> A dark past > by Element Reading > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1: the first dream > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The year is 2017, humanity is at war with an alien race far superior in weapon technology then we are. We go to the fight for Russia, aliens are winning, but this is the battle we win for once. This battle is from the point of view of a young teenager, about the age of 16. Oh the aliens killed off so many soldiers that they had to start a draft for anyone 15 or older to join. The battlefield is right outside Moscow, aliens are fighting us to get into the city. They made a big base, the US and the Russians are both fighting the aliens. Bodies laid all over the ground, most of them young men and women, the sound of gun fire echo's through the battlefield, the screams of those in pain are heard by all. pov Private Axis: "WAKE UP PRIVATE AND GET OUT THERE NOW!" He woke up, he passed out from the shock of battle. "Yes sir sorry sir!" He shouted, he jumped to his feet and picked up his gun, it was an mk15 assault riffle, fully automatic. Axis jumped over the sandbags and started to fire at a lone alien, it looked like a big red ball with a hole on the top that shot alien missiles which liquify any living material in the blast range. He fired three shots killing it, he looked up and saw one of the missiles coming right on his position, he shouted, "MISSILE!" And ducked to the nearest rock, it barely missed him and with his shout three other soldiers got out of the way. He looked from the side of the rock for any aliens, there was one, a field captain, strangely it looked like a human with scales and pink skin, he grabbed his only grenade and pulled the pin. He waited a second and threw it at the alien, it didn't even see the grenade until pow. One explosion later it was just a blood splatter. Axis was about to charge the group of spitters until he heard, " HELP! MY LEGS ARE GONE, HELP!" He ran towards the down marine, she had blood stained on her face, her legs were gone. "Hey! I am going to get you to the medic tent! Grab my back!" She grabbed his back and he was pigging her back to the med tent. Until one of the soldiers shouted, "ALIEN JET, DUCK FOR COVER!" Axis looked and there one was, it was to fast to id, but he did drop to the ground. He heard the bullets hit the ground next to him and coming towards him. One second of ducking he heard the ship fly away to re arm, he asked, "you okay!?" He heard nothing so he looked at her, turns out that she took all the bullets and died on his back, Axis swung her off and crawled to the nearest sandbag cover, he was now panicking. "BADA*S INCOMING!" He looked and an alien that is similar to a xenomorph from alien, except it's head was a block and it held a big gun. It pointed it at Axis, "oh s**t!" It fired. Rainbow Dash's bed: Axis sat up, he was covered in sweat and was hyper ventilating, he was about 20 to 21. "Axis! What did you dream?!" Shouted his wife Rainbow Dash. He breathed in and out, "i-i-it was just an old war memory," said Axis. "That must of been horrible from how much I was trying to wake you." He looked at her. "Wait you tried to wake me?" She nodded at him, "damn, I think I need some advile and some warm milk, sorry to worry you honey." Said Axis. "I am just glad you are alright, you had me scared." He got up and slipped on his prosthetic feet, you see he lost them when he was fighting the aliens. He walked down the stairs. After some meds and milk he laid back down with her, "good night Dashy," "good night Ax." 8 am: Rainbow Dash was flying down the stairs to the kitchen while Axis was eating a piece of toast and drinking a cup of coffee. She landed on the cloud floor, "how'd you sleep last night Dashy?" She looked at him and replied, "good, I just wish I could get a few more hours of sleep," Axis chuckled and looked at his watch. "Oh crap! I am going to be late for work, love you got to get out now!" He ran to the door and was barely able to kiss Rainbow, "I hope he realizes that his watch is an hour late," said Rainbow. One second later she saw him walk through the door with a face of pure embarrassment. 9 am: Axis was in front of the Apple family farm, he is an accountant for them, though sometimes he help the family with labor, it is how he stays fit after he left the military. Anyway he walked to a small shack, it's not very big, though it is bigger then most people's first apartments. He placed his thumb on the scanner, after a second of scanning the door unlocked and he entered. The room looked great, the wallpaper was strips of red and green, there was a small sofa to the right of the room, in the back middle there was a nice solid oak desk, it had three monitors on it along with assorted papers and Pokemon figures littered his desk. The floor was carpeted red, there was one window over his desk, it had apple drapes on it. He took a seat in his Fluttershy approved chair of cloth, it had arm rests and it was also