The fallen soldier

Chapter 15 part 3 out of 3

. . . . .

-------------------

You woke to the sound of someone opening your tent.

You stirred, briefly opening your eyes and quickly drawing your gun. You feigned snoring, hiding your handgun beneath your pillow, when sunlight poured inside the tent you quickly flipped on your side while aiming the handgun at the intruder.

"Whoa! Its me! Rainbow! Put that thing down!" She jumped back up from her crouching position.

You squint your eyes, rub them, then you holster your handgun. You motion for her to move, then slowly crawl out of the tent, she watches you as you stand back up and stretch.

"Do you need something else?" You ask, as you reach down and touch your armored toes.

"Not really, I'll, uh, go help Twilight." She points at Twilight and takes off.

"Right." You call after her.

After stretching your muscles, you look around the camping area. Twilight was reading a small booklet while toying with her fancy magic camp-stove, and Rainbow was flying in the air, her hand on her forehead, probably looking around.

You approach Twilight, you watch quietly as she puts the booklet down and grab the black box, her hand starts glowing a light purple. The needle on the Mana gauge started slowly rising, until it could rise no more.

She placed the box on the log next to her and focused her attention on the stove, she flipped a few switches and turned a few knobs and purple fire suddenly bursted from the stove. Twilight panicked and started turning a knob, as she turned, the fire got considerably weaker.

She shut the machine off and moved it onto the ground, were it stayed until she fetched come food to cook. She later returned with a can of beans.

"Why only one can? There's three of us." You ask while positioning yourself by the stove.

"it's a practice run." She replies. "You know, so I don't blow it up." She opens the can and dumps it into a small pot, which she then placed on the stove.

"Shouldn't I be cooking then?" You ask, slightly worried about the possible explosion.

"Are you saying a lady can't cook?." She replied.

"A lady? You could have fooled me Twilight, I've seen the way you eat on those 'read all night long' night's. Besides, I only asked because I'm wearing something that'll protect me from the explosion." You slap your armor.

A nearly invisible blush formed on her face, "I-I have a means of protecting myself!" She shouts, stumbling on her 'i's.

You raise a eyebrow and look at her.

"Try and hit me!" She suddenly shouts.

"What!? No!" You recoil in surprise.

"Come on you sissy boy! Afraid a girl can't hold her own!?" She gives you a teasing look.

"I'm sure you can take a punch! But you can't take my punch! Its like having a titanium baseball bat slammed into your face." You make the motion of swinging a bat.

"Alright fine! Just punch the air in front of me, that should register."

"You're making it sound like you have a portable shield." You reply with a deadpan expression.

"My Celestia! Just hit the air!" She threw her hands in the air.

"Fine fine." You put your hands up, then bring your left hand back down, you jab at the air in front of Twilight.

You hand connects with a invisible barrier that surrounds Twilight.

"So. . Magic also forms barriers." You whisper to yourself. "Is there anything magic can't do?" You ask.

"I'm afraid I'm not fully aware of the limitations of magic. But if you wouldn't mind, I'd like to talk about something other than Magic." She picks the pot off the stove and scoops a small portion of the beans into a small bowl.

She hands the bowl to you, "Tell me what you think."

"Spoon?" You ask.

"Oh, right." She pulls a spoon from a basket and hands it to you.

You properly position the spoon, before scooping it into the bowl, you pull a small amount of beans out and shove it into you mouth. You chew the beans, then swallow.

"I'd say it's done." You announce, while eating the rest of the beans in the bowl.

"Great! I'll make some more then. Also, there's sandwiches in the basket over there, help yourself." She starts dumping multiple cans of beans into one pot.

You grab a couple sandwiches from the basket and start eating, when the beans finish cooking, you eat more of those. Rainbow eventually returns and the three of you have breakfast, talking of Twilight's and Rainbows adventures once again. They do not bother asking you to tell a story after last night.

Breakfast is love, Breakfast is life.

After breakfast, the three of you gathered up the tents and repacked the bags. Then you and your posse set out in the direction of the crashed ship, the walk was long and boring. But you endured, and you eventually found yourself nearing the crash.

The ship was emitting a SOS signal, the one your suit just-so-happened to be picking up. It was a recorded message of one of the COMM guys, it just kept repeating over and over again.

"MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY! This is Sergeant Kimly of the Locust! I'm requesting immediate aid from any nearby ships! We're suffering high casualties! Strang. . Ole. . . Dea. . Help!" The message started cutting out, then it simply repeated, you could hear the cries of men in the background.

You feared the worst.

You jumped over a fallen tree and pushed a large branch away, you allowed Twilight and Rainbow to walk ahead of you before you released the branch and followed after. Your suit's HUD had a beacon marked in the direction the ship, you stopped playing the SOS signal after you listened to dozens of men die again and again. Their agony forever saved in your memory, you didn't bother sharing it with Twilight and Rainbow.

After walking past several more trees, the large ship came into view. It was crushing dozens of trees beneath it, the long line of crushed trees was a shining example of the damage it caused during it landing. Whatever tree it didn't happen to crush during its emergency landing, stood tall and proud, blocking sunlight and giving the forest the illusion of night time.

You approached the ship, the word LOCUST was written in bright red on the side of the ship.

"Whoa!" Rainbow announced, breaking the silence of the forest. "This thing is huge compared to the other one!"

"This is amazing! Anderson, are these the warships of your world?" Twilight asked, while running her hand against the metal. She took a few steps back and pulled out a scroll, she started scribbling something down, occasionally looking at the ship.

"Warships are built for the sea Twilight, this was built for the endless abyss that is space." You reply, while admiring the ship.

"How do we get inside?" Rainbow asked, while stepping next to you.

"We'll have to find the docking area, there should be a door we can enter through. Though we're gonna need to get the credentials to do so." You start walking around the hull of the ship, looking for a ladder.

"Credentials?" Twilight spoke, a look of curiosity on her face.

"Yeah. Should be easy, I've just gotta find a outer panel, hack my way in and steal someone's credentials. Then we should be able to enter with no hassle from the defense systems." You spot a ladder and start climbing.

"Stealing's not nice, or good." Twilight pointed a finger at you.

You stop climbing the ladder and look down at her, "it'll help us a lot more than it'll help the guy who owned it last. Now come on." You continue climbing up the ladder.

Rainbow flew up and above you, easily closing the distance between her and the top of the ship in a matter seconds. You grumbled something, then picked up your climbing speed. Completely forgetting about Twilight, who barely climbed 1/4 of the way.

After reaching the top, you pulled yourself up and admired the view, which just consisted of trees and more trees. Though there was what seemed to be ruins in the distance, and the city of Canterlot was still visible.

As you patently waited for Twilight, you started small talk with Rainbow.

"So, what do you think we'll find?" You ask.

"Maybe a awesome laser gun! If we find one can I have it?! Please!" She gave you the puppy dog eyes.

"No." You instantly reply.

"Why not!?" She whined.

"Because, you're the last person I'd trust with a laser rifle." You deadpanned.

She, 'huffed', and held her arms against her chest, a almost cute expression on her face.

You were about to say something, but then Twilight's hand appeared over the edge, you walked over and offered one of your hands. She gratefully accepted, and you helped her up.

"Now." She huffed. "Let's go find this panel."

"Way a head of you, I spotted one while Rainbow was babbling nonsense." You point at a dimple in the hull of the ship.

"Hey!" Rainbow calls out.

"Come on, this'll take a while." You approach the panel and collapse on your knees.

You attempt to open the panel, but was met with the resistance of a lock. You pull your fist up, intent on breaking the lock. But something grabbed your hand, you look to see Twilight calmly holding your hand in place.

"I got this." She stated.

She pointed her finger at the lock, her hand briefly glowed purple and then there was the sound of a lock, unlocking.

"Less violence on your end." She takes a step back.

"Uh, thanks." You gently open the panel and look at the computer screen.

Your fingers reach out and instantly start typing away, you bypassed the firewall, then quickly found the file with the employee credentials. You grab the one with the highest security clearance, which was 3.

"There." You stand back up. "We have access to some basic parts of the ship. Once inside, we'll have to search the crew quarters in hopes of finding security cards. Or I'll have to hack into a computer and steal higher credentials."

"Um, all I saw was a bunch of words and numbers." Rainbow scratched her head.

"That was simply code, don't worry about it. Now come on guys, let's get inside." You also stole maps of the ships basic layout, you had the map of the outer hull and one of the first layer, none of the rooms were marked.

