The Squad were taking heavy enemy suppression fire, as their enemies were flanking them from behind, They retaliated with Shots From an Ak-47, Bomber planes rolled in as the tank fired another shell to the shelter, effectively making a hole in the Mural of Sinia "Rex! Wheres the Machine guns!?" An unknown man called out, while firing from her Mosin neagant "Jus wait for One second! Jesus Christ Forgive Us!" The man who was Named Rex was currently fiddling with an Colored Green chest, Opening the chest it's content were clear and tossed them to the man "Thanks, Now giv'em to The others!' He Commanded. The man obey her, and rushed to the other rooms to give them, While running down the hallway spree of bullets made Holes in a seemingly weak wall as he hunched his head to avoid being hit *Boom* A distant explosion shook the facility, knowing that their artillery is working Well, Rex continued to run to the others. Reaching his destination he Saw 12 people on the barricade, All of them currently crouching down the floor to avoid enemy snipers from getting them "Git! down u Prick!" The Former mercenary said, Without a second thought he slided down the floor and was currently next to a Transgender "Rex are you alright?" She said, Placing his hand on his cheeks and turning them on both sides and patted his shoulder and said "Don't worry, This'l be over soon" She reassured Rex's resolve were valued to the squad of 71 people, And they often regard him for his attitude and- "Here, Shira Wanted to Spread these out" Rex Started, As he Threw the machine gun and it's ammunitions to the almost injured mutant "Thanks kid" The mutant praised, In his soft raspy voice. As he Gave a sign language to the others saying, We.need.to.Shoot.Fast And with a understood nod, they connected the ammunitions to the Gun and In a count of three, Shot at the snipers with deadly accuracy "C'mon! Work!" An OM(Original member) Cursed at his seemingly Useless weapon. the Grenade launcher. As he banged the weapons with his hand for a few seconds and proceeded to throw it away, and drew out his bow "Incoming Strike" Their radio Called out, And with and same seconds Destroyed their rooftops and shrapnels and bits of scraps were flying everywhere and the squad of 70 people shouted the their squad slogan that changed young Rex's life forever "CRIME SQUAD, FOOLS!" As they shot recklessly at anyone who opposed the squad, With awesome prejudice of what they've all done together. A man slipped to his back *Boom!* A tank Exploded from the inside, by the molotov cocktails "AGH!" A man down, currently crawling off "*Gasp*" A gasp from an SWAT member who was currently pummeled to the ground and was thrown by A nightmare creature Amongst all the chaos, An earthquake unexpectedly happend and both forces stopped their fighting and were shaking off till in end fell to the ground. out of balance, Rex began cover his head and so did the others, but the Authorities instead fled the scene. by this situation an magnitude of 11.05 earthquake was quickly assumed as they felt something in the ground...And they fell ---------------------------------------------Unknown land, mountain,Unknown date-------------------------------- As Rex rubbed his head to ease the Agonizing headache. He finds himself on the forest, dirt ground. Standing up confusely he saw what remained of the Abandoned 4 story tall building and was obscured by the sight of trees, it was intact for a change and the only damage was it's windows in which he found shocking. Grogginly he rubbed his temple to try to remember what happen but no idea came to him, deciding to next option he said "Hello!" He shouted, and he cupped his finger and placed it in his lips and shouted again "Anyone hear me!?" Silence was his only answer, as menacing as it is he has to continue, walking along the dirt and very forested area, he checked his wrist watch and saw it was currently. 4:31 P.M. As he walked toward a ruin, he saw bodies that resembled human and with a slight suspicion something sticking out of it, Readying his bow and knife, he poked the body with his stick and the body rose up and said "Ahh, Crabs, where th-" He's voice was cut off by a suprised face of seeing me, steping backward his garment in the upper torso was a SWAT Vest and Rex Readied his bow to aim at his unprotected head, "Okay, Who are you and where are we?" he spoke in a deceivingly calm voice "Turn around" He complied "Walk forward" And he started to trot his way to the building, with anymosity "Sooo, explain to me Why were here?" He questioned "I don't know, The last thing i remembered was a fight" I Said in a confused manner "Do you remembered what happend?" i questioned again "Oh yeah, i do remembered kicking some scum, and a fight, and the final part. Sinkhole" He stated, sarcastically with Insults everywhere "Oh, shut it WE kicked your butts" I retaliated " well someone is getting a bit-" a voice of confrontation was screaming inside the house as we approached it" confident" and with that his voice trailed off -----------------------------------------------------------Inside the building------------------------------------------------------- "Look! We don't know where we are Okay!" An woman's voice was heard, flushed with anger and confusion" Were stuck in this place, Unless you're going to mutiny we have to figure out was is going on!" "Maybe it's magic" Said someone from behind "Or something" A man replied sarcastically "Everyone, Can i get your attention Please!" An OM Shouted, grabbing every-ones attention" I know what happend and let me recap what has we encoutered. First we fought as enemies and suddenly something magical happend to everyone, And now we are all stuck in this strange world, that we know off nothing, so i need everyone to calm down and stop fighting until we all go back home, and be back to our families, friends and no one "Wat?" someone said, *sigh* he sighed, and proceeded to spew out his plans to everyone: He thought that something supernatural happen to us, and not some random earthquake must've happen, he quickly point out the fact that everyone should work together and no one aside" Everyone grudgingly agreed "Now everyone rally up!" as everyone gathered around, with hostility between the opposing forces they knew they have no choice no but to accept it as temporary truce, in order to help themselves out" 12,13 anndd 15!. Welp as i've counted, we have 16 SWAT members, and 5 soldiers and 67 Squad members. so everyone please cooperate until we all go back home alright!" Everyone