> Cloud 9 > by Lion Heart > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Arrival > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cloud 9 "Everyday was the worst, painful, and horrific days of my life" - Lionheart Steelwing Today is my last day to see my family before I am shipped to an operation.In the waiting room I am talking to my brother."Where are you gonna go" said my brother "I Dont know, they never told us" I said. "Well... kick their ass" my bro said while chuckling. I had no expression on my face, as i knew i was going to die later on. "Wheres mom?" I asked. "She said, I am to scared to see you". "well tell her i said good bye". The bell rang... its time to go. "I'm going to miss you bro" I said while haveing the urge to cry. As im walking through the long drafty hallway to enter the plane im starting to cry beacuse i have a feeling I might not have a chance to see my family agian. As i felt burning heat going from my head to paw, I started to vomit, as i was too scared to enter the plane I decided to push myself into the plane. when I enter inside im sitting with 6 fellow troops. I asked them "so whats the name of the operation." a man named pvt. lemon said "We dont know yet. We just have to wait." Fifteen hours of trying to stay awake I passed out on the floor. Dreaming about home... the cool breeze in the hot day. But then something happend. There was 6 other ponies. None like my troops i only remember one of them. one of them was pink. that is all I can say, all i can remember. Then I woke up to the sounds of screaming in the forest. they were all gone. I looked around. No blood. No signs of resistance. I yelled at the top of my lungs "HELLO, IS ANYBODY HERE !" I went into the airplane, grabbed all supplies i need. Then i came across a box. I figured out that this is Operation Cloud 9. So i left the airplain, with nothing but a flare. i said to myself to keep my sanity "good thing i have my claws and my braces" I try to fly my way up but then i yell out the most horrific scream ever. I looked at my wing it was nearly torn in half. And my paw is bleeding for some reason. I coulndt feel anything beacuse i was in shock. I still have my med kit, but im low on supplies. as im healing myself, i hear something in the bushes. I think it was one of my teammates. I was wrong... I dont know what it was but it jumped out of the bushes trying to pounce on me. I punched it reapdetly it the face until it was unconsious. I dont know what it was but it had sharp teeth, holes in the feet, had wings and a horn and green eyes. I had to watched my back. so i decided to enter the forest to look for my teammates it was a very long journey, but i think i can handle it. I mean... were all alive aren't we? END OF PART ONE > Demolished > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cloud 9 "Equestria is not the only continent in this world" - Pvt. Lemon As I am walking with barely any supplies left I decided to leave my wing the way it was, and fix my paw to save the other med-kit. Ill need it for later. As i am walking through the forest i realized something. "DEAR GOD WHAT IS THAT SMELL?" I screamed at myself. the floor was sticky and uncomfortable. I felt sick to my stomach I felt like vomiting. Not because of the smell, but because of the pure concentrated fear i feel inside of me. Beacuse there where eggs filled with those things. Where they dead? I just dont know. I was getting more cold by the second for some reason. There was a path with hoof prints, that's probably where they went. I decided to keep my balls and just go in the cold, dark, horrific path. "Dammit its pitch black i cant even see the way i started" I felt life an idiot. I had a flare all along. I only had one though, but i used it anyway. Then i see light on the way forward. It was a flashlight. I heard some moaning. "HELLO" I cried helpless. And in need for support. "IS ANYONE THERE" I yelled again. Then I heard a respond. "LIONHEART IS THAT YOU" said the unknown teammate. I ran towards the stallion. It was Pvt. Lemon. "HOLY MOTHER OF GOD HIMSELF, IT IS YOU." Lemon said. "I asked "What happening to the rest of our team" "something took them some thing inhumane" He said. I said "I'm gonna patch you up, you aint look so hot" "Dont fell hot either" Lemon said. We chuckled. as I patched the wounded soldier, We heard some creature howling. Something... inhumane. "We better hurry, I'm starting to feel insane right now" Said Lemon. I responded "Same." so we decided to postpone the healing for now until we go into the sunlight. We were quiet for a long time. Thank goodness he has a good amount of supplies. When we heard rustling everywhere, he handed me a knife and said "I'm trusting you, Dont get to much blood on sahsa." I couldn't kill it. I Dont even know what it is. but if i Dont, it will kill us instead. So i must hunt or be hunted. Right as it pounced out of the bushes, I yelled with rage and stabbed it in the chest. "Blood isn't red" Lemon said. I started to shake uncontrollably while feeling pain in my arm. "I feel like something impaled me in my back" I said in a gargling voice. "I know that feel bro" He said in a upset voice. "Why are you so sad for some reason" I said. Pvt. Lemon had no expression in his face. just like i did "We better set up camp here before we freeze to death" I said. "Good idea" Just as everything is going great, we hear scary noises. "Oh god why" I said "Shut up and go to sleep, we will need it" said Lemon END OF PART 2
