CHAPTER 4
(Alpha POV)it was sun set before twilight and three of her friends came back to her house. "Are Applejack and Rarity still with their sisters?" asked Nick. The four ponies found places to sit before Twilight spoke " Yes, both Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle are in comas, both of Sweetie Belle's front legs are broken and a couple of the bones in her chest are broken, the doctors say it will been 8 months before she has fully recovered...but Apple Bloom…" She didn't finish she just started crying. Fluttershy moved over to her and hugged her. " Apple Bloom's spine was destroyed she will never walk again, the doctors are surprised that she even survived." said Rainbow Dash she looked over to Zack who was checking the sights and systems on the Black Widow "You should throw that thing away its too dangerous." she said. Zack looked up at her "What... I can't throw the Black Widow away it's my baby... How would you feel if you had to throw away your wings?" he said. " My wings don't kill three foals and leave two more crippled" she said flying over to him and getting in his face. "You seem upset … Vodka?" Zack said reaching into his bag and pulling out a glass bottle and holding it out to her. She looked at the bottle, then back to Zack. "What is wrong with you don't you care that there are three dead foals?" she said pushing his arm down. Zack looked to the side at the wall and blinked a couple of times before looking back at her. " So that's a no then... Oh well, more for me." he said pulling down his mask and taking a swig from the bottle. Rainbow dash gave up and went back to her seat. Kourtney looked at Zack noticing the scar going down his left eye and ending at the bottom of his jaw. "Echo how did you get that scar" she asked. He put the cap back on the bottle and tossed it to Ty who opened it and started drinking. " From a fight, I won, but didn't come out without a few scars". "It's getting late I am going to head home" Rainbow Dash said. The other ponies stood up and began to walk out saying their good byes to Twilight as they did so. Twilight had gotten over her sadness. "So where do we sleep?" Kourtney asked. "I have a guest bedroom. But it only fits one person." Twilight said. " I think the lady should have it." Nick said. "Aw, such a gentleman." said Ty. Ty stood up and started walking outside "Come with me guys we need to talk." he said. Alpha stood and walked out with him, Twilight stayed inside. When they were all standing by the Humvee. "Alright, time to let you guys in on Alpha squads secondary mission... It's called Order 35 if we cannot get a trade between this world and ours we are to assassinate the leaders of this world and cause as much damage as possible along the way...When their leaders are dead then back up is sent and our job is done as back up takes control." Ty finish. "That's not right. How could The Commander allow something like that I mean earth's resources aren't that bad off are they?" said Kourtney. Nick shook his head " I may not like it but I see why it has to be done." Kourtney leaned against the Humvee "No that isn't right." she said to herself. Zack went to the back and got a duffel bag
.put it on his back and walked over to her "Come with me, you and I have work to do." he said. She looked at him "What are we doing?" she asked. Zack pushed her along "Tell you when we start." and they walked off in to town.
(Zack and Kourtney's POV) Zack led the way through town till they reached the market where they came from at the start of the day. He then walked off down an ally way with Kourtney following close behind. "So are you going to tell me what we are doing?" She asked. He didn't answer he just put the bag on the ground in front of him and started looking through it till he pulled something out. " Is...IS THAT A BOMB?" her voiced raised a little bit. Zack jumped when she raised her voice " Shh! Keep it down woman do you want those damn ponies finding us?... Plus I need to have all my attention on this damn thing or we get blown to hell now keep an eye out." he said turning back to the bomb and placing it on the building. "Ok, follow me." Zack said getting up and moving to the next bomb sit. This went on for a hour or so till they reached their last building. "Finally, last place." Zack said. "Wait... This is the school. What the hell are we doing here?" Kourtney asked. "Same thing we have been doing at all the other places. Preparing it to go boom" Zack said pulling out the last bomb. "But this is a school it's not right. I can put up with the other places, but a school?" Kourtney said hopeful to change Zack's mind. "Quit bitching this is Alpha squad's job this is what you signed up for. This is for the better of our world, to hell with this world we are here to help ours not this one." Zack said standing up. "Plus..." Zack stopped mid sentenced and tilted his head to the side, then ran off out of Kourtney's sight. "Where did he run off to?" she said to herself. Then she heard hoof steps coming her way. A brown pony with a brown mane and a hour glass on its rear end walk around the corner and spotted her. "O I thought I heard voices , what are you doing out at this time of night?" the pony said walking up to her "I can ask you the same thing." Kourtney said trying her best to not look to the bomb or around for Zack. "Well