For a couple months Celestia and I had been working on making a magic input for the A-10 and we failed a great many times... And sometimes almost took the entire planet with us but that's another story for later. But also over those months I adopted the little Timberwolve and ironically named him timber. Or Tim for short. Also over those months can crystal got a lot bigger and now she was up to my waist in height and I remember reading a book about the. When she gets bigger she will have to lay over 100 eggs in a secluded area and wait for them to hatch. Once they hatch the mother needs to have enough food for them all. Or the mother gives herself to feed the hatchlings. I really hoped she would survive because they can live to be over 5000 years old. She had actually started to create some caverns from a cave hidden in the forest and I may not know where it leads but I do know that I will be happy for her when she becomes a mother. Also over those few months I learned some more about the history of Equestria that I didn't know about from the show. Like the reason why Pegasus need to control the weather and how it all began, also the great Alicorn and dragon war, and finally the history of the sun and moon movers. I must say that every single story sounded great but I think I loved the war the most. Don't ask me how or why but I do. Also when I finally retrieved the M113 I was glad to say that it was all unharmed as well and as soon as I brought it back Celestia made all of the vehicles fuel independent and I had immediately thanked her for it and every time she just smiled and then walked away. Also I must say that thanks to Celestia we were now finalizing the final project for the magic input. I just hope I never have to use it or else I would be so fucking mad. The drawback of using it is when the magic runs out the entire plane goes haywire and crashes but does not explodes for some reasons. Also the reason why we have been taking so long is because we have been trying to get rid of that side effect but we still couldn't so we put it in as a failsafe and only to be used in dire times. I had actually just finished hooking it up and I hope to god that this time it doesn't catch fire as I put my hand onto it. As soon as I looked at Celestia who nodded and I nodded back I took in a deep breath and I put my hand onto the input and immediately there were a lot of differences. First of all which is the most obvious the entire plane turned golden and it was radiating a golden aura. Secondly I noticed that for some reason it said I was full on missiles but when I checked there were none on the plane so I pushed the launch button and multiple golden missiles appeared and went flying into the first where they all exploded and I looked at Celestia amazed as she levitated over a target in front of the plane and I opened fire with the gun and as soon as the first one hit it instantly disintegrated and I just made a big yell of success as Celestia smiled and as soon as I got out the gold had disappeared and we were smiling together. "Daaaaan..." She said.
"Whaaaaat?" I asked in a playful tone.
"I think you should finally be announced to Equestria." And with that I froze.
"But what if they all don't like me and just try and kill me?" I asked her and her only frowned.
"Then there will be guards. I trust you won't try and kill any of them." She said cocking her head and I only smiled.
"I won't kill them if they don't get past the guards. If they do no promises." She only smiled.
"That is all that I wish for." She said with a smile.
"So how we going to show myself?" I asked her.
"How about a parade of Equestria army?" She asked and I only smiled.
"Only as long as I can fly close to the ground and scare the crowd a little bit with this baby." I said as I patted the side of the A-10 and she only smiled.
"That actually was the plan Dan."
"Oh god please don't rhyme. You remind me of a creepy teacher I had during school." She only laughed at that and when she calmed down we started to plan.
Few days later
After a few days and after she gave the announcement of a parade I had to teach multiple guards how to drive the M113's and they caught on rather quickly. We were actually currently in Manehatten at the moment and as soon as she gave the signal the army started the parade as I waited for the magic bolt from the safety of the A-10 in the air. It must of been an hour before I finally was given the signal and I went in for a run through the long street and there was even a turn in the middle and as I went in I could see the looks of fear on all the pony's faces as I went in and pulled up about 4 feet above their heads and I flew over them all and as I came up on the turn I took in a deep breath as I then at the last moment made the turn and I was sent down the other way and I thrust my fist upwards as I came to the end of the city and I slowly landed the A-10 and as soon as I got out I got to my spot next to Celestia. "Citizens of Equestria! I give you all Daniel hooker. A human and ally to Equestria and the owner of all of these machines." Celestia yelled and they all remained silent and unmoving. I then leaned in and whispered to her.