ignored his positivity and continued to sloth around patiently until the scouts get back with possibility of good news ---------------------------------------------Scouts(POV)---------------------------------------------- As i followed the Squad member, i remembered my training and set your sights out of the forest, and with that motivation i said "Let's go!' and everyone followed persuit, as they recognized my authority, of which i prided over a bit "Wait What is that!" someone shouted, and turning around we saw some kind of abomination, it looked like it was made of sticks and branches and added green eyes to make a scare, everyone raising their weapons One shot to the head with precise accuracy was all it took for Me to end it's (Life?) "Goodjob M8!" a squad memeber remarked "Thanks, i keep my best" I replied with pride, and he rolled his eyes in a playful way and walked off Minutes passed, the walking was getting unbearable as my boots were getting muddy by the wetness of this strange forest, as i sighed in disgust over the strange frog over there, i saw a glimpse of civilization on a direction. how do i know this? well it's because of a fire smoke, i stared for a moments and everyone mirrored my reaction, and instinctively followed the fire smoke ----------------------------------------------------------Town,Clearings,Unknown-------------------------- As they crouched down to position themselves properly, The SWAT member pulled out a binoculars and placed his eyes on it, scanning the whole clearing, it was reminded the old SWAT of his hometown of to the primitiveness of it,Uncharted, and looked like it belonged to a medieval theme to Him, But what shocked him the most was it belonged to many Horses!, he couldn't believe his eyes, it was all so strange and foreign to him most has furs of different colors, wings ,tails ,horns, and none at all After the initial reaction, everyone was for vacant surprise as the reactions flown over so many faces of 8 people, and their conclusions were wild and magical was obsolete, but Magic, was logical as we can get, but they refused to lose all hope of getting any- What Shocked them, were Shocked them to their cores as they saw humans, treating them as if they were servants these ponies were treated with smuging Prejudice? The squad disagreed, while the authorities went quite of to the display of control, After the surprising revelation, everyone went back and went back to the Building and report...As their heads were having a hard time accepting their realities > What? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------Inside building, Unknown----------------------------- As the others, and Rex waited for the arrival of the scout and hopefully bring in some goodnews, Rex spent his time counting his remaining arrows and testing the integrity of the bow and his trench coat, he observed that the squad treated themselves well and often play and chat to each other, the Authorities are a different Chapter, they stare at all people everytime thinking no one is watching them, we are, and it’s getting creepier and unnerving to the point that we think of them as robots and has to obey commands. After the initial Outbreak of social hostility between the two groups, they came to a conclusion that they are all stuck together in this ‘Displaced’ building, and the relationship of the two groups are sour but not bitter. “Rex, you alright there champ?” A friend of his asked him, as he scratched his back “I’m okay, I’m just still shocked how we survived the falling of a whole building. You know the all this stuff happening looked like it came from a Fantasy Genre” Rex replied “Well you’ll get used to it, Sometimes stuff happens” He reassures, yawning he sat down and “Sleep, going to sleep, Wake me up when something happens Okay” As he slid his hands underneath his head and used as pillows “Alright” He nods, and he decided to talk to Another OM and moved fast on his feet not because of the trees being so strange in this place nor not the fact that seemingly Weird animals attacked the building Hours ago. But because of the authorities were watching everyone, In a zombie kind of way, Rex doesn’t all the hostility to break out so everyone tries their best, even if it’s short lived or not Opening the door, He reached an OM closet and She was their, just chainsmoking with her Nicotine, Staring at her she gazes at him as well and decided to start first “Soo, can you tell us the situation” Rex started, absent of precaution “Yeah, The situation is getting out of hand the authorities wants out of this building, but we all know about those creatures outside of this building” She scratched her chin” Second, I can feel something in my spine just tingling that an unspecified threat is going to rise up, and third, we’re all bored” and proceeded to punch the mat with her fist “Uh, what are you doing?” Rex questioned “Cleaning the mat, in case someone gets injured I can extract rags from this old thing” She said whilst punching the mat “Alright, I’m just going to leave you alone” True to his word, Rex closed the Closet door, and moved away from the closet Rex who was now extremely bored, Followed up his quota with observation. He noticed that everyone has their own ways of relieving the feeling, Some prayed to their lord that they will be alright, Some just observed everyone like they had the exact feeling the OM had he recently visited, and mostly everyone just talked their boredom away, which is time wise, And a minority of them is Sharing their wisdom to everyone about surviving the jungle and forest A man barged in the building, startling reactions came from the forces, some drew their weapons, other just ignored them, but most of everyone were in a involuntary surprise “Hey what the hel-“ The Mutant was cut off “Were all not on earth!” An old SWAT member was screaming in exclaimed tone “What are you talking about , old man” an young man asked sarcastically “I’m serious we are not on earth anymore!” The Old SWAT member stated again “ Master sergeant Zohaib!” A soldier Pushed his way “What is going on!?” “Look! We are not on earth anymore” The SWAT master sergeant named Zohaib Said” We are in this strange new world where anthropomorphic horses are roaming the land, and humans enslaving them!” He started, whilst starting a pandemonium among the two groups especially the last part “Let me straight this out for you. We are in this new world filled with anthropomorphic horses with wings, horns, and colorful furs, whilst also have the ability to cast magic and