Delta Equestria Chapter 2
(A/N: Hey everybody I'm back and I'm not Dead, and as thanks for your patience Here's the latest chapter)
Starlight Glimmer~
As I wake I find myself not in sand from my last memory but in a bed with a sheet on me I look around to find the Princess' and the rest of my friends in beds very much like me
"Twilight" I shouted out
That not only roused her but everypony else
"Where are we" Rainbow Dash said with a shockingly timid tone though she was quick to hide it when she saw me looking
"Beats me" I said
"Princess Celestia, Princess Luna are you okay" Twilight said rushing to Her side
"We're Fine Twilight, although I could ask the same of you" Princess Celestia said
"I'm Okay" she said
"What is this place" Fluttershy said rather timidly
"I can recall the last place we were before here we were in a Desert before we were brought here" I said
Before Further thoughts could be a chorus of low growls interrupted our thoughts
"I suppose we should find some food"
"And How in the Hay are we gonna do that" said Applejack
"We could just follow Pinkie" Twilight said point to a Pinkie who was sniffing like a bloodhound
All the sudden a rather pleasing aroma wafted our noses
Then came the loudest sound our stomachs ever made
I looked to the sight of embarrassed faces and held stomachs
"Did any pony find that as embarrassing as I Did?" Fluttershy said blushing tomato red
We all nodded
"Good I Figured I ask" She said as we filed out of the room
We followed our noses to a rather large room
"Whoa..." Said Rainbow said as she flew over to a table "Look at this spread" She said with her mouth watering
There was a whole slew of goodies from sweets to chips, Salsa, salads, fruits and veggies, and an impressive selection of drinks
"There's a Note" Princess Celestia said levitating a note she found from the end of the table
'Help Yourselves to anything on this table, it's no 5-star Restaurant food like what you royalty types whose status I deduced from the tiaras are used to but it'll do the job of shutting up your rumbling stomachs, Apologies for the accommodations they were the best I could scrounge up on short notice that and the last safe luxury Hotel that would've been satisfactory was destroyed a few years before you 9 got here, If you'd like to meet me I'll be back in the room your currently in Later today' Princess Celestia read aloud
"That would explain a lot, and I suppose there would've been even worse places to wake up in" Fluttershy said
"5 Stars, not hooves?" Rarity said rather curious
"are we gonna sit here gabbin' or are we gonna eat this here grub" Applejack said
As we heard somepony munching We look to see Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie didn't need any such encouraging
"Well Everypony, we might as well eat"
~One Feast later~
~None~
"I Don't Know about y'all but that food hit the spot" Applejack said as she rubbed her now full stomach
A Sound followed by a light creaking sound was heard
"Sounds like whomever rescued us is home" Princess Luna said aloud
Everypony present at the table placed the used dishes in the sink, and since none of them had any idea who lived here they scrambled to hide
~Travers~
Man, that was a long trip I make my way to the Mess Hall unloading my gear near the Door
As I enter the Mess Hall I see no one, which I naturally found odd since from the crumbs I saw from the table They were here and have eaten the food I put out for them
I closed my Eyes and I could easily hear them I walk closer to a hall way I found uncharacteristically dark When It was supposed to be very well lit up
"You can come out I know you're there from your heartbeats that I can hear, I'm not going to harm you nor kill you and if I wanted to quote unquote "kill all of you" You'd all be dead by now " I said
As I stood where I was I heard a chorus of hooves clacking on the floor I heard a switch
"Okay so I wasn't hallucinating when I first saw you nine in that desert" I said
"What do you think you were seeing partner" said the one with the Stetson hat
"Trust me when I said you don't want to know the answer to that question, but my manners are getting away from me" I said to the sound of a whew style sigh
I look to see a pony w/pearl white coat and purple main and tail, temporarily ignoring it to walk over to the table and siting down at the head they all follow suit
"I shall answer as many questions as they come up,"
"Starting with my name Being Cole Travers so Spelt as C-O-L-E Then T-R-A-V-E-R-S, I spelt it so you know how my name looks on paper and so mistakes are not being made in our meeting,"
"you currently sit within the Military facility of N.O.R.A.D. that's an acronym for the North American Aerospace Defense Command,