"How do we even get inside?" Twilight jogged next to you.

"Docking area. There's a door well have to use, stay with me and you probably won't get detained by security personnel." You sat down and slid down the angled wall, you landed with a roll.

Rainbow came floating down, then Twilight followed after, she used magic to form a staircase.

"Is this the docking area?" Rainbow asked.

"Yeah, those long platforms are for smaller vessels to land on." You approach a door.

"Is this the entrance?" Twilight wondered aloud.

"Yeah. Hold on, I'll get this open." You bring your wrist up, a blue line shoots out and scans your wrist, moments later there's a PING! And the door opens.

"Cool." Rainbow comments.

"Come on." You step inside, Twilight and Rainbow followed.

The three of you wait in the room for a few seconds, then the next door opens. The three of you step into the hallway, there's 4 red squares on the ground with red feet drawn in the middle.

"Each of you step into a square, make sure your Right and Left foot match the drawing's. Face the glass and don't move." You step into a square, stand tall, then face the glass.

"What's gonna happen?!" Twilight asks, a sense of worry in her voice.

"The system is going to check you for foreign and possibly dangerous pathogens." You quietly respond.

The lights suddenly kick on, and three robotic arms appear from the walls, the two women freeze in place and stare in horror and excitement.

"Please stand still, this'll be over shortly." The synthetic voice of a female cooed.

The three arms started emitting a blue laser that completely covered your entire body, the other two arms did the same with Twilight and Rainbow.

Your laser suddenly turned red, as well as Twilight's and Rainbow.

"What's happening?!" Twilight shouted.

"You have foreign pathogens on you! We all have em'! It's just going to spray us with some chemicals. Stay clam!" The arm scanning you started shooting out a rain of chemicals.

The same happened for Twilight and Rainbow, Rainbow started spitting out chemicals, and Twilight reacted by flinching. This kept up for another 10 seconds, then the chemicals promptly stopped. Giving all of you breathing room.

The arms re-scanned us, it's beam didn't turn red and the female voice appeared again.

"Foreign pathogens eliminated, welcome aboard soldiers, and thanks for your cooperation." The door opened after this, giving you all access to the ship.

As the three of you stepped into the next hallway, Rainbow immediately spoke.

"More tests?"

"No, we just have to open the door." You respond.

As you approach the door you glance at a poster, it had a un-named AMAHS agent holding a assault rifle, it read, "We fight for everyone!"

You ignored it and opened the door, "Alright guys, this is were you'll stay."

"What! Why!?" Rainbow stomped forward.

"Remember? Possible dead humans? If you wanna go, I'm not gonna stop you. But you'll only be traumatizing yourself."

"You can be a real dick sometimes." Rainbow poked her finger at you.

"Yeah, well I try. Now, i'm going either way, with or with out either of you."

"I didn't walk all this way just to sit back and miss the good part! I'm going!" Rainbow dropped her backpack on the bench in the room.

Twilight sighed, "I'm going to regret this, but I'm going as well. This is a learning opportunity I refuse to miss." She dropped her pack beside Rainbows.

"Alrighty then! Let's go find the flight deck, follow me. And try to ignore any body's." You stepped out of the room and followed the holographic signs that led to the flight deck.

Both women gulped and followed after.

WARNING- POV SWITCH-WARNING
-----

As our hero and his companions explored the tunnels of the fallen ship, Locust. They encountered. . . Nothing. The halls were empty, and each room was bare of any kind of human life. Each room looked like its occupants abandoned it during it use, a lunch room had trays and food laying all over the floor. The only things still in place, were things that were bolted down.

Beds, cabinets, and of course. . Cars.

WARNING-POV CHANGE-WARNING
-----

"So this elevator we're about to take." Twilight examined the systems of buttons that commanded the elevator.

"It's taking us to the flight deck." You respond, there was a ding and the doors opened.

You stepped inside and the other two followed, once everyone was inside, you pressed the button labeled 'Flight deck'. There was a kick, and for a second, you though it was going to fall, but then it started moving upwards. Within 10 seconds you were already on the appropriate floor.

You stepped out and the others followed, you walked towards a couple computers and tried logging in.

"Is it just me, or does it seem like this stuff should have more security?" Rainbow looked out the giant glass window, she saw trees and trees only.

