> Homefront: repelling the Griffin kingdom. > by Electric Radiation > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > prologue > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Griffin Kingdom is extremely overpopulated. With so many griffins living in one general area, living conditions are not well. Sewage plants cannot keep up with, not enough power, food is becoming a problem. The Griffin king had to move his people to better lands. At the Canterlot Castle in Equestria. The griffin king was in a meeting with Princess Celestia. King Razorslash and Celestia has been discussing what to do since the griffins had accidently destroyed the whole Griffin Kingdom. Razorslash has been sitting down across from Celestia in the war room. "Celestia you must please understand, my people are growing weary and restless. Why are you so reluctant of letting us use the mirror portal to let us start again on a new world?" He slammed his fist into the hard oak table. "Razor, please... you know that we cannot just send you to another planet. You'd be starting a war with the indigenous creatures there. You need to think things out before you just jump to conclusions." She used her magic and took her glass of water and took a sip from it. "Princess we have, but we are out of time." Razor said pleading. "Just open a portal for us, we will start by sending scouts to find a suitable location and then send the Griffin army to set up defenses. After that we shall all leave to our new world and grow as we please, thus leaving the pony species alone." Razor said confidently. "But what about the indigenous creatures that live there already? Will you choose to live in peace with them or eliminate them?" Celestia said sternly. "You just can't go around killing just for pleasure. We know how you griffins were in your past. What's not stopping you from repeating it again?" "Look Celestia" Razor said growling. "I cannot fully guarantee you anything. But we will promise you if anything happens that should happen, I won't hold you accountable or have any evidence that Equestria was involved with our relocation. Now please help us already." Razor sat there his claws were tapping the solid green marble table that separated the two. "Fine... but we shall not be held accountable for anything.... I shall retire to my chambers and prepare a portal spell. I will use the spell tomorrow and lastly I will send a squad of the royal guards later on to check on all of you. That's all." Celestia said tiredly and left the war room with Razor having a shocked expression on his face. "Thank you Celestia," Razor said. "You are very lucky, Razor." Luna said as she entered the room. "I've never seen her so annoyed in a long time. So please just go to your chambers until morning and we will discuss from there." "Luna, I will do as you say, and I apologize for the trouble I caused today." Razor said. _____________________________________________________________________________________ (Celestia's personal chamber) "Let's see," Celestia said to herself. "I've found four different portal spell, each having their pros and cons. This one allows only a one way. This other one will send to an unknown destination but can't come back." Celestia put her hoof too her forehead and laid on her bed. Her eyes widened when she scanned a page of a dusty old book. "This is it, a two way portal that will last forever.... the portal can be moved with a mere phrase... and can be destroyed any time too. This will work perfectly for the Griffins.." I laid the book on the nightstand putting my yellow bookmark, marking the page with the spell. Laid on the bed pulling the covers up to my head and closed my eyes and went to sleep. Meanwhile Luna was sitting at the thrown doing a crossword puzzle while her guards stood at attention. Luna had always loved crossword puzzles and night was the only time she could have fun since most of the work was done during the day when the subjects were awake. As for this night there were no problems so she just scribbled away on her puzzle. After a couple of hours Luna had laid her puzzle down and walked to a window staring at the empty night sky. Not a pegasus in the sky nor a bird. When morning came Luna was heading to bed to take a nap until it was time for Celestia to perform the Portal spell. "Morning Luna," Celestia said cheerfully. "Night Celestia, see you at lunch time." Luna yawned and went to bed. (Celestia) She watched Luna walked down the hallway. While entering the dining room where Razor and a few of his bodyguards were eating breakfast. Celestia decided to tell them the news. "Morning Razor, I have good news, I've found a two way portal spell, so we can still trade and visit." "That is good news Celestia, I had been worried if we would be cut off once you sent us somewhere." Razor said happily. Celestia after we get settled down, we would like to throw you and your friends a party for helping the Griffin kingdom in our time of need." "Razor it is no problem, we are always ready to help out if we can." Celestia said smiling as she took her seat at the table and started to eat what