The sound of a gun clearing its chamber echo's in the armory and a teenage boy named Tyler. Tyler is 5'6 with coffee brown hair and light green eyes. He is from Brooklyn, New York he was doing the weekly weapons check in the armory to make sure all weapons are combat ready for their next mission all he has to do is check and clean five more guns and he's free to go to target practice. Checking the remaining five shouldn't take long if he speeds it up but if he's not careful he can make a mistake and a mistake is the last thing anyone wants in a firefight.
20 minutes later
After finishing the weapons check he yawned and decided to rest his eyes because he's been doing this since 5:00 in the morning and its 2:00 in the afternoon so he deserved a well needed break....
''BARK! BARK!"
Tyler's eyes snapped open when he heard the sound of his second best friend Riley is a germen shepherd, he was with him and his brother for two years and he's already looks full grown. It seems like just yesterday he was just a small puppy off the streets now he's a full grown guard dog with a really mean bite. But anyway, I think he's barking because he's hungry.
After a quick stretch he got up and he got his jacket from off the chair that he was sitting on. His jacket has seen better days small occasional rips here and there but was still presentable nothing his brother couldn't fix.
''Hey Riley want to have a race to the kitchen?'' asked Tyler.
Riley responded by happily barking and wagging his tail.
''That's what I want to hear come on boy lets go.''
As soon as he was about to start running there was a bright flash in front of his face it temporarily blinded him and Riley. When it was gone he heard the sound of paper hitting the floor when he looked down and saw it was a old looking scroll with a gold horse shoe seal for some reason it looked familiar he couldn't place his finger on it.
He got an itch on his left shoulder and went to scratch it as soon as he did he accidentally ripped off the patch that he had Johnathan put on there a month ago when he picked it up he flipped it over and saw it was the cutie mark crusader patch then he remembered where he saw the seal from but at the same time he thought it was impossible that it was the scroll from the my little pony friendship is magic season 5 finale.
''But that's impossible I thought it was just a tv show with its own fan based online story network I've got to show this to Johnny.''
''BARK.''
''Right after I feed Riley....I wonder what Johnny's doing right now?'' thought Tyler and continued his trip to the kitchen he began to wonder if the scroll was real or just a coincidence that both the seal and scroll looked like it came from the show.
It even has some wear and tear and it looks like its been used a lot recently he decided to hold on to it and show it to his brother he got to the kitchen and fed Riley some leftover steak he likes that stuff.
''now I have to go see Johnny about this scroll.''
In a vehicles hanger the sound of power tools working on a vehicle can be heard, not just any vehicle it was a custom matt black H1 hummer with the punisher skull on the door and hood. The truck was fitted with bulletproof glass and modified armored plating that is stronger than the armor plating that the military use's but also a 3rd of the weight to allow for more speed because of how light it is.
Some ACDC was playing from the stereo in the background and the guy that was working on the vehicle is Captain Johnathan Grey Phoenix. He is from LA California and has a fading diagonal scar on his right eye and some smaller one on his face. He is 6'2 with short jet black hair and blue eyes, he was sporting a mustache goatee combo that he's been meaning to shave for a while but never got around to it.
He was finishing on the H1 so he can move on to the other vehicles like the V-22 Bell Boeing Osprey, the UH-60A Blackhawk, Terradyne Gurkha F5 (the Rocks truck from fast five), the rally fighter (the cool looking cars from Transformers age of extinction), a custom 2014 dodge charger with neon green headlights, a custom 1969 dodge charger R/T, and two motorcycles a 2013 ZERO MMX military motorcycle and a 2012 Suzuki Inazuma 250. He was so focused on the other vehicles that he accidentally touched the battery and gave himself a good shock which caused him to fall and cut his right arm on the corner of the toolbox.
''Oww son of a-'' he hissed in pain and looked a the cut it was a pretty deep cut he silently cursed at himself for being so careless his wound began to heal instantly do to his healing factor one of his nine ability's that he has and he's been keeping it a secret from his brother even before he took him in.
His ability's are a healing factor, super quick reflexes, perfect precision, enhanced speed, high intellect, enhanced hearing, enhanced strength and teleportation, and the ninth one's a mystery as he hasn't figured it out yet because he always blacksout whenever he uses it and the day he got these ability's all those years ago is still fresh on his memory.
''Hey Johnny!'' he was brought out of his thoughts when he heard his little brother call him.
''Huh Tyler must be done with the weapons'' he thought.
''yeah Tyler what do you need?'' Ask Johnathan.
''Um yeah well you see I was on my way to feed Riley when there was this really bright light and when it was gone there was this really old looking scroll I thought you would like to know and see what you can make of it.'' Asked Tyler.
''hmm are you sure you just didn't drop another flash bang again like last time.'' Jonathan says looking very tired.
''Yes I'm sure you me and Riley are the only ones who can get in this base now come on man just look at this thing!'' Tyler said in a annoyed tone.
''hmm...alright sure hand it over'' Johnathan says. And as soon as he touched it the scroll began to glow with a very bright lavender aura and a weird rune began to surround them and got bigger until it was outside the hanger and possibly surrounded the entire base both brothers could do nothing but watch as the scroll glowed brighter and the base was engulfed in the strange rune with them in it as well.
Both brothers could only do the one thing that came to mind and that was try to run.
''THIS IS BULLSHIIIIT'' screamed Johnathan.
''HOLLLY SHIIIIT'' screamed Tyler. They didn't even get the chance to run as the base was transported to an unknown location.