"There's usually a dozen people up here, a couple guards, the captain, and the guys who man the computers down here." You pat your hand on the computer you're trying to access.

"Is this, uh, computer locked?" She watches as you pull up some files.

"No, the last guy who used it, never locked it. Probably because he couldn't." You download the level 8 security clearance, it's only a level below the captain himself.

"Alright, let me find a map with the full layout of this place, and then we can find the armory, then maybe the vehicle depot." You pull up some other files and instantly spot, 'Blacktrot retrieval'.

You download the file and ultimately decide to read it later.

"Ready?" You ask, looking at Twilight and Rainbow.

Both nod and the three of you head out, back down the elevator, and then through several corridors.

"Armory?" Rainbow announces, pointing at the holographic sign.

"Armory." You repeat, in a more confident, and kinda scary tone.

You raise your wrist and wait as it scans you, moments later the laser turns green and the doors open. You calmly walk inside, there 4 long tables covered in all sorts of gadgets, the walls had guns attached to them.

It was fucking heaven.

"Shotguns, Assault rifles, Snipers, Rocket launchers, Sub-machine guns, handguns, plasma guns, laser gun, grenades, ammo to last a army. . . HAHAHA" you started laughing in a real creepy and scary matter.

"Anderson?" Twilight placed her hand on your shoulder.

"Hmm? Oh yes, I'm perfectly fine. Just living the moment, now if you'll excuse me!" You calmly approached the table covered in gadgets.

You grabbed a Digistruct kit, then the biggest HDD there was, you plugged the HDD into the Digistruct kit. Then you grabbed a specialized belt built for the Digistruct kit, you wrapped it around your waist then added the HDD and the Digistruct kit itself.

"What is that?" Twilight approached you.

"Digistruct kit." You respond. "It takes real items and turns them into a digital blueprint which then goes into the HDD. It's like a reversed 3D printer."

"That sounds. . . amazing! Anderson do you realize what this technology could do for the Equestrian populace!?"

"Nothing." You respond.

"Wha-?" She recoils in surprise.

"Everything you see here is property of the American government. I'm not just gonna give it away." You link the Digistruct kit to your AMAHS suit.

"But you could help many!" She shouted.

"This is a military ship, the most you'll find is some medical equipment in the medical bay. So unless you want to make your nations military the strongest on this planet, take one of the many handguns, and give it to the military." You grab a standard issued handgun and toss it to Twilight.

She catches it, and holds its up with 2 fingers, "Uh, I don't actually approve of violence, so you can, uh, keep this." She placed it back on a table.

"I'll take it!" Rainbow raised her hands.

"No." You quickly grab the handgun and place it with the others.

"Aww man come on! I'm mature enough!" She whined, while throwing her hands in the air.

"You could've fooled me." You cast your gaze upon the row of shotguns.

"Pump-Action, Semi-Auto, Full-Auto. So many options, so little space to put it all." You move on to the Submachine guns. "Red-dot, Extended mags, silencers, grips, heart-beat sensors, so many options!, so little space to put it all!"

"Isn't that why you grabbed that Digistruct kit?" Rainbow thought aloud.

"Yeah, but I've mainly used it for carrying ammunition. The one time I tried keeping a handgun in it, it misfired, nearly killing a friend of mine." You grab a Pump-Action shotgun.

"GTS-45, Standard issued, reliable, deadly, 12gauge American shotgun. I'd rather have this than my handgun." You attach the shotgun to your left primary slot.

( The left part of your back, there's the left side and the right side )

You start grabbing boxes of 12gauge shotgun shells.

"So. . How do you Digistruct these?" Rainbow pulled a shotgun shell from the box.

"Easy." You grab a box of 12 shotgun shells and hold it by the Digistruct kit, you activate the kit through your suit and a laser beam scans the shells. The shells turn into blue spheres and fly towards the kit , the kit consumes them.

A small screen appears on your suits HUD, (so legit)

------------------------------------------------------
| HDD Space left- 1/ 50,000 gigabytes |
------------------------------------------------------

Recognizing round type. . . 12gauge. . . Rounds ready to deploy.

Total 12gauge- 12 / N/A

"There, now I have 12 shells ready for use." You start grabbing more boxes of shells, adding them one by one.