fly, and being enslaved by humans Us! And scratch out the fact that we are also stuck in this world and also this new world defies the physics of our old world!” a former eminent scientist explained the situation in a more detailed fact A shock came from both forces at first, and then it turned into a heavy Rejection in the air. The Mob of people were in a state of confused panic as their superiors tried to contain it, successfully, With that out in mind the ‘Survivors’ Now what they call themselves to a meeting onto How to handle the situation “What we are going to do is Figure out on how to survive this new world! I know for a fact that we are stuck in this world for a while, but the man says that the horses with horns has the ability to cast magic, if this is true they may or may not cast a spell to help us go back to our original earth” The OM Addressed his plan out “So what we are going to do is to Liberate Those horse creatures out of their enslavement, I know that we are in a limited time and resources but we all have to recycle everything we have or else we would fail, and also this place, this building is a perfectly a natural base and a barrier to the outside but we can expand it more into a tunnel, we do have tunnelers so do not be so worrisome! Thank you” The OM walked out whilst the survivors Thinked over the plan and could and pointed out a few flaws but accepted it none the less for they don’t even have the “Respect” “A’ight” A man Stood up and said” Y’all Wanna git some Crate full’of supplies so we can start Building!” The man with a southern accent Shouted to start the contrction “You” a Soldier pointed at me “ Looks like we are assigned to scout out the horse town since the Major know that I once worked for Human intelligence and Communications intelligence, and the Leader guy you have says that you specialize at sabotage and subversion, are you?” He says in a mysteriously intimidating voice “Y-yes, I am” I Accepted timidly “Good, cause this mission requires Us kidnapping two male villagers and dressing up as them” he said, pointing in his Urban warfare vest and suit” But just one maybe, cause yours already looked good enough, but you need to zip it” he said whilst pointing at his brown trenchcoat, unzipped “A-alright s-sir” I Said shyly, which caused him to grin “He, don’t chicken out in a eventual fight okay” he remarked, patting Rex’s shoulder” and also, name’s Sven yours?” he asked His name “My names Rex” he said in a renewed confident voice “Nice to meet ya, but we don’t have enough time for introduction, we need to get in the town before nightfall” Sven says, Gripping Rex’s coat and dragging him into a adventure Unknown to Rex, Sven has been keeping a secret from everyone. -------------------------------------------Horse town, Afternoon, Time Check: 5:21------------------- As the two pair arrived at a destination, They were met with and acres of Appletrees and it amazed them beyond they ever felt. > Not okay > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Two days has passed... ----------------------Forest, hideout, Time 7:52 A.M.------------------------------- Looking around, the world seemed to be small to my perspective but it all came crushing down when i realized that i was just imagining all those thought, The cause? Well I was bored and wanted to do it anyway Still, I should waste all of this thoughts on How to go back home, My friends still need my money to support them, and We knew we triend the phone way. And no surprise there was no signal and can’t no matter what you do, Glancing at the right I find my trusty Baton and Berreta M9 on the ground , laying to be used again like the last time. But no use of scruggling around the forest, waiting for a prey, Packing my Pistol on my hoist, concealing the baton to my wrist, I pulled my pocket radio and Said “Hey, you there!” I Spoke, intentionally irritating the Caller “ Yeah? What is it?” The radio burst in a low volume, so I had to put my ear next to it “Got any, ‘Quest’ for me” I Strain the word quest, to take advantage of the medieval atmosphere of the forest Hehehe “Haha, very funny Zohaib. You know it’s offensive to your name right” The Woman who was currently answering me was mocking me retaliated “Alright alright, I’m not getting younger over here, just tell me and I’ll go” “Alright Zohaib, Your Goal right now is to spy to the northern part of this area, Rex and Sven gottya covered on the south, Poor Rex was disturbed after the experience and had nightmares ever since and seems to be getting worse everytime, Anyway the reason why we sent you north is because there is a rumored by us at least that there is a train station and a flying freaking City!” She exclaimed the last part, At first I couldn’t believe it but when I think about it she said a floating city is possible because of the Magic in this new world “Uhuh, Okay you can count on me I’ll go” Sighing and spat at a tree “Thanks Zohaib, I know we rely on expendable people, but everyone is still Slowly accepting the fact that we are in this new world, and you’re one of the few people who instantly accepted it bu-“ “No worries, just do it faster alright” She replied with an affirmative hum “ Out!” I turned off the radio and put it back in my pocket again As I hiked the hillious forest side, I turned to the northern direction using my Wrist watch-compass, and said to myself “Time to get this over with” I thought as I pulled the Bracket and let it go making a Typical sound of a gun Ready.For.War --------------------------------Southern Field, Pony Farm, Time 8:01---------------- Sven Was having a weird time, for the last two days they did not receive any information on how to proceed on this Pony situation. Ponies Weird name for a anthropomorphic Race but it represented them a bit accurately despite the name gave him a strange shiver down his spine Sven is now currently helping the taskmaster Whipping up a good one, As the one eyed man turned his eye on a particular mare He shouted “You! Stop messing around and get back to work!” He snarked, clearly irritated “Y-yes s-sir” The mare stuttered as her Purple fur Kept her hot on the weather “Hey Estevon!” I turned to him as he called my Disguised name sake” Are you gonna help with this?” He pointed at the crate, of which he is trying to carry “jus’ a minute!” I ran to him and helped him carry it “There. No Over there, no to the right. There!” We placed the crate next to the other crates and The one eyed man patted my back “Good strong” He ruffled my head, and slipped away as he