Just Another Day; Good Work Delta
Chapter 57: Chapter 22
Previous Chapter Next ChapterAuthor's Note
I'm sorry for any inconvenience, but I'm not going to write about heat season. The reason why is because I already wrote a chapter about heat season already, and I don't like repeating chapters all too much. I may do a few repeats, but the maximum repeats I'm going to allow myself is three. Also, I'm making a character bio for all main OC characters next chapter.
Ponyville
The Crew
Saturday, 11:00 AM
Today was the first day coming out of heat season, and luckily none of us got caught and raped to death. Today was meant to be a normal day, or at least that's what it said on the forecast. Until dark clouds appeared out of nowhere, I looked to Rainbow, who seemed to be just as shocked as I was. I looked to see that it was over the Everfree Forest, but it was in the most dangerous place there. It was in the old castle, and honestly I don't like ancient ruins, they could have many surprises in them. I had to see what was up though, I can't leave this unattended because I felt something very familiar come from that storm.
"Alright, I'll be right back guys. I'm going to take a look inside of the Castle of the Royal Pony Sisters. Don't come looking for me no matter what." I had my ODST armor on at the time, I polarised my VISR and went inside of the forest.
"You have a crazy husband Rainbow." Kaptn mumbled to her, she nodded.
"Perhaps even crazier than Pinkie. Even she wouldn't go into the Everfree alone." They both laughed. On the other hand I was bushwhacking with a machete as I made it to the castle, and something odd was happening at the time. There was something inside, and it was still alive, because I could see it through my VISR. It was highlighted friendly, and it was a human girl? There's another human? I jumped through the broken window and checked if she was still in good condition, she had a pulse, but she was heavily injured. I took out my Tic-Tacs and made her take two.
"Thank...you..." She managed to croak out, I picked her up and I took her to Fluttershy's Cottage as quickly as I could. She looked very familiar, she was a dirty blonde, but had mostly blonde hair, and her eyes were brown, she looked all too familiar. She was a former member of Delta 0-1, but she was moved to the S.A.S. years ago, it's been like 9 years since I saw her last on a joint operation. Her name was Helena Wilson, the last time I met her she was a Corporal, but that was nine years ago.
"Oh, my. Drew set her down, this might take a while." Doctor Fluttershy is in the house, I wonder how Helena even got here, I didn't do it, and I don't think either Cadence or the princesses would've done it. Maybe this place does have some magical powers, like what Twilight's been telling me this whole time.
Helena's Point of View
I don't know what happened to me, but I was putting in work on a mission, until I got blown up by an ambush, and now I think I'm being carried by my former C.O. Hours later I wake up to me in a rural cottage, there was no electricity, and it looked a lot like the 1800's. I looked around, and I saw a cute little bunny hopping around with a butter coloured pony.
"Oh, you're awake!" She trotted over to me. Did I just hear that pony talk? I stared at it for a good long minute, but she then started to hide behind her mane.
"Did you just talk? And where am I?" She didn't talk, but someone else was in the room as well.
"Welcome to Equestria, Helena. Where talking ponies exist and magic is an everyday thing." I had that 'What the fuck?!' look on my face, and Drew chuckled. Or at least I think it was Drew, he had his personality and form of my old C.O.
"Drew? Why are you a pony? HOW are you a pony?" I asked, he chuckled. I fainted, this was too much for me, I never fainted in nine years, this is the first time in nine years. When I first joined Delta, I thought they would be the most sophisticated during missions, during my first mission, I found out they were the craziest out of the bunch. I was the 'normal' one out of the whole Crew, I'm surprised I'm still sane after all these years.
"After all these years, how are you still in one piece?" I heard Drew say, I slowly got back on my feet. I shrugged, and checked for my stuff, I had my Beretta 92FS still with me, and a few other pieces of equipment too.
"Your stuff is all there, I put in a little present of mine too." I took out a charge, smaller than C-4 though. I threw it into the air and caught it single handedly. Just so you know, I've developed quite an accent while in the UK, and I was moved from Drew's unit about 10 or 11 years ago. The coincidental thing is that whenever these boys are around, something odd happens, and by far this is the most odd. Talking, bright colored, pastel, cartoon ponies?
"A bit girly for you Drew, I thought you guys were the best of the best in Delta." I brought out the kid side of Drew, my favorite part of the game.
"But I am!" He whined, I laughed and patted him on the back.
"I know, I'm just yanking ya' chain luv." He was taking me to some place, I thanked Fluttershy for watching over me while I was unconscious.
"Where are you taking me?"
"Oh, our house. I think it's time I introduced you to the Crew. They've been replaced, Jack and the rest of the team are dead. Also, just to warn you, another surprise is waiting over there." He's being very vague with his surprises, I hope this doesn't end up killing me in the end.
"So Helena what rank are you now?"
"Colonel, sir."