After you finished adding as many boxes as you wished, you ended up with 180 shells. One box of 12 shells equals 1 gigabyte, your HDD is roughly 50 terabytes, which is over 50,000 gigabytes.

( if you wanna get technical, it's around 50,200 gigabytes.)

"Alright, now you have it. How do you get it back?" Twilight was scribbling notes down.

"Again, easy." You hold your hand in front of the kit, a blue laser forms a holographic sphere, a single shotgun shell forms inside the sphere.

"Amazing!" Twilight scribbles down some more notes.

You pull the shotgun from its magnetic holster on your back, then insert the single shell. You don't bother cocking it, and instead reattach it to your back.

"Now." You clasp your hands together. "I'm going to help myself."

You slide over to the Submachine guns, you grab the P-32. You jog towards the assault rifles, you decide to keep Lewis's assault rifle, but you grab a bunch of mags, and some more boxes of ammunition.

If you just Digistruct the bullets, whenever you try to reload, you'll only summon the bullets themselves, no magazines included. You have to load the magazines before hand, THEN Digistruct them. This isn't a game, it's real life.

Then you jog over to the Sniper rifles, you browse the 2 selections, then instantly grab the B78c4, it fires a .338 Lapua Magnum. A very dangerous rifle, meant for long range firefights.

At this point, you began questioning were you're supposed to carry all this. Your AMAHS suit comes with two magnetic holsters on your left hip and right hip. Two magnetic holsters on both sides of your back, mainly meant for two-handed weapons. Your Sas-24 was using a leather holster, and was not using any of your hip holsters.

There is no physical way you can carry as many guns as you'd like. You'd be a walking army all on your own. Though. . . There's always the vehicle depot. Maybe you could fix a car? Maybe even a VTOL aircraft?!

Actually. . . Fuck that.

You fix cars, not airplanes.

New goal, find a four-wheeler, check the damages, attempt to fix it if possible. Then, load it up with guns and ammo, and maybe even a couple boxes of grenades.

Maybe.

You place the sniper on the table and immediately leave the room. Your sudden disappearance caught Rainbow and Twilight off guard, they rushed out of the armory, were Rainbow barely spotted your figure turning down another hallway. They rushed after you.

"What the heck Anderson!? You just left us!" Rainbow yelled from behind you.

"Car." You state. "Must find, must fix, must use." You approach the elevator and press the button.

The door opens and you step inside, the other two followed. You pressed the button that led to 3rd lowest floor, that's were they kept the land vehicles. There should be plenty of power tools laying about, some may even still be on the rack, though there's a very low chance of that.

The crash shook everything up.

The elevator doors opened and you stepped out, you walked through the corridors and eventually found the vehicle depot. It was just as you pictured, there was jeeps with LMGS attached to them, four-wheelers, and even a broken VTOL.

Broken as in, missing its entire left wing.

Though you can make a guess on were it went, yep that's right, it completely impaled a jeep. That very same jeep had its entire front smashed in by another jeep engine, your guess as to how, was this.

Mechanics are fixing a jeep, they pull the engine from said jeep, something happens, everyone disappears, engine gets thrown from its brace, it tears through the wing of a already malfunctioning VTOL, then it slammed into another poor jeep, completely crushing the hood.

You fixed cars, but you wasn't a miracle worker.

You'll just have to find a car with a easily fixable problem, your best bet was looking through the Head mechanics computer. You search and eventually find a little room in the corner of the bigger room. The room was complete with a small desk and a even smaller laptop.

You sit down in the office chair, the windows in here had a perfect view of the larger room, you watched through the window as Twilight and Rainbow examined the broken motor vehicles. You pressed the power button and waited as a logo appeared, only to then faze away as the monitor showed the home place.

You pressed a few buttons and found a file named, 'FIX LATER.'

In the file was a number of cars, ranging from 0-21, though you only read the first '6'

#1- Jeep. DAMAGE- N/A. REASON- Vehicle destroyed in firefight. SIDE NOTES- I've already requested a replacement vehicle

#2- Jeep. DAMAGE- melted backside. REASON- Sustained heavy plasma rifle fire. SIDE NOTES- this vehicle was already decommissioned, we plan to scrap it and use it to repair a bit of the outer hull.

