Staying Sane In A Peaceful World
Chapter 34: Chapter 33: He Tried and Failed Part 3
Previous Chapter Next Chapter"What were you thinking of telling us?" Rainbow Dash asked.
She looked down at her hands. "Well you see..." She looked back up. "I'm not who you think I am."
"What do you mean?" Fluttershy asked.
"You're from an alternate world and you're a pony princess there and the crown actually has a magical element embedded in it that helps power up other magical elements, and without it they don't work anymore, and you need them all to help protect your magical world, and if you don't get the crown tonight, you'll be stuck in this world and you won't be able to get back for, like, a really, really long time!" Pinkie Pie said.
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure that isn't it" Rainbow Dash said.
"No. Pinkie Pie is right" Twilight said.
Everyone, minus Pinkie Pie and Twilight started laughing. "That's a good joke, Twilight" Applejack said.
"Watch" Twilight said. She took out the small radio Tran gave her and pressed a red button on the small device.
A few seconds passed and nothing happened. "What was that for?" Pinkie Pie asked.
The door to the clothing store burst open as two people walked in. It was Logan and Tran.
First Person Point of View
Logan and I rematerialized into existence inside the store where Twilight was supposedly located at. Logan had once again landed face first while I landed on my feet. We got up and hid our weapons from view.
I checked my glasses. I opened up a tracking interface. A dot appeared on it that directed me towards Twilight. It pointed towards a nearby clothing store.
Logan and I entered the store. Upon entering, I spotted Twilight with her friends.
"Twilight, that was only for emergencies" I said.
"I'm telling them the truth" Twilight said.
"Which one?" Logan asked while getting up.
"That she's a pony princess" Rainbow Dash replied. "Seriously, the joke's getting old."
"She's telling the truth" Logan said.
"Not you too!" Rainbow Dash said.
"Watch" I said. I snapped my fingers and my cane appeared in my hands. I snapped my fingers again and it turned into its iconic katana form.
"So. It could have been one of those magic tricks like from the show" Rainbow Dash said.
I took off my backpack and placed it on the floor. "Follow me." I opened it and jumped into it. Inside my backpack. I landed on my feet. Shortly thereafter, Logan and Twilight followed in. Again, Logan landed on his face while Twilight landed on Logan.
"Sorry!" Twilight said.
"It's fine" Logan said, getting up.
"Weeeeee!" I heard coming from the entrance. I watched as Pinkie Pie came fell through the entrance. She landed on Logan and knocked him over.
"Oh come on!" Logan yelled out. Pinkie Pie got up and dusted herself.
I looked up at the entrance. "Now for the others" I said.
Then Rainbow Dash's head appeared in the entrance. "Whoa! Is this for real?" Rainbow Dash said. She jumped in. I knew that it was a twenty foot drop from the entrance to the ground inside so I ran to where she was going to impact the ground and caught her. "Thanks!" I set her down.
"Oh my stars and garters!" I looked up to see Rarity. "You were telling the truth, weren't you, darling?" Rarity asked. She jumped in and I caught her like I did with Rainbow Dash.
"What in tarnation?!?" I looked up to see Applejack. "Is it exactly safe tah jump?".
"Don't worry, dear. Tran will catch you before you can hit the ground" Rarity said. I set her down on her feet to catch Applejack.
"If you say so" Applejack said. She jumped in shortly after saying that. I caught her like I did with the others. "Much obliged." She tipped her hat while saying that.
"Hey Fluttershy, jump in! The water's fine!" Pinkie Pie said.
No response. I guess Fluttershy left. I looked down to face the others. "Well, since Fluttershy isn't coming. I-" I was interrupted by some screaming. I looked up to see Fluttershy. Oh dear. She crashed into me, knocking me to the ground.
"Sorry!" Fluttershy said. She was literally sitting on my back.
"No it's okay. You only landed on my pistol." I also only broke four ribs, ruptured my appendix, and cracked my spinal cord. Nguyen had analysed my body upon Fluttershy landing on me.
"What was that about pistols?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Fluttershy, will you be a dear and get off of my back, please?" I asked.
Fluttershy, realizing that she was still sitting on my back, scrambled to get off of me. "Sorry!"
"Its all right" I said. I lifted my shirt and jackets to check my wounds. Once I had lifted my shirt, blood started flowing from my chest to the floor. "Well, damn." I lifted up my jackets and shirt even further revealing that two of my ribs had pierced through my chest. "Oh dear."
"Oh my god! We should get you to the hospital!" Rarity said.
"Tis but a scratch; I've had worse" I said.
"You're ribs are pierced through your chest!" Rainbow Dash said.
