CH#4 A GR0W1NG FAM1LY AND A N3W WAR

Ghost was walking in Ponyville to see if he did buy something to eat. Rainbow Dash did give them some money to buy groceries. But as he was walking he saw two griffins in an alley. They had their swords ready for this they're going to kill someone. Ghost walked over towards the alley. "I'm goanna cut you up." One of the griffins said. "But that's only if you don't give a sure money and food." The other griffin said. The mare kept backing up until she hit a dead end. "Here this is all my money and all my food take it." The mare said with fear in her voice. The griffins looked at each other. "You know even though you gave us your food and money we still feel like killing someone today." One the griffins said. As both raise their swords up in the air they were interrupted by a voice behind them. "Oy wankers why don't you pick on someone your own size." The two griffins turned their heads.

"What are you goanna do about it buddy?" one of the griffins asked. Well I'll give you two choices I could beat the snot out of you or I can kill you." Ghost replied. The two griffins looked at each other again then looked at him. "Okay pal will give you a chance to try and kill us." One of the griffins said. "Okay mate but its goanna be your funeral." The two griffins started to charge at Ghost. Then Ghost pulled out his ACR and fired two shots. The griffins fell to the ground holding their wings in pain. Ghost walked up to the both of them. "Now I'm going to give you one more chance to get out of here." Ghost said while pointing his gun at both of them. The griffins decided to surrender and fly away.

Ghost walked over to the mare that was trembling in fear. Ghost picked up her groceries and her money then started to walk over to her

"Here I think this belongs to you." Ghost said holding out the money and groceries. She looked at ghost and got scared. "Hay there's no need to be scared I'm just wearing a mask." She got a little less scared and took back her money and groceries. Thank you. The mare said. Ghost then walked off to get his groceries. Back at sweet apple acres Roach was looking for Applejack again it was a beautiful night all the stars were shining and Moon was as bright as can be. Then Roach saw Applejack sitting on a small cliff looking up at the stars. This made Roach curious. So he walked over the Big Mac.

Hay Mac. Roach said as Big Mac turned his head and still had an unsure look on his face. "Is Applejack praying?" roach asked Big Mac. Nope. Big Mac replied then continued. She goes out there every night not only to pray but thinks about our parents. "What happened to your parents?" Roach asked. "Why should I tell you I don't trust you." Big Mac replied. "I know you don't and that's what I like about you Big Mac." Roach said then went on. "Because you always look out for your family and you would do anything to protect your family even if it meant risking your life you remind me a lot of my brother." Roach said. "Where's your brother?" Big Mac asked. "He was crippled by saving his team and me if it wasn't for him I wouldn't be here today." Big Mac trusted Roach now.

"So tell me what happened to your parents." Roach said. "It happened when we were just kids Applebloom was only a filly." Big Mac said then continued. Applejack was with our parents when it happened. "Rarity was on a rope bridge and she was about to fall, Mom held at the bridge and dad climbed on and through rarity to Applejack and they fell." Big Mac said. Roach could see some tears come down his eyes. Roach was trying to think of a way to make big Mac feel better. Hay that means they went down as heroes," roach said. Big Mac turned his head towards Roach and Roach gave him a hug. "I'm sorry for your loss," Roach said. Big Mac remembered that Knuckles needed help with something. "I'll see y'all later Roach I remembered that I would help knuckles with something," Big Mac replied then left. Applejack was sitting on the cliff and praying to god that he will keep her parents safe. When she finished her prayer she looked at the sky. Beautiful night out ain't it," said a voice behind her. She saw Roach then he sat down next to her.

"Your brother told me about what happened to your parents and very sorry for your loss," Roach said. Roach could tell that Applejack was crying before he said what he said. Roach gave Applejack a hug comfort her. The next morning Roach got up early so he could visit Applejack's parent's grave. He went to the graveyard and all the tombstones were in alphabetical order and often the distance he could see a funeral going on. It was for Flower Growth. Roach kept on looking for the tombstone. Finally he found the Apple's tombstones. He pulled out an American flag that his father gave to him before he died. He set a flag in between the two tombstones and then the saluted. "Mr. and Mrs. Apple I salute you today because you went down like heroes," Roach said. Even though he didn't know them at all some tears came down as face.

As he was starting to walk out he heard crying off in the distance. So he went to go investigate as he followed the sound. When he finally got to spot of where the crying came from he saw a little filly. She was a Pegasus that had orange skin and purple hair. If there was one thing Roach couldn't stand is see a child cry especially if it's an orphan.

"I've gotta do something," Roach thought to himself. He's trying to think of a way to get the filly's attention without scaring her. Excuse me but would you mind some company?" Roach asked. She kind of got scared because he was wearing a mask. Hay no need to be scared just a mask," Roach said pulling his mask down and taking his helmet off. The filly wasn't scared any more. "Who or what are you?" the filly asked my real name is Derrick but I go by my nickname Roach," he replied. "So these are your parents?" Roach asked. The filly nodded yes. "Oh sorry I forgot to mention what I am. I am a human and what I do is protect," Roach said. But after he said that he saw that the filly was crying again. So he reached over and gave her a hug. She paused for a second and then returned the hug. "So what you're name?" Roach asked. My name is Scootaloo," she replied.

After that they broke from the hug. I was wondering if it would be OK with you if I take you in for adoption," Roach said. Scootaloo paused for a second. "Yo… You would do that for me?" Scootaloo asked. "You do need a home," Roach said. Scootaloo jumped on Roach and gave him another hug. "Thank you thank you thank you thank you," Scootaloo said with tears of joy and hope running down her face on to Roaches shoulders. "So where do you live?" Scootaloo asked. "Sweet apple acres," Roach replied. Scootaloo was even happier now. Do you know my friend Applebloom?" Scootaloo asked. "Yup I'm dating her sister," Roach replied then continued. "Sounds like you and Applebloom are gonna have the unending sleep over," "Are you going to marry Applejack?" Scootaloo asked. "Hopefully one day why?" Roach asked. "I just thought it would be cool if Applebloom was my aunt," Scootaloo replied. Roach had a smile on his face. "Well then we can only hope," roach replied.

Meanwhile the police and s.w.a.t bots were getting ready because they heard about an attack that was going to happen in downtown Mobius. All the cops and s.w.a.t bots took cover behind the police cars. All of a sudden a semi truck came up. One of the cops stopped the truck. "Sorry but no one's allowed inside the city we're on lockdown," the police officer said. "The ruler of Mobius told us to deliver this to you," said the truck driver two guys came out from the back and had this box in their hands and handed it to the officer. "This will make your weapons and robots stronger just push this button," said one of the guys. "Thank you," the officer said then walked off and pushed the button. But little did they know that it was actually a bomb. And the explosion will release a hacking signal which will reprogram the SWAT bots. They started to hear a beeping noise. "What is that sound?" one of the cops asked. All of a sudden the box exploded killing the officers that were near it and the others fell to the ground by the power of the blast. They started to get up. But then they noticed something wrong was going on with the SWAT bots. "Threat detected," the SWAT bots said and started firing at the police. All the police were dead and the Russians moved into the city taking control. The new war is here.