red, though a very dark red. As he turned on his monitors he looked in his drawer, all that was in it was a SIG Saucer P229 MK25 service pistol (that is a real gun look it up). He picked up the gun and examined it, after a second he put it back and closed the drawer, just then Applejack walked in and asked. "Hey pardner, anything we need ta know?" He handed her a binder of paper, "there is no real change in the balance of the budget, we are even above average!" She looked at him and replied, "really? That is very good ta hear, keep up the good work," he nodded and started to type until she asked. "Is everything alright with you?" He replied. "Of course, why?" She fiddled with her hat, "Rainbow told me you have been having trouble sleeping, something about nightmares, care to enlighten me?" He leaned back and groaned, "Applejack, I am alright, I have just been having old war dreams, god that was the worst time in my entire life." She was starting to get curios. "What happened sugar cube?" He sat up and replied, "well, have you ever carried someone dying to a medic tent and have them die on your back from bullets that should of killed you, or lost your hoofs and bled for half an hour with barely any help. Or even saw all of your friends die in front of your eyes?!" She shock her head no. "Then you can't understand what me AND all ex marines from the battle of Russia, also known as the bloodiest battle in human history, have been through. I hate to talk about my service, not even Dashy knows a lot about it and I married her, can we please drop the subject and let me get back to work?" She nodded and left. 4 pm: Axis was walking with Applejack to Twilight's castle for dinner, Rainbow Dash was going to meet him there, Applejack was worried about what happened that morning. It was about to become dusk, they were on the path to the castle. Applejack asked him, "pardner, ya alright from what happened this morning?" He looked at her and replied. "Of course I am, I was just needing some coffee, I am alright now and I am a lot less touchy about my past, though I still don't want to talk about it I am okay to answer a question about it from time to time, you just put a lot on me at the worst time. We are all good." She smiled as they reached the castle door. He opened the door and they walked in. After a minute or two of walking through the castle Applejack and Axis opened the door to the dining room, there were the rest of the mane 6 along with Shining Armor, Princess Cadence, and Starlight Glimmer. Rainbow Dash flew to him, he gave her a peck on the cheek and walked to his seat, he was next to Pinkie Pie and Rainbow. Twilight started the conversation, "now that we are all here I would like to welcome Shining and Cadence to Ponyville, oh where is my little niece?" (it's going to be a girl I just know it!) Cadence replied, "thank you Twilight, we are very glad to be here, and we decided to take a small vacation just for us." Shining asked, "so how are you all doing?" They all pretty much said that they were having a good day. But Rainbow Dash said, "actually I am very tired," Cadence looked at her and asked. "Why?" She looked at Axis who was blushing a bit, "he keeps having dreams about his past and it wakes me up, I don't mind. Even though I wish he would tell me about it." She said smiling. "wait, what kind of dreams are they?" Asked Cadence, Shining bumped her side and tried to whisper, though everypony could still hear, "human soldiers don't like to talk about their pasts, remember reading about the aliens that attacked them?" Cadence realized what she asked, Axis replied, "it is true, we humans don't like to talk about the war of Earth. Especially the attack in Russia, hell! That is where I lost my feet!" Shining and Cadence looked at him, Shining asked. "Wait you have fake feet?" He put his right foot on the table and pulled it off, Shining and Cadence were surprised by that. "That is pretty cool," said Cadence, Axis sat straight up. "You think it's cool to not ever feel your feet again, or in you case hoofs? It's not, I gave them up for humanity before joining the walker program. I hate these feet and I dream about being able to run again, or even getting up without help from Rainbow. As much as I like Dashy's help, I feel weak, trust me it's not fun nor would you want any kind of prosthetic, ask my brother," said Axis. They all looked him, Rainbow laid her head on his shoulder, Rarity said. "Darling we had no idea it was that bad, we're sorry for bringing it up." Axis smiled and replied. "Thanks, it was just a really bad and painful time in my life, now, what else are we going to talk about?" 