"Okay," I said through a radio, "I want this mission high and tight. I want to be home in time for dinner?"
I ran forward with a gun in my hands. I only stopped when a little boy crossed my path. He pointed a machine gun a little smaller than mine at me. I didn't want to do it. I didn't want to kill him, but I knew had too. I just couldn't. But one of my men swooped by and shot the kid anyway. I don't know why or how, but the death of that one soul made me loose all the fight I had within me. I just dropped to my knees and looked at the small bloodied body in front of me.
What could have drawn that kid to do such a thing. Is this really what other countries have stooped down to? Their children are holding guns. And is this what all of my life has boiled down to. Shooting kids for the sake and the name that isn't my own. I had to get back home, "Hey Discord!" I looked up and my Lieutenant Officer Yadiria, "You okay?"
"I can't take it anymore," I looked back at the dead child, "That was somebody's baby," I began crying, "I didn't want to shoot him, but someone did and now he's dead. He was only so young."
"Look General, we have our orders. When we go back home, just take a little breather."
"No, I quit. I'm done with this war shit."
"Then what are you going to do? Be the next Commander?" she laughed mockingly, "Yeah right. Besides, they have a new Commander anyway. That old hag of a Commander was really starting to annoy me."
I stood back up and scowled at her, "You will do wise in holding your tongue. Apple Smith was the best Commander in the world. She has done more for humankind than you will ever know."
"Yes sir!" she said with defeat, "Do forgive my marr, sir!"
"Do you know who the new Commander is?"
"it is the eldest daughter of Sweetie Apple and Thunder Bluing."
I gasped, "The Chosen One? This is bad. This is very, very bad," I began running back towards the base."
"General?" she called out after me, "What is it?" she caught up with me and kept my speed, "What is wrong with Equestria's new Commander?"
"She is going to do something that will have negative consequences in the future."
"Like what? What will she do that is so bad?"
"It's not what she has done, but what she is about to do."
"What is she about to do?"
I didn't respond as we finally made it back to the base, "Set my coordinates for 2091 A4930. Mane Street," there was a platform t hat I ran to as it began glowing grey. When I fully got onto the platform, I disappeared.
I landed in the middle of Mane Street with zombies running rampant. There was a seven foot tall woman in front of me with a pile of zombies on top of her. She threw a punch and zombies went flying. That's when she looked at me, "Commander," I breathed as I smirked heavily.
"Discord," she was as though time stood still when we looked at each other. She stood there in an all black uni-body suit, "So," she used the top of a pick-up truck to lean over on, "So, I assume that you are here for Fluttershy yes?" Applejack seemed angry for some reason and I couldn't figure it out. Why were there zombies in this segment in time? I kept asking myself that until Applejack continued speaking, "I hope that you have come to make amends. Otherwise," she scoffed, "You are just wasting your time."
"What year is it?" was all I could ask.
"What?" she was confused.
"What, year is it?" I repeated slowly this time.
'2051. Why?"
"Then is not to late," I began running toward Fluttershy's house. I ran and ran until I saw her house. There was Trixie talking to her. The pink haired teen was crying and I knew that Trixie just had ruined or relationship, "Trixie! NOOOOOOOOO!"
Trixie whipped around with an evil smirk on hey face. She ran off as I ran to Fluttershy's side, "Fluttershy? Fluttershy? Baby look at me," I placed my hands on either side of her face to have her look at me, "I love you. What Trixie told was a lie."
"Then explain the pictures!" she handed me a pile of pictures. I looked at them and what they showed was just something that was taken all our of proportion. They were pictures of me and another girl. I knew who she was. It was my Lieutenant Officer Yadiri. The pictures were of her and I smiling with an seen slung over each other's shoulders. We were wearing civilian clothes and were walking away from the camera and down a street, "That isn't what it looks like. That's my Lieutenant Officer and we were just enjoying our day off. I'm not cheating on you love."
"I would love to believe that, but I don't. So we're through," her words hit me hard and stung twice as much.
"But Fluttershy," I tried not to cry, "Trixie lied to you and I know that I can prove to you that what she has told you is a lie."
"I don't want to hear it! Just get away from me!"
My rage filled me as I began walking away from her. So many thoughts of wanting to kill Trixie in so many different ways. After about an hour of looking for her I saw Trixie and Applejack fighting. They were yelling and ranting off and all I kept hearing were the names of my own and of Fluttershy's. When I got closer, Applejack stopped her fighting with Trixie and looked at me. Trixie turned around before she ran off, "TRIXIE!" I roared as I began chasing her.
"Oh no you don't!" Applejack pulled me by my collar and lifted me up five feet off the ground, "There is a reason why Trixie did why she did and you're not going to stop her," Applejack set me back down and I just watched the city around me and how it turned into such ruins since I had last left.
"Can you at least tell me where she is going?" I turned around and looked up at her.
Before she could speak, there was an explosion behind her. We looked and there was a tanker truck that had been flipped over. Next to it was a hulking zombie approaching, "Oh shit," Aj breathed, "And here I thought that they couldn't get any bigger."
And with that Aj ran toward it as my dream faded into black...