walked back to the barn Looking up, I saw 3 balloons as they patrol the sky and ground, grinning to myself I thought Soon they will fall down, and I will go back home I thought as I walked toward the field to ‘tend’ with the work horses ---------------------------------Somewhere, Field, Time 8:21--------------------------- As the man and mutant looked up the sky, they saw of what appears to be a balloons and Flying Horses up the sky They nodded at themselves as if they know what to do, The mutant was readying his old Karabiner 98K, Whilst the man was readying his Bow and arrows, the quiver strapped on his waist The two of them readied there sniping tools, as the Mutant looked at his scope what he saw was a small skirmish between the opposing forces In his cursors he saw a mare kicking the man on the balloon while the other was a different creature, he was generally confused of to what is this another new creature It has a beak, her hands were the same as the Horses except she is fully feathered from head to toes, she is currently wearing a Leather armor as her upper garments. Her lower garment is a pair of Short battle pants , and her toes wait…talons? If not mistaken her talon ended up in the fighting man’s Eyes as he screamed unheardly to his ears, Since he saw the two together he decidedly concluded that they are indeed allies and left her out The mutant having enough of the scoping decided to pull the trigger on the man’s head and Splat Red goo on the Feathered lion’s face A look of shock came from her unknown to the mutant’s regards, He Loaded another bullet and Boom A man fell *Boom* *Sounds of reloading* A Gun fell, whilst his badassery was noticed by the man *Boom* A Retreat was sounded as the shocked face of both human and non-human was plastered in faces, Signaling that the mutant only just begun his dutiful Goal ------------------------------Building, inside, Time 8:51-------------------------------------- As the Mob of survivors turned at the leader, they all decisively Followed a Certain Charismatic man Who was known As- “Hey! What do you think you’re doing?” “I’m just setting up some decors, would that be enough to cheer everyone up?” A rather Cheerful voice was heard on the other side of the window “and also where are you?” The voice returns, only this time it’s on the side of his face. Hugging him “Stop it you’re going too hyper again” He pushed him away from him, and placed a elbow on her ribcage “Alright! Everyone listen up! I know the situation is getting worse but we must all overcome all of this in order to survive and Proceed with our goal, To go Home, so I need everyone to cooperate and do their best so the early we can get understands!?” He Outcried, as the resolve of everyone near him were strengthen and Cheered for him Minutes passed, the cheering was now done and the Mob dissolved back into a individualistic Parts Some Fortified the Facility, Some Scavenged in the wild, While others Are Trying to raise morale and arrange the Available resources left in the building. But mostly everyone is sitting still and teaching others the how’s and Why’s ,Essentially exchanging knowledge to each group Their leader eyed them for what their worth and said to himself We will survive this, so many people, yet must preserved them for the cause! -----------------------------Near town, outside of gate, Time 9:09------------------------------------ As I looked at the guards who are mistreating the group of Those Ponies of what they called themselves or they called them, whatever the case I have been assigned to this task at hand so I must do so in order to complete it with regards I looked forward to the Field, the dirt road was being used as the 3 rows of caravan was in my sight, As they moved the Ponies were used as horses as to nothing more than tools and their masterless serf’s to their eyes but to my eyes, they have potentials, the rags was the only things covering their forms and their intimate parts as the glistening eyes of misery was all I have been seeing since the dawn of slavery As I dragged myself at a certain place, I repositioned myself well and can also clearly see the sightfaring better than before, looking at the mountain a castle dotted the magnificence of the mountain side, I perceive the castle as a glorious capital of those ponies. A sad sight indeed as if a repeat on one of the human history has been influenced by action Eccentric of me. I must cover myself an- *Beep* As the sudden noise came through me, I picked my pocket radio and picked up the call in order for it to shut up “Well, What did ya see?” A voice came as in a irritation incarnate “The besieged ponies have been captured and ensared by the hands of the ungreatfull , nor what I saw did nothing” I Recited “Soo, that’s a no?” He replied in a confused tone “ Yes” I simply replied “Very well, Bye weirdo!” And with that the call ended, leaving me with a plain face What a Plain insult > Day 4 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------Forest, Hideout, Time 5:21 P.M.---------------------- Making my way to the cover, I placed the leaves besides the Boxes to cover it up as well. This reminds me of the Vietnamese jungle warfare except we don’t place lethal traps and other potentially dangerous traps that may unintentionally kill and ally or non-combatant Looking at What’ve done . We applauded for a bit as all the hardwork was done an the survivors moved to another branch of defense, which is The East side, predominantly the area is left unexplored due to concerns of dangerous swamp, Rocky hills, flammable trees and a Volcano geysers, I hope they are kidding because if they aren’t well the scientific community and the other branches of geographics Will go nuts on how it’s possible. Why, well because the lavas looked like they are being regulated which is almost. Wow “ey! we’ve done a good job aye” The Man patted my back, as he slapped my back “Yes, I know we done so much effort into this but. When will the other scouts come back, what if they ambushed during a mission and been held captive or worse-“ The man place his middle finger to my lipse to hushed me and “They’ll be Awrite, Those laddies can hand’le what tey can see” He reassured, speaking in a strange way “…Okay if, if your so sure” I whispered fiddling my finger as I nervously accepted the truth “ell It’s on ye Kiddo” He sighed and “ I Gota go, See you leter “ He walked past the berricades and proceeded to walk to the building, Inside of course *Sigh* I hope his right about all of this I looked down and picked up my strap belt and prepared myself to Scout the lower parts of the town, As I would like to call it The market district, ----------------------Town, Quarter, Time 6:01 P.M.