> The Captain > by darius the brony > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1: A new life > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Captain is currently standing in an unfamiliar forest with nothing but his standard uniform. He has no idea how or when he got there. All he remembers is getting a tooth with silver filling (which he had politely supplied) punched into his chest and falling onto the ground and blacking out. He couldn't even remember that witty remark that strange French familiar made. He then began to wonder what had become of the major in his absence. Hopefully he had given enough time for the Major to witness the defeat of Alucard. He also wondered what had become of the Butler that they had managed to turn. Probably dead most likely, not a lot of beings in the world are able to defeat Alucard. Hopefully by the end all that the Major will have been satisfied and all of London in ruins. The Captain then began to slowly make his way through the forest, trying to figure out where he is and how he got there. "Perhaps this is the afterlife", he thought, but if this is the afterlife then what is he suppose to be in. Can't be Heaven because if it were then were are the angels and/or god here to meet, surely they wouldn't leave him hanging like this. Can't be Hell because as far as he knew he is not burning in Hell fire at the moment and there are no demons for him to meet. As the Captain made his way through the forest his super hearing began to pick up movements in the bushes near him. The Captain then went into a dead stop and eyed the bushes with interest, waiting for whatever was in it to reveal itself. Suddenly he heard a low growl and out of the bushes came one of the most bizarre creatures he had ever seen (and coming from a werewolf like him, that means a lot). it had the body of a lion only much more larger, but also had a scorpion tale.It surely looked one of the doctors experiments. By the way,what had become of the doctor anyway? "Maybe I am in hell", the Captain thought as the strange creature took an aggressive stance. judging from it's posture and the hungry look in it's eyes, it was obvious to the Captain that this demon wanted to make him it's latest meal and took a defensive posture to defend himself. Due to his training the Captain new better to engage in close-quarter combat with a creature he has no idea is capable of, it could a be creature that explodes on contact for all he knew. "I should test how durable this creature is first before engaging,"the Captain thought. So in one swift motion he took out one of his modified Mauser C96s (which he conveniently had on him) and fired a round into it's head. He expected the creature to shrug off the bullet like it was nothing. He expected the creature to have unbelievable speed and easily dodge the shot. He never expected one hells demon spawn to have it's brains sprawled all over the bushes, trees and grass and drop to the ground dead. "A lucky shot," The Captain thought as he looked at the now dead corpse in amazement. This is one the beast damned souls are suppose to meet in hell? This has all but confirmed he is not hell because if was hell then why are the creatures so weak? Why does his heighten sense still work? Why does he still have his weapons? however if this is not hell then where could he possibly be. Seeing no point in thinking about any longer he decided to continue through the forest. Hopefully he will either find civilization (hopefully one that requires his service, he really would want a purpose now that he is free from the major) or a way out of this forest. Just because he could easily take on these creature doesn't mean he wants to run into anymore. ....................................................... It was another beautiful day in the town of Ponyville. The Sun was shining in the sky and weather is scheduled to be a clear day. It was indeed a perfect day for physical activities such as picnics, training exercises for those fouls looking to join the wonderbolts one day, or they could stay at home all day indoors with nothing to do such as what the cutie mark crusaders were. Ever since they found there cutie marks months ago they didn't really have much motivation to do anything anymore and today they decided to just hangout at the club house and do basically nothing. "I am soooooo bored, I wish something exciting wou-," before Scootaloo could finish that sentence they all heard a loud pop. "What was that?!," Sweetie Belle exclaimed looking into the direction she heard that loud pop sound. "Ah think it came from the Everfree forest" Applebloom said worried as she started to shake. "Well that is a bad sign if it came from the Everfree forest," Sweetie Belle said. "Should we go tell somepony?". "Yeah ah think that's a good idea," Scootaloo agreed. As the Crusaders exited the tree house, Appleblooms dog Winona started to growl towards the Everfree forest, startling the fillies. "What wrong Winona,?" asked Applebloom as she patted Winona on the head to see what's wrong. "Winona what's the matter, who ya growling at?". "what's wrong with her?" asked Scootaloo. "Ah don't know, usually when she growls like this she se-" but before Applebloom could finish that sentence Winona started to bark loudly at the Everfree forest, once again startling the fillies. Applebloom started to get scared for her dog. "Winona what's-" Applebloom is again interrupted when Winona began running towards the forest, to the dismay of Applebloom. "Winona where are you going!?,"shouted Applebloom galloped after Winona. "Applebloom wait!," shouted Sweetie Belle as she galloped after Applebloom. "We need to get your sister Applejack first." "Celestia danget!" Scootaloo groaned as she galloped after the 3, hoping nothing bad was gonna happen. "I did wish for something exciting to happen after all." ...................................... It was usual business in the Conterlot palace. Princess Celestia was currently seated on her throne, listening to one of the nobles complain about the Conterlot children playing on his lawn. So yeah business as usual. "And then one of the colts called me a dried old blueberry" complained the Noble. "mhm" said Celestia,only half listening to the noble moan about his problem. It was only through centuries of experience and rigorous training that she is able to half listen but look like he has her undivided attention. "Then one of the colts had the nerve to stick their tongue at me!. I have never been more disrespected in my entire life!!" exclaimed the noble. "mhm" moaned Celestia. "I demand that-" however before he could finish that sentence Luna came threw the doors into the throne room. Thank mother Gaia thought Celestia, thankful that Luna interrupted this nobles rambling. "Sister we have urgent news that require thine attention!" shouted Luna. The