6 pm: Rainbow Dash was flying with Axis towards their cloud home, it was getting pretty dark, though there was just a enough light for the lamps to stay off, he was walking very slowly because of hi-, "don't you say it you b***h!" Oh, sorry Pinkie, anyway. They were almost to the house, Rainbow was feeling a little bit sad for him, she did just find out how weak he feels and she really wants to help him. Axis is still on edge, though as long as she doesn't ask they won't argu-" so what exactly do you wake up from, I mean which battle?" Really Rainbow?! Really? "You know I hate to talk about it. I will talk when it hurts less, or when I don't wake up every night from it." Said Axis, Rainbow dipped her head a little bit, "I have to know what happened, I have been married to him for a year now, if he won't talk then I need to find a way. Wait he dreams the battles every night, I could get Luna to allow me and my friends into the dream, that could work. Though I need to ditch him for a little bit, I know what to do!" Thought Rainbow Dash, she grabbed his face and kissed him on the mouth. As any man would he grabbed her and pulled her to his chest and continued to make out not asking any questions. > Chapter 2: Entering his dream > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Time 9 pm Rainbow Dash's bed: You all maybe wondering, how did he get up there, he is a human. Well the answer is simple, she flew him up there. Anyway Axis was asleep while spooning Rainbow Dash, with anypony else she would fight them off, though he was her husband. She was pretending to be asleep , her eyes opened and she slowly made her way off the bed, he was hyper sensitive. As when was about to fly to Canterlot she thought for a second, "what if he wakes up, he will wonder where I am, I need to write a note." After writing a note basically saying she was at Twilight's castle because the she needed some help. She flew out of the house and towards Canterlot. The flight was less then 20 minutes, after she entered the city she looked around the castle and found Luna on her balcony watching over Equestria. She flew down to eye level, she was hovering while Luna was standing there, "welcome Rainbow Dash, what brings you to Canterlot?" She looks down and replies, "I really want to find out what Axis is dreaming about and you are the only pony who can help me find out." She had a slightly surprise look, "why do you want to know?" Rainbow replied, "because Axis is waking up at night with nightmares of his past, if I knew what they were I might be able to help him." Luna thought for a minute, "alright, I will help you, I can do it tomorrow?" Rainbow asked, "why can't you do it tonight?" She calmly replies, "because I have to watch little Lunarshine, my husband is coming back tomorrow. Then he will take care of Lunarshine for the night. Oh if I do what you say then please tell me about your plans for a family." Rainbow blushed something awful and said, "why?" Luna replied, "because I bet Celestia 2 bits that you want one and he doesn't. She says that he wants one and you don't." Rainbow Dash thought about it for a minute, "I really want a little filly, but he is still hesitant on it. Though I am close to talking him into it." Luna was about to jump up until she heard, "whaaaa, whaaaaa!" Luna looked back to her room. "Lunarshine is awake, sorry to cut this short, but if I don't quiet him Celestia will be very grouchy so I bit the farewell." She started to walk towards her room until Rainbow asked, "um Luna, I don't think I have ever seen Lunarshine, could I see him?" Luna looked over her shoulder at her, "of course you can, come on." Said Luna, Rainbow Dash landed and walked into her room, on the left was her bed as seen on season 5 episode 13. Though on the right was a crib, it was dark blue with a night time pattern on it, hanging above the crib was a mobile of stars, it also had a mini Luna and Celestia on it. Rainbow Dash walked a little bit in, Luna walked next to the crib and used her magic to pick up Lunarshine. She laid his head on her shoulder, though still holding him mainly with her magic. She walked over to Rainbow and showed the baby to her, it looked like a human, except he had a horn and wings. It was white, it's green eyes looked directly at Rainbow making her daw a little bit. "He looks adorable, sigh. I do want a filly, though I don't want to make him want one, thank you, I gotta get back to Ponyville if I am to get any rest, bye Luna." Said Rainbow, she flew off to Ponyville before Luna could say anything. 8 am Rainbow Dash's house: She was waking up, she is used to him being next to her, though she looked at the bedside clock and it said it was 8:15. Which means he just left for work. Rainbow called up all her friends to meet her at Twilight's castle, of course they all agreed. After getting a shower and some breakfast in she quickly flew over to Twilight's castle. As she entered the map room she saw all of her friends in their seats and Shining Armor and Cadence were standing next to Twilight. Rainbow sat down on her chair, "so Rainbow, why did you call us all here?" Asked Twilight, Rarity said, "I was having a nice spa day with Fluttershy here, why?" Rainbow replied, "well, hehe. You see I want to enter Axis's nightmares," they all looked surprised. "Why would want to go into his dreams, from