Chapter 23 - WW3

Im back! Yesterday was tiring for me.

Anywhoooo, my friend from minecraft is reading this story, if you guys want to hang out with me on minecraft, go to bronycraft! Just search bronycraft in google, the server ip will be there!

Sorry if you guys do not like this one but it would explain more of this chapter more easier.

The CMC were ahead of us, playing a game of catching as we walked to Sugar Cube Corner. I saw Vinyl heading to the same direction, she took notice of me and approached us. "What's up Davis! Ready to get this party going?" She placed her hoof in front of me and we sort of did a brohoof. "I don't know, I have been singing so much now." I said, scratching my head. Luna nudged me "Awwww come on! Your an awesome singer! I never get sick of your singing." Luna winked. Vinyl nodded her head "Yeah I think so too, you rocked the Gala that night!"

The three of us arrived at Sugar Cube Corner, late by a few minutes. I saw a large crowd of ponies surrounding Thomas as he greeted them one by one. I sighed "Here we go again!"

The party was like the usual, greeting followed by dancing and then playing and even more dancing. Luna and I were dancing together the entire night. It became more of a romance than a party to me but Thomas did have fun and met a lot of new ponies. He also danced together with Twilight all night. Then the party ended as scheduled, at 11.30. Everpony headed to their own homes, Luna, Twilight, Thomas, Sam, Bryan and I head to the library.

Once we were in the library, we packed up our things, a picnic mat, a basket of food, a bowl of fruit punch and some cups. All of us, including Spike went out to the hills to get ready for the meteor show. We met the rest of the mane six there, who was greeted by Thomas. Pinkie threw down a basket and then a large mat popped out and the basket flew up to the night sky. "The hell?" Bryan said, looking at the flying basket. I prepared everything with everpony's and we sat together on the mat, Twilight and Thomas standing beside the telescope and getting their notes ready. I shook my head and chuckled.

I sat beside Luna who leaned her head on my shoulder we got comfortable and waited for the show to start. And then, I saw one white ball zoom past the night sky, I began hearing whispers as ponies gazed into the skies. Twilight took a peek in her telescope and Thomas armed himself with his notes. And suddenly, dozens of meteors flew across the horizon and the night sky was filled with white lines. I heard Twilight mumbling about some names of the meteorites, I think it was Leonids, Orinids and Eta Aquarids or something. I ignored them and wrapped my arm around Luna.

Luna laid down, and gestured me to follow, we both lay together and I was mesmerised at the beautiful comets flying past with the beautiful stars as a background. I rubbed Luna's side as we stared deep into the sky. I heard more and more mumblings and murmurs and it aroused my suspicion so I sat up and I saw at least 50 meteors flying way too near to the atmosphere out in the horizon. Some where actually in the atmosphere and was engulfed in fire.

I gasped. I heard Twilight tell us "This is not right, they are coming way too close." Rainbow added, flying a bit higher above the ground, looking at the falling meteors, "Yeah... this did not happened last year. And I felt small rumbles in the ground and I saw a large flash in the distance, everypony gasped and the flash illuminated so much that I covered my face with my arms. Afterwards, I rubbed my eyes and when I opened them again, I gasped as one glowing thing hit me... hard. I grunted as I was sent flying downhill, I felt pain all over me and the glowing thing hit me again and I flew into a tree and fell, knocking me out.

I moaned as I sat up and rubbed my eyes and opened them. I saw that I was in a hospital. I heard screams coming from outside. I looked out of the window to see that I was back on Earth again, but not just any normal Earth, the skies were grey and dust filled the skies. Fires burned down some buildings and down the streets, people were running hysterically. I heard the door slam open and I saw my mother standing there. "Mom? Whats-" I was grabbed by the hand and pulled.

"Davis! We need to get out of here! Now!" I was panicking as I was pulled out of the room and to the stairs. "Wh-whats going on?" My mother ran up the stairs and I followed her. She did not speak at all and we ran until we were on the roof. I saw a crowd of people gathering around a chinook. (a large helicopter) And then some people were left behind, mostly men. The chinook flew to the distance. I heard explosions everywhere and airplanes were flying overhead. I saw some chinooks retreating at the same directions and a fireball hit some of them, knocking them down. I stood on the helipad, beside my mother. I took a peek down the building to see tanks rolling around the streets.

The tanks blew the buildings and I saw some soldiers armed with rifles, trying to shoot down the soldiers and and explosions blew them away. I heard more screams and then my mom tugged me to her arms "Goodbye, Davis." She pulled me away and I looked right into her eyes. "M-mom what's going on?" She smiled lightly and fixed my hair. "I have no time to explain, get on the helicopter now and be safe, I will follow, dont worry. I saw tears flow down her cheeks. I hugged her tight and she pushed me into the chinook. I was escorted by the soldier to a seat and I poked my head out the window, other children doing the same.

I waved goodbye to my mother, tears flowing down my cheeks and I sobbed. My mom gave me a flying kiss and knelt down, crying. I could no longer see her as the chinook changed direction. I saw other chinooks flying beside us and fireballs hit some of them. I heard mumblings on the radio. it must be the pilots talking. I stood up a bit to look in front. I saw some children sitting down in other seat, crying and soldiers walking around, trying to comfort them. I buried my hands in my face. "What the hell is going on?" I whispered to myself as tears welled up my eyes. I heard boots coming close to me. I raised my head to see a soldier standing there. He sat beside me and patted my back.

"Dont worry, your going to be safe in the Ark." He said with assuring voice. By the looks of his uniform he seems to be a Sergeant. I mumbled out in nervousness "Wh-what's g-going on?" The man frowned and sat back, "The damned Iraqs, (Sorry, no offence) they sent in an invading army here, they terrorised our harbours and they have spies hiding around the cities, killing major soldiers in the military, I think this is the next world war." I took in everything slowly and sat back in shock. World war? Iraqs? How long was I out?

I sat with the man, chatting and bombarding him with questions until he was called to the front. I took another peek out and now, we were flying above burning fields and terrorised houses and burning crops and there were dead bodies scattered all over the place. The chinooks were still flying with us. I closed my eyes to try to calm myself.

I was awaken by a large explosion I looked around and saw red lights flashing around the chinook I heard screams from the children at the front. I looked out to see that it was now night and were were flying above burning buildings and there were chinooks falling down to the ground, fire engulfed the cockpits. I looked at the back to see it on fire. Some soldiers were dragging some wounded children to the front and others were trying to distinguish the fire.

I sat down my chair and prayed silently. Another large explosion was heard and a voiced boom over the radio, "Were hit! Were hit! losing alti-" I heard static and the chinook started rotating violently, I held on to my chair and I took a glimpse of the burning cockpit and dead soldiers on the floor. The chinook crash landed on a building and I was now lying on the floor, blood covering me. I saw a soldier carry me, it was him and I was placed down on the floor beside other wounded children and teenagers. "youll be okay." The man ran back inside the burning chinook "Kurt!" I heard a man shout and the chinook blew up and scraps of metal flew all over the place.

I closed my eyes tight, trying to stop the pain in my mid section. I was carried by another soldier outside and into a armoured vehicle I was surrounded by two soldiers with a red cross mark on the right arms. I leaned my head on the stretcher and closed my eyes as I gave out a large sigh.

Hoped you guys liked this chapter, now about that meteors...