noble was taken aback by the rude interruption. "um excuse me princess Luna but before your rude interruption we were in the middle of a discussion," explained the Noble. Luna then slowly turned around and flashed a glare that clearly said Get your flank out here. The noble then backed away "uh.... o-or perhaps we can continue this discussion later" stuttered with fear in his voice. Luna then grinned "yes, we think that may be best". As soon as they were alone Princess Celestia then spoke. "Luna, it is good to see you. Not to be rube but what is it that you came to see me for?," Celestia asked. "Sister, in our slumber we sensed an disturbance that we have never sensed before," explained Luna. "oh dear, that is worrisome. Are you sure Luna?". Celestia said as she stood up and trotted over to Luna. "Yes we are correct sister and we also believe that it came from the Everfree forest," explained Luna. Celestia then grinned "oh Luna, I'm sure it's nothing. Remember this certainly isn't the first time you sensed a disturbance" said Celestia. Luna sighed. Her Sister was indeed correct this wasn't the first time. She still remember that one time she sensed a disturbance, but that was because she realized that she was running late for night court, or that one time she sensed a disturbance she was just really hungry and her devotion to her subjects just distracted her. "sigh, I guess thou art right sister". Celestia then gave her a reassuring smile. "tell you what, how about I have Twilight be on the look out for anything strange coming out of the Everfree forest,?" said Celestia. "it's better to be safe then sorry". "Yes, we thank that would be best," luna said. She giggled "yes, I do appear to be overreacting, we are sure it is nothing". Celestia grinned "has anypony ever told you how cute your giggle is?". Luna blushed. "Come on how about you go on back to bed and let me handle all this," reassured Celestia. "Very well, good day dear Sister" luna said as she trotted out of the throne room. As soon as luna was out of the throne, Celestia went back up to her throne. "Yes, I am sure it is nothing," Celestia thought. ............................................. "Winona!! please we have gone deep enough" Applebloom shouted as she followed her deep into the forest. She had been following Winona for 3 minutes and she was already too deep into the forest. just as she was about to stop from exhaustion Winona finally stopped. "pant pant pant now what is the matter girl" Applebloom said gasping for air. "Hey!! Applebloom" shouted Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo as they galloped to Applebloom. "oh hey girls, ah didn't know ya'll were followin us" said Applebloom. "Well we couldn't let our best friend go into the Everfree forest alone now would we?" exclaimed Scootaloo. "Now did you find out what wrong with her?" Applebloom shook her head "no, she just stopped all of a sudden. she seems ok now". She patted Winona on head. "Well them come on, I don't want to be in here for too long, it's almost night time" said Sweetie belle. "Yeah let's go" said Applebloom. As Applebloom turned to leave she came face to face with a timberwolf causing the fillies to stop dead in their tracks. .................................................... The Captain was still walking through the forest still thinking about the many theories of how and why his here when he heard a loud girlish scream. He looked towards where the scream came from and thought "if there is a scream then there are people" and rocketed towards it in blinding speed. ` .......................................................... "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Screamed the fillies as they galloped from the timberwolves through forest followed by Winona. They have been galloping for their lives for a while now and they are starting to get tired. As they were galloping 3 more timberwolfs jumped in front of them, making them come to a dead stop. Now surrounded, the fillies huddled up against each with Winona, who is growling at the timberwolfs warning them to stay away. "What do we do" screeched Sweetie Belle that is starting to form tears around her eyes, beginning to sense the end and held on to Scootaloo for dear life. "What can we do" said Applebloom as she held onto Winona as she cried into her chest. She could not believe she was going to die like this, and she just got her cutie mark. Plus she never got to say good bye to Applejack, and finding that her sister got mauled by Timberwolves would just crush her. As the Timberwolves circled the fillies, getting ready to strike, the fillies then hugged each other and started saying their goodbyes. "Well girls I guess this is it, I just want ya'll to know that ya'll were the best group of friends I will ever have" said Applebloom. "Me two, I wouldn't have it any other way with you girls, I would trade my chances getting into the Wunderbolts for you girls any day" said Scootaloo. "Oh Scootaloo how thoughtful, and you would have been a great Wunderbolt" reassured Sweetie Belle nuzzling Scootaloo "and Applebloom I want you to know that your sister would have been proud of you." "Thanks sweetie belle" said Applebloom. The Timberwolves then stopped and readied to pounce on the fillies. The fillies braced themselves. A Timberwolf then leaped at the fillies only for a strange long metal stick came out of nowhere and was stuck into it's mouth and then a very pop was heard and it's entire head exploded. It was so loud the fillies covered their ears. The fillies looked to where the long stick is coming from and saw the strangest creature they have ever seen, but before they could examine it any further it pointed it's long stick at the other timberwolves, then heard 5 more loud pops. The timberwolves heads all exploded. Fear had never been a foreign concept to the trio of fillies that now cling to one another before this strange creature towering over them. Even the fact their names were speckled with saliva and wood chips didn't seem to penetrate through their minds as they looked up and the creature before them looked back down at them as well. Piercing red eyes broke through the shadows of the night as the moon rose up behind him and instilled additional fear into the three fillies and the dog before him. The moon illuminating his towering figure and the long cylinder of metal that he held within his hand. The fillies continued to just stare at the being as it started back, neither willing to move a muscle, even Winona was barely moving a muscle. Sweetie belle was shaking like crazy, scared of what it might do next. Scootaloo was trying and failing to look not scared. Applebloom was looking at the being a mix of fear and curiosity, not knowing whether to be scared or relieved it saved them. Eventually Applebloom worked up the courage to speak. "uhh, hello?" said