2 legs, one on all fours, both wearing black clothing with green lights here and there.
"Sorry about the EMP, but our boss wanted this checkpoint to be pretty damn thorough in our searches." The 2 legged creature said with a nasaly voice.
"Who is this boss?" The driver asked.
"He's just a security officer positioned here, why do you ask?" The four legged creature said with a deeper voice than the 2-legged.
"Cuz this world is under Chief Warkin's rule, while you guys somehow control this part."
"Oh, heheh, don't worry, we ain't hostile or anything, right Ritchel?" The 2-legged said.
"Eeyup."
"Alright, you can go check the back, but i'm coming with you." The driver replied, hopping out of the seat.
"Even better, that way we can make sure the stuff we see is the stuff we think it is." 2-legged replied.
The trio circled to the back, where 500 ponies and changelings greeted thier eyes.
"Hm, judging by the look of this, i'd say your transporting the Royal Guard and the Changeling army to a peace rally, so you are all clear, just fill in this form right here." 2-legged said as he took out a form.
"Um... ok, got a pen i could borrow?" The driver asked.
"Sure." 2-legged said, he whipped out a surpressed gun and shot the driver square in the head.
The driver didn't even flinch, he just fell down with a surprised look on his face.
"Oh and by the way, we arent this damn stupid!" Ben said, holstering the gun.
"Get the body outta here." Ben said, pointing to Shining Armor,
"I'll go get the truck started up."
"Ok then." Shining Armor replied, dragging the body out and into the sand dunes.
"As for everybody else, stay calm, we are freeing you and giving you a chance to retailiate." Ben said, starting the truck, and with Shining Armor next to him in the shotgun, the truck rumbled on towards its new destination.

"Can't wait to take down that Warkin bastard." Shining said.
It had been 2 months of training ever since they had everyone they needed, and now the main squad which contained just Ben and Shining Armor were just sitting in the Humvee that was taking them towards the Royal Palace.
"Main Squad Alpha Ready?" The radio spoke.
"Hell yeah." The 2 said.
Ben flipped the radio switch and spoke, "Alright guys, we've been preparing for this for 2 months, and this time we ain't f**king around here, we need to be clear on the R.O.E here, don't hit the civilians, and hit the soldiers, okay?"
"Yes sir."
"Of course, cap."
"I just wanna kill some soldiers."
"Alright," Shining said, taking out his LMG, "Let's kick some ass already!"


"Recon team, you got your explosive ammo ready?"
"Yes, sir."
"Alright on the mark, you hit the doors, busting them open, and triggering the Explo-Sync flash bang charges." Ben said.
"3... 2... 1... MARK!"


The bullets hit their precise targets, blowing the doors open!
"GO GO GO!" The soldiers followed Ben's orders as they burst into the complex, engaging every hostile with a bullet to the head!
BLAM! THUKA-THUKA!
Bullets ricocheted, enemies fallen, soon all that was left were scared civilians.
"Move on!" Ben yelled, running further on.


The army burst into the throne room, where all that remained were the alive and well Mane 6, Princess Celestia, Gina and...
"Mom, Dad? What the f**k are you guys doing here?" Ben asked.
"Ok really Ben? At least tell us when you are alive!" Gina asked, rolling her eyes but obviously grateful at the present state of her stepbrother.
"Ben! What the hell happened?" Isaac yelled.
"Long story! Where's Warkin?"
"He took off in a cargo plane!" Celestia said.
"Alright, Gina, come with me, we need to get to that cargo plane!" Ben said, Gina following him out the door, nodding.

They finally began to know...

"DAMMIT! THEY WERE RIGHT THERE AND THEY WENT ALL LIGHT-SPEED ON OUR ASSES!" Ben frustratingly said, pounding the table for the third time, he and Gina had failed to pursue the cargo plane as it went into light-speed, leaving nothing but a memory of where it was.

"Shut up, Ben!" Gina retorted


"WOAH!" Ben yelled as he woke up in bed, "That was some fucked up dreaming!"

"Or was it?"
DUN DUN DUUUUUN!