what we heard they were awful," said Starlight. "Now sugarcube wha made ya want ta go into his dreams?" Rainbow calmly replied everything about his nightmare, Luna, and how she thinks she can help him. One long rant later. They all looked at her, she hadn't been this way since Tank had his first hibernation, "well, I think we can come with you Rainbow. " Said Twilight, Starlight said, "you're right Twilight, I think we should help Rainbow, what do the rest of you think?" Applejack replied, "well pardner, you can count on me." Pinkie Pie replied, "it sounds fun, covert ops, totally awesome!" Fluttershy quietly said, "w-w-well I am com-ming to-o." Rainbow smiled, "may we join you all?" Asked Cadence, Rainbow replied. "Of course you two can." 10 pm: Tonight was Friday, that meant Axis would be staying up until 3 am, but Rainbow decided to hurry things along. Basically 2 hours of s*x he fell asleep. Rainbow was downstairs calling up her friends telling them to come now. After about 10 minutes they all were just outside the bedroom door, Luna quietly said, "so, we go in and I put all of you into his dream?" They all nodded, Rainbow quietly said, "alright it should be okay to go in now." As they came through the door they all saw him wearing nothing, except some underwear, he didn't even have his prosthetic feet on. It actually startled a few of them, Luna's horn glowed white and a bunch of white tentacles that touched their heads, in a second they all fell to the ground asleep and in Axis's dream. > Chapter 3: Learning about the battle of Russia > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Axis's dream: the group open their eyes to a battlefield, it was covered with pieces of fallen aircraft, sand bags, and a whole lot of bodies. The ground was covered in snow, the sky was dark and cloudy. Rarity was about to say something, but Luna stopped her and said. "Hold on, if any of you talk it will wake him up, screaming and crying are okay. Trust me I have done this for a long time." They looked behind them and saw a passed out teenager Axis with both of his feet, a marine ran to the unconscious Axis and shouted, "WAKE UP PRIVATE AND GET OUT THERE!" Axis woke up and replied, "sir yes, sorry sir!" he jumped to his feet and picked up his gun, it was an mk15 assault riffle, fully automatic. Axis jumped over the sandbags and started to fire at a lone alien. He fired three shots killing it, he looked up and saw one of the missiles coming right on his position, he shouted, "MISSILE!" And ducked to the nearest rock, it barely missed him and with his shout three other soldiers got out of the way. He looked from the side of the rock for any aliens, there was one, a field captain, he grabbed his only grenade and pulled the pin. He waited a second and threw it at the alien, it didn't even see the grenade until pow. One explosion later it was just a blood splatter. Axis was about to charge the group of spitters until he heard, " HELP! MY LEGS ARE GONE, HELP!" He ran towards the down marine, she had blood stained on her face, he legs were gone, "hey! I am going to try to get you to the medic tent! Grab my back!" She grabbed his back and he was pigging her back to the med tent. They were starting to be impressed with him, though Fluttershy is pretty much in shock. Until one of the soldiers shouted, "ALIEN JET, DUCK FOR COVER!" Axis looked and there one was, it was to fast to id, but he did drop to the ground. They heard the bullets hit the ground next to him and coming towards him, one second of ducking he heard the ship fly away to re arm, he asked, "you okay!?" He heard nothing so he looked at her, turns out that she took all the bullets and died on his back. They were stunned, Axis swung her off and crawled to the nearest sandbag cover, he was now panicking. "BADA*S INCOMING!" He looked and saw the biggest field alien on the battlefield. It pointed it at Axis, "oh s**t!" It fired. the sheet of plane blocked the bullets, but he couldn't move, he yelled, "BADA*S HELP, HELP I AM PINNED, SOMEONE HELP ME!!!!!" Though the only soldiers that came were shot, he looked to his side and saw a dead body of one of his comrades. He looked closer at the body and saw a grenade. He pulled off the body, he took his mp15 and fired it while throwing the grenade through a small hole in the sheet. It hit the bada*s and before it could react it exploded killing it. They heard him and a few soldiers cheering. Until they heard a random soldier yell, "RETREAT! RETREAT! THAT IS AN ORDE-" he was shot down. The soldiers started to fallback, though Axis closed his eyes for a second and charged the alien line. He fired the rest of his clip at a cluster of aliens killing and wounding all of them. He ducked to a sandbag cover and reloaded. They heard a marine shout, "HELP!" Axis looked around and saw a guy being pinned down by three field captains. He thought for a second, what he did was run into the aliens and clean the clip, he fired 30 bullets at them killing the capts. Axis