Applebloom. > Chapter 2: A weird first meeting > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Captain POV The Captain just continued to stare at the three scared little fillies, unsure of what to do at the moment. His original plan was to save whatever 'Humans' that were in trouble and have them help in figuring out where the hell his suppose to be, not find a bunch fillies. What really baffled him was how weird looking these fillies. They certainly didn't look like regular ponies he was familiar with and yet they had all the features: hooves, mane, tail, snout, everything. Their color was a little abnormal though, it's as if god decided that they weren't cute enough and colored in very bright colors. The Captains thoughts were interrupted when one of the little fillies decided to step forward and did something that for first time in his life actually surprised him; it spoke. "uhh, hello," the yellow with the bow said to him. Even though the Captain didn't show it, he was really surprised. What really surprised him was the weird American accent it was using, the kind of accent he would usually hear Americans do in those comedy shows he'd catch a glimpse of when he was on one of his missions. He thought that whoever was screaming was people that owned the 3 fillies. Putting two and two together those screams must have come from the 3 fillies. Perhaps he is in heaven? These ponies sure do look adorable, reminds him of the pet pony he loved very much when he was just a little kid. 'Oh Hans, I miss you so much,' the Captain thought, flashing back to when he use to play with pony all the time, thought of that pony as part of the family. That is until his bastard of father decided to sell him to the local merchant. His father claimed it was because their farm was very hard because of the great depression. That claim really started to look like bullcrap when they lost the farm 2 days later and then found his father dead on the streets from alcohol poisoning. He never saw Hans again. 'Oh Hans, I hope those Turkish merchants treated you right,' The Captain thought. ___________________________________________________ The Fillies Pov "What do you think it's thinking about doing," Sweetie Belle said. They have been sitting there staring at the strange creature for the last 3 minutes and it's really starting to unnerve them. "I hope it's not thinking about eating us," Scootaloo said. What really bothered her was how it was just standing there staring at them and the look in those red eyes didn't help. She couldn't really tell but it was almost as if it interested in them and them being food to the creature was very scary possibility. "Scootaloo don't give it any ideas," Sweetie Belle warned, shoving Scootaloo. "I was just being honest, I mean why else would it save us other then to save us for it's next meal" Scootaloo protested. Right as the two was about to argue, the creature stepped forward directly in front of Applebloom, silencing the fillies. The 2 fillies started to shake, fearful for what the creature it about to do to their friend. 'Oh Celestia, what was ah thinkin, Applebloom thought as she stared up at the huge bipedal being. She is too racked with fear to move a muscle, despite that desire to just run as far away as possible. The creature then moved it's claw over atop the fillies. Appleblooms eyes dilated into pinpricks and began to visibly shake, her breathing become uncontrolled fearing the worst. She prayed that what ever death that might befall the young filly was gonna be quick. Applebloom gasped air she didn't even know was holding when she felt the creature weird claw start scratch behind her ear. Her fears are all of the sudden washed away, in a trance from the Creatures touch. She then pushed her head against the creatures claw, fearful that it might stop, all while 2 fillies watched. "what do you think it's doing to Applebloom" Sweetie Belle asked. "I don't know. Applebloom seems to like it," Scootaloo answered, looking on curiously. "Well.... what do we do," Sweetie Belle asked. "I don't know," Scootaloo answered. She has never seen anything like this, this thing just saved from them from a bunch a timberwolves and not it seems to be scratching Appleblooms ear. This has truly been a weird day. Eventually the creature stopped petting Applebloom and stood back. Applebloom then went back to her friends. "What was it doing to you Applebloom?" Sweetie belle asked. "I don't know," Applebloom answered. She didn't know why but she kind of wanted him to continue doing whatever it was doing to her. "whatever it did was kind of nice," she said with a smile on her face. She then looked back at the creature, still standing where was staring at them. It was hard to gauge what it was thinking due to most it's face obscured by it's neck guard. "I think it's friendly," She added with a hopeful smile. "What makes you so sure" Scootaloo asked. She was still unsure if it wanted to eat them. What really unnerved her was how it was looking at them. Those piercing red eyes just continuing to stare at her, The moon Illuminating in the background didn't help either. Why does it have to be so scary though she thought. She unconsciously took a step backwards with a look of fear clearly plastered on her face. "Well it did save us from those timberwolves and didn't try to eat us yet," Sweetie Belle added. It did look really scary, especially with those eyes, yet it hasn't really done anything so far that was really threatening. It was just standing there after all. "Well.. I guess that is true" Scootaloo admitted. Still didn't change the fact it was scary though. "Well what do we do now? It's dark now an-" before she could finish the creature casually sidestepped to the right before a familiar rainbow blur came out of nowhere and past where the creature was originally standing. "what the-," Scootaloo was against cut off when she and other 2 fillies including the dog were surrounded by a purple aura and was lifted off the ground and was floated towards to familiar group of ponies running towards them. ___________________________________ The Captain POV The Captain watched as the 3 fillies and the dog were taken in a very weird purple aura and was floated to the ponies now appearing out of the bushes, and they were truly a sight to be behold. There were 2 unicorns (he guessed unicorns because of the horns), 2 regular ponies,1 zebra, and 2 ponies with wings (counting the one that later came back and descended in between the 2 unicorns), he decided to call them Pegasus. Another thing was worthy of note is most of them did seem happy to see them, expect the yellow one with wings and the other regular pony. The Yellow one with wings seemed to be attempting to hide behind it's mane with the most fearful look he has ever seen from these. The Pink pony was the complete opposite, who