"I think you broke them." I said and then they all started to cheer and she only smiled at me as I then smiled back and she began her very boring speech.
Over the month I had done this in all of the towns and cities and right now was just about to do it in the place I remembered the best from the show as it was the main setting... Ponyville. This one I had to be far out because there were hardly any large buildings in Ponyville so as I just flew around I noticed several large things moving towards the town. As I took a closer gander I then noticed what they all were and it was like there was an army of them... Manticores. Shit! As soon as I saw them I started to fly towards the town when suddenly gunfire erupted around me coming from behind me and as I looked I was being attacked by several bogeys. "You all want to go? Let's go!" I yelled as I faked them out and I was now behind them. I actually had a feeling this was going to happen at some point so I pressed a red button sending out a red flare saying in trouble but then I fired a green and brown one as well to signify on the ground and air. I hope to god that they at least see the brown one and if they don't I'm going to be fucking pissed. As I opened fire on them I realized I should have had Celestia place a permanent duplication spell onto the guns so I had intimate ammo. But sadly I didn't. As I continued to open fire they were dodging and weaving and making it hard for me to hit them until I finally hit one of them in the right wing and they spun out of control and crashed into one of its buddy's. "HELL YEAH!" I yelled as I then started to fire on the last three of them. And that was when I saw the markings... The same markings on the planes that had attacked the base... And that made me fucking mad. "SO YOU ALL THOUGHT YOU COULD GET INTO MY AIRSPACE AND SURVIVE? YOU! THOUGHT! WRONG!" I yelled as I then started a risky maneuver of crashing and I started to spin around it random directions causing bullets to go flying everywhere and as I hoped for them to at least hit on of them my hopes were achieved as I hit one of them and then another and I watched as they crashed into each other and I stopped the tactic and I started to hunt down the last fighter. As I started to follow him this guy was as good as the guy that had killed my entire team, well almost entire team. As he dodged my bullets left and right eventually I saw a couple bullets go into his engine and he exploded in the air and I only smiled for a second before I remembered the manticore and I then turned the plane around and headed straight towards the town. As I flew over the town I saw that the M113 and the Stryker had all been put into a square as a defense against the manticore. As I came in and quickly landed I grabbed my carbine and then my land gear and as soon as it was on I charged the small army of Manticores. As I gunned down one after another soon my gun was smashed by one of their scorpion tails and as I rolled back I pulled out my combat knifes as I skidded to a stop and I then threw my first knife and it impaled itself into its head and as I pulled out my knife I ran into the barricade. "GET ALL THE FOALS INTO THD M113'S!" I yelled and as the guards all nodded and they started to put all the foals into the transports and as soon as I ran towards an opening I was smacked right back into it and my back collided quite hard with the side of a transport before I fell onto my ass a few feet down. As I looked up a manticore was slowly walking towards me, the guards were all helping the civilians, and princess Celestia was nowhere to be seen. So this is how I'm going out huh? Just... Fucking... Great... As it pulled back its paw this time with its claws out I braced myself to die but the swing never came and when I opened my eyes I saw that several of the civilians had grabbed spears and swords and were keeping the manticore away from me as three of them started to help me up. One of them was lime green, another was yellow, and another was red. As they helped me up I picked up one of my knifes and threw it straight at the manticore and implanted in its skull and I then trudged over and pull my knife out and I then pulled out several more throwing knifes and held the blades between my fingers leaving 4 in each hand and I then started to spin around, and started to release the knifes as a target came into view. As I spun around I let go of my first and second knife causing them both to go flying and implant into two Manticores heads and as I spun around I released another and it went into its mane and it fell to the ground and a blood pool started to be made where it was and as I came around a knife slipped from my grasp and I somehow killed a minotaur with it as I then saw one fall to the ground and I then released my last two throwing knifes and they implanted and got stuck in a approaching Manticores mane. As I then ran at it and I picked up a fallen guards sword and I rolled to avoid a slash at me and I then stabbed it through its mane as it roared out in pain as I only twisted the sword and then it fell on top of me. After a few minutes of me struggling some guards and some of the civilians ran over and helped lift the manticore body off of me and I then thanked each one of them as I watched the guards open up the transports and the foals all ran out and ran to their parents and I only smiled at that. "Thank you sir for helping us." The yellow mare from before said.
