Ponyville Training Center / The Crew / Tuesday, 11:00 AM
Drew's PoV
We were going through one of the toughest training courses that Shining Armor built during our absence. I then placed a C-4 on the door and breached the room, shooting dummies on my way in. We managed to finish the course in record time, 90.05 seconds to be exact, managing to beat the old record by 15 seconds. We then heard a distant explosion coming from the main entrance, it sounded like a breach.
I then made my way to the entrance along with the rest of the Crew, grabbing our guns as we passed by our locker rooms. We then saw a group of ponies dressed up like thugs pour through the hole in the wall, shooting at us on sight. I should've known, Dark Mist was behind it all, he broke out of prison a few weeks before now.
"Well, well, well. Look at what we have here? The Equestrian Delta Force is it not?" He mocked. I just spat at the ground in front of him, still pointing my gun at him.
"What do you want from us?" Nick barked, all Dark Mist did was let out an evil maniacal laugh.
"It was what I always wanted. To take over the command of the Delta Force of course." He replied, Jhon finally snapped and shot one of his thugs, killing him.
"Now, now. I don't think you should've done that Jhon." He then grabbed out his sidearm and shot Jhon in the leg, making him fall on to his back. I then went over to try and patch him up until a bullet impacted the ground in front of me.
"I'm fine! I got Tic-Tacs!" Jhon yelled over to me. Tic-Tacs was a nickname we gave our health pills, they healed every wound inflicted on anypony once ingested. (Resident Evil 6 Reference! Lol)
"Now, turn over the Delta Force to me, and we'll be done with this." He spat at us, I just laughed as I shot stasis at him, making him confused. I then tackled him to the ground, disarming him in the process, and I put him in handcuffs. He then ordered his men to shoot at us, and we ducked behind some cover avoiding getting shot at.
"Flashbang out!" Kaptn yelled over to us. We then put on our ear muffs and sunglasses, it was a training facility so they were plentiful. The flash then made the goons stagger back, and we put them down with a shot to the leg. We then loaded all of them into a carriage where it would take them to a maximum security prison, hoping that this would be the last of Dark Mist.
"Well, that escalated quickly." Jhon stated out of the dead silence.
"Mhmm, hopefully we won't be seeing that prick anytime soon." Nick said, putting his gun back into his locker, safety on of course.
"Where did they get that equipment is what I want to know." I asked, they all nodded in agreement. We then made up plans on how they got that equipment, the Black Market maybe? Were they working for the Ultranationalists? We may never know the answer to this question unless we investigated more on that matter, but we were too lazy to. We questioned it as we walked back to our house, and then Rainbow tackled me to the ground. Why hello ground, nice meeting you again. 'Hey Drew! Lovely weather we're having!' I could've swarn the ground just responded to my question, but screw it Rainbow had something to say.
"Hey Drew. You said you would do something with me today?" Rainbow got off of me, I did say that earlier as a matter of fact.
"Okay, but what is there to do?" I asked, she had an idea I think she's been waiting to tell me.
"I want you..." She poked me in the chest, "...to teach me how to use a gun!" What?! Rainbow actually WANTS to use a gun? That's just crazy.
"Wait, wait hold on a second!" I took out my canteen, and did a spit take.
"*pfffft* Okay *cough* You want me to teach you how to use a gun?" I asked. Not to my surprise, she nodded in excitement.
"I don't know Rainbow, guns aren't toys you can just wave around town." Jhon said, he was on my side, but I guess she had her reasons to want to use a gun.
"But what if you guys were on a mission and Ponyville gets attacked or something?" She asked, she did have a point there, but I had come up with something.
"Princesses Celestia or Luna would take care of it, they're not always busy y'know." I replied, I had her beat, but I did have to teach her something about fighting if she were to ever get in trouble.
"Fine...only because I love you and I don't want to see you get hurt." I said, I then pulled out a modified M9 with no trigger guard. I showed her how to properly hold one, gun safety, and how to shoot.
"You have to promise me you'll only use this in emergencies. I don't want to regret teaching you how to use this." I said, giving her the gun, she then fired it at a nearby pumpkin, making it explode. Rainbow then put it back on safety and handed it back to me.
"Back at home, lessons on how to use a gun takes 6 times as long. You just completed it in 10 minutes." I said, kissing her on the cheek.
"I am a pretty fast learner." She boasted, I just laughed as I let her ride on my back while we headed home. Hopefully in my lifetime here, Rainbow won't ever use a gun. I wouldn't count on it though, mysterious things happen in Ponyville every once in a while. I then made my way to the living room, where the whole Crew was hanging out, I also had in hand Princess Celestia's now patented Nuka-Cola brand, now radiation free! Turns out it sold really well the past five years, and there's vending machines everywhere, there are at least two here in Ponyville. They also were sold in six-packs over in the street market, the princess had special ponies to sell it for her.