seemed pretty darn happy to see him, if he didn't know any better, he'd think that one wanted to that one was the weird pony of the group. The floating fillies and dog were then hovered behind the group of ponies. "Don't worry girls, your safe now," The purple unicorn said. The fillies were then onto the zebra's back. "Zecora, take these fillies back to your home and make sure they alright. Don't worry we will handle this," she added. "Wait this is not wha-" Applebloom was interrupted when Zecora started running into the forest followed by the dog. The group of ponies then took an offensive stance. His face is immediately covered in pink. He began to wonder why his face was covered in pink all of a sudden until he realized that the pink pony had shoved it's faced into his face. "Wow, what are you? I've never seen a creature you before. Are you a diamond dog? Are you a minotaur? A combination of both? ohhh your eyes are red and pretty, like a ruby cupcake. Do you want a cupcake? I like your hat can I wear it?" The pony was surrounded by a purple aura and was floated back to the group. "pinkie, stay away from it, it might be dangerous," The purple pony scolded. "Alright you overgrown monkey, Ah will teach you to mess with mah family," The orange pony sneered as charge at him. The Captain watched as she charged at him at full speed all the while contemplated what to do the pony. As soon as the pony was right in front of him it immediately did a 180 to the surprise to the Captain. He immediately realized what it was planning to do when it wound up it's hind legs so he sidestepped before they hit his chest and instead bucked the large tree that he was behind. He distanced himself from the pony. 'Those are some legs she has', The Captain thought as the tree shuck violently until it collapsed to the ground as the buck was too much for the buck. It would appear that the buck was too much for the pony as well as she fell onto her behind and messaged her legs. The Rainbow pony immediately dashed for Applejack, putting herself between him and the orange pony. "Dag Nab it, that is gonna hurt in the morning," She hissed in a mix of pain and frustration as she rubbed her legs. "Applejack, are you alright!?" The Rainbow pony asked worriedly. "Yeah, A'll be alright," the pony named Applejack assured Sure that Applejack was indeed alright, she turned to face him and narrowed her eyes. "Your gonna pay for that!" The Rainbow pony sneered, like it his fault that orange pony hurt herself. She flew at him full speed, far faster then orange pony. He simply sidestepped again. The pony then circled around attempted to tackle him again. The Captain wasn't in the mood for this type and simply grabbed her when she attempted to tackle her and place her in a sleeper hold. "Hey, let go me!!," demanded the pony. She then started flailing her hooves about in an attempt to break free. When she realized it wasn't do anything she starting biting his arms but to her dismay it appeared to not even faze him. she was truly in a tough spot. The Orange pony crawled to him and used her hooves to attempt pry it's arms open for rainbow dash to escape. Unfortunately for her he too strong. All of a sudden the pony that he had in a sleeper was gone including the orange pony. This caught the Captain completely by surprise and now convinced he should take these ponies more seriously as they may have more tricks up there sleeve. ____________________________________________ The Ponies Pov Twilight watched in utter horror as she her friend be chocked by this monster. Applejack crawled over to monster and attempted to pry the creature arms off but it was futile. She contemplated using he magic to pry Rainbow dash from it's arms but realized how dangerous it was as it had the chance of motivating the monster to tighten it's hold and likely break Rainbows neck. She needed to think of something before it too late, then it came to her. She can teleport rainbow dash out of it's grasp. She then aimed her horn at Rainbow dash teleported her and applejack behind them, to the surprise of the creature (at least she was sure it was surprised as she didn't want to look the creature in those red eyes of his). "Rainbow dash, Applejack; are you all alright?" She asked worriedly. Rainbow dash slowly got up rubbing her neck "cough cough yeah I'm alright, he just caught me by surprise Is all," Rainbow answered. "I'm fine two, though I wish I could say same thing about my legs" Applejack answered as she struggled to stand. She was immediately flanked by rarity and pinkie. "don't worry darling you're legs with fine," rarity said with hopeful smile. "yeah, you'll be back to partying on your 4 legs in no time," Pinkie said enthusiastically. Twilight then turned to Fluttershy who was hiding in the bushes with her tail out. She then levitated her out of the bushes. "Fluttershy I need you to use the stare on the creature," Twilight asked. "I-I don't kn-know if I can," Fluttershy stuttered. "He is so scary," she added trying to go back into the bushes but being blocked by twilights magic. "Please Fluttershy, it's our only chance" Twilight pleaded. Fluttershy could see how desperate Twilight looked and knew she had to do something to save her friend. "signj o-ok, i'll try," Fluttershy said. Fluttershy slowly made her in front of the creature, making sure to distant herself where it won't hurt but where it can see her eyes. She was then flanked by her friends, rainbow dash and Twilight with assuring smiles on their faces. "Don't worry Fluttershy, your not alone," Twilight assured. "Yeah, we got your back," Rainbow dash enthusiastically assured. Fluttershy then felt a new wave of confidence shoot through. As long her friends were there with her then was no challenge she couldn't face. She then looked up and regretted it immediately. Fluttershy started to hyperventilate, wondering she didn't just stay home with her animals. She dashed for the bushes. "oh Fluttershy," twilight face hoofed. Then out of the forest came the cutie mark crusaders and Zecora. "Wait!!" yelled the fillies as they got themselves between the ponies and the creature. "There has been a misunderstandin" Applebloom yelled. > Results > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ponies POV "Girls what are you doing? Get away from him, he is dangerous!" Twilight desperately shouted looking preparing to levitate the girls away from the Monster when Applebloom spoke up. "No he ain't, he didn't do anything wrong," Shouted Applebloom. She then looked back at the creature who was just standing there watching. "Yeah, as a matter of fact he saved us from the Timberwolves," Sweetie belle said. Rarity's and Applejacks ears perked up at that. "That may be true girls but that doesn't change the fact that is dangerous." Twilight persisted. "Plus it was choking Rainbow dash," Twilight finished. Not knowing what this creature was and what it was planning scared Twilight, the fact that the creature has been silent this whole time. "Yeah because you all attacked for no reason," Applebloom argued back. Before anybody could continue 5 squadrons of heavily armored pagasi came from the sky and surrounded the whole group. Then came a group unicorns from out the bushes. "hold it right there creature," Shouted one of the Pegasus in a gruff voice whose different armor implied a superior. 