was on her plate. A guard came into the room and whispered something into Celstia's ear, "Twilight Sparkle and her friends just arrived." "Thank you, sir and your dismissed." Celestia said. As the morning progressed, Celestia sent Twilight and her friends to go and visit Twilight's parents while I had to prepare for the portal spell. I sent Twilight and everyone to a fancy cafe. Hopefully if would be enough time to get the griffins portal ready to start sending them through. They all did as Iasked. Mr. and Mrs. Sparkle also worked at the castle. Twilight's family was excited to hear that her and her friends were coming to visit. They all met at the restaurant where they visited for a few hours. Nothing special, just catching up on all of the little things. But as everyone arrived back at the castle they noticed Pinkie Pie walking out of the castle acting like Pinkie Pie. "Pinkie, why did you skip out on lunch?" Applejack asked. "Oh well, I saw this fun thing outside and I followed it ..." Pinkie exclaimed happily. .... (Few minutes later) "And thats when I found walked out of the castle and you guys found me." All the ponies looked at each other and figured she was just being normal Pinkie Pie. (Celestia) Everything went smoothly for me as I grabbed the materials from my room that I required and found an extra object and took it anyways not really thinking what its purpose it was. I rushed into the courtyard where me, Luna, and a handful of guards took chariots to the open fields between Canterlot and Ponyville. This spot was chosen for the portal, there were two trees in the field. Celestia used the trees as to give life to the portal and placed five orbs around the trees and placed the mysterious brown square rock in the middle and started to use her magic to complete the portal. "As this portal remains open, let us pray no evil comes back from wince it came. " Celestia said chanting. The incantation, which had lasted for roughly five long minutes. As the trees began to glow a bright color a dirt path led between the two trees. As Celestia stood down and sat, Razorshash motioned for his troops through the portal. "Celestia, I don't know if I will ever be able to thank you enough," Razor said bowing. "My people now have a chance to be free again." "Razor, no problem, we will send a squad to check in on your camp within a few days to help if you so require." Celestia said cheerfully. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Earth, The night of the griffins.. Everything has been calm sunny Friday day. The birds could be heard chirping throughout the neighborhood. Wesker just finished mowing the front yard when my friend Jim drove up. "Hey Jim, what's up?" Wesker asked as he shut the mower off, walking over to him. "Well Wesker, things could be a little better. Blew another tire coming home from work." Jim said annoyed. "Yea Jim, they really need to fix these roads." Wesker said eyeing the tire in the back of his truck. Something caught my eye on the tire. "Hey Jim, I think you might of ran over something." We took the blown tire out of the truck and showed him where the object caught Wesker's eye. I ran over to my pickup and grabbed my leather gloves and pulled out a barb like thing out of the tire. The barb was only two inches long, three inches wide and made out of steel. "Jim.... you ran over this...." "Wesker, man I would of seen that before I would of hit it. Besides why didn't it puncture the front tire than?? I bet someone threw it!!" Jim was furious by this point. "MAN that's 100 dollars down the drain for a new tire." "Jim it will be ok." Looked at the dark storm clouds approaching. "Well it looks like it might start pouring within the hour and I need to get everything put away. Also don't forget about the Street Bar Be Cue party tomorrow." "Wesker, you know I wouldn't miss that." Jim said as he finally cooled off a bit. I went and put the mower and the gas can inside the garage. Twenty minutes after he closed the garage door, the rain started to pour. And boy did it pour. So hard, I had dish so no TV. With nothing to do I went to I went to the radio and turned it on, least it was working. I took the radio to a spare bedroom which I had a table and a gun safe. "Which gun will I clean today?" I grabbed my AR-15, started to dissemble, three hours later an announcement came over the radio. "Attention, this is not a drill. There is something in this storm, its killing everybody. A caller said it looked like a mythical creature, a Griffin... I don't know what to think..." Minute pause. "OH MY GOD, Everyone take shelter... ITS GOT ME HELP............." The radio crackled and screaming could be heard.. followed by silent-ness. "Shit, so there is something out here killing people, hmmm this is going to be an interested night." I put the last of the pins in my AR. Opened a 50 Cal ammo can and pulled out a fresh clip and slapped it into my gun. Grabbed my FN-57 from my desk drawer and put it on a holster. Put an extra AR-15 clip and 57 in my back pocket. "Dam I hope this is a joke. But if not I'll be ready." He walked to the windows and closed the