----------------------------- As I strod down the cobblestone street, The Block was like a ghetto, Colts and fillies were playing in the streets occasionally looking at me, the older Ponies looked at me with reluctance, with some suspicion I walked over to the Nearest pony and I spoke to one of the slaves, questioning them of what happened “Excuse me” I tapped his shoulder “Can I ask some question?” I asked in a calm voice, trying to coarse him to speak out The mare who currently wearing a wore-down slave rag fiddling her own fingers, was colored Yellow, with a pink mane and tail, she has one of those wings and has an aura of calmness to her “y-yes” She timidly answered, her voice very soothing “I need to know what happened to these lands” I questioned, trying my best calm voice as I can “well, uhm” She tried to muster up the strength to speak to my normally, but spectacularly failed in the process “I just need information, look you can go now if you wish” “Um, I’m sorry I didn’t mean to ignore you” She hides in her Pink mane, the sight was beautifully cute as she looks down at her own hooves “Look the quicker you talk the more of this will be over” I quickly added, haughtily trying “O-okay” She gestured me to follow her --------------------------Near Canterlot, Entrance mountain, Time 6:42----------- As hours of walking finally paid off, I pulled my binoculars out while simultaneously trying to pull out my radio, I used my radio first to Report my progress “Sir.Sir you in there?” I Spoke to the thing “*Static* C-Can you hear me now?!” The Pocket radio burst out words rather loudly, so I tuned the volume down and “yes, I’m here” “Good, now where are we. Oh right, the mission is to scout up the castle in the mountainside to see if you can gather more information there or not, Your job is to be optionally a Sleeper agent Whilst Gather much info as you possibly can, you can Sabotage Trade and their supplies if you want but under our permission You understand all of this Or do I have to repeat all of this” He questioned “Yes, perfect Clear sir” “Good, Best of luck. Out” with a *Beep* The pocket radio went silent and was turned off Looking around snugly at a discreet spot, I Layed down my weapons which is a AN-94, with a Scope on top, and a Makeshift supressor, it does not quiet the weapon but I have to make use of everything so I’ll be less detectable to the enemy, And finally a Shank, a combination of glass and wood Peering At the gate, I laid there dormantly until I prioritized something is that I should free those who are unicorns and Others alike No matter what I am, I’ll free other people, even if they are presumed unredeemable --------------------------Somewhere, Forest ,time 7:01------------------------------------ As I monitored my enviroment, I noticed that my Bolo is rusting out due to the amounts of water it has ben exposed to which is regretful, Bringing my thoughts into a Man. I Am worried about various things Number one Is that the people that I called my brothers and sisters and enemies are Now united calling ourselves the survivors, Since the beginning The Survivors tries many ways to contact there base and there loved ones but that backfired. And created a mass hysteria between the two groups, lusting on going home We are Forced to work together for a better hehe Men and Women will unite under a common flag if enough pressure is put to their wit Sighing at the thought of Doug trying to choke himself with a hangmans knot, Pleagued me with Mild nightmares, the man seems to be suffering with anxiety before he joined the cause but now it Actually worsend eversince he experienced battle and Starvation on a basis . But now it gone him a stray Too far, and now he Is currently placed on a confinement to avoid him from getting any ideas It’s sad to think of something so Big can change a person in a snap, So why did I not changed? Looking at the surrounding the insects are cricking, the birds are chirping like they are spying, and the forest is very, very dull to my taste of sense. It felt like the world is revolving normally but I bet the sun Is being controlled by some entity or something relating to it Looking Forward to be with my… Welp I guess something just have to change -----------------Wasteland, Unknown? Time 7:21---------------------------------- Blinking and sweating, The Surprising Hot air looms over this land, The land is corrupted by the liquid fire and Eruptions are almost non-common the hotness in this vast unforgiving desert is also unpardonable Thy will shape the future, they should at least shape This future land, the particular space that I am occupying now is as just hot as the ground, and at once I Peeked up the crate and saw an unbelievable sight… > Dragons and Myths! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------Wasteland, Unknown? Time 7:21 P.M.---------------------------------- -Of AN FRICKING DRAGON!. This This Is Just unbelievable and My face was very priceless and a stuck on Face, A second passed the face was gone and now was replaced with Chilling curiosity, here I was going to explore the Mythical creatures From earth legends. Now to observe Sneaking to the enclave territory of the dragons they were ignoring me and were focused on something else Good enough distraction, of whatever is in there glancing at every possible ways of observing them Which is suicide option but gotta gather any info at all costs Slipping at the open cave mouth, inside the cave was pitch darkness, couldn’t see things and obstacles in front of me resorting to light may result in a suspicion and that’ll conclude my journey quickly but not right now Damn those dragons are so far away, time to smack the table run Looking at the distance, they all seemed to be doing something but now all I care is to just observe them If I can get away from them alive that is The dragon who was colored red in scales, seems to be boasting something he stretched out his wings and moves his mount in a fashion thinking higher of him/her-self, Since observing them in a distance is enough without being burned to a crisp. I Dabbed the sweat in my forehead and armpit with my bare hands Readied to do the boresome and fear provoking that I never asked for, and a Hot chilling Night I hope they are like, good people or something if they start talking English like those ponies in the Horsetown, I’m going to lose