3 Pegasi immediately came down on the 3 and carried them away from the creature. "Not again," Sweetie Belle pouted as they carried behind the group. A guard then approached the six mares. "Are all of you alright," asked the guard. "Yes sir, although 1 of our friends are hurt and can't stand on her hooves," Twilight said gesturing to Applejack currently to being held up by Rarity and Pinkie Pie. "We need help bringing her back to Ponyville so a doctor could if she is alright," Twilight said with concern. "Don't worry princess we have medical pony with us who will be able check up on her," The guard said before calling the medical pony over to them. After telling the pony what happened the medical pony to over to treat Applejack. "I hope you don't mind me asking, but what are you doing in the Everfree forest? I never told anyone we were gonna be here," Twilight asked curiously. Yes there some patrols near the Everfree forest but they never ventured into the Forest for fear they wound never return. "Celestia sent us. She said that there was talk of a disturbance here and sent us to be sure. While we were patrolling the area one of our patrols spotted you and others fighting the creature. He immediately sent out a distress signal and we all diverged to this location," The guard explained. Twilight both relieved and worried that they came. She was relieved that she got more help to contain the creature but she was also worried about what would come next. So far she and others have been unable to even faze him as a matter of fact she is unsure if the creature has even moved from the spot they found him in. With all these guards here, she wondered if that would motivate the creature to act more aggressive. She prayed that it wouldn't come to that. 4 pegasi who looked more physically capable then the rest and wearing different armor approached the creature slowly while it continued to just stare them. The stare the creature was giving to the guards was starting to unnerve some of the guard, although they did there best to not show it. As soon the guards were close enough one of them spoke. "Halt creature, as part of the elite royal guard to her majesty Princess Celestia and Luna, I demand that you surrender creature!" the Pegasus commander said in a demanding voice. He straightened himself up waiting for a reply. The Creature just stood there looking staring at the Guard pegasi like always. The ponies were starting to wonder if the creature could even understand equish. The Commander was really starting to get unnerved and impatient with the creature which just stood there. "Well creature," shouted the commander. It didn't even faze the Creature that continued to stare at him. This continued for another 50 seconds. Just when the commander was about to lose his patient the creature all of a sudden the creature lifted up it's arms and presented it's claws to the commander startling him and the other ponies around them. The guard readied their weapons, expecting the creature to make an aggressive move. 30 seconds later nothing happened. The commander looks at the creatures claws then remembered back to arresting a Minotaur and then putted two and two together. He then face hoofed and brought out his cuffs and cuffed him. Everypony sighed in relief, some releasing breathe they didn't even know they were holding, happy things didn't escalate. Seeing the some of the ponies that were known as heroes injured really didn't make look forward to confront the creature. "Alright, private send a message to Conterlot and inform them to send a caravan to our location in order transport a unknown creature!" The commander said pointing to one of ponies in the middle. That pony immediately took out a piece of paper, wrote the message, and sent the letter out via magic that is rarely known by unicorns alike. After that the commander turned to the other unicorns. "I need 4 ponies to keep over the creature and 2 unicorns to keep the Creature contained until the transport has arrived," The commander ordered. The two unicorns saluted and immediately put up a field around the creature while 4 ponies formed surrounded the creature spears pointed at it. While all this was going on Twilight was looking on in complete confusion. Why was this creature surrendering so easily to the guards. He as just easily dodging one of the fastest Pegasus in Equestria like nothing and nearly choked them out without effort and judging from body language it looked like it could to do more damage. What was going through the mind of this creature. ______________________________ The Captain POV The Captain was currently standing in front of a Pegasus Commander. He was preparing to flee from the six belligerent ponies before dozens of heavily armored ponies came out of nowhere surrounding him and carrying away the 3 little fillies that was about the deescalate the situation. After that the pony with the fanciest armor approached him and demanded his surrender. He was about to shove him over and prepared to defend himself until a thought came to him. What was he going to do after this. He wasn't even in this world for 1 day and already he was about to go to war with it, like a true Nazi. However he had no knowledge of this world so everything here was going to be a surprise. These ponies looked more stronger then the orange pony with Stetson hat so they were probably gonna be trouble. He has no knowledge of the magic they are using, despite encountering magic before this magic looked completely different then the magic he was use to. That and also he was curious about the rest of this world. So far he has seen nothing but the forest of this world and nothing else, and he didn't feel like fighting every time he wants to go sight seeing. He was also curious about these princesses named Celestia and Luna. Their names alone implies great power, and he is not talking about just political power. Perhaps he should surrender to these ponies, at least then he will be out of this forest and taken to authority figures who can sort this out. Seems like a good plans: surrender to the ponies, meet some authority figures who should be able to sort this out and determine how to proceed from there. Perhaps if things go as planned these princesses will have a purpose for this Nazi werewolf. > Chapter 4 Transportation > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Princess