blinds. Wesker headed to the front door and looked through the peep hole. " I still have my gut telling me that this is a prank but lets see." For half an hour Wesker didn't see a thing so he went to his recliner set my AR down next to it and went back to his safe and grabbed my 12 gage shotgun, loaded buckshot and went back to my chair. Falling asleep for a hour or two while the storm still poured. I don't know when the power went out.. A HUGE creaking, breaking sound echoed through the house. "Shit!!!" I jumped out of my chair, only to see my door being torn apart. Running up to the door with my shotgun in hand. "You aren't getting in here alive!!!" I fired two shots through the door, I don't know if I hit anything. I found out quickly, might not be the best idea to not know what your up against, while standing so close to the broken door. I retreated to my AR and stood ready to fire. "HUMAN, you think you can hurt and kill me?" A voice echoed through the doorway. "HEY GUYS, I found us a human trying to be a Hero!!!! Lets storm and kill him!!!!" The voice said. "Ah shit!" He said while he ran to the gun room and hit a red mushroom button that closed the metal hurricane shutters. Knowing that this would only slow them down. Grabbed three more AR-15 mags. "Dam after these three mags, I'm left with two..." "Hurry before he escapes." The voice yelled. Looking around at his surroundings. The windows were locked because of the hurricane shutters were down. I threw my ammo boxes into the closet and hide in the back the only thing noticeable was my 12 gage shotgun aimed at the door. I prayed that they wouldn't see me. "Where did that human GO?" The intruder yelled. The intruders were destroying the house. "Gilda, we need to get your wing addressed, it looks like it really hurts." a voice said. "Private keep searching for the human, room by room. He may have injured me but I shall have his head for a trophy!!!" Gilda yelled, storming back outside leaving the private alone in the house. "Dam she is stubborn," Private said, as he continued to search the house. He made the mistake when he opened the closet where Wesker was hiding. BOOM BOOM BOOM "AHHHH, PLEASE STOP I GIVE I GIVE," the griffin cried as he clinched on to his injured wing and side. "Why should I show you mercy?" Wesker asked the griffin, "your lucky I want you alive." Setting the shotgun aside. I went past the injured griffin who was squirming and shut the door to the room and grabbed a med kit from the closet. "Please stay still," he told the griffin. The griffin just stood still in fear. Wesker had to take the armor off of the griffin and looked, the armor protected him but he is going to have a nice bruise while his wing had a nice blood spot. Had to use a spare shirt from the closet to bandage up the wing. "Griffin, you are extremely lucky." Wesker said smirking. "How am I lucky? I am now captured...." The griffin said laying on the floor. I could see by his facial expressions that he was still in pain. "Because you will not die, and I have something here that could take away the pain for awhile." Wesker said holding a vile of morphine. "Please take away the pain, I'll answer any questions that I can. Just please take away the pain." The griffin begged. "That's exactly what I would hope you'd say," grinned. "First question, your name?" "My name is Shadow Claw. I am Private first class in the Great Griffin Empire Army." "So shadow, who was that other griffin that came into my house?" "That was Captain Gilda. She is a reckless one.... May I please have this morphine?" Shadow Claw asked. "Yea, I'll give you the morphine now but we shall resume our little talk tomorrow." He grabbed the needle and injected the griffin with the morphine, Shadow didn't know that he actually was just a heavy sedative along with his morphine and was out like a rock. "Thank yo..." ZZZZZZZZ "Dam didn't think it would be that effective so quickly." While the griffin slept Wesker went to the front door which was broken open and closed the hole with a small table. After playing fix it, I retreated back to my closet and fell asleep listing to the rain pour. Shotgun still in my hands. > Aftermath > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The next day. (THUMP) I quickly woke up and scanned my surroundings. I grabbed my shotgun which was laying next too me and opened the door slowly. "Ok that griffin is still knocked out," I said to myself. I was holding a gun in each hand as I slowly and carefully crept past the sleeping beast. I surveyed the damage of my house and realized that the power was back on. I looked outside, through the hole in my makeshift door. After not seeing anything for a minute or two, I opened my homemade door and looked outside. "What in the hell, looks like a hurricane swept through here...." There were broken trees and cars turned over, but when I looked at the houses, they were filled with holes, I searched a few houses for survivors but no bodies anywhere, plenty of blood but no bodies. After a few more empty houses, I returned home only to find my guest was awake. "Shadow Claw, how long have you