"It's just a flesh wound" I said. I pulled my jacket and shirt back down. "And you were asking about pistols?" I asked Rainbow Dash. She nodded. I reached behind me and pulled out Yin and Yang from their custom hidden carry holster. Grabbing the two pistols, I threw them in the air and caught them by their barrels. I held out both 1911 long slides to them. "They're both custom M1911a1 long slides with compensator muzzle brakes, custom sights, custom grips, custom engravings, and custom armor piercing and anti-personnel rounds that are fed from a single stacked magazine. Both are charged with my powers increasing their damage multiple times over." Rainbow Dash grabbed Yang while Applejack grabbed Yin.
"Powers?" Applejack asked. She was pointing Yin into the ground, aiming down the sights.
"Of course. I'm a medium powered negative energy being" I replied.
"What?" Pinkie Pie asked.
"In Layman's terms, I'm a devil." Rainbow Dash and Applejack started pointing Yin and Yang at me. "Hah! That'll do nothing to me." I popped my neck. "Besides." I pulled out my Beretta 92fs and my Walther P99 and pointed them at the two girls who were holding me at gunpoint. Then Yin and Yang fell apart fell apart in their hands and fell to the ground. "No one ever gets the upper hand on me. Though..." I placed both pistols back in my inventory. "I don't hurt anyone that doesn't deserve it." I scooped up the parts that made up Yin and Yang and started reassembling them.
"What do yah mean? Aren't yah the devil?" Applejack asked.
"Kinda. I'm insane, violent, dangerous, and that I'm a devil but I am relatively a good person. It's the same thing as an angel that acts evil" I explained. I had finished putting the parts back onto the frame of Yin.
"So basically, you're saying you're a good devil?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Eeyup." I finished putting the parts back onto the frame of Yang.
"Then exactly how are you the devil?" Rarity asked.
"Good question. I originally got my title of a damned being by killing a damned being. I kinda stole his powers" I said. I finished putting the Yin's slide back together.
"Does being a devil do anything?" Fluttershy asked.
I smiled. I finished putting together Yang's frame. Then I snapped my fingers and I was enveloped in a cloud of black smoke. When it cleared, I was once again in my demon trigger form. "This is technically my true form" I said. "Other than looking evil, I'm stronger, faster, and more resilient to many things. Unfortunately, things like gold, silver, and enchanted objects can severely injure me."
"More resilient?" Pinkie Pie asked.
"Watch." I finished putting together Yin and Yang and holstered Yin. I placed Yang into my mouth and pointed it at the roof of my mouth. I pulled the trigger. *BANG*
Third Person Point of View
The eight of them watched as Tran pulled the trigger. *BANG* The super charged round of the .45 ACP/DT round pierced through the roof of Tran's mouth and entered his skull. The sheer power of the round completely obliterated his skull and continued flying away. Tran fell to the ground as he was missing the upper half of his skull.
They watched, jaws dropped, as Tran laid on the ground with his skull leaking an excessive amount of ichor black blood. "Well, that was a bit excessive" Logan said.
"Oh my god!" Applejack said.
"He just killed himself!" Fluttershy said.
"He was insane!" Rarity said.
"He should be fine" Logan said.
"Are you kidding me?!? Why would you let Tran do something like that?!?" Twilight said. "He's our only way back! The portal closed already!"
"Nah. He should be fine. I'm pretty sure Tran's had worse" Logan said.
"He's kinda missing the top fucking part of his fucking head!" Rainbow Dash said.
"Maybe you should look at his body" Logan said.
All eight of them looked back at Tran's corpse, only to find that his corpse was standing up. The blood that stained the ground flowed back into his body and the bits of his skull flew from their resting spot back to their intended positions on Tran's skull. The injuries slowly faded away, revealing a blank head. Within minutes the hair grew back and Tran was back to normal without so much as leaving a mark of what had happened. "That is always fun the second time!"
First Person Point of View
"That is always fun the second time!" I said. I popped my neck. "Always leaves a little kink in my neck though." I popped my neck again. Rarity fainted.
"Hubba what?" Pinkie Pie asked.
"How? What? Hew? You know what, you're Tran" Twilight said.
"You really are a devil" Applejack said.
"Eeyup. Being a devil also makes my eyes black pits" I said.
"So you're not really blind?" Fluttershy asked.
"No. It was just an excuse. No harm intended" I said.
"It's fine."
"Anything else you want to know?" I said.
"Exactly what are you doing here? You're a devil. What would you ever need in our city? Wouldn't you already have everything you need in your own personal hell or something?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"No of course not. Who would want their own personal hell? Literally, you'd be suffering the greatest pain in your life for the entire time you spend in it. Even for devils! I may be a masochist but that is a bit extreme. And to answer your first question, we're here to retrieve a very powerful artifact that was stolen by a certain person, or pony in our world, from your universe."