"North America is the name of the map territory you're currently in, within which stood once in it's prime as the greatest country in the World, the United States of America"
"My Profession in case it wasn't obvious from my garb is that of a Soldier in the United States armed forces, the name of the unit I was last deployed with is Delta Force, B Squadron Phantom Squad US Special Forces"
"My Rank as per these silver bars right here is Captain, which can be translated to a Lieutenant in the United States Navy" I said gesturing to the Silver Bars on my Uniform I said as I indicated the silver bars on my shoulder
"In my current lifetime I gained three Nicknames, The First one is The Silver Wolf from my Days in Espionage and Counter Espionage, but the one Nickname that stuck was the Silver War-Horse: in Light of my Freaky Work ethic and Combat Versatility, and the last nick name that stuck with me was the Genius Demigod, More on that later"
"and with that I conclude answering Questions I anticipate as they were Good Questions to start with, So now I ask you to tell me things about you, and especially Starting with how is it that you all came to be here"
~Twilight~
As I look on at this Human which I would know a fair bit about from my adventures to CHS which naturally makes me an authority on them but I've been going there a lot less to the point of not at all
"Well, uhh… Captain Travers was it" I said to him who nodded
"Let's start with Introductions Starting with myself, In the feel of getting it out of the way"
"Of Course" He responded with a lite smile before returning to that emotion neutral face
"I'm Twilight Sparkle Alicorn Princess of Ponyville, and of friendship in Equestria"
"Okay Three Questions popped up with that Intro" He said with Genuine Confusion
~Celestia~
"Those Questions Being" I asked
"#1 What's an Alicorn, No Offense but her and Her" Cole said as he pointed to Rainbow dash and Fluttershy, "And then those two" as he then pointed to Starlight and Rarity
"merit a big fat DUH" He said emphasizing DUH
"I already have a general idea about Her with the Hat and Her with the Cotton Candy like mane, But I'm going to wait until I hear what term do you use so Whatever term I use can be used at least once for academia reasons so I do not sound like a complete cretin when I use it for the one time as before mentioned after which I start using your term" He said
"Understandable" I heard Princess Celestia say
"An Alicorn is the genetic culmination of Unicorns like Starlight glimmer and Rarity over there" I said pointing to them by temporarily highlighting them in order with my magic, "The Pegasai like Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy "I continued highlighting them in a similar to earlier "and finally Earth Ponies like Applejack and Pinkie Pie" I finished by gesturing to the remaining two in Present company
"I see, and a additional plus note that knocked out Name Introductions"
"And as Promised, The term I would've used where Applejack and Pinkie Pie are concerned were Horses" Cole said
"We Kindly ask you to not use that term anymore" Princess Luna said not pleased to that word
"I take the H Bomb where you pony folk are concerned is of a particular character That is very Promiscuous in a Dirty, tramp like, and not give a Horseshit stain in Who sees" Cole Said
"Yes How'd you know that?" I asked him
"Your micro Expressions told me when the H bomb passed my lips, the rest was logic, and Deductions plus you wincing slightly at my second nickname was pretty obvious" I said as I was recalling of assorted literary references
"Now with that bit settled Now for Question #2: Equestria?" he asked with a raise brow
"That good sir would be the name of our country of which we call our home of which we being my Sister and myself rule over" Princess Luna said
"and finally question #3 How does something like Friendship get its own Monarch"he said sounding really confused
"Our society put simply is very magic as well as emotion oriented, which can be difficult for those not in the know where magic is concerned" I said
"Makes Sense" I Heard him say and for I an instant I sensed him become a lot more relaxed
"Okay Whose next…" He said with a pause "How About you with the stars in her mane"
~Luna~
"My Name is Princess Luna, Co-Ruler of Equestria, bringer of the Moon to my Sister's sun"
In addition I rule and Patrol the Dream Realm providing wisdom to those who either need it or ask for it and provide protection against nightmares
"Wow" Cole said with a level of intrigue but something wasn't right with his reactions I couldn't quite put my hoof on it yet.