"Damn, they have some pretty whack television." Nick said, looking at a cartoon with humans in it, turns out it was us four, on TV.
"I guess I forgot to tell you that you guys are famous. This show's been going on ever since like last year." Rainbow said, chugging down her soda. This was a surprise to me, how do they sugar-coat it so much! I guess this was one of those cartoons that aimed for little colts as an audience, because of all the action. I then started to watch the cartoon show based on us, it turns out the show is called, 'Just Another Day.' That's just weird, I heard that saying before, but I don't know where.
"Well, I'm going to take a nap! See ya'll later!" Rainbow said, making her way upstairs. I had nothing to do the rest of the day, so I decided to patrol Ponyville and see what I could find. I put on my hipster clothes and went out, with Goldie concealed under my jacket. My pants were sagging, I didn't have a hat on, I had GloSpex, and I looked ridiculous.
"Drew, why do you wear your clothes in such a ridiculous fashion, dear?" Rarity saw me walking around town, I had to admit, I looked pretty funny looking like a gangster. I then fixed my pants, threw off my jacket and tied it around my waist, and I turned off my GloSpex.
"Better?" I asked, she giggled and nodded, I said goodbye to her as I continued my daily stroll through Ponyville. I then made my way to Twilight's Library, only to find that she's upstairs.
"Hey Spike, how you doin?" I asked, he them came up to me to give me a brohoof.
"Oh, just helping Twlight with her spells and such. How's it goin with you?" He replied, I had told him about today, and he had that gleam in his eyes.
"I wish my life could be as eventful, I have to be a victim of Twilight's spells." He grumbled, I then chuckled and asked him something.
"Hey Spike? You want to see something funny?" I snickered a bit. He nodded and I pulled out a weak flashbang, showing it to him and telling him what it does.
"Okay, I'm going to throw this into Twilight's room, and when she comes out, she'll fall down the stairs. I want you to put a throw pillow at the bottom of the stairs so she won't get hurt." He went with the plan, I headed over to the door to Twilight's room.
"Flash out!" I then pulled the pin and then heard the flash detonate and a girly scream, she then wobbled her way outside and fell down the stairs, landing on the cushioning throw pillow. As Twilight got back to her senses, Spike and I were laughing our asses off, she then humphed and went back to studying in her room. You know what? I just found out that I have an unlimited number of Flashbangs, along with my unlimited amount of C-4 and C-5, that's cartoon logic for ya. Cartoon logic can save your ass more than I can count, running out of flashbangs would be the end for me, not to mention C-5.
"That's not funny Drew. Spike shouldn't you be doing something?" She snapped, Spike responded with a, "No." While I was still laughing, and then Spike still continued laughing as well. She then picked up the dead flash and examined it.
"Drew what is this?" She asked, I described it in the best way possible, straight to the point and very simple. I then asked her to some outside to see something else, I was showing her what C-5 is.
"This is C-5, the explosion of this is much more lethal than a flashbang, so I would recommend standing back." She then took a step back. I placed the C-5 on a nearby boulder and detonated it, leaving a pretty good sied crater in the middle of it, Twilight's jaw was to the point where it couldn't go any lower.
"That was so awesome! Do yo mind if I can take a look at your C-5?" She asked, I then tore a piece of the plastic explosive and molded it into the shape of her cutie mark, and then into Princess Celestia.
"It can me molded into any shape or form, that's the good part about it. It's also highly magic resistant." She then tried to mold it with her telekinesis, only for her to cause quite a struggle to try to do so.
"Wow, that's pretty resistant to magic." She chuckled, I then left her Library, leaving her with the shape-shifting substance.
"Okay Twilight, this isn't a toy, so don't set it near any fire, because it burns. It won't explode either because I took out the detonator." I explained, she then took the block of C-5 with her magic and placed it next to her bust in the middle of the room. I then decided that C-5 isn't for the civilian use so I rushed back in, took the C-5 back, and left, the whole time I was in there I had a very good poker face.
I then made my way over to Sugarcube Corner, I didn't eat lunch or breakfast so I was starving.
"Hey Drew! What can I get for you today?" Pinkie leaned over the counter and asked.
"I think I'll take a box of doughnuts." She then took out a box of a dozen doughnuts and I laid the money on the table, leaving to go enjoy these back at the house.
"Oh goodie! Doughnuts!" Kaptn said, taking the one with a chocolate icing on it. I took the custard filled doughnuts myself, eating them as fast as I could because I was that damn hungry. I then made my way to bed, because I was bored and there wasn't anything to do. I tend to fall asleep when I get bored, or just tired after what happened today. I put up my gun in my gun safe in the closet and went to sleep, this seriously messed up my internal clock, but I didn't give any fucks whatsoever.