this isn't your town and I don't see anypony with you so I..." before he could finish Zack dropped down from the roof of the building on to the pony knocking him unconscious. "And where did you go?" asked Kourtney, Zack picked the pony up and started walking to the edge of the forest they saw. Kourtney started walking after him "Where are you going?" she asked. "We can't kill him in town it would be too loud... It would wake them all up." Zack said still walking to the forest. "He is unconscious we could just dump him somewhere in town he will think it's just a bad dream". Zack stopped and turn to face her "Where's the fun in that?" he said then started walking again. Kourtney kept following him. They stopped a good way into the forest. Zack pulled some rope from his bag and tied the pony up just before it woke up and spoke "Ugh... Where am I?... Why am I tied up? What's going on?" the pony tried to break free from the rope but Zack quickly kicked him in the face ending his attempts. Zack took out his machete and walked up to Kourtney, he held out the machete to Kourtney, he looked her in the eyes, his usual uncaring eyes now had a look of determination and focus, he spoke "Kill him…" Kourtney stood there in shock she had killed before but this was different the pony was a civilian and on top of that they didn't even need to kill him. " We can't do this it's not right he is a civilian." she said trying to change his mind. The pony was trying to get out of the ropes again he had worried eyes looking at Zack " She's right. Please if you let me go I won't tell anyone." he said. Zack raised his foot and brought it down on the pony's head
"Shut it you have no say in this." he looked back to Kourtney. "Kourtney you once killed 50 enemy troops and scalped them... you can kill a civilian…" he said. "But that was in a blood rage, I didn't have control over what I was doing." She said. "See the thing about a blood rage is not the fact you don't have control it's that fact you lose the ability to care what harm comes your way and you do the things you wanted to do all a long you wanted to kill those men from the start your squad dying just gave you the push you needed to go over the edge, you know it and so did the government that's why you were sent to the loony been...admit it I'm right." Kourtney looked away damn it he is right I wanted to do it and I want to do it again she thought to herself. She looked back, grabbed the machete and walked to the pony. The pony went wide eye and tried to get away but the ropes keep him from going very far
"No please stay away… You don't have to do this you can..." He never finished. Kourtney had grabbed him by his mane and ran the blade across his face drawing a line of blood, she started cutting the top part of his head off. He was screaming the whole time, when she was done he was still conscious and crying no longer screaming. Zack was leaning on a tree arms folded across his chest "God, he's crying like a baby... Finish it." he said. Kourtney's only response was to lift the pony's head and run the blade across his neck cutting it open. His eyes rolled up into his head and his body went limp. Kourtney walked over to Zack and gave him back his weapon.
She looked in his eyes they were back to their uncaring self "Welcome to the dark side... How's it feel?" he said as he pulled some cloths out of his bag. " I can't really say…" she said then noticed he was holding out cloths to her. "What's this for?" she asked "Your covered in blood unless you want to freak everyone out you will need to change cloths." he said. Kourtney hadn't noticed that fact till she looked down and saw herself covered in blood, she went behind a tree and changed. "So what do we do with the body?" she said, Zack just started walking away and said "Let the forest take it I am sure some predators will eat it." and they started walking back to the town.
(Ty and Nick POV) Ty and Nick stayed by the Humvee and watched Zack and Kourtney walk off. Nick turned to Ty and said "What is he doing?" " He is going to prepare for order 35... They'll be back in about an hour or so." Ty said as they walked into Twilight's house.
(Twilight POV) Twilight looked up from a book that she had been reading when Grizzly and Red walked in. "Where are Echo and Hawk Eye?" she asked noticing the two missing Alpha members. Grizzly and Red sat down. "They are just going for a walk around town." said Ty. "Oh I didn't know they were..." Twilight started but Grizzly cut her off "No, no, nothing like that they are just going for a walk Echo may not have looked it but the deaths of those children kinda got to him." That shocked Twilight she thought Echo didn't care, that he was some kinda psychopath that enjoyed killing even if it was foals but now she was told he did care. They each sat in the house doing their own things for an hour, Twilight reading her book and Grizzly and Red chatting. When Echo and Hawk Eye came in. "Wow looks like so much fun in here." said Echo walking over to the couch he had slept on earlier and Hawk Eye went off to the guest bedroom. "Have a fun date, Echo?" Grizzly said with a smug look on his face. "Oh, ha, ha, go fuck yourself. " Echo said raising his hand with his middle finger up and the others down.
"What does the gesture mean?" she asked . "It's a nonverbal way of saying: 'fuck you'." said Red.