#3- Four-Wheeler. DAMAGE- Fried control board. REASON- Sustained damage from a EMP blast. SIDE NOTES- N/a

#4-VTOL. DAMAGE- N/a. REASON- simply requesting a reload. SIDE NOTES- Guns ran dry, pilots requesting a reload

#5- Four-wheeler. DAMAGE- Flat tire. REASON- drove over a nail. SIDE NOTES- Fucking idiots. . .

#6-Jeep. DAMAGE- littered in bullet holes, gas tank nearly punctured. REASON- sustained heavy fire in a firefight.

You inwardly cursed when you read about the VTOL, you could have totally used it. But it's obviously no use to you now, you glanced at the plane, it's missing left wing was mocking you.

You took interest in number 5 though, a flat tire was easy to repair. Though these computer logs were previous records, the Four-wheeler could be completely destroyed now. You shut the computer off and left the room, you searched through the rows of vehicles until you found one held to the ground with steel cables. It happened to be placed above the number '5'.

The chains kept the cars from moving, when you're in space and the occasional meteor hits the ship. You wouldn't want the cars rolling all over the place.

Safety measures.

You bring your foot up and then down upon the lock, it breaks and releases it's grasp upon the metal chains. You unwrap the vehicle and check it gauges.

"Needs more fuel, needs a new tire, needs some upgrades. Can't be that bad!" You lower your helmet and grin at Rainbow.

She doesn't know how to respond and simply says, "Yay?"

You start laughing, then turned to fetch the required materials. There was several jerrycans stuck in a rack, which was bolted to a wall, which also happened to be closed and locked. Opening it was incredibly easy, a swift punch and the lock fell apart. You pulled a Jerrycan out and checked its contents, nothing. You grab a another can, it was partially full. You check every other can and grab the ones that still contain fuel.

You quickly refuel the four-wheeler, then look around for a spare tire. You spot a load of tires laying on top of each other, once you approached the pile, the smell of rubber quickly filled the air. You sorted through the tires, tossing the ones that had no use, once you found the appropriate tire, you left it by the four-wheeler as you fetch the power tools.

-You replaced the tire, I really don't wanna describe the process-

You stand up and wipe your forehead, you were sweating, the air conditioning wasn't exactly working at the moment so it was incredibly hot. Now you just had to open the bay door, then clear a path so you can get out. Doing this was easy, you couldn't pick up all the broken jeeps so you just had Twilight help you move them.

You'd break the lock, then Twilight would use her magic to pick the car up, chains and all. Rainbow just sat on the four-wheeler and watched.

"Good job." You tell Twilight, then you pressed a button, then pulled a lever down, then inserted a code you got from the Head mechanic's computer.

The giant metal door slowly opened, revealing the forest and the mid-day sky, the door briefly stopped then resumed its journey upwards.

"Alright! Rainbow off!" You wave your hands at Rainbow, as if you were shooing a bird away.

She hops off and exits through the giant opening. You sit down on the four-wheeler and send the driver's key, the car recognizes the code and starts up.

( A digital key for the car, every future car is issued one, as they only work with the unique code they're given)

You place your hands on the wheel, rev up the engine, then put the petal to metal. You launch forward, the clear-ish path of cars gave you a clear shot to the outside world. You ramp off the edge of the bay and roughly land on the ground, you skid to a halt and turn the vehicle off.

"Alright! Looks like I got me a ride!" You hop off the vehicle and approach the bay.

Rainbow uses her wings to launch herself back into the bay, while you just simply Power Jump up and pull yourself in.

"Come on, let's get those bags you guys left behind. We'll pile em' on the four-wheeler and then we'll leave." You walk past the destroyed cars and exit the vehicle bay.

"I figured you'd grab more of those guns!" Rainbow announced.

"And I will." You look at Rainbow. "I won't be able to carry guns, bags, AND Twilight on the back. I'll have to come back here and get them."

"Me?" Twilight asked.

"Yeah, I'll be giving you a ride back. I'll carry all the bags so Rainbow can fly." You turn corners and press a button, the elevator does open and you step inside.

"I wanna ride on it!" Rainbow whined.

"Next time." The elevator doors opened. "Come on, let's get the bags then bring em' back down, I'll attach them."

