"Fear not the men in red. Sure there are occasional complaints about their over-aggressive policing, wanton destruction of people's property during raids, mass arrest, misplaced loved ones and whatnot. Hey, we're only human! Running a city can be tougher than it looks. Imagine how much worse it would be if the Metal Heads were in charge."- Baron Praxis Propaganda, Jak2

Few weeks since arrival

It's been a few weeks but I managed to get in the Krimzon Guard. It wasn't really that hard, except how they choose which squad I went in. I had to fight all of the Squads from Alpha Squad to Gamma Squad.

It was funny really, they tried so hard but lost without me breaking a sweat.

Flasback: Recruitment center

"Just sign here and here." Said the krimzon recruiter. After I signed my name, he lead me to a library to read on the cities many laws.

"Ha! I ain't reading all that, it's just complete bullshit." I said, pointing at the large book with the Krimzon guard logo.

"Meh, suit yourself." He said as he handed me some armor.

"I'll give you a few minutes to put it on." He said as he sat down and grabbed the huge ass rule book and leaving a gun on the table.

It took me a little while but I finally put in the fucking armor, and honestly it's actually pretty light. After I made sure that the armor was correctly put, I grabbed the helmet and proceeded to put it on. After that was done, I went by the table the recruiter is at and grabbed the gun.

"It seems that you're finished. Good then let's get going, I got shit to do, unlike other ponies." The recruiter said as he closed the book and lead me to the trainig grounds.

Once we made it there, He pulled out a whistle and blew it, making all the guards stop what they were doing and stood in line awaiting orders.

"New Recruit, so I suggest you all give 'the test' for him to join one of your squads." He said as he began to walk out. I looked back at the other guards and saw that they were preparing a little ring for fighting. One of them looked at me and shouted.

"Come in newby, you got a test to take!" The guard shouted, as the others were finished with the ring.

The fighters on all squads have been chosen, all that I needed to do was step in. After I stepped in, a random guard showed up with a megaphone.

"Welcome Krimzon Guards to the infamous test given to all recruits!" He shouted through the megaphone, gaining some shouts of excitement.

"Rules for this are: if the challenger wins against a squad, that squad will be available if he wants to join. First match: Gamma Squads very own, Jinx!" He shouted as he pointed at Jinx wearing krimzon guard armor except for the helmet. The guard signaled for the fight to start.

I hauled ass towards Jinx and jumped kicked him, kicking out a few teeth and knocking him out cold. The audience went quiet for a few minutes, till one of them started cheering like a maniac causing everyone else to join in.

Something like this

"Well, that was something!" Said the guard with the megaphone as he was trying his best not to laugh.

"Now for Omega squads Tiny!" He yelled out, pointing at the guard with a little to much muscle if you ask me.

"You're going down, motherfucker!" Tiny yelled out, entering the ring and cracking his knuckles.

It took him five minutes to tap out, making all the other guards laugh at Tinys misery. The guard with the megaphone came back, holding in his laughter.

"Wew, I didn't know arms could bend that way. Anyway, next match a deathbot from Charlie squad: UR-86!" He shouted as a KG deathbot walked in and looked at me, he moved his arm up and held up his fingers as if it was a gun and fired.

The match ended with UR-86's head thrown towards the engineer from Charlie Squad, making him lose consciousness. The Guard with the megaphone came in with a look that screamed 'Holy Shit!'.

"Can anyone defeat this new recruit!?" He said, waiting for someone to step in.

"Guess I'll have to teach him a lesson." Said a voice filled with way too much ego, that I could even smell it. The one who stepped in was this worlds version of Errol except he's a griffin.

I assumed my battle stance and got ready, Errol did the same.

"Next match: Alpha Squads Errol." The Announcer said, trying to sound enthusiastic.

"Begin!" He said as he ran his ass back to the sidelines.

Errol went ahead and tried to do the exact thing I did to Jinx, as he extended his leg, I grabbed him by the foot and proceeded to smack the shit out of him.

After thirty second of Errol being pounded to the ground, I finally let go of him, leaving him in a whimpering mess. The crowd began to laugh their asses off, including the announcer and Tiny with his arm still bent the wrong way.

As they carried Errol off to the medical room, what looked like a Pegasus of Torn stepped in the ring.

"So, you the new recruit?" He asked as he took his armor off for a fair fight.

"Yea. Your names Torn, right?" I asked, using the voice modifier. He nodded, answering my question.

"Yeah, it is." He said, getting ready for the fight. The announcer saw this and went to grab his megaphone.

"Ladies and Gents! We have here the next exciting match of the new guy Vs Commander Torn, of Delta squad!" He shouted, gaining everyone's attention.  