"As you notice you're not on Earth anymore. You're talking with the leader of this country's Special Forces." I guess since I'm stuck here I'm not going anywhere.
"Does your rank carry over? Because I've worked nine years to gain this title." Drew laughed, and shook his head, my expression saddened.
"Gotcha! I'm just kidding, I can pull a few strings for you." Man, I've missed these guys, I can't believe I've forgotten them for so long, and now I'm talking to ponified Drew!
"So, are you going to stay or?" He asked, I nodded and smiled. He gave me a set of street clothes, it had denim shorts up to my lower thigh and a pink faded shirt. I guess I'm back in the Crew, but I have yet to meet them.
"Ahh, we're here. Guys I would like you to meet Helena, I never mentioned her in my old squad, because you never asked."
"Ahh that's fucked up man." My guess is that one's Nick, I knew him from pictures Drew showed me when he was a child. He introduced me to the new-ish Crew, they welcomed me in with open arms, just like Jack and the others. Then, after all introductions were made, a cyan pegasus made her way downstairs.
"Drew, who's this woman?"
"Oh, one more thing. Helena, this is my wife, Rainbow Dash." My jaw was hanging low again.
"Drew, always getting the girl, eh?" I mocked, both Rainbow and Drew blushed, we all laughed, and it's true too. I sat down, and looked around, everything's been happening so fast I hadn't had the time to look around the place.
"Nice place, did you do something life risking to get this money?" He looked at me like I was crazy, but he nodded.
"I guess you really were the normal one Helena." He chuckled, but I just stared at him. He then brought me to a night club, in which he said a pony named Pinkie Pie was throwing me a party, and that I was meeting royalty. He pointed towards an approaching carriage, with two Alicorns, just like Drew.
"You must be the new human, welcome to Equestria." Drew told me to bow down, I guess this was the royalty he spoke of.
"It is very nice to meet you, uhh..."
"Princess Celestia, and that over there is Princess Luna. We are also related to Drew, believe it or not." I looked over to Drew, and he nodded and headed into the bar. We talked about things and current events happening right now, but I just don't understand why this place is so familiar to America.
"Tell me Princess Luna, do you by any chance like video games?" Yes, I knew of the My Little Pony show back on Earth, it went on for about a hundred seasons, I haven't been keeping track after that.
"I got Haylo 4, it just came out! I can't wait to play it! I also got the Black Clops 2 Ponstige edition! I'm getting a Dragon Fire!" Well, I guess that solves that. Princess Celstia giggled, but kept her manner. I went inside of the night club, it was everything I thought it would be. There's a dance floor, a bar, and a singing stage, oh and what looks to be Pinkie Pie doing a microphone check.
"Hey Helena! I'm Pinkie Pie, and you probably met the others. If you didn't let me introduce them to you! So there's Applejack, Rarity, Twilight..." She introduced me to all of them, and I already met Rainbow. They all seemed very nice, I guess knowing Drew has its advantages. Tonight I don't think the stage was getting used, just drinking and having a good time, catching up on where I left off. I am forced out of my world and just plopped into this one, just like Drew and the rest of them. They all seem like a nice group, but I don't think they were as serious as Jack ever was.
"Helena, we would like to say that you're back in the Delta Force. You're going to be in Delta 1, my squad." Oh god, he would put me in his squad wouldn't he? Humans do tend to work better in small squads, they are quick, efficient, and combat ready within minutes.
"So, you knew the boys back before they even met?" Celestia asked me, I nodded.
"Sorry but no, I only knew Drew and Nick. We went to school together, before everything happened to him. Poor guy." I took a swig of whiskey, this stuff was pretty strong. And I never knew ponies drank either.
"What was Drew like back then?" Rainbow came up to me, I thought about it for a moment.
"He took everything like it was a joke, before his old unit all died out." Drew did a spit take, and we laughed at him, I can't believe he's related to the princesses to be honest.
"There's just one thing, I don't have a place to sleep." I crossed my arms.
"Just live with Drew, we have a roomy basement you can crash in." Ahh, basements. I remember those, I was tortured in one, but since it was Drew's house I didn't have to worry about that.
"Where are you from? I can tell you have an accent." Twilight asked, I put my hand on my chin.
"I was born in America, but I lived most of my life in London, England." I think she, "Squee'd," but I wasn't too sure. I went back to the house to crash for the night. Back at the flats I looked in their fridge, and what I saw perplexed me.
"Nuka Cola? Where did they get this from?" I asked myself, I took a bottle and took a swig to counter the alcohol from earlier, it had no radiation surprisingly. I went down to the basement they spoke of, and I looked around for a bit.
"Zach was here? I guess I'm not the only one who visited the boys." I went under the bedroll and fell asleep. I needed it after arriving here out of nowhere.
"I think I like it here." I said to myself, and I was out cold just like that.
