Chapter Three: What could cause this?
The large bang sounded like it was a large caliber. Well this can only end well, right? I quickly jumped into action hiding behind the door so I could slip out once they walked in. I've done this before but it almost always works. I saw as 2 people entered, I was guessing the third was keeping watch outside incase I left. Crap, well looks like I have to fight my way out of this one. By the look on Celestia's face she didn't seem happy to see this men coming into the library uninvited. They seemed to be carrying small firearms, an Ak-47 and a M16, simple weapons that would get the job done. The first man lifted his gun and said slowly and clearly "where is daemon" they both looked stunned but not knowing what he was holding Celestia stood up and tried to say something but was cut off by the other man saying "if you move anymore your going to end up dead, now where is he?" I could tell the was antsy to leave this place. I quickly jumped on the second mans weapon ripping the M16 out of his hand and brought the stock back across his head and rolled behind a table the was in the middle of the room, and instinctively pushed it over, shattering a small potted plant just as 4 shot were put into the table. Knowing full well that the man outside would quickly come in to see what the shots were for I laid myself flat on the floor making sure that the man behind me couldn't see me. As I pulled up the gun he peaked his head in the door, I took a single shot that hit his head and he hit the ground hard. At this point Celestia and twilight had started to run and I could tell that the only remaining man was about to fire. I turned and rolled out of the cover of the table and emptied the gun into the general direction I though he was in. I rolled back behind the table and got into a crouch position. Seeing as Celestia and Twilight with Fluttershy had made it up the stairs into her room. I was preparing for a sprint into possible death, to get the gun of the man by the door.
I exhaled slowly and drew in a quick breath as I sprinted towards the door. I could tell the man that was left was still there as I heard the gunshot and a shooting pain came from my left hand as I rolled out of the door and around the corner. This pony body is really hard to roll forward in, but I did manage to make it. The man outside had a small 30 caliber rifle, the loud bang I heard earlier, I though to myself. I picked it up and looked at it. Single shot, lever action. I pulled down the action to see an empty shell pop out. Only 2 more shots but I would have to make it count. I dropped the pony disguise and could see that it didn't hit a bone, thankfully. I aim the rifle straight up with my shoulder then quickly turned the corner and pulled the trigger. I then dropped to my shoulder and rolled to the right of the door and heard 3 shot hit the wall. I pulled the action again and the shell popped out. That was it, crap. Well so much for hiding my magic. I ignited my hand and started to spark my other hand with high voltage. The lightning would hit first but it would take the quickest way to ground so I had to aim it well or it would hit something else. I am ready, and I know well of what will happen. Here we go
I dropped to my knees and rolled into the tree making sure that the table was somewhat blocking his view as I sprinted in the crouch. He fired off 2 more shot. One hit me in the chest to the left of my right arm, but I raised my hand and sent lightning his way. I connected with him and pushed him against the wall. I stood up and jumped toward the last man and with my right hand I quickly light him on fire and smashed his face with my left. He tried to raise his gun but I kicked it out of his hand and brought a hand across his head. His neck made a loud cracking sound and I could tell that the break in his neck meant he was dead. I slowly stood up and looked up the stairs to see the door was locked. At least they were safe, if they were still there. I extinguished the small fire that was burning the mans face, then I put out my hands and grounded the lightning and put out the fire. It was finally over. I looked at the first man I hit over the head. He was still breathing. Looks like I have a way to find information. For now though, I went upstairs and knock three times and then moved over the stairs and ducked. If I knew anything about people its that they got defensive when cornered so I suspected they would probably fire at the door if they saw my human form. I started to change myself into an alicorn again when I saw the door slowly open and out came the one known as Celestia. Her horn had a yellow aura around it like she was ready to fight if she had to. After changing completely I limped out and told her that it was taken care of. I started to stumble and the world started turning, how long was I bleeding? Well, all I can do know is hope they help. And then the world became black, they better hold that man on the ground or there would be a problem. And then I heard a scream and that was it.