Celestia POV Princess Celestia is currently sitting atop her throne finishing today's paper work after she finished listening to the complaints of her subjects. Although their constant complaining could sometimes annoy her, it still made her happy that she is able to help her beloved subjects. In too many kingdoms across the land there are despotic dictators who wouldn't even listen to their subjects (some usually only listen to their subjects just to hear them scream). She couldn't even imagine what it would be like tyrants such Sombra was left to rule over the Crystal Empire, or even Tirek ruling over the entire world. Celestia shook her head after realizing she was upsetting herself these kinds of subjects. She wondered why she was always having thoughts like those sometimes, perhaps it was because of how close those events were to happening, if it wasn't for her former student Twilight. Celestia smiled after the thoughts of her former student came to her. There were no words to describe how proud Celestia was for her former student Twilight Sparkle or should she say Princess Twilight Sparkle. When she had first assigned Twilight Sparkle to studying magic in Ponyville, she had been a little worried about Twilight Sparkle learning nothing about friendship and having to return to Conterlot. She wouldn't realize how wrong she was until Twilight was able to free her sister from Nightmare moon's curse. Although Twilight would some need a little help such as her confrontation with Discord but in the end she would always pull through in the end. Even her sister Luna was impressed with her accomplishments, and you would usually have to crawl the tallest mountain Equestria, dive from it into the pits of Tarturus and then bust your way out to even get Luna interested in you. Celestia was very curious as what else Twilight could accomplish now that she is a princess. Princess Celestia's thoughts are interrupted when a scroll appears in front of her. Curious as to what is she grasp it with her magic, uncurls scroll and reads. Message to her majesty Princess Celestia It would appear that Princess Luna's suspicions of a disturbance in Everfree forest were correct as we have encountered a creature that appears out of this world who seemed to have been engaged in combat with the former elements of Harmony. Seeing the elements of harmony in trouble we immediately intervened and managed to get the creature away from the former elements of Harmony. Luckily excepted for one having damaged legs, they appeared to be good shape. After that we successful apprehended the creature, facing no resistance it whatsoever. An armed caravan has already left Conterlot for the Everfree to transport the creature to Conterlot for containment. I estimate the creature will be in Conterlot within 5 hours. Commander Hawk eye Princess Celestia looked over the note again and sighed, knowing the many Political headaches that will be coming out of this recent discovery. She was also curious as to what this creature was and what it looked like. She wished the commander had gone into more detail of what the creature looked like. The creature doesn't seem too hostile since it willingly gave itself up to her guards, although it seemed to have been fighting the elements. Well it didn't do any harmful damage to the them so if it is hostile then Princess Luna and herself shouldn't have no problem whatsoever subdue it. Princess Celestia then finished the rest of her paperwork,dismissed throne room guards for the day and went for Luna's quarters, knowing that Luna would want to hear the news that her suspicions were indeed correct. Hopefully the guards will know to be very discrete about transporting the alien all the way to Conterlot,wouldn't want to cause a panic. She should also right a letter to Twilight and her friends to keep quiet about the situation as well. Oh, this is surely gonna be interesting she thought as she trotted out of throne room. While she was worried about the potential threat to her ponies, she was also very excited about meeting the alien. _____________________________________________________ Caravan Pegasus guard Two Pegasus guards are currently in the air transporting an armored caravan to the Everfree forest. The two Pegasus were: Burst lightning, an blue female pegasus pony with a white mane and tail. She has a cutie mark of a lightning bolt exploding. She had accepted the mission because She was really bored and wanted to do something exciting rather standing around doing nothing. Although the fact that being there transporting is a potential alien did interest her, She was also very happy to be doing something other then staring at the wall for hours everyday. Also the trip carrying an large armored caravan to the Everfree forest and back would be a very good exercise for her wings. The other pony was Vertibird Thunder. He was a white Pegasus with a blonde mane and tail. He has a cutie mark of a bird flying. When was informed that he would be going on a mission to transport an alien to Conterlot, he was thrilled for the job. Ever since he was a little colt, he had always wanted to meet an alien. He would always read comic book about extraterrestrial aliens from space going to Equis and either try to conquer the world or befriend it. He always dreamed about meeting alien, befriending it and going on adventures together. They would call themselves "The Justice patrol", composing of Vertibird the Just, who would always serve justice with his spear of justice and ...... Alien the great who would serve justice with his laser gun. They would go around the world, solving mysteries, catching criminals, saving countries from ancient evil together, At least that is what he hoped how this would go. "Are you excited as I am?" Vertibird asked Burst lighting beside him with a very excited smile on there face. Burst turned to Vertibird. "Excited about what?" Burst asked curiously. Vertibird looked confused, did she not know what they were transporting? "What do you mean "Exited about what", the alien Bursts!" Vertibird exclaimed, shocked that Burst wouldn't remember that they would be meeting a real live alien. "Oh yeah that. Well i'm sure it's gonna be interesting," She said interestingly. This answer seems to have satisfied Vertibird as he make a goofy smile gesturing with his front hooves. "I am stoked about this. I've always wanted to meet an alien," He said nostalgically, remember the times he would play alien with his brother, and times they would always injure each other because his unicorn brother would always try to imitate a laser gun with his horn, which was pretty darn dangerous now that he thought about. However, he was still glad that his brother was as interested in aliens as he was. "Yeah well you better calm down when we get there, we don't want look like