As the announcer got out, Torn wasted no time in attacking, he gained the first hit and knocked off my helmet. The smirk he had, he though he won already. With his fist still planted on my face, I turned to him with a bored expression.

"Is that all you got?" I said as I grabbed his fist and started hitting him with it. The crowd couldn't believe their eyes, Torn, was being hit repeatedly by his own fist.

"Why you hitting yourself?Why are  you hitting yourself?" I said, as I kept hitting him with his fist.

Torn decided enough and gave me an uppercut with other fist. That did hurt, enough for my lips to bleed that is. He kept delivering punch after punch, not giving me enough time to dodge. The only thing I could be able to do to get out of this mess was slow down time with my light powers , so with all the strength that I had left, I raised up my hands and clapped making time slow down. While time was slowed, I got up and hit Torn in every pressure point, then resuming time again and saw Torn fall, paralyzed on the floor.

"I win." I said as I helped Torn up and hit his pressure points again, making him regain his movements.

"How did you move that fast?" Torn asked as be got up and looked at me.

"I just can." I said as I picked up my helmet and soon left the training grounds, back to Surprises shop.

Flashback end

"Be advised, there have been reports of theft in this sector. Suspect was described to be a little filly, arrest and if needed shoot her on sight if she resists." I heard H.Q say through the radio. 'This can't be good.' I thought.

"You heard H.Q, move!" Shouted Cpl. Siv.

We've been patrolling the Slums for two hours straight and found nothing.

"Sir, are you sure this is the right sector?" Asked Private Simmons, looking at Siv.

"It better be or I've been wasting my time for nothing." Siv said. 'Why did Torn put me with this guy?' I thought myself. I noticed in the corner of my eyes, a little alicorn filly hiding in an alley. I wasn't the only one who noticed, Siv pointed at her and shouted at her to give herself up, making the filly run away.

"Sweet, something to shoot at." Siv said, prepping his gun and started to chase the filly. Simmons turned to look at me while taking off his helmet.

"Siv can't do this! We have to do something!?" He said as he got ready to stop Siv.

"Way ahead of you." I said, aiming my gun at Siv's leg and fired, making him fall down while holding his leg in pain. I turned to Simmons while reloading my weapon.

"You go and hold Siv while I check on the girl." I said gaining a nod from him as he went to hold Siv on the ground.

I went ahead and started running through the direction the filly went and found her hiding behind a few empty Eco barrels with what looked like her little sister. A midnight blue Alicorn filly with a light blue mane, the other filly looked to be a couple of years older. She has a pearl white coat and a very light pink mane.

The older one was comforting her little sister, telling her that everything will be okay. I proceeded to take off my helmet in attempt to look friendly.

"Hey, you two okay?" I asked them. The older Alicorn stood up in a defensive position in front of her sister.

"It's okay, I'm a good guy. I came here to see if you're okay." I said to them. They still didn't trust me, the older one took out a necklace and gave it to her sister.

"How can I be sure that I can trust you?" The older one asked.

"Because, I just shot my teammate, who was chasing you, in the leg and left him there." I said pointing at the direction I came from. The filly looked up at me in surprise.

"You saved us?" She asked me.

"Well, yes I guess I did." I said to her.

"Where are your parents?" I asked them, causing them to look down in sadness.

"We don't have parents." Said the older one. I finally got a good look at the little one, it was Luna.

"What are your names?" I asked, sitting on a barrel of Eco.

"My names Celestia and this is my sister, Luna." Celestia said, pointing at her sister.

'Well, I just found this worlds version of the princesses but why are they living in these conditions?' I thought to myself.

"Motherfucker went this way!" I heard Siv shout on the other side of the alley. I turned to the two fillies with a worried look.

"Come on, I'm going to get you out of here." I said as I grabbed my helmet and put it back on. I put my gun on my back and latched it on to my armor, I turned back to the fillies and picked them both up and started to run from the guards.

'A few weeks in the guard, and now I'm going against them again, great.' I though as I jumped a fence and continued to run with Celestia and Luna in my arms. When I finally made it out of the alley, I saw a hover-car parked next to a bar. I got on and started the car and drove to Surprises Shop.

It wasn't long before I saw Torn in front of his hellcat. I stopped the car, and he walked towards it. As soon as he was on the side, he saw the two fillies scared out of their minds then turned to me.

"It was a gun malfunction, causing your weapon to fire automatically.I'll see you later." He said as he walked back to his hellcat , as he got there he looked back at me and pointed a thumb for me to go. I saluted him and drove off.

PoV: Torn

After Jak drove off, I got in my hellcat and drove off towards H.Q. to report his gun 'malfunction' to the reports. 'The Barons going way too far with this shit, I've got to find the Shadow.' I thought as I drove by the rebellions base. ' Someones got to rise up against the bastard or I'll have t do it myself.'