"If you all are squad mates why are you so rude to each other?" She asked Echo. "Same reason brothers pick on each other." he said. Grizzly looked at his watch "It's late we should go to bed... tomorrow is going to be a big day." he said and the other two found places to sleep and began to fall asleep. Twilight walked over to Echo "Echo would it be alright if I look at your armor?" she asked his only response was to toss his helmet to her, she caught it with her magic and smiled with joy. "Have fun." he said as he fell asleep.
(Alpha POV) It was the next morning and Alpha was up before Twilight and getting their gear on. They waited for Twilight to wake up. When she finally came down the stairs with Spike close behind all of the squad was in their full gear. "What are we going to a battlefield?" Twilight asked. None in the group looked like they were in a good mood. " Geez you all seem in a good mood." said Spike. "Well our day has a 50/50 chance to be really good or really bad so we aren't going to be happy about it" Ty said. "Well the Princesses will most likely come here so I am going to get my friends and bring them here. Will you please wait here?" she asked "Sure why not." Red said. It was 30 minutes before the ponies came back. When they did, Rainbow Dash gave Zack the death glare before finding a place to sit." Well good morning to you to Sunshine. Did you have sweet dreams?" Zack said reaching over to pat her on the head but she slapped his hand away "Oh touchy." Zack said. "So when will the princess be here?" Ty asked. "They should be here soon maybe around noon." Twilight said. The next few hours were waited in an awkward silence. Till Pinkie Pie looked out the window " THEY'RE HERE!" she yelled happily and they all walked out to greet the Princesses. A golden chariot pulled by to white ponies with wings in golden armor landed in front of the group followed by six more winged guards. Alpha squad moved to the front of the ponies and stood at attention, Ty, Nick and Kourtney had their rifles ready and Zack had his M-99 saber. Two ponies stepped off the chariot, One larger pony, pure white with a multi colored mane and a sun on her flank. And a smaller one (but still taller than the other ponies) a dark blue pony with a dark blue mane and a crescent moon on her flank. The two ponies walked over to twilight and her friends they were flanked by guards. "Twilight my faithful student I heard what happen yesterday I am truly sorry about it." The white one said directing the last part to Applejack and Rarity. "Thank you Princess." they both said. The Princesses walk over in front of Alpha squad . "And you four must be the humans. What are your names?" The white one asked. "We are Alpha squad, our names are Grizzly, Echo, Red, and Hawk Eye." Ty said pointing to each of them as he said their names. " My name is Princess Celestia and this is my sister Luna, and together when rule over this land." Celestia said.
As she finished she walk over to Echo and glared at him and said "Echo, So you're are the one that caused the deaths of three foals and the crippling of two others". " To be fair I was not the one that pulled the trigger in fact I had my gun stolen from me and had no role in what happened" "And how was it that three foal managed to work alien technology?" she asked. "I don't know all I know is my gun was stolen and fired." Zack said. "Sister he isn't lying the one called Scootaloo already said they took his gun without asking" said Luna. "That is true I am sorry for the rudeness I just showed you." Celestia said.
"Meh." was all Zack said. "Who is the leader of your squad." Celestia asked. "That would be me princess." said Ty stepping in front of the group. Celestia moved to him and spoke "And why is it you came to our world?" she asked. "Our world is running out of resources, without a new supply it will die we came here in hopes of setting up a Trade between our worlds." "Can I ask you some questions about your world first." she asked Ty nodded. "How far ahead is world in terms of development?" she asked "Our world has built towns and cities over most of it, we have almost no forests and the ones we have are very little." Ty answered. " Is there crime on your planet?" she asked . "Yes there is crime." Ty said "And what about war?" she asked. "Yes there have been many wars two of which the whole world was involved." said Ty "Are there still wars?" ask Celestia. "Not wars but there is a lot of fighting." said Ty. Celestia nodded her head and started walking back to the chariot her sister and the guards followed . They got on and turned to Alpha " I will not have our world to do with anything with yours so please leave and never return." said Celestia. Zack pulled out a detonator. "You don't seem to understand we are not leaving without this worlds resources, Echo execute Order 35" Ty said . "Thank god this place need a little remodeling" said Echo pushing the detonator. Large explosions ripped through ponyville leaving it in flames, the echo of screams could be heard. " You... How could you?" Twilight said tears filling up in her eyes. All of the ponies were shocked as they saw the town in flames. "Now where were we?... Oh yes… Negotiations…" said Ty, as Alpha raised their weapons to the ponies .