my mind of how they are able to speak it ---------------------------------Huge City, Countryside, Time 7:53 P.M. ---------------------- Looking at the Huge sign “Manehattan” engrained with big letters on top, It stood tall like one of those advertisements bill boards but nah! The city was accompanied with a beauty as the large tall red bridge was impressive in sheerness, and also looked familiar to me somehow but I decided to shrug the feeling and cross the bridge, to the city! Looking left and right I thought it would be a good idea to approach the city since it’s also filled with humans and Ponies in the streets, Looking for something to be satisfied with I observed the people in my sight, their fluid movement and their order chaos was very amusing to me as to how does people walk without looking type of situation in my homecity Snapping from my philosophical standpoint, I watched the busy streets and busy building doing and about their daily business Selling Clothes, jewelry and Food was very common in very big cities but with an exception that this city in other world and Felt similar to Manhattan in U.S.A. Don’t know why though but it does help me in navigating the street People observed me with awe As they saw my apparel, A black coat-hood that extends to my knee colored black, a belt in the stomach, Whilst wearing a SWAT Kevlar underneath the coat, while the Big black Boots made loud sounds while my typical black SWAT pants made a mean surprise to the ladies I bet Chuckling at the divide of attention I soon was ignored as they place their attention back to themselves, My eyes were looking for an particular Information but first of all, I’m not a social person I don’t know how cues work but what I do know is to extract information No matter what Okay, foreign city, don’t know where to obtain money but do know hot to get some criminal scums into jails Looking at any way to get information I decided to just…Steal, I know it’s a bad idea but the Cause made these badass apperal for me so I need to repay them somehow and besides I know how to steal and break in and enter a house in a snap Shrugging I looked at a noteworthy house to steal and saw one building that looked good enough for me to steal, An Boutique Let me remind myself after this…Why am I talking to myself? -------------------------------Road , road to sometown, Time 8:20----------------------------------- Looking at the incoming caravan to the, I decided to snoop in their conversation because if I were a bug I listened to them all day long if I can, But given the limited shift I can have it’s rather fast-paced than slow-paced. Looking at the sides of the road the incoming caravan was near and the approximately near the radius shot(Which is where I ambush them) Leveling my height to cover myself more, I waited patiently for the caravan to pass and go but it was slow so the process is longer than I thought so I might as well done go ahead and take a quick snipe In my crusors, the caravan consisted of two carts, one has good in it, the other is well forced laborers one guess it’s one of those creatures again, this time I took a closer look and inside the cart was a sccaley lizard with a purple scale, A green eyes with spikes on his backside, I was confused because the lizard was supposed to be a dragon but came close to that a little dragon hehe funny name a small dragon is a bit ouylandish to my concept but everything is possible so I might never know. I noticed that the dragon is a bit talkative to his friends inside the cage, there was a Pink anthropomorphic Horse that looked like she’s having fun despite all the hardships around her, I seem to keep noticing her legs keep doing the Jittery movements and It kinda made me laugh for a bit and washed it off, observing her figure, She looked a bit fat to say at least and the dragon has claws instead of hands but his claws looked flawless as if he dulled them, Both of them wore a white shirts and work pants with no shoes on Due to the pink one having hoof legs and the dragon having a scaled foot The Guy was looking left and right at everything Looks like someone’s a bit nervous He looked like he’s gripping his musket really hard and is about ready to fire at something should the need arrive Veteran maybe? I pulled myself closer to foliage to avoid detection as his sight, but he keeps getting closer to my position of where I am. Blinking in readiness, looking at my .45 Automatic Pistol it was in my left hand and readied the pistol to open fire when forced confrontation Three magazines Have to conserve them. Gripping my pistol I waited for the supposed confrontation and readily peekd an eye on the foliage and saw the pink One talking to the edgy caravan guard almost as if the miracle came to me and chose Me as the avatar Hehe I read way to many Stories Looking back at the certain childhood, I chuckled a bit at that memory and and again looked back at the caravan again Here be dragons! > Time > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------Ponyville, Attack n raid, Time 2:21 P.M.---------------- As the elderly SWAT walked toward the skirmish, the sounds of screams and agony filled the air around him as do the other ‘comrades’, he unholstered his Berreta m9 And fired upon the human enemy, A shot and an man fell on to the dirt. Looking at the others attacking the other enemies, he knew that this skirmish was necessary due to the amount of Laborers being transported in this particular area. “Zohaib! Where are the others!?” The man who Named Sven was busy tackling an woman to the ground and knocking her out using his elbow to drive it down to her side of the head, Knocking her out in a process. “…” the elderly man took time to contemplate until he reached an conclusion to” Retreat! We bought those horses enough time to run and hide!” After the words left, the Squad comprised of 11 people ran towards the nearest safe spot before they were shot by musket balls, most of them missing them due to their inaccuracy to long ranges, but other were unlucky to be shot by those painful stings. “Keep going were going back to the base!” ---------------------------------Manhattan, 1st floor of an Bar, Time 5:21 P.M.