ran over to the down marine, he was about 6 foot, he had blood coming out of his gut, Luna stopped the dream and looked him. After a second she jumped back a bit, Twilight asked, "w-whats wrong Luna?" She replied, "that is my husband!" They all just stared at the two, Rainbow asked, "wait since you two talked why isn't he waking up?" Luna replied, "because when I stop a dream his subconscious is halted, meaning he is still asleep, and not able to hear us." They were all satisfied with her answer. She resumed the dream keeping an eye on her future husband, "sir, private Axis, I will get you outta here!" As he was picking up her husband he said in one of the toughest voices, "no, there is a medic coming, keep the fire on, keep them from fleeing. If someone charges the line the rest will do the same. Just take out the tank!" He looked at a giant tank, it was bright red, it's hull was curved and looked like a halo Covenant wraith. Axis charged a small group of spitters and fired the reloaded gun, he fired 10 bullets killing them. Other troops began to give him more cover fire as he took cover behind a fallen bada*s, Axis was right next to the tank, it had two big guns firing upon the sky destroying all human crafts, it also had a giant barrel that was holding all the human vehicles back. Axis grabbed an alien grenade and charged the tank, it had no guns guarding it, Axis climbed on it and shouted into the barrel, "HEY B******S! EAT THIS!" He threw a grenade into the barrel and ran to the nearest cover. It blew up into a lot of pieces, Axis yelled into his mic, "tank destroyed, I repeat tank destroyed, send the tanks and planes in!" As he got confidence Axis ran towards a captain, until he saw it throw a glowing line, it grabbed his feet making him fall to the ground and roll to the sandbags. It was melting the flesh between his legs and feet. He was screaming, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, MEDIC, I NEED A F**KING MEDIC AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH HELP, HELP ANYONE!" He saw a few guys try to get him. Though they got shot instead. Axis's head laid back as he began to accept it, until he heard, "I'M COMING SOLDIER, HOLD ON!" He opened his eyes and saw a field medic running towards him, "oh god, these things are tough, I need to get you to the medic ten- HEY! STAY WITH ME!" Axis began to pass out from blood loss, the line cut his feet and was releasing a toxin into his blood, all it does it hurt. and kill after a few hours if not treated. Rainbow Dash was on the brink of tears, everypony else was just staring in shock, Axis closed his eyes and the dream faded. Meaning he died. Luna said, "what happened? That has never happened!" Twilight was about to say something, though another dream began form, it was a tent full of medics trying to revive him. As he opened his eyes in the dream one of the doctors said, "back from the dead! A full 10 minutes, damn it, here's your twenty." He handed the money to a nurse, "w-what h-h-happene-ed?" The doctor took off the surgery mask, "you died, but we brought you back. You have just beat the world record for time dead, anyway, thanks to you destroying the tank the military sent reinforcements, twice what we started with. We won." Said the doctor, "y-yay!" Said Axis, "now, now, get some rest, we got other soldiers to tend to, but well done private." Axis smiled. As his eyes closed the dream ended, they all woke up, except for Axis. They quietly, but quickly got out, that night none of them got any rest, especially Rainbow Dash who had to sleep with him knowing the horrors of his past. > Chapter 4: More about his past > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- it has been a week since they entered his dream, Rainbow wanted to know just a bit more about the past, there was about 3 years between the battle, and them meeting. Rainbow and Applejack were about to go to Manehattan to see Coloratura and her husband Noel. Also known as Axis's younger brother, by about 2 minutes according to their Mom. Anyway Rainbow was at the trainstation with Applejack and Axis, Axis was saying his goodbyes. "I can't believe the map called you two to Manehattan, hasn't Applejack fixed a problem there before?" Applejack was about to reply, though Rainbow said, "she did, though she needs to do it again, don't worry we will be safe." Axis hugged her as she hugged him back. After a second the conductor shouted, "ALL ABOARD!" They stopped hugging as she got onto the train, as it was departing he shouted, " TEXT ME WHEN YOU GET THERE!" Applejack and Rainbow found a seat unoccupied and sat in it. Applejack said, "ah can't believe you lied to him, hope he doesn't find out." Rainbow replied, "if he does we can out walk him," they started to smirk. 