Chapter 4

As Pinkie Pie and the others planned the party, War Zone decided to look around town.

'I wonder how many ponies live here. There might be a good thousand for a town this size.' War Zone thought as he wondered the streets.

"Watch out!" A voice cried out from behind him. War Zone jumped up grab the pony behind him and threw them over his shoulder.

"OW! What was that for?!" A Cyan pegasus with a rainbow colored main cried out.

"Sorry. Sorry force of habit." War Zone replied while backing from the filly.

"Who are you? I haven't seen you around here before and that's not the armor of the Royal Guard. "The pegasus asked while standing up.

"I'm Sergeant War Zone of my countries Elite Royal Guard. May ask for your name?" War Zone replied smoothly as if he has said it a thousand times before.

"I'm Rainbow Dash, The fastest pegasus in all of Equestria." The filly replied while spreading her wings and lifting her self off the ground and into the air, "What country are you from?"

"I'm from The Republic of Species." War Zone answered while staring at the filly in the air.

"So why are you here?" Rainbow Dash asked while rotating slowly in the air.

"I was sent here with a small group of soldiers to ask your Princess for help." War Zone replied simply while spreading his wings and leaping into the air to fly away.

"What's going on in your country and where's the rest of your group?" The cyan pegasus asked as she stopped rotating and faced her new friend.

"There's a rebellion. The rest of my group was killed a few days ago." War Zone stated simply while flying away in a random direction.

"Hey! Wait Up!" Rainbow Dash called after him. All of a sudden, he shot forward with an amazing amount of speed.

'Now to finish looking around.' War Zone thought as he flew over the small town.

"On second thought." he said as he turned his head and neared a cloud. As he landed on the cloud, a yawn escaped him.

'Man I'm tired.' he thought as he lay down atop the cloud. Sleep quickly came over him as he rested his head. All he dreamt about was his dead brother and friends. Hours passed as he slept on the large cloud. When he woke from his sleep, he did a quick scan of the area around him and noticed the sun was quickly setting and the moon was rising.

"Their Princess must be powerful. She can raise the moon and lower the sun with ease. She'll defiantly be able to help my country.' War Zone thought as he watched the sun set in the distance. As he lay down to go back to sleep he noticed he was not the only pegasus on the cloud. He turned to see whom it was only to find a rainbow colored mane. He quickly backed away only to fall off the cloud. As he plummeted towards the ground, he looked up to the cloud he once laid upon and sighed. He turned his head towards the ground and shot his wings out just inches above the ground. While gliding towards a random destination a large dark object rammed into him. He quickly retaliated and flew right into the beings side only to bounce off it. The large beast rammed into him again so War Zone launched himself higher into the air and dove straight down into the beasts back causing it too abruptly drop altitude and crash into the ground.

"What was that?" He spoke to himself as he neared the ground. As soon as his hoofs touched the ground, pain shot through his body. He looked down at his body to discover a large gash in his side where the beast had hit him.

'Ow. Alright I need to get to a hospital.' War Zone thought as he began to walk towards the town. As he neared, the town the pain intensified to the point where he could not walk any further. He collapsed on the outskirt off the town.

'Damn. I almost made it.' He thought as his world went dark.

-Time Skip-

*Beep, Beep, Beep*

'What's that noise?' War Zone thought as he came to,

'Where am I?'

"What happened to him? A voice spoke up with a posh accent.

"I don't know I found him on the outskirts of town." Another voice spoke up this one being rougher than the last.

"What happened?" War Zone spoke up as he opened his eyes.

"I don't know. I found you unconscious and bleeding on the outer reaches of town." Rainbow Dash answered as she stared at him her eyes full of worry.

"Oh yeah, I was attacked by something. I fought it off, landed and started to walk towards town." War Zone said aloud, "Last thing I remember is seeing a small hut."

"You mean Zecora's hut." Rarity spoke up.

"I think so." War Zone replied, "I also recall backing off of the cloud when I saw you alongside me."

"Oh, sorry about that, I didn't see you there." Rainbow Dash replied while rubbing the back of her neck.

"Don't worry bout it. I was just startled be your presence." War Zone replied as he started to pull himself out of the hospital bed.

"What are you doing? You need to stay down your injured." Rarity said as she ran over and pushed War Zone onto the bed.

"I'm fine. I have had worse done to be in basic training. I'll be out of here by days end." War Zone replied as he stood up and walked towards the door.