"I am an ally and the defender of peace in Equestria." I said and they all smiled. "Daniel hooker at your service." I said as I bowed to them all but they smiled. "What happened to Celestia?"
"As orders are given a long time ago in the state of an attack in Ponyville when the princess is visiting then she is immediately teleported to Canterlot and a spell is place so nopony could travel in or out of where she is." I only nodded at that as I smiled.
"Well that is a good plan. I'm going into the forest to see what has them all worked up. I need several guards and a M113 to come with me." With that the guard nodded and ran over to some other guards and I walked and collected my throwing knifes and as soon as I walked back and got into the driver seat of one of the M113's and I started to drive towards the forest. "Keep your weapons ready. I rather not be surprised in here and lose anyone." I yelled as we went through a little river and then stopped when we reached the other side and as we all got out I ran over and checked the tracks… and they were fresh. "All of these tracks are fresh and look like they were just made so keep an eye out for- didn't we have 5 guards instead of four?" they all started to look around then soon got scared. "Shiiiiit this is like we are in a fucking horror map… fuck… okay here's the thing. We stick together the entire time and watch each other's backs." They nodded as we started to follow the tracks through the forest and we kept on watching each other's backs the farther and farther we got into the forest. "Anybody spot anything?" I asked keeping my carbine raised.
"No sir."
"Nope."
"Nadda."
"…"
"Did we just fucking lose another one?" I asked turning around to find that we did. "These mother fuckers are smarter than us for fucks sake. From now on every few minutes I am going to ask for a head count and I need you all to tell me how many we have got it?" I said pointing to the guard directly behind me who only nodded and we continued once more through the forest. I spotted a lot of markings of Manticores coming and going the way we currently were going. I just wish I brought my shotgun gauntlet for the forest. I know every single danger inside of here or I think I do and Manticores are not that high on the dangerous list. "Head count." I then said as we walked.
"Three sir." He answered me.
"Counting me?" I then asked.
"Then four sir." I only smiled. At least we didn't lose another one yet. This is like fucking Jurassic park but with an evil forest and not dinosaurs and ponies instead of humans. Well technically I am a human but who cares at the moment. As we all reached a river it was shallow enough for us to me able to cross it without any problems. But as we got into the middle of it I heard a loud splash and when I turned around one of the guards was being dragged down. "SHIT!" I yelled as I opened fire near the guard trying to kill whatever had grabbed him and when he got free the guards all made a run for the other side that we were going through and when I started to run soon I was grabbed by the same thing. As I was pulled underwater I could see what had grabbed me and I saw that it didn't have teeth but its body was coming from a hole which several more were coming out of towards me and it was crystal clear so it was hard to see it. As I kicked it with my foot I was about to lose my breath when a spear came down and impaled the creature and as I stood back up I grabbed the guard that had saved me and we ran straight to the other side and as soon as we got there we all sat down breathing hard. "They didn't show those fucking things in the show." I muttered as I breathed in and out. "Anyone else agree we should call them water snatchers?" I asked and they all nodded in agreement as we then continued our way after I grabbed my carbine and reloaded it quickly. I now had only 3 mags left not counting the one currently in the gun. "Who else thinks that whatever these Manticores are afraid of is a lot bigger then we imagined?" they all raised their hooves. I was now traveling in the back to watch them all as we continued down a beaten path through the forest.
"Sir?" I looked at the guard that had wanted me.
"Yes?" I then asked him.
"What can you tell us about your life?" he then asked me as the other guards looked at me and nodded.
"Let's see here…
When I was just in middle school with my little brother I never knew the life he had when he wasn't always with me. It all had happened one day like a fire immediately burning a leave. After my third class of the day I walked out to find my brother being bullied by several bigger kids and I had gotten very mad that I only watched for a bit to get a good reason to get into a fight. "You know that you are our bitch right?" one of the larger boys had said.