1 trip and a lot of gossip later: Rainbow Dash and Applejack walk out onto the busy streets of Manehattan, ponies were everywhere, lots of noise and tons constructions from the humans. Rainbow Dash asked, "do you know where she lives?" Applejack replied, "ah sure do sugarcube, come on." After about 20 minutes of walking and flying over some crowds they reached the hospital, "do they live here?" Applejack laughed a bit and replied, "of course not, Noel has to have physical therapy here at about once a week." Rainbow Dash and Applejack entered the hospital, it was very nice, the wait room wasn't very full for once, the nurse at the counter was red with a white mane, her cutie mark is the human medical sign (if that is anyone's Oc please tell me, and I am sorry if it is). They walked up to her, Rainbow Dash asked, "excuse me? But do you know where Coloratura and her husband are? We are her friends." She looked at them and replied, "of course, they are in the physical therapy wing, take a right, two lefts, another right, head straight and it'll be right there." They thanked her and made their way to them. Some walking later they ran into the therapy wing, there was the left side which was mental therapy, the right physical, of course they went to the right. After all there were a lot of ponies there looking like fans of Rara, Rainbow asked, "do you think they will have the time to see us, and maybe an autograph or two?" Applejack replied, "of course they do, I am her friend." They made their way past the small crowd of ponies and saw her, she was wearing the same outfit that was used during the concert (you know the one) and right outside the door to a room. She saw Rainbow and Applejack, she said, "I will be back in a few minutes, hoofsies." (forgive me if I misspelled it ) She walked over to them, "hello, what brings you two to Manehattan, was it the map?" Rainbow Dash replied, "actually we are here to see your husband, I have a few questions about what happened with Axis, could we see him?" She giggled a bit, "of course you can, he is behind this door, come on." They were happy. As she opened the door they saw a man, he had no legs, nor arms, and robot eyes. He was sitting, Rara asked, "hey honey, remember Rainbow Dash, the mare who married your brother?" He looked at them and smiled, "well ah'll be, hold on the doctors are getting me the next line of prosthetic's, triple the speed of the previous model." As he finished a unicorn doctor walked in with some robot arms, and legs, all that was needed to do was slide them into the sockets. The doctor said, "okay Noel, as usual you know to take it slow." He got up, he fell down and hit his head, though he didn't even show the pain. Rara helped get him up, "so, why are you two here?" Asked Noel, "actually the reason is that I want to know a little bit more about the war after the battle of Russia," said Rainbow. Noel stood up straight and looked at her, "I-I-I can't-t, what they d-d-did to me, I can't!" He started to cry. Rara was next to him wiping some of his tears off, "alright, I guess it's been long enough, I will tell you what I can about him and the mech walkers." Rainbow and Applejack got interested, "after the battle of Russia the military saw my brother as a good soldier, so they recruited him for the walker program. You all know the robot suits that all our soldier's drive right?" They nodded, "well he commanded the first squad of them, we were called the Titans. Now all I know of him during those times was that he was vicious in battle. And unstoppable when it came to drinking, I remember he one time beat three Russians at drinking, I loved that night." Rainbow replied, "wait, Axis doesn't drink, he said he hates beer," Noel laughed, "of course he stopped drinking once I was captured." Rainbow Dash and Applejack just stared at him, "what didn't I tell you two about how I was captured?" They shock their heads, "hmm, well I guess I can tell you. It was out 5th mission, we were checking out a small camp of the alien b***hs. Out of nowhere we were jumped, there were about 50 or so, we managed to kill most of them, but sadly one of them landed a grenade on my suit and blew it up, my legs were broken, I still don't know how I got out of the suit alive. The aliens took me kicking and screaming all the way, my squad tried to get me back, but there were just to many of them. I was stuck in their alien torcher room for 2 years, I was out right before the meeting of Equestria. They took my legs, arms, hearing, eyes, penis. Yes they cut it off, though I do now have a giant dildo where it was." Rara nodded with a big smirk, Rainbow and Applejack blushed, "back on topic! I don't know anything with what happened with him, we caught up on war stuff, family, and the treaty with Equestria, I for one was shocked. Soon I got a transfer to the Manehattan hospital so I could see these ponies for myself, shortly after that I met Rara, and now we're married, 2 years." Applejack asked, "darn, that is a lot of stuff yer havin to deal with. Thank you for the story." Rainbow Dash and Applejack left the hospital. > Chapter 5: Consequences > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- While Rainbow was gone Axis called one