children in front of the commander and especially the alien," Burst said to Vertibird. She could understand why he was excited, heck she was excited as well to meet the alien, although she was better at showing it. It still was important to show professionalism in these kinds of situations, especially if the aliens turns out to be hostile towards them, Word of the alien fighting princess Twilight Sparkle and her friends was a little worrying. "Well I- oh look there they are," Vertibird said excitingly pointing to a large open field right beside the everfree forest. Burst looked to where he was pointing towards and saw a large group of ponies standing there in wait, waiting for them of course. She could also see another group of ponies surrounding an object she couldn't quite see clearly due to how far they were, must be the alien they were talking about. "Well here we go then," Vertibird said as they descended down towards the group. Vertibird was glad that they weren't in the everfree forest because trying to navigate a large heavy caravan through trees would have been ridiculous. As they made there way down the sight the creature began to get a little clearer. Vertibird was getting more excited already while burst as surprised to see some form of familiar clothing on the alien. Before they could see more the alien it's view is obscured when the commander and other guards steps in front of them. They all saluted. "Sir, the transport has arrived." Burst said in the usual guard voice. "Good, then let us not waste anymore time, private go over there and tell the unicorn handlers to bring the alien," said commander Hawk eye to the private. The private saluted and ran over towards where the creature is. Vertibird perked up hearing that they were using handler on the creature, which must mean they are using magic to contain the creature. She wondered if they had to bring them with them to Conterlot. Minutes later the creature began to emerge from the crowd of guards. _________________________________ Captain Pov I looked around me as the large crowd of ponies began to disperse to make way for a lone guard to make his towards me and the 6 unicorns that have in chains. A few hours ago they decided to put magical chains around me in order to contain. Obviously they didn't know about my history of breaking 'unbreakable' chains throughout my life, even now the chains around me feel as if i could break them easily by flexing my shoulders. However if it will give them a piece of mind then i guess i could play the 'capture alien' for now, After all that is how a certain person i use to know defeated his enemies. Give them a false sense of security then strike when they least expect, of course these ponies aren't his enemies, yet at least. These ponies may seem cute and weak, but there may be more then meets the eye, he should know this of course. "Alright get the alien to follow me, the caravan has arrived for pick up," said the the guard gesturing us to follow. The handlers then pushed my legs a little with their magic, obviously telling me to move. I obliged and followed the guard with the handlers following very closely. As we made our way through the guard of pony guards i couldn't help but listen in on the whispers of conversation happening the back of the crowd of guard, where they thought they couldn't be heard. "Whoa this is crazy, a real live alien, I wonder what gender it is" said one. The Captain couldn't help but chuckle at that. "I never thought this would happen in my lifetime." said another. Me neither pony, me neither. The rest were interesting. "Why are we bringing this creature to Conterlot were the princesses are, for all we know it could be planning something," said another pony. Smart pony, I am wondering the same thing. "We should kill the thing before it can harm anymore ponies," said a pony that sounded way to overzealous then it should. "You know for an alien that is concealed under all that clothing, it's face looks kinda cute," said a female guard. The Captain perked up at that comment. Thanks little pony, that was sure nice of you to say The Captain thought before that pony said something else. "I would sure love to see what else is under all that clothing," The female pony said in seductive voice. ............ The Captain had no comment to that and continued forward, after hearing some gasp coming from the ponies that were close enough to here. Eventually they were out of the crowd and into the open where he could see three pony. The one being the commander he encountered in the forest and the other two there seems to be strapped to what looks like a large black armored carriage. He guess that would be what he would be going in. As they got closer he started to notice something strange about one of them, the white one pony looked quite composed like the other guards and yet when i look into his eyes he seems about as excited as that pink pony i met earlier. When the commander noticed us coming he then went into one of the bags and pulled out a very strange looking rope from it. The rope looks as if it was glowing a very light green color. When we got to them he looked directly at me. "If you can understand what i am saying nod your head," The Commander said to the Captain. The Captain wondered why he would ask such a stupid question, hasn't obeying their commands they've been giving him enough evidence that he could understand what they say? He decided to not press the issue and nodded. The Commander sighed in relief. "Ok good, you six," He said to the six handlers. They immediately stood at attention while keeping horns channeled on the chains. "I want all of you to take this rope and rap this around his upper body around him. After that release your spells and stand by," he finished. They saluted and slowly rapped the rope around while the chains slowly evaporated. As they rapped the rope around me i began to notice a strange magical energy coming from the rope. The commander seemed to have been reading my thoughts and commented. "Your probably wondering what this rope is. Well it a special rope enchanted by Princess Celestia and her strongest unicorns. Not even Discord can break it," He said. Woooow, that would sound really amazing if I actually knew who these being are I deadpanned in my mind. After they were finished rapping the rope around me they immediately walked away towards the group of guards. The commander then spoke up. "Alright now here is what is going to happen. You are going to get into this armed caravan." The Commander pointed to the door of the carriage, like i didn't know what a door was. "and then your are going to be transported to Conterlot. When you get there a captain is gonna waiting there and he'll pick it up from there. is that understood," the commander finished looking dead into eyes. I simply nodded, he then narrowed his