The fallen soldier

Chapter 43

I REALLY NEED TAH CHECK THE CHAPTER NUM

I WILL DO IT AFTER I FINISH WRITNG THIS CHAPTER, IN WHICH CASE I'L UPDATE THE CHAPTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

How does one take down a nation? That's a rather complicated question.

Do you leave enough for the nation to rebuild off what's left?

Or do you destroy everything in hopes it'll scar them?

Neither actually, your goal is destroying the military. Then letting the other nations do what they please. Word spreads quickly, and judging from what you've read. Griffonia has been doing some REALLY mean things to other nations!

Some of them would surely want revenge.

But wouldn't that just increase the amount of work you've gotta do? Or are you just gonna target their biggest military camps? A couple well placed C4 charges could destroy a lot. Maybe assassinate their generals? Some political figures? Maybe elect a new king?

You need to focus on one task at a time, you've asked these questions millions of times, first you must break into the city and secure some Intel. Meetings, location of the military bases, the whereabouts of the King. The basic shit. You don't want blackmail, you don't need blackmail.

You forced another .50 into a magazine, it clicked in place, that's another magazine ready to roll. You laid the magazine on a large pile of other magazines, ranging from assault rifles, handguns, Railguns, Sniper rifles, and shotguns.

You even had a Rocket Launcher jammed in the backseat of the VTOL. Its presence alone marked your seriousness. You considered bringing the mini-nuke launcher, but it's ammo is too volatile to fly with you. You don't wanna risky blowing yourself up.

Everyone knew about your plans, even Colgate. And she was.... Upset for the most of the explanation. Apparently you've been a really shitty boyfriend. Gone half the days, and drinking alone whenever you weren't gone. You offered an excuse, but she didn't take it. She's angry and butt-hurt, but you'll make it all up once you finish this project of yours.

It'll be over soon, and maybe you'll take her out to some resort. Equestria has those right? Whatever, Colgate just has to put up with it for another 2 weeks. Then you'll be home and able to do whatever she wants.

Be it sex, hanging with her friends, meeting her family, drinking together, firearm training (she expressed interest in knowing how to use a firearm), or flying in your VTOL.

Whatever she wants, you'll get it. As long as she waits just a little longer.

You forced another .50 into a magazine and laid it on top of the others, you stood up and stretched. You back popped and you signed, you'll be leaving for Grffionia today, but you'll have to stop by Canterlot. The princesses want to talk, and you've got some other matters you must attend too. Business matters.

You packed all the ammo and guns into the back seat, Whiskey won't be coming along for this trip. Maybe. You don't know.

You jumped in the front seat and closed the canopy, you shoved the pilots helmet on your head. You flipped some switches and turned the engine on, as it warmed up, you ran a quick system check. Everything checked out okay.

The pilots helmet kicked to life and all kinds of diagnostics and statistics started appearing and running down the screen. Eventually it all cleared and left your vision clear and safe for flying, the only remaining pictures showed any and all damage on the VTOL while also showing the amount of ammo left in both guns.

Both meaning the mini-guns, and the 6 rockets ready for fire. You had another payload attached to the VTOLs bottom, but that's for later, in case everything goes to shit and you need a emergency answer to an emergency plan.

Yes, it's a nuke.

It will destroy a city and maybe even more, and that's not counting all the other after effects. Radiated rain, dangerous amounts of radiation left in the air, etc.

You honestly weren't too comfortable with having it so close. It wasn't armed, since you've taken every safety procedure to assure this. It's just a hunk of metal stuck to the bottom of a plane. That didn't make you feel any better about sitting above it though.

( Imagine a Mini-Nuke from Fallout, now imagine it 5x's bigger. )

You flipped the hover switch up and wrapped your hand around a small lever. You applied pressure and gently pushed it forward, the VTOL began to slowly rise off the ground. You held the lever up and waited until you were 300 feet off the ground. You removed your hand and let the lever fall back onto its neutral position.

You yawned and scratched your leg, this was killing your sleep schedule. And it was gonna do a hell of a lot more once it all began. You flipped another switch and pressed a button before disengaging Hover-mode.

The VTOL vibrated for a moment, then the propulsion jets keeping it in the air cut off and allowed you and the plane to become victims of gravity. Insert free-fall for about 3 seconds, and then the kick of the back-end jets kicking on.

The VTOL lurched forward before taking off with a newfound burst of speed. The guns in the back shook back in forth, creating the worlds most annoying set of clanging sounds. But after raising into the air some more and stabilizing your flight, everything was dandy.

You had some gentle jazz playing through the pilots helmet while you sat back and let auto-pilot fly. Although it couldn't do what it normally could do -- with a lack of digital maps and the non-existing assistance of satellites -- the auto-pilot could do nothing more than fly straight and keep everything smooth.

You didn't particular care, after staying on this technology deprived planet for nearly half a year, you adjusted to the lack of technology. It wasn't a easy adjustment -- mind you -- but you did it never-the-less.

On the topic of technology, Vinyl has some kickin' stereo systems. Their basically just hunks of plastic with expensive and complicated spells controlling everything. Equestria does manage to possess some technology that surprises you.

How many can you think of at the moment? Well, Vinyl's stereo systems can be counted. And some kid with a really hot mom can usually be seen playing some Mobile video game thingy. It's this odd looking plastic lump that plays smaller plastics cartridges. Amazing little thing, really.

Uh, they have trains. And night-vision goggles (glasses with spells on the lenses). Every little piece of old fashioned tech have some spell which is the main reason of its existence. Equestria would die out if magic suddenly stopped working, the large dependency on magic could mean the fall of them.

Just a little something you should keep note of, no particular reason. No reason at all. Not like you've got some idea that the princesses might try and bury you with your technology. Not like you accidentally read a letter meant for Twilight.

You should invest some time into discovering the weaknesses of magic. Would a EMP freeze magic? And if it does.... for how long?

Author's Notes:

Wow... Sorry this took so long.

My excuse? The wonderful game called Fallout 4.

Anywho.

Do you guys want small chapters that tell things that are either supportive and or non-supportive to the main story? It should make it easier to wait for them bigger chapters. Last chapter would be a great example.

If you said "yes" to the last question, why don't you toss a few ideas my way? Something you'd like to see happen to Anderson (Or others, as It doesn't HAVE to be based on Anderson.)

Just try and keep it reasonable..........

Screwin' with you, I'll take any idea. Well almost any.

Stay Golden ppl, and I'm expecting at least 1 idea. If you wanna keep it a surprise to everyone else, PM me the idea.

(If you said "no" to the question, then..... Well I don't know really. Not like I can bully you for your lunch money.)