of his friends, or squadmate should I say. He was Luna's husband, aka the medic of his team, his name is Zack. They were going to originally going to talk in sugar cube corner, though they decided to meet up at Axis's house instead. We go to the flying transport that carried Twilight to Ponyville in the first episode. It was pulled by two pegasus royal guards, he was just chillin in the back sipping on a beer. He asked in one of the nicest tones you will ever hear, "why do I need you two to guard me? I don't mind, but I am going to a friend's house, just, why?" One of them replied, "sir, because you are a prince now, we can not let you get into trouble." He snickered a bit. "How can I get into trouble, I have 4 different mags strapped to me under my coat, along with two machine guns on the floor boards. Though I can and didn't question why I am being escorted to the house. But why do you two have to go in?" They looked at each other. "Because sir, he isn't trust worthy enough to leave you alone with, he is a high profile killer, and he is a marine. They don't know anything besides killing and drinking." He stiffened up, put down his beer and told them. "Listen closely, you both know me pretty well, nice guy, good husband, and I give out pretty decent vacations right, also please stop calling me sir, I never liked that. It makes me feel above everybody else, that ain't a bad thing, it's just not what I really like." They had to process that for a bit, one replied, "you do si- um, Zack, but what does that have to do with him or marines?" He replied, "I WAS a marine, 6 years, so was he. He saved my life before we knew each other, he basically killed himself more times then I can say, somehow he survives them. But we we're part of the first squad of walkers to come out. We won the war together, he even lost one of nuts for me, true he USED to be a tripod, but he still lost one to keep me alive. I would trust him with my life, hell, I would trust him with my son if it came down to it." the guards were speechless, all they could sputter was, "w-w-we're he-ere." He sat back and finished his beer. After landing on the cloud Zack paid them a couple hundred to leave him alone with Axis until it was time to go back to Canterlot. As he knocked on the cloud door, it barely made a sound, Axis asked, "who is it?" Zack replied, the pizza boy." He heard footsteps and Axis opened the door, all he could say was, "where's the damn pizza?!" Zack laughed. "Come on in dude, want a beer?" He replied, "nah, I would though I wanna go home decently sober, I have already had two, got any Dr. Pepper?" Axis laughed a bit and replied, "my man, anything new with the old team?" Zack replied, "oh I have a s**t tone of stuff, just bring out the secret food." Axis starred at him for a second, "dude, if Rainbow knows I have this she will flip, she put me on a f**king diet. If she finds out you will go down, it's right over here." He opened a dusty drawer and pulled out two bags of BEEF jerky, "my man, okay get this. Celestia and Rick have been banging for a few months now." Axis dropped the bag of jerky, "shut up. I thought he was gay!" Zack laughed, "nope, he was just weird, oh Elsa's son has a crush on Shining Armor and Cadence's daughter." Axis laughed a bit, "why are you laughing bro?" He replied, "I knew about that, she is my big sister after all, I read about it in our monthly chat." "Oh, well this one will stump you, Rainbow, the elements, Luna, and Shining and Cadence jumped into your dream to see what was going on in there." Axis was literally frozen. "She what?" He replied, "ya, I will need to buy a bottle of wine for Luna, I forgot I promised her I wouldn't talk, oh sorry dude, you did need to know though." Just as he finishes Rainbow Dash walked through the door, "it's good to see you again honey, oh I forgot Zack was coming over today, i'll leave you two be." Axis walks over to her and says, "you invaded my personal dream privacy without my permission! What the hell Dashy?!" She whispered under her breath a bit. "I am so sorry Rainbow, um, I, um," he picks up his phone and calls the guards, "I have a code 3 please assist!" Axis asks, "wait, this is only number 3, what is the first two?" He replied, "well the first is if Luna has any kind of serious injury, the second is if Celestia goes on one of her gambling trips and we have to wipe everypony of their memories." Rainbow says, "so that's why I can't remember that bit of the honeymoon!" He blushed. All of a sudden the two royal guards fly through the clouds pulling the chariot as Zack hops in and shouts, "I'll pay for this later!" He disappears right after. Axis runs to the opening and shouts, "it's cloud! It will reform on it's own for free!" He turns to Rainbow, "you betrayed my trust, just because you think it will help doesn't mean it will, now I am going to go to a bar and get drunk. Don't wait up for me." He grabs his ball cap and leaves the house with a sad Rainbow sitting there wallowing in sadness.