"Sunset Shimmer?" Pinkie Pie asked.
"Eeyup" I replied.
"That no good meanie!" Pinkie Pie said.
"Wait, if you're here to retrieve something, exactly why aren't you using your powers to do as so?" Rarity asked.
"Well, I'm a devil and my two friends are basically the opposite, angels, from our world. Contrary to common belief, all angels aren't white with white wings. It would cause too much of a hassle to try to blend in, take care of, or travel between worlds. Also, all powerful beings aren't exactly all powerful. We're powerful but not all powerful. We all have a limit to what we can do and we're not immortal or ageless. The only exception to this rule is our leader. Due to reason of possibly killing all religion there is, I can't disclose who he is." I picked up Yang from where I dropped it when I shot my self. "And me using demon powers to collect a holy artifact? That's a good joke."
"What are you exactly looking for?" Rarity asked.
"A tiara. It's supposedly this year's crown for the princess of the Fall Formal" I replied. "And yes. That is exactly why we're trying Twilight to win the election."
"Then why do you have four pistols?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"I don't have four pistols. I have an assault rifle with a grenade launcher, two shotguns, an anti-material rifle, a flamethrower, a magical sword bow, two submachine guns, a plasma pistol, hundreds of grenades, eleven pistols, and more melee weapons than I can count." I snapped my fingers. A large table appeared. I walked up to it and started placing every single one of my weapons. Every single one of my firearms was laid down on the table. While every single one of my firearms laid on the table, only a number of my melee weapons was on the table. They were The Sparda, the Axe of Perun, my energy sword, Agnus and Rudra, my diamond Minecraft tools, Beowulf, Cerebus, Palutina's bow, my three throwing knives, and the knife my friends gave me during Hearth's warming eve. My flamethrower was also laid down on the table. It was back in it's original size and form, disintegrated from my backpack.
"Get a table out for me" Logan said. I snapped my fingers and a table popped up next to my table. He took off his weapons and placed them on the table.
"We are constantly armed because where we're from, we often need them. The two of us, along with five other members of our group, have kill possibly hundreds of thousands of beings" I further explained. I snapped my fingers again and my A-10 appeared. "That's a recent addition."
"Is that a fucking A-10?!?" Logan yelled out.
"It's MY A-10. I've customized it with various rockets, drop bombs, and an anti-tank gatling cannon. I recently enchanted the jet to fly faster, longer, and survive harder hits. I turned the gatling cannon into a rail gun."
"It has a fucking automatic gatling rail cannon?!?!"
"Eeyup. It fires 30mm charged cannon rounds at 4200 rounds a minute."
"Um. We don't exactly know about much of this stuff, but me, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie have a question" Rainbow Dash said.
"What?" I asked.
"Can we try them?" the three of them said.
I smiled. "Yes."
-X-X-X-
I directed the three of them to my indoor shooting range where the three of them each chose one of my/Logan's guns to shoot. Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie had gone with us to shoot while Fluttershy and Rarity stayed with Twilight Sparkle in another area of my backpack. Gee, I wonder what they're doing. Oh well.
For shooting, Rainbow Dash had chosen my Barrett M107 and M4a1 and Logan's SPAS-12 while Applejack grabbed my Remington 870 and AA12 and Logan's UMP. For some reason, Pinkie Pie grabbed all of my pistols (minus Yin and Yang) and my two submachine guns.
"Have any of you fired a gun before?" I asked.
"I have mah daddy's old Remington 870 Wingmaster and ah little .308 bolt action. Every now and then, I have tah use it on bears and wolves" Applejack replied.
"Every now and then with my dad" Rainbow Dash replied.
"Nope!" Pinkie Pie replied.
Logan face palmed. "Do you even know how to use a gun?" he asked.
"Nope!" she replied again. Logan face palmed again. She picked up my MP5k and expertly loaded it with a standard 30 round magazine before HK slapping it. Then she did the same to my MP7a1. I noticed how she kept her finger off the trigger and displayed good muzzle discipline. Oh Pinkie Pie, you defy physics/life so much.
"Let's get this started!" Rainbow Dash said. She picked up my M4a1 and reloaded it with a standard 100 round beta magazine instead of my 150 round Armatac magazines.
"Alright" Applejack said. She picked up Logan's UMP. "How do yah load this?"
"Pick up the magazine and insert it into that hole in the bottom of the gun. Then pull the charging handle" Logan replied. He handed her a standard 25 round stick magazine. Applejack took it and started to load the UMP. She started to struggle loading it when it came to the charging handle. "Pull the charging handle down, then pull the charging handle back. Right now, it's in a safe position."
"Thanks" Applejack said. She did as Logan said and chambered a round.