"If you will permit me question do you move the Sun and Moon here" I said to the Captain
"No Ma'am I do not, Granted I could If I wanted to but I'd be doing so at great risk to both myself and the planet I stand on, while I don't understand how things work back home for you things are drastically different than here, said differences being a universal power called Gravity moves the earth hint, hint the planet we're on in orbit around the sun and the moon is in orbit around the earth, and for more than 2 eons or so That's been this planet's norm." I said taking note of Twilight about to say something
"Yes Twilight I'm Proficient with Magic, 'How good am I?' You're probably wondering, Prestidigitation wise I'm real good but I more see it as a hobby to pass time, All other magic known I would prefer not to say because I would rather not be dubbed boastful." I say to the defeated alicorn
~Applejack~
"Well I'm Applejack Operator of Sweet Apple Acres primary profession farmer, So What kind of food do you Humans eat, if you don't mind my asking" I asked
"A reasonable question" He said with a pause "Human's via. genetic Design are omnivores, that fact is evident in our teeth"
He then paused again to open his mouth wide showing his teeth which shown like mirrors which didn't go unnoticed by Rarity then pointing to two pointed teeth on the upper side of his mouth
"The first two I indicated are canine teeth are for biting and tearing into flesh and meat themed and related foods"
"while" He said preceding to revealing his teeth to point to the front most teeth "my incisor teeth help me deal with other foods"
"Now calm yourself I've zero interest in Equine meat, The Butcher who attempted to introduce it my system ended up wearing my Stomach's contents as It was straight up rancid to my tongue and subsequent palette, The only other meat that I've had and allowed to pass these lips of mine are as follows, Cows, Chicken, Goat, Though at the time when I tried it was known as Mutton, and lastly pigs. These items of food have one thing essential for human health, Protein, Alternate forms of food I can eat for the Protein I need are Fish, Crustaceans like Crabs or Lobsters and mollusks, and Eggs namely Chicken eggs.
"My main reason for telling you all of this is namely for Academia Reasons, Now most humans I've known were carnivores to the end, some were vegetarian to the end, some were vegan which of course means No Meat, No Fish, No Dairy milk eggs and the like. Humans choose these types of food, for a myriad of reasons one such example medical reasons they eat because it will hurt themselves in the long run" He said in a matter of fact tone
"and you?" I say to him
"I'm an omnivore, by choice and by personal preference"
Any further Questions
"No Sugarcube I'm Set"
~Rainbow Dash~
"Sugarcube?" I heard him ask Applejack
"It's a verbal quirk of hers, She calls every-pony, no every-creature that" I say to him with a light chuckle
"So um… Outside of the military Do you have any other interests, hobbies, into any sports anything like that?" I say to him personally curious if he's more than the Solider
"Yeah when you live like an immortal for thousands of years and after discovering a way to time travel to try and make something better you develop the tendency to have a lot of time to pick a lot of hobbies, in addition to be an Olympic gold level athlete in a myriad of events, and become a world class athlete in a slew of sports teams including and not limited to Soccer, Football, Basketball, Boxing, Hockey, and Baseball, I have also used my years of lifetimes for academic reason but we don't really need to get into all that" He said though he was fondly remembering
~Rarity~
"My Name's Rarity Belle Owner of Carousel boutique and I've a Question" I asked towards Cole
"Shoot" He said
"You said Years of Lifetimes"
"Aye Ma'am I did" He said with odd accent while at the same time familiar
"What did you mean by that?" I say to him curiously
"Through Science work I discovered the work around for the concept known as the Heyflick Limit, Which Effectively made me immortal, and thanks to a time machine I once had, of which is now Scrapped my age is well over 10,000 years old and during that long life span and thanks to my years of experience in Espionage" He said pausing "That's Spy work for those who Don't know, and I'm quite good at quote 'faking my death and disappearing' un quote so I can then start a new life elsewhere"
"So if any of you Mare's is that term usage correct?" He asked us to all of us responding
"Yes" I said
"If any of you mare's are self conscious about your ages, don't be because 'Insert whatever age year here' I ad lib that part as a defense mechanism from the A bomb taboo term for Female irregardless of sentient creature status That's a drop in the bucket compared to me" He said in matter of fact style tone
"Ad what now" I heard Applejack say
"I was also speaking in ad lib format I essentially speak a grey sentence with insert here round with it so that one I don't slapped because I quote 'asked the A themed taboo where Ladies are concerned and two avoid awkward moments"
"Final Question: Besides Soldiering and Scientist are you good at anything else
"Well in one of my many non military lifetimes I was a premier Blacksmith, Gunsmith and Sword-smith, Which essentially means If it's made of metal I can make it, and make it of a Masterpiece Quality that's so good any weapons collector would green with envy.