eyes. "Also don't think of escaping because a patrol in gonna following close by," He said in a serious tone. I ignored the warning and made my way to the door. The commander then looked at the two guards strapped to the carriage. "You two are to take the prisoner to Conterlot immediately, remember to be very discrete about it as well, we don't want the public panicking or any other nation thinking we are up to something." The Commander ordered. "I'm gonna stay here and search around some more to see if there is more aliens around," the commander "Yes sir," said the two guards in unison. > Chapter 5: a long trip > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Caravan guard POV Two Pegasus guard, along with a squadron of escort guard, are currently on there way to Canterlot with orders to drop off the alien on an military base on the side of the mountain overlooking the city (preferably away from public eye). Vertibird was currently staring at the alien sitting on one of the benches inside the carriage through the little window behind them in a happy trance while Burst was trying to keep the carriage straight due to Vertibird not looking where they were going, nearly making them crash into a mountain twice . Burst was really starting to get annoyed at Vertibirds intensive attention on the alien and not on the scheduled path to Canterlot, at first she thought it was cute how excited he was to see an alien for the time but now it was really starting to bug her, especially when they are on a mission right now. "Hey could you at least try to keep your eyes towards Canterlot and not on the alien," Burst said annoyingly. She catches a glimpse of the squadron commander behind them looking at them skeptically and cringed a little. "We wouldn't a certain somepony posting a complaint about out job performance to high command would we," She whispered to Vertibird still staring at the alien. "I can't help it, he just looks so cool," Vertibird squealed still staring at the the alien as it stared back at him with those red eyes of his, they were so awesome!! They look like something straight out of those edgy science fiction stories he would read sometimes when he was bored, which makes it even more awesome. Vertibird got curious of what it would do and decided to wave at it. It waved back. "OH MY CELESTIA, IT WAVED BACK AT ME!!" Vertibird exclaimed making Burst flinch, nearly making the transport veer off course. Out of nowhere 5 Pegasus guard surrounded them defensively. Burst then face-hoofed at Vertibirds stupidity and at the guards tendency to overreact to everything. "Whats wrong, is everything alright," one of them said cautiously. "Everything is fine here," Burst said nervously while Vertibird stared straight, looking like the happiest pony in the world. "Are you sure, i heard screaming from one of you," another said questioningly, unconvinced. "Oh nothing we just uhh," Burst said trying to figure out what to say until Vertibird decided to speak. "It waved at me," Vertibird said excitedly pointing behind him at the alien. "What," a guard said confused. Vertibird continued. "I was staring at it for the last 10 minutes while it stared, then i decided to wave at it and do you know what it did," Vertibird said flashing the widest smile ever seen on anypony besides Pinkie, waiting for an answer. The guards look at him confused. "It waved back at me," He finished squealing loudly. After there was silence from the guards. The longer it lasted the more Burst stared to get worried and Vertibird smile started to waiver until one of the guard spoke up. "Really," the guard said now very curious and flew closer to them. Vertibird flashed his big smile again. "Yeah look," Vertibird the looked back the alien through hole with the guard watching attentively, the alien was still sitting there watching, seemingly not having a care in the world. Vertibird then waved the alien again and again the alien waved back, still staring with his red eyes. The guards eyes widened. "Whaooo," The guard exclaimed staring the alien. At this point the other guards got curious as well and started to them to get a better look at the alien, to the astonishment of burst, who was staring slack jawed at the whole scene. Didn't they know that they had a mission to complete, so why are they busy staring at the alien. She face hoofed and then sighed, perhaps it is kind of cool for it to do that ,considering how little it was doing earlier. ____________________________________________ Captain POV The Captain is currently sitting on one of the benches inside the carriage looking at the floor in deep thought. He was really hoping this wouldn't be a horrible mistake. Hopefully this Princess Celestia is merciful, he had already gotten a second chance and he would rather not lose again to ponies. What is a little assuring is that his instincts are not telling to run, so hopefully he is not in danger. Now that he thought about it he had been really tamed up to this point, usually when he was faced with capture (although who he was facing wouldn't usually be in the mode for mercy) he would usually just tear the opposing enemy to shreds without a second thought, so why was he being so soft with the ponies. Maybe it something to do with them being ponies......... yeah that's probably it. His thoughts were interrupted when he sensed himself being watched, which was weird considering there was nothing but a small window inside this carriage........ wait. The Captain looked towards the window and saw one of the guards that were pulling the carriage was staring directly at him mesmerized. If it wasn't for the weird crap he had been experiencing most of his life, he would have been creeped out by this pegasus ponies constant staring. The Captain had to admit though, it was pretty impressive for the pegasus to be able to fly such a large object backwards, although he sensed his partner must be a little annoyed that she has to maneuver this mobile prison nearly by herself. He continued to stare at him for sometime until eventually he decided to wave, of course having common courtesy i decided to wave back and then the pegasus made what sounded like a boyish squeel, he couldn't hear very well through the window, which was weird because his super hearing is second to none, perhaps this transports was designed so he couldn't hear what happening outside. Out of nowhere other pegasus surrounded the transport,I guess his sequel hadn't came unnoticed. I half expected the supposed commander of the group to reprimand the pony for his unprofessional behavior, which he did not welcome since the pegasus, despite being creepy was the only entertainment he could possibly get out of this trip. However to my surprise they instead decided to crowd around my small window, with abnormally large eyes staring right at me. This is gonna be a long trip.
