Chapter three
Author notes: I prewrote this story so I'm just doing a daily update. These next few chapters I feel are sort of cheesy… but if you stick with it, it might get better for you.:3
Shawn woke gasping for air. He finally removed his mask, "where am I" he asked. He looked around and saw he was in a room with a window and two beds. But the other was bed was occupied and when he looked closer he saw the enemy fighter pilot laying there, he groaned and sat up slowly. He too looked like he didn't know where he was, but when his eyes locked with Shawn. He glared hate at Shawn and Shawn glared back, "you son of a bitch! You killed my friends" he yelled at the pilot.
"likewise American dog" the pilot said back.
"why you" Shawn said as he lunged at the pilot knocking him down. The pilot pulled out a knife from his boot and tried to stab Shawn in the chest but Shawn grabbed the hand that held the knife. The two rolled around on the ground wrestling for control of the knife. Shawn finally got on top of the pilot shoving the knife downwards. The pilot was struggling to keep the knife away from his throat.
"stop" a voice ranged out from the door. Shawn was thrown against the wall and held there by some kind of invisible force, the same thing happened to the pilot being thrown against the opposite wall.
Shawn dropped the knife as he hit the wall. He struggled to get free but found it useless. He looked at the figure in the doorway as it walked into the room. It was a tall winged unicorn with a flowing rainbow mane and tail, a golden tiara sat upon her head. She was followed by a violet unicorn with a purple mane and a streak of pink going down the was shocked that the tall alicorn could talk.
"what's the meaning of this" the winged unicorn asked.
The enemy pilot just turned his head ignoring her. Shawn said, "why do I have to tell you"
"because I hold you against the wall and can have you exiled" she turned her head towards Shawn.
"hmph isn't it obvious " he said.
"no it's not" she returned
He looked at the winged unicorn and then looked down at the smaller unicorn next to her. He sighed saying,"oh boy where do I start"
"well my squadron and I were called out to intercept three enemy fighters entering U.S airspace" Shawn explained.
"lies!" the other pilot yelled out, "we were entering our airspace! You American slime have no right to take it from us"
"hell yeah we do!" Shawn yelled back. The two argued for awhile before the winged unicorn interrupted them," quiet! Until you two can come forth with the truth to me. I have no choice but to keep you here, separate from each other."
She leaned down to the smaller unicorn saying," twilight please go call the guards" twilight nodded and ran off down the hall.
The three remained silent before the violet unicorn came back with four Pegasus guards wearing gold armor.
" guards please escort these...gentlemen to their new quarters" the tall pony said.
"yes princess celestia" the guards said together.
"so that's your name huh" Shawn said.
"yes I am princess celestia" she said.
Two of the guards moved towards Shawn and the other two towards the other pilot. Shawn's two guards then pushed him forward. He grabbed his helmet and walked down the hall hearing, "this isn't over American!"
"Same here you dirty dog!" Shawn yelled over his shoulder.
When the two pilots had been escorted away twilight looked up at the princess asking with concern and excitement in her eyes, "who are they princess and what were those things they were in?"
"that my dear student is what I plan on finding out" celestia said smiling down at twilight, "now go on back to your friends. I'll call for you when needed"
Twilight nodded and walked away leaving celestia alone. She walked down the hall towards the room where Shawn was being held. The two guards who had escorted him were standing outside the door.
"please go tell princess Luna that I would like her to join me" she said to the guards.
"yes princess" they said leaving.
When they left celestia entered the room finding Shawn polishing his helmet with a handkerchief. He was muttering something under his breath,"damn Iraq son of a ...go and kill...I'm gonna beat...damn him" he then changed subjects to himself," how the hell did I get here...why are there ponies everywhere...why can they talk?"
Celestia cleared her throat making Shawn jump and turn around.
" well apparently you are not from around here. So let's make a deal" she said.
"I don't make deals especially with ponies" he said returning to his helmet.
"very well but I still need to know why your here, what you intend to do, and how long you'll be before you are allowed to leave this room" she said.
Shawn grunted saying," fine I was called out to fight that bastard down the hall, he killed my squadron, but before I was able to get him he was engulfed by a bright light, that Mae light got me too so I continued to fight him ending up destroying his jet and ending up here. Why I'm here I don't know. What I intend to do is probably fix my jet and leave. How long I stay depends on if I get the right materials and tools for my jet"
Celestia nodded slowly, "very well I shall grant you permission to leave and go back to your...jet?"
Shawn got up and thanked the princess but as he was leaving the door burst opened and a dark blue winged unicorn with a obsidian breast plate and tiara ran into the room yelling,"sister!sister I'm here thou said thou needs me?"
She saw Shawn standing in front of her helmet in hand.
"uhhh I take it she's your sister" Shawn asked celestia.
"yes yes. Luna calm down" celestia said smiling," you are to accompany me to the other guest we have awaiting us"
"very well sister "Luna said raising her head," I shall wait in thy hall"
When Luna left Shawn said, "she's a curious one"
"yes but she means well" celestia said.
"now about going back is there any fast way back" he asked.
Celestia smiled as her horn glowed and there was a flash of light. Shawn opened his eyes from closing them from the bright light to see he was back at his jet.
"I would like to learn more about this" celestia said walking up next to him.
"maybe when I'm done" he said.
"well a howdy there princess" a voice came from the side.
Shawn looked to his right to see a orange pony with a braided blonde tail and a cowboy hat on her head. Next to her walked a big stallion with a red fur coat and was chewing a piece of wheat.
"ah applejack, big Macintosh. How nice to see you both" she said smiling. She walked over to them and started to talk. Shawn turned around back to his jet, he walked over to where his machine guns were installed and opened the panel that hid them. He inspected the ammo box and the backup ammo seeing that the first one was half empty.
"and this is..." celestia said.
Shawn looked up from his work and saw that the three were looking at him.
"I'm Shawn,shawn tucker" he said and quietly went back to unloading the ammo boxes.
"right" applejack said.
"well I have to go ask our other guest why he's here. Have a nice night" celestia said disappearing in a flash of light. Applejack and big Mac walked over to Shawn.
"need any help there" applejack asked.
"not now but tomorrow I'm going to need a trailer" Shawn said not looking up from his work, "you do have a trailer right?"
"eyup" big Mac said.
"good ill need it" Shawn said.
He went back to his work not saying another word. Apple jack and big Mac left soon after. Shawn worked till about midnight according to his watch before he climbed up into the cockpit of his jet and fell asleep.