You walk through the hallways, turning corners whenever it was necessary. Eventually you found the entrance, you opened the doors and allowed the other two their chance to grab their bags. They quickly grabbed them, then you and your posse walked back to the Vehicle bay. You grabbed some stretchy cords on your way out, once you exited the bay, you had the other two place their bags on top of each other.

You used the cord to secure them in place, then you had Twilight hop on. After double checking to make sure the bags wouldn't fall, you sat on the car and sent he driver key, the four-wheeler kicked on.

"Wrap your hands around my chest." You look back at Twilight.

"Okay." She wraps her hands around you.

"It's kinda awkward you know, with that shotgun and rifle on your back." She talked over the engine.

"Sorry, I forgot about those." You quickly hop off and tie your weapons in with the backpacks.

You sit back down and restart the engine, "better?"

"Better." She confirmed.

You give a thumbs up to Rainbow, who then crouched down and shot into the air, she was gone and out of sight in mere seconds.

"Alright Twilight, ready?" You rev the engine.

"Ready!" She pats your armor.

You twist the grip, and the vehicle shoots forwards. You couldn't go as fast as you wanted though, driving through a forest is pretty difficult. You carefully drove between trees, you used a rock as a ramp and scared Twilight, you also lost your shotgun so you had to stop and find it. That was fun!

That was also sarcasm.

But once you eventually reached the paths in the forest, you were capable of actually going at the speed you wanted. You quickly closed the distance between yourself and the exit, Ponyville was the next thing you drove too. You also ended up driving by Fluttershy's house, she was watering flowers when you suddenly shot from the forest, you probably scared the crap outa her. Twilight even waved to her as you sped by.

It was actually kinda funny.

Though the funniest part was when you drove Into town, townsfolk thought you were some kind of metal beast, so they kinda ran away. You drove by Applejack's apple stand, she looked at the both of you with a gaping mouth, then you drove by Pinkies.

She instantly recognized the two of you, then she somehow ran AND caught up with the four-wheeler, then she face planted.

Which was funny, yet very painful looking, she hopped back up though, chipper as can be.

You came to a halt as you approached the library, Twilight hopped off and looked at you. Her hair was a complete mess, but she had the biggest smile on her face.

"Fun?" You ask, your helmet came down, revealing your smiling face.

"Ohhhhhh yeaaaaaaah." She had a really dopey look on her face.

You pulled your rifle and shotgun off the backpacks and reattached them to your back. You grabbed Twilight's pack and handed it to her, she accepted it and went into her house. You watched her open the door, then close it.

You turn and look at Rainbow's pack, then you think, and think, and think, and then you realized you forgot your backpack.

"Fuck." You facepalmed.

The sound of beating wings made you turn and draw your handgun.

"Woah! Just getting my backpack." Rainbow raised her hands in the air.

You holstered your handgun and pointed at the only remaining bag. She grabbed the bag and waved 'bye' to you, before she took off into the sky.

You watched her fly away, then turned and admired the four-wheeler. It was gonna need a name, the "Locust" sounded good, you'd name the four-wheeler after the ship and it's Fallen Soldiers.

Yeah, "Locust" seems good.

"Now." You say, clapping your hands together.

"Lets get them gun's. . . . And my backpack."

Author's Notes:

SWEET JUMPING JESUS ON A POGO STICK!!!!!!!

I'm sorry this took so long guys, I'm not gonna lie. I really only work on this every 2 days, I write some, and then I wait 2 day's until I write some more. Bad habit I should get rid of. This chapter was also really hard to write, I feel like it started getting weak willed towards the end. Maybe you guys think differently.

Anyway, new chapter, and the end to the 3 part series.

Next chapter? EXPLOSIONS AND RPGS!!!!

Sounds interesting?

Quick question; what happens when you give a Rainbow a rocket launcher? SHE WANTS AMMO.

That's a lie, I can't promise what'll happen next. Point out mistakes, there is bound to be many.

PS- I'm thinking about answering some questions on the story and it's lore. If you guys wanna ask some questions and have them answered, send me a PM. I'll eventually make a blog with the questions and the answers. If you want your profile name mentioned, then say so, if you DO NOT want you profile named mentioned, say you wish to stay anonymous.

DO NOT. .

-Ask how the story will end

-Ask anything offensive or tasteless

That's really it, If I decide your question isn't worth answering, I won't answer it.

PS,S- once I get at least 5 questions, I'll post the blog.