been awake?" I looked at his wing which the bleeding had stopped. "Not long..." He looked at his side and wing. Realizing that his side was just bruised. "Where did they take everybody? I looked in a few homes and there were no bodies, just a lot of blood..." I said as calmly as I could. "They are probably going to be put in a huge grave... Commander didn't want decomposing bodies laying everywhere." I stopped Shadow. "Look, everyone I know is probably dead. Right now your safe because I need info on your army. So listen carefully, I plan on killing each griffin I come accross. If I happen to stumble upon someone you know, I will let you warn them to go back to where you all came from. Otherwise they will DIE" I said straight in the griffins face. Shadow gulped and nodded. I opened my closet and started to take out multiple 50 cal ammo cans and loaded them into my truck. Three cans were full of shotgun shells, 3 filled with 5.7 by 28 bullets. 2 filled with MRE's and 1 with various survival equipment. While at the truck, I backed it up and hitched a small trailer with a 2015 Polaris Ranger. Loaded the Ranger with 4 cases of water. When I went back inside and grabbed a 243 Winchester bolt action rifle and ammo put in the truck along with my AR-15. I went and told Shadow to climb in the back of my truck... he barley fit. Once I thought I had everything I needed, I walked up to Shadow who was laying down. "Now we are going to check on a few locations... If we happen to find any survivors, you need to be quiet and leave the talking to me. Its strange, a mythical creature attacks and then able to speak.. Now please put your armor on, and just in case and if you try to escape, I shall kill you without hesitation. Do I make my self clear?" I asked while putting his armor in front of him. "Sir, I owe you for sparring my life. Don't worry about me running, I've seen you fight... pretty good." Shadow said, which pleased me. But I still had to keep an eye on him. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ (Meanwhile in Equestria) "Princess Celestia, thank you again." Razorslash said cheerfully. "We have basecamp set up right now and are about to start sending the rest of the Griffin army." "Razor," Celestia said happily because she was about to get rid of the griffins once and for all. "I am happy for you." No pony nor griffin knew what was happening on the otherside of that portal. Princess Luna walked into the room with Shadow Wing, a bat-pony or otherwise known as a Thessel and Electric Radiation, a Unicorn Metalmorph. As Electric walked into the room, his metal fur clinked with each step. "Princess Celestia, I've heard of Shadow Wing but what's with Electric Radiation? He looks, umm metal?" Razorslash asked curiously. "Razor, Electric is a Metalmorph, a clan of special ponies that was thought to be extinct. That necklace that he wears bares an element that allows him to morph into what you see." Celestia turned to Electric. "Please take off the necklace please." "Yes princess." Electric bowed to Celestia and took off his necklace. As he handed Shadow his necklace he tensed up as the metal fur like armor went back into him. After the complete transformation, Electric was just standing there no more armor and fur. He just stood there motionless. "As you can see, Electric has no fur meaning that he cant wear the Equestrian armor. But with that necklace's element inside, activates Electrics morphing abilities and you saw that metal fur like armor. It has been tested to many weapons and so far nothing has been able to penetrate it. " Celestia said as she went back to Razor. "Electric, you can put your necklace back on." As Electric got his necklace from Shadow and put it back on and morphed back into his armored state. "Thanks Shadow." Electric said as he stood back at attention. "That's quite impressive Celestia, but why do you have a heavy unit walking around inside the castle, he should be out there in the field." Razor said as he went up to Electric and ran his claw through Electrics metal fur. Electric didn't like it one bit as he charged his horn. "Razor, you'd better stop. Electric isn't the soldier for all the touching." Celestia said as she saw Electric trying to remain calm as the griffin was messing with him. I could see that Electric's mood was changing fast. "Electric, Shadow you two are dismissed, till lunchtime." Luna shut the doors after Electric and Shadow left the room. She was not happy one bit. Celestia's patience was starting to run thin. "Razor do not play with our guards. Electric may be able to handle what you just did but Shadow Wing would of tried to kill you." Luna said aggravated. She bit into her apple as Celestia continued with the meeting. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ (Electric Radiation and Shadow Wing) "Gah... I hate Diplomatics...." Electric said while walking. "You and me both, Electric. I hope they really enjoy this new place that we are sending them." Shadow said as they walked towards the Grand hall. "I hope that portal takes then to somewhere dangerous." Electric said. "Well lets go get some lunch."
