Battleship Leonidas
Danny and Ritchy had made their way to the escape pods undetected within thirty-five minutes but the pods were being guarded by humanoids with heat sensors meaning if they were in range of the heat scanner they would be caught.
"Shit! Cpl stay hidden they have heat sensors" Danny said over his radio to Ritchy. The two hid behind a pile of boxes and hoped for the humanoids to leave but they never did.
"Damn, Cpl we may have to have to take them down they are not moving" Danny said regretfully.
"But the Captains orders were non-lethal takedowns only" Ritchy objected.
"I know what the captain said but we have no choice! There are too many to do use non-lethal takendowns and we don't have time to wait for them to move" Danny explained.
"We must be patient, they will move" Ritchy replied.
"Dammit Ritchy, if we wait to long the spell will wear off and we wont have the escape pod to get Tony out" Danny objected.
"Just hold your damn horses! They will move" Ritchy said confidently as he felt a jolt go up his body.
"Damn what was that?" Ritchy asked.
"What?" Danny asked.
"Something just shocked me, nevermind it was probably nothing" Ritchy said as the humanoid patrol began to move out of the room. "See Daniel? I told you they would move" Ritchy said in a smug way. Danny hated when people called him Daniel.
"Whatever" Danny said as he made his way to an escape pod and began dismantling the tracking device on it which took nearly twenty minutes. Ritchy was standing guard when he saw a familiar unicorn walk past.
"Rarity" Ritchy said as he began to move toward her but before he could get out Danny grabbed him and brought him down.
"What the hell are you doing? You almost gave away our position!" Danny scolded.
"But I saw Rarity and I can't leave her here!" Ritchy cried. "I have to go get her"
"Listen corporal I know you care for her but-" Danny began to say.
"Thats easy for you to say! Twilight isn't being controlled by a freak from another world!" Ritchy interrupted. Danny couldn't help but agree with him, he was lucky Twilight didn't get possessed. Rarity had taken notice of the voices so she walked over to where Danny and Ritchy were.
"Shit don't say a word!" Danny whispered to Ritchy who were still invisible from Twilight's spell. Rarity moved so close to Ritchy he was nearly staring at her in the eyes and could hear her breathing.
"Those dreaded humans must be playing mind tricks on me, I better go get my superiors" Rarity said as she trotted away to find humanoids and hydra troops.
"FUCK!" Danny said as he realized Rarity was going to get Hydra backup. Danny called Iverson on his radio. "Sir we gotta problem, the hydra may be aware of our presence here"
"We got Tony, do you have the escape pod?" Iverson asked.
"Yeah" Danny replied.
"Well hurry up" Iverson said as he slowly became visible again. "Time just ran out"
50 minutes earlier
Michael and Twilight impatiently waited at the cave they were hiding in. Twilight was worried about Danny and Michael was frustrated he couldn't be with his team.
"Twilight I was wondering, how come the other eight elements were never found?" Michael asked trying to pass the time.
"It is said that the other eight are so powerful that nopony, not even an alicorn, can wield them" Twilight explained.
"So how will we be able to wield them?" Michael asked.
"You guys are all strong, much stronger than us ponies I'm positive you can wield the elements" Twilight said. "James might even be able to hole the Element of Love"
"Why do you say that?" Michael asked.
"Because the Element of Love is said to be the single most powerful element of them all and that only someone of incredible strength and goodness can hold it" Twilight said. "James is powerful and I have seen the goodness in his heart"
"Wait did you hear that?" Michael said as he heard footsteps outside.
"Is it Danny and the others?" Twilight asked hopefully.
"I don't think so they have only been gone for ten minutes" Michael said as he picked up his sniper rifle and aimed it at the entrance. Michael heard a roar and he immediately backed up.
"I think there is a hydra outside" Michael said nervously he was in no condition to fight with his broken arm. Suddenly a monster with a lion's head and scorpion tail charged into the cave roaring.
"WORSE! IT'S A MANTICORE!" Twilight cried as Michael nearly avoided getting eaten. Twilight's magic had all been used up and she needed time for it to build up again so she had no defense against the carnivore. Michael began firing round after round into the beasts legs in an attempt to disable it. Eventually the manticore fell from it's injuries.