---------------- “get your newspaper, Get your news report on the attack on ponyville” An kid kept shouting his mantra to get people to buy his News paper, and partially succeeded,. It’s beein a bothersome task to be an local spy in this city despite higher training in Cover missions like Stealing and raiding, But no they said they want me to Spy on this city for an particular what way, of course I didn’t question but I still resent it though. Looking left and right, I saw none looking or even glanced at me meaning that my disguise is working perfectly by it’s effect, An beggars attire and a beanie on the head, A small radio behind my back. And a small Butterfly knife on my pocket, Looking at the walking people some gave me Bits as their currency, But right now I’m here to report the status of the City called Manhattan Formerly Manehattan. My mission was to listen to Local rumors about an army arriving in Ponyville to defend their food lines. And all I heard was just now and was previously about an Mysterious bandits that attack caravan and Free laborers. “Hey, Are you alright?” An off-white coated two-tone blue mane and tailed pony spoke to me, in a pitiful tone “Hmm, oh I’m fine thank you” I Grudgingly admitted, but in truth I had the worse day ever. Looking at her eyes I said it in her face “You can go now” She shaked her head Dismissively she spoke again in a calmer voice” Please, let me help you, you have I’ve been seeing you in these streets for 2 days ever since you arrive” Her eyes glistend for a bit as she reached out to Me “Why would You, Help a Human” I asked lamely, trying to Get her off my back “Because I care for everyone even if they are our conquerors, if there’s one thing Generosity taught me is to Give unto to others so other may give to you” She kneeled to me and touched my top shoulder and said yet again “So please let me help you, I worked for charity on homeless people and pony too” She traced her hand unto my arm slowly but surely Groaning that I have to listen to this Pitiful girl, the emotions on my inside threatening to flare I said “Fine! I’ll go to you’re stupid Housing lot” I Puffed annoyingly and stood up on both legs quickly She smiled and then gestured me to follow her to the homeless home. I maybe not in the bar where information spins around but I can at least make some kind of base in this former Manehattan “Don’t worry, you’ll get some food once we get there” She reassures, knowing that I haven’t eaten anything in 1 day and my stomach is empty You know what, I might get some grubs before I spy on them. Grabbing my weapon and the pocket radio, I followed her to her “dungeon”(Home) and prepared myself for some diabetes ----------------------Apple Acres, Night, Time; Somewhere 7:00Pm to 9:00Pm -------------------- As I Snaked toward the House, I breathed in and out slowly to conserve the breath, But as always I prepared my equipment to handle all kinds of situations but there was an current person that keeps bugging me about ethics and he’s Rex “Sven” an tap from my shoulder brought attention to the young man “Should we be even stealing their things?” he added “Well, We have no other options, we have to get more gunpowder t make an improvise explosive or Else they will not escape their cages” I Exclaimed in a standpoint whilst peeking up the window, Whispering each and every word “well can we at least Try to steal it from them without breaking and entering houses?” He asked, still trying to convince me to stop “…” With an grunt I asked him” I know that you used to break and enter houses, c’mon Rex we have no Other options anymore if we steal the keys from plain sight we’ll get in trouble. And the option we have now is to blowup the Entrance and exit of the pen” I Confronted, stressing the word Option in hopes of convincing him into infiltrating the house, for I knew that he was once an burglar “But” Sven placed an finger on my mouth and said” Do you agree or not” With a quick decision and replaying multiple scenarios regarding this mission, I grudgingly Nodded at the Man. He smiled, almost like a grin but a smile nonetheless, He stacked his hands together to create an human ladder and said“ Good I hope you’re ready” I placed my Left foot in his hand and lifted it up, as I gripped the Edge of the window and pulled myself inside the house. The kid is in the house, I know that now I pulled out my knife and Watch the area while the kid does his business leaving me to think to myself. It’s been days since we arrived in this Place called Equestria as the inhabitants called it, They see Us as enemies of the state and must be destroyed, the humans in this world is strange, Their eyes are a bit wider and both their body and height is enlarged significantly and every time someone mentions my height and body they always say that I must be a dwarf which I’m not, And it doesn’t stop there apparently magic exists in this world that fact alone made the environment predictable but more dangerous. And also the hideout were currently using is called the Everfree forest, Both humans and Ponies and other creatures said that that place is dangerous and should avoid it at all costs, Psh Its not that Dangerous to us It only reminded us of home to be honest- *Thud* Something landed near me, I looked quickly to see it and it was “Rex, You have everything?” I questioned currently looking at his Full hands “Yes, Fistful of them” He replied with an tange of regret on his eyes “Yes, We’ll not regret this, With this resources we’ll get more Ammunition on our guns if we do thi-“ “*Sigh*, fine I’ll, I’ll trust you” And with that he walked away Walking away from the madman, I knew that this is going to end in bloodshed, I should’ve have known that this scenario is going to happen but it’s too late to back up now Sorry Rex, But the world is Crueler than you’d let on . > Aftertime > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------Base, Everfree forest, Time 7:12 A.M.--------------------------- It has been Five days since we landed on this strange magical land of “Ponies” As they like to call themselves, they said that When the humans Invaded them they had advance weapons like that they describe and they al sound familiar to us like Lever action and revolving guns, But the scariest experience they had was an circular barrel like gun that shoots Bullets like rapid rate of fire, They also informed that most resistance were wiped out because the humans in this world were really good at search and destroy but not like other humans, We know history and History converts into wisdom which means were a greater threat than they think. “And another info states that there are minor resistance’s in the aftermath of the invasion, They also said that the War keeps getting in to other creatures like Changelings the reformed ones they said, and the black cahngelings which is a bit racist when I first heard about it but they said they were evil and tried to take over this place too, sentient Freaking Dragons!