CHAPTER 2

Zack was awake but he kept his eyes closed. His head was killing him, and on top of that something was on his chest keeping him from taking deep breaths. One of his eyes opened but he wasn't the one that opened it. There was a bright light and a voice.

" OH, so you have changed to. " Jimmy said with a smile.

" Jimmy...GET OFF! " Zack shouted as he threw Jimmy off of him.

Jimmy flipped once and landed on his feet. " Yes stuck the landing! "

" Where are the others? " Zack asked noticing he was in a room with only one bed.

" Don't worry they are fine they are all in the lobby waiting for you to wake up. " Jimmy said.

Zack got out of the bed and noticed he wasn't in his nano suit. " Jimmy where is my nano suit."

" It's right here. " Jimmy said holding it out for Zack.

Zack started to take his gown off when he stopped and looked to Jimmy.

" Oh sorry should I leave. " Jimmy said putting to the door.

Zack shook his head " Nah, it's not that what did you mean by I changed too? " he said putting his nano suit on.

" Go in to the restroom the rest of your clothes are there and you can see what's changed. " Jimmy said walking out of the room.

Zack went to the rest room and put on the black cargo pants and shirt that was there. He looked into the mirror and raised an eyebrow.

" What the hell? "

His hair had changed color it was now white and faded to red at the ends, It was longer too and still straight but now it was spiky. His eyes had changed too, the iris was pure white with black outlines. He put his mask on and left to meet the others.

( Three days earlier in Equestria )

It was quite in the throne room only Fluttershy's cries were heard. Pinkie sat beside her friend holding her and trying to get her to calm down but nothing worked, then they heard shouting.

" Squads two through four search the room. Squad one remove the bodies! "

Pinkie pulled Fluttershy closer to her and moved behind the pillar. She heard whoever was shouting get closer and closer. But then the footsteps stopped. She leaned out from behind the pillar and found herself face to face with one of the weapons that the humans used, a pistol if she remembered correctly . But just as fast as it was in front of her face it was gone.

" Are you ok? " the man asked

Pinkie didn't say anything, in fact she didn't even know what to think.

" Its ok Alpha squad is gone, if you come with me I can get you some medical treatment."

Pinkie's anger got the better of her and she lunged at the human knocking him to the ground and repeatedly hitting him in the face. Then something slammed into her side and pinning her to the ground she tried to get up but something hit her on the side of the head making it bounce off the ground she tried again but felt something cold and metal push her head back down.

" Permission to terminate sir? "

" No... stand down trooper. "

" But sir, she attacked you. "

" Trooper are you questioning my orders? "

" No, sir. "

Pinkie felt the human get off her and stand up. She looked back up to the one she attacked, but before she could say anything Fluttershy had run over to her and held her tight.

" Pinkie stop you can't win. " She said crying.

The human that had kept her alive looked down at them.

" Please follow me. "

" Why should we, four of you just destroyed everything we cared about. " Pinkie said.

" Your right but that was them, the ones here now are here to help rebuild and make this place better . "

" In other words they are here to take control and rule us until you have taken what you want. " Pinkie said glaring at human , he sighed and started to walk off .

" My name is Raze if you wish follow me and I can get you transport to where ever you wish. " Raze said looking back at them.

Pinkie looked at Fluttershy who nodded and they both began to follow Raze. He lead them through the halls of the destroyed castle. They looked around and found the halls covered in blood and bits of other ponies. Fluttershy had to close her eyes half way through. When they reached the court yard they stopped once they saw all of the dead ponies lined in rows. Raze stopped and walked back to them.

" I am guessing some of them your friends. " he said looking down at them.

" Why do you care? " pinkie said her hair was straight now.

" Believe it or I do not agree with the level of death and destruction that Alpha leaves behind. " he said shaking his head .

" So why do you help them? " Fluttershy asked

Raze sighed " Because I have my own world to save. "

" And you think the best way to help it is by destroying others?! " Pinkie shouted back making the nearby troopers jump.

" Where do you wish to go to? " Raze said ignoring Pinkie's outburst.

Pinkie sighed and spoke " Ponyville. "

Raze pulled one of the troopers to him and said "Trooper put these two in a helicopter and bring them back to their home. "

" Yes, Sir... Follow me. " The trooper said motioning for them to follow.

They were brought to a helicopter and helped in. the trooper in the front turned around.

" How do I get back to your homes? "

" Just follow the train tracks it will be the first town... If there is still anything left. " she said as she sat down in one of the seats.

When they began to take off Fluttershy noticed that other helicopters were taking off as well.

" Pinkie look what are they doing? " she asked

The trooper in the seat in front of them spoke up. " Some are going to follow us, to help rebuild your town... The others are going to find other towns and take control. "

It only took twenty minutes for them to reach Ponyville. Parts of the town were still burning and ponies were still looking for loved ones. When the helicopters touch down the troopers dismounted and moved into the city and started to gather the town's population into the town's center. One of the troopers who was wearing clothes like Raze, stepped forward and shouted to the ponies.

" I know you all must still be shaken up by the recent events, but let me reassure you we are no longer trying to hurt you we are here you rebuild and keep order."

One pony stepped forward his face was full of anger. " Why should we listen to you?! It's because of you that we are in this mess!" he turned and faced the crowd of ponies and spoke. " Come on there are more of us then them we can overpower..."

Before he finished the human that was speaking before had pulled out a pistol and shot the pony through the head. Screams went through out the crowd as they moved closer together.

" Let me reword what I said... We are here to help you rebuild and take control, Follow our rules and no harm will come to you. Strike back and you WILL end up dead... Now please, the troopers are here to help so don't be scared to ask for their assistance. " When he finished talking the troopers moved away from the crowd and moved through the town help anypony they saw.

" They are very good actors. " Pinkie said watching them.

" Please Pinkie just don't do anything you're the last friend I have left. " Fluttershy begged her friend.

"Pinkie sighed and hugged her friend. " Don't worry I won't. ".