Though to be fair I Had a few other military careers where I not only was a Soldier I was a Sailor to the point where I Skippered a few ships during a few lives, and I flew aircraft ranging from blimps, to experimental Aircraft and Drones ranging in speed capabilities of a crawl speeds to insane speeds of Mach 3.75
I won't go into details about my other lives But I'll keep It short and sweet
"I was a chef, for a myriad of Food Establishments ranging from High end High class joints whose menu product could make any creature's wallet deflate faster than in the blink of an eye to low end Fast food joints enough said
"Another life I led I was a Tech mogul, essentially I made Technological Art, How good was I essentially Any task you can think of I can make a machine to do it, And It would be so good any pre existing Tech system in place would be rendered obsolete." He said sounding quite proud
"Yet Another Life I led was that of a Doctor and Veterinarian Of Great Renown the region In concert with Technology I made in my Previous life I operated and administrated one of the greatest hospitals in the world, Which was I was confident in my ability to treat you"
"And the last of the notable lives I've led is that of a seamster" He said looking towards me with a look of recognition appearing on his face "That's the male equivalent to a seamstress"
"Oh My" I said "That's my profession to, How good are you" I proceeded to ask with a level Of Excitement
"Well to be fair I haven't a clue because I long ago lost any competitiveness so I just treat that line of work as a hobby of which I'm quite proficient at, and gotten quite good at if an outside objective eye were to analyze the common question asked is: 'Why haven't I started an empire with it?' Is the extent I like to think that of the height of my skill as a seamster."
"You must show me some of your creations sometime" I said
"I'll think about it, remind me later" He said to me not sounding serious at first but perks up
"I will" I say to him with a sense of elation that I would be able to talk shop with some Creature New
~Fluttershy~
"We were sick when you found us?" I asked rather concerned
"Yeah" He said clearly not fond of talking about it
"The area where I found you was polluted with very toxic Radiation that would've been hazardous to your health if you were exposed to it for too long"
"In fact I managed to generate a computer simulation of what would've happened to you if I hadn't gotten to you"
He then hit some what sounded like buttons on his wrist device Then a beam shot out them all of the sudden images of all of us appear before us
"Nice huh, this is a holographic projection of a program I got on this computer of mine" He said presenting the device on his arm
"During my examination of you I collected your medical data, which includes the following which are all coined by yours truly, 'Diet to cellular saturation', 'HCF Diagnostics' Hair coat and fur for those who don't know, 'Calcium and Vitamin C to Bones Saturation or CAVBS for short', 'MOODLS for Main Organ Operation Deferment for Life Support' and finally Cellular Efficiency and Operational Functional Analysis for your bodies on the Cellular level"
He then proceeded to hit some more buttons
"Okay Run Program" He said after two button hits
Then something began to happen to us or more accurately the light projections of us
The models of us were in front of us then a voice we didn't recognize sounded
'1 hour later'
Put simply my projection was making me when I tried faking an illness look like a pro
'3 hours later'
At that Juncture my projection counterpart might as well be transferred to a death bed
'5 hours later'
Bald rat best summary for my Projection counterparts appearance and let's just say
Rarity wasn't thrilled since she shrieked at volume I could a sworn I heard a window break
~Pinkie Pie~
"So um… When's your Birthday?"
"For a time It was usually about a week following the first day of Summer" He said with a fondness in his voice before He become What I could tell was disinterest
"Would it be fair to assume that from disinterest, something happened on your Birthday"
"Now What gave you that idea" He said
"The Lack of specifics on your birthday would lead me to conclude either a really bad memory attached to your Birthday, or a Really sad Memory which soured any hope for happy memories"
"The Latter, and I refuse to comment really sore topic" He says like he was holding something down within him"
"Okay last Question in relation to the latest Question Asked, 1 to 10 How Bad was it" I asked as delicately as I could
"Officially 10, but emotionally it felt like 20, Will there any further questions? He asked
~None~
"Well then that was most informative" Capt. Travers said "as thanks I would like to treat you 9 to an Adventure, The odds of which happening again in your lifetime will never come again. Now on account of the current time we're going to sleep here tonight, Than First thing in the morning I will give a tour of the USA with special stops at locations I don't think, I know you'll like.
Capt. Travers then proceeded to Show the mares the little fillies room
Then after some initially uncomfortable experience The ponies were given directions to the room they woke up in
~Luna~
I was about to walk into the room with the 'Cots' as I learned what the things we were laying on
Something caught me and My Sister's eye Since She was right behind me
"You alright Princesses?" Applejack asked
"uh.. Yes Friend Applejack, We're fine"
"You get a head start on some Shuteye we need to check something" My Sister Said
We then proceeded to trot down the hall to the Sight of an Elderly looking man in a suit if One Captain Traver's Physique were to go by
A couple hallways of travel One would say He's spry for an 'old Soul'
2 more hallways later we were led into what appeared to be a command center; I then turn my gaze to the man in the suit
"Excuse me sir who are you" my sister said to him
"I am… "The Man in the suit said