"Yes I know." My brother then quickly said.
"Then make sure you get our homework done first this time bitch. And also tell your bitchy family to go fuck themselves more often." And that was when I had rounded the corner and I gave the boy a mean right hook to the face as he fell onto the ground with a nose broken and as the other two tried to hit me I had kicked them both in the dick causing them to fall onto the ground as I then rushed over to my brother and I brought him to his next class and I told him to stay in the classroom until I came to get him and he agreed to it. For several weeks I did this to make sure he stayed safe until one fateful day… one very fateful day… on just a normal school day me and my brother was walking to his PE class when gunfire started to rang through the halls from the direction we were going as students came running from that direction and I then saw them. It was the three boys I had hurt when my brother had been getting bullied and when they saw us they smiled an evil grin as they opened fire on us so I quickly pulled him into a classroom near us and I closed the door and found him with a bullet in his left leg. As I quickly bandaged him up with some of the drape on the window they started to knock on the door as I then told him to hide under the desk while I opened the window to fake us escaping and I then hid inside of the closet near the door as they burst down the door and looked around the room with a frown when they ran over to the window and got the fact that we had run off and as they walked towards the door my brother picked that time to move causing the desk to move and the three boys all smiled as they walked over and all three of them flipped the desk with a very worried Liam under it as he now backed himself up against the wall and I then watched as they all produced a knife and as I then burst out of the closet with the intention to save Liam they had turned around from the surprise giving me enough time to knock one of their guns and then take it from one of their hands and I then shot the boy that no longer had a gun killing him instantly. As the other two jumped me with knifes soon I killed another one but then I was stabbed in my right shoulder causing me to yell out in pain as he only laughed as he kicked the gun out of my hand and he then held a pistol to my head when gunfire went off and I thought I was dead until the boy slumped onto my body dead and I then noticed Liam holding a gun shaking as he then dropped it and fell to his knees crying and as soon as I got the body off of me I rushed to my brothers side and I started to comfort him as the police came charging into the room with their weapons raised only to put them down after they saw us. My brother was taken to the hospital and so was I."
"What happened after that?"
"Well the families of the three boys all tried to have me thrown into jail for killing their sons but due to it being an act of self-defense I got out free and so did my brother."
"Now that is deep." Another one of them said as I nodded and then a roar came out as we all pointed our weapons towards the path only to start running at what we saw.
"NOW THAT IS SOME BIG ASS DRAGON!" I yelled as I opened fire at it while still running only to land a couple bullets into its body as it continued charging at us. As we reached the river we had all quickly ran through it not giving a chance to the water snatchers to grab us as we continued to run. "AT LEAST WE NOW FUCKING KNOW WHY ALL THE MANTICORES WERE RUNNING!" I yelled as I could see the end of the forest and as we exited the forest all the guards ran over and started to evac the civvies while I jumped into my A-10 and started her up. As it slowly came online I could see the dragon was getting near Ponyville as I then took off at the end of the street and I turned towards the mother fucker. "TAKE THIS MO-FO!" I yelled as I opened fire with the machine guns on it as it roared out in pain and then it had to spread its wings and it took off after me and it then breathed fire at me. "SHIT!" I yelled as I narrowly avoided the stream of fire as I then did a quick turn and fired some missiles at it only to have them have no effect against its skin as it let loose another stream of fire which I again narrowly avoided but it still slipped my wing. "Looks like I'm going nitro… or magic in this case!" I yelled as I placed my left hand onto the device and then it started to fuel my magic into the place causing my plane to turn gold as I then turned back towards the dragon. "LETS SEE YOU NOT GET DAMAGED BY THIS!" I yelled as I opened fire with everything at the dragon only to have it start spurting out blood as I yelled out still firing everything when it start to fall into the ground in the forest and as soon as I took off my hand my plane went haywire and started to spin in the sky towards the forest. "Sorry Celestia…" I then said as my plane then crashed into the forest and I passed out from the impact.