"I-i-is it d-dead?" Twilight asked fearfully.
"No, just injured" Michael said as he walked up to the manticore and started tending to the injuries. Twilight could see why Fluttershy liked Michael so much, the two shared much in common. Michael than helped the creature up and led out of the cave and gave it a chunk of his ration meat.
"Michael are you sure that's a good idea? He tried to kill us!" Twilight yelled.
"He was just hungry and looking for food, something we all must do" Michael said as he felt a jolt go up his body. He was about to say something before he decided it was probably nothing.
"I hope the others are doing alright" Michael said.
Battleship Leonidas
Iverson, Navarro, Tommy Dean, and Andy all began their search for Tony as Danny and Ritchy went to secure an escape pod
"Sir the map says Tony is down three decks and in medical bay 02" Tommy Dean said looking at a radar.
"Alright lets move. Remember, no sounds at all" Iverson ordered as the humans made their way undetected to Tony's position. Even though they were invisible, it took nearly forty-five minutes to get to their destination. When they arrived at Tony's room they all saw Rainbow Dash sitting in there.
"Shit! Sir we have a contact in the room" Navarro said.
"Is it hydra? If it is just kill it" Iverson said.
"It's Rainbow Dash" Navarro said.
"Damn how are we gonna get past her?" Tommy Dean asked.
"Just sneak up behind her and knock her out" Navarro suggested.
"From what Tony has told me. She is very fast and a strong fighter, plus with the Soulripper's influence I don't think she'll be knocked out after one hit" Andy said.
"Not if I do it" Iverson said.
"Sir with your strength you might kill her if you hit her too hard" Andy said.
"I wont hit her hard, just a little tap" Iverson said as he slowly snuck up behind the pegasus. Iverson had to be careful, if he hit her too hard he would completely crush her head. Iverson hit her with a tenth of his full strength and she was out cold. Iverson quickly checked to see if she was still breathing and she was but he saw a large bump already forming where he hit her and hoped he didn't cause too much damage.
"Nice hit sir" Navarro said as he went to unchain Tony.
"Damn he really took a beating! Who the hell did this to him?" Andy said angered that someone hurt his brother so badly. Tony's face was almost completely purple and black from all the bruises. His ribs looked they had been hit too but no serious internal damage.
"We'll worry about that later let's just get him out of here first" Iverson said as they began to take Tony down. Tommy Dean looked out the window and saw ponies coming their way.
"Sir there are ponies coming in here!" Tommy Dean shouted as a group of Royal Guards led by Princess Luna made their way to Tony's room. The humans immediately went and hid Rainbow Dash and held Tony up against the wall to make it seem he was still in chains. Since the humans were invisible, no one would notice.
"Wake up scum!" A Royal Guard shouted to an unconscious Tony. Luna came closer and was standing right in front of Navarro who couldn't bear to look her in the eye. Navarro made a vow that he would save her as a tear rolled down his eye.
"So this is the human who defies our great master?" Luna said. Andy suddenly felt the first stages of a sneeze beginning to develop.
"NO! NO! NO! Of all the worst possible times!" Andy thought as he tried to suppress the sneeze but to no avail. He thanked his lucky stars when Luna and the guards left allowing him to let out his sneeze.
"Damn that was a close one" Andy said as they waited for Danny and Ritchy to radio back. Navarro collapsed on the ground and out his hand to his head.
"You alright LT?" Tommy Dean asked.
"She looked right at me, like she was calling for help" Navarro said. "I have to save her"
"In due time lieutenant, in due time" Iverson replied as his helmet radio sparked up.
"Sir we gotta problem, the hydra may be aware of our presence here" Danny said over the radio.
"We got Tony, do you have the escape pod?" Iverson asked.
"Yeah" Danny replied. Iverson looked as his hand and the other humans became visible once more.
"Well hurry up time just ran out" Iverson said as he became completely visible.
What are these jolt and shocks everyone is getting? who knows. R&R