*Ahem* A Buffalo nation What? Griffins, Minotaurs, Seaponies , Hippogriffs, Parrots, cats and Others. I know that this all sound ridiculous But that what the reports said from the local spies when we pieced everything together” An Female Reporter stated, wiping an sweat on her forehead after an ridiculous amounts of reports and History of the place “Shinitzels, That’s a lot to take in” A Man with an unfamiliar accent voiced his concern” We better prepared ourselves after this, I knew Raids were an bad idea now thy want to locate us for out newer techs, and also the Bit lasses will train themselves fo battles to come” He Planned and spreading it to the Group, Making a few nods and Most silent consent “Were not sure what’s going to happen ???(Name required) , But I assumed that A lot of us are going to have to agree with this plan” An OM Spoke in a Calm tone, to hide his insecurity about the future “Yeah, We should. K Now We round everyone the soldier are going to have to trains some noobs today” An Former trainer Grinned as he Looked at the former oppose and They most of them Sighed and accepted that we need an better coalition between the two different groups in order to succeed. “Now that is done and the business is going to be an operation after this speech and Debriefing” An Man Randomly said, as he enthusiastically looked over his shoulder and spotted the woman who was Looking over his shoulder and winked at her. Sven approached Rex And confronted him about taking a life” Rex, I know that you’ll cower after this but instead, I’m going to teach you how to Fight using your fist and wits. But try to keep up When I say so alright?” He placed his hand on Rex’s shoulder “O-Oh alright” Rex whimpered lamely, as he knew the inevitable training is going to be an expected tiring process, But he had to because it’s mandatory(To him at least) and He has no choice in this matter “I’ll, Just start with the Basics alright” Sven said, And Rex nodded “ Good Cause this is not Going to be easy” He Grinned in a Strict manner…And with that a loud girly scream was heard in the forest by his comrades --------------------- -building, 1st floor, Time 9:21A.M. ----------------------------------------------- Coco was Confuse of the sight before her, the man that he picked up in the streets was a very rude man but she knew that he is just traumatized by the experience of what” happened”, He was trying to flush the toilet Using an pan and poured it in the Bowl of a toilet essentially flushing it, With nothing but Water on a pan Coco had to intervened “What are you doing?” She said as she Scoot over closer to him, Curious to hear of what he has to say “Flushing my Piss, what’s wrong with that?” He looked over the Toilet again, and True to his word his ”Piss” was now gone “Well, Breakfast is ready, and I got a job for you” She said Gesturing him to come over to the kitchen “Really, that fast, wow You must’ve have got a lot of contacts to get a job that fast” He said, trying Compliment her “Oh no, It’s just easy to find one here in Mane- I mean Manhattan” She stuttered as of the wrong name “Well, it sound like a weird name an a familiar city to me” The man Said “Yeah, I’m just an helper actually, I help Human designer make Fashionable clothes and we sell them, They maybe our owner but they are not our oppressors” She said trying to hide the fact that she lost “Some” Freedom in her life The man, noticing the hint of sadness in her Blue eyes. Placed his hands on her shoulder and said” What’s wrong” He raised an eyebrow “C’mon, Eat your breakfast before it gets cold” and with that she walked away from the bathroom and Goes to the kitchen, and heard an chair being pulled an pushed indicating that she is sitting in the Table ready to eat, The man was Washing his Armpit, head, face and Finally his Lower body. And declared himself to go And get Breakfast He Happily skiddled strangely into the kitchen, as he was in a good mood today” A good washing is a good day” And he smiled ---------------------------- Barnyards, 2nd barn, Time 12:31 P.M. ----------(Currently attacking)--------- Looking at the shoulder, Zohaib again propsed he’s own raid this time on where the trade is going, Their intelligence said that an Caravan of 90 Pony laborers were coming here today, and they ambushed the Barns earlier than they expected, but they could make an escape rout after this Bullets wheeze across the battle as exchange fires where fired, the radio staticked that the sniper was hit by an musket ball and was currently retreating, The Men of 12 were flanking them in a blitzkrieg overrunning them before they could react, But one of the caravan guards had an keen eye and Confidently shot the First man, which was the sniper The battle continued “One Down two to go!” An man shouted “Look out” The Soldier raised his rifle and shot a bursts of bullets to the guard whom was brave enough to raise an Sword “Agh” the athlete Grunted as the man charged at him and Clank his sword unto his Metal bodied Shotgun, and he Smashed it’s butt on the mand in retaliation. “We need to go faster, How much time do you need to free them” He raised his shotgun and fired “Thirteen seconds, this chains are complex You know!” The Freer Complained whilst he fiddled with the links that binds the ponies “Well do it Faster then!” The man raised his gun and fired again and again. Minutes passed the ponies were liberated by them and they gestured all of them to run, Without any thinking the Squad of 12(Excluding the sniper) ran to the forest and retreated. In their blind objective, they did not see mist ponies following them, The ponies knew that they are defenseless since they do not have any experience of fighting at all but they could always seek help to these strange hoomans ----------------------------------Applelosa, Entrance, Time 1:10 P.M.-------------------------- Looking at the fresh blue sky, an breeze of air was refreshing pace, for once I had an relaxing Quest for one day. My mission was to explore the southern part of equestrian to get an good map of the town and villages under an occupation of the Some freedom-oppressive humans, but before I could do the Search for the Maps and information, They said- well Rumored actually that some resistance are hiding beneath all of this wilderness, they said that they were lead in a coalition of EveryCreatures I paid attention, and now I’m keeping an keen eye on all of this…Unless Some Creature is approaching me, and..slow?