"Ready?" I asked. Everyone nodded. "You may commence firing!" I snapped my fingers and several human silhouetted targets appeared down range. The three of them opened fired and lit up the shooting range. The three of them were doing fairly well with hitting a human sized silhouetted target fifteen yards away but then again, fifteen yards is nothing.
I pulled out Yin and fired a round into the air. The rail gun charged, demon power infused round emphasized the gun's loudness. The three girls looked at me.
"What?!?" Rainbow Dash screamed.
"Time for the harder targets" I said. I snapped my fingers and smaller, one foot by one foot targets appeared twenty-five yards away. They smiled and continued firing. Then I felt something tap me on the shoulder. I turned around and saw Logan. "Yeah?" I watched as Logan's mouth moved but no words came out. Gunfire, that's right. I snapped my fingers and a small bubble. "Yeah?" I repeated again.
"Can I take that hog up in the air?" Logan asked.
"You don't even know how to pilot a jet" I said. "I don't need you crashing it!"
"Don't worry, my Nanosuit will just hack into it and help me pilot it" Logan said back.
"You mean hack the on-board computer that is controlled by my AI, Nguyen?" I said back. "I'm pretty sure your Nanosuit can't bypass Nguyen." I looked back where I "parked" my A-10. "And I'm pretty sure Nguyen won't let you fly him."
"Damn. Well, I will eventually fly your A-10" Logan said.
"Like heck you will" I said back. A ripple appeared across the bubble. I looked where it came from and saw that Pinkie Pie was tapping on my bubble. I dropped the bubble. "Yes?"
"Got any clay pigeons?" Pinkie Pie asked.
"Skeet?" I asked.
"Skeet" she said, confirming my question.
"Wait, don't you need a shotgun?" Logan asked.
"By the way, can I borrow a shotgun?" Pinkie Pie asked.
I snapped my fingers and a large case appeared. I opened it up. "Is that a Saiga 12k? Logan asked.
"Yeah. I bought it for Alex. It came with some ten round mags" I replied. A Saiga 12 is a Russian semiautomatic shotgun based on the AK47 platform. This one sported a ten round magazine, a pistol fore grip, and a folding stock. The k in the name meant this one was a shorter, cut down version.
"So you're giving Alex one of the best combat shotguns in the world?" Logan said.
"Eeyup" I said.
"You sure that's a good idea?"
"Eenope."
"Are you sure that's a good idea to give to Pinkie Pie?"
I looked over to Pinkie Pie who had been listening to the entire conversation. I picked up the shotgun and handed it to her. "Eenope" I answered Logan.
"Yeah he's right" Pinkie Pie said. "Wanna join?"
I snapped my fingers and two more rifle cases appeared. I handed one to Logan and picked up the other one. Logan opened up his case and pulled out a pump action shotgun. "An Ithaca M37 Stakeout?"
"Eeyup. It has a five round tube with standard rounds" I replied. "I bought it for Austin." For those of you who do not know about guns, the Ithaca M37 Stakeout is a standard pump action shotgun. The one Logan was holding sported a pistol grip. I pulled out a shotgun from my rifle case.
"Oh, a cut down "terminator" style Winchester model 1887" Logan said.
Logan was right, it was a Winchester Model 1887. It had a cut down stock and sported a special lever meant for spin cocking. Also, if you don't know what a Winchester Model 1887 is, it's a lever action shotgun. "Eeyup. Ten gauge. I bought it for Nick" I said. Logan was right.
"You got Nick a fucking ten gauge?!?" Logan said.
"Eeyup." Again, since there's a chance that some of you here don't know much about firearms, the ten gauge round is a basically a shotgun shell that's a bit larger than the twelve gauge. If a shooting a twelve gauge bruises your shoulder and knocks you over, a ten gauge will break your shoulder and send you flying back. They come in standard 3 1/2 inch shells and are noticeably more powerful than a twelve gauge. For easy comparison, a twelve gauge is .729 inches in diameter while the average ten gauge is .775 inches in diameter. Some of you readers should try firing a hand loaded, custom ten gauge 3 1/2 inch magnum shell. The first time I fired one, it send me stumbling and I'm Tran! That's the only time that has ever happened and I have shot just about everything!
I snapped my fingers and a box of shells appeared, floating in the air. I grabbed it and started to load the Winchester 1887. Five rounds. "Ready?" I asked. The three of us walked back over to where Applejack and Rainbow Dash was.
"Did yah get the pigeons?" Applejack asked Pinkie Pie.
"Yeperuni!" Pinkie Pie replied.
Rainbow Dash was holding Logan's SPAS 12 and Applejack was holding my 870. Pinkie Pie chambered a round in her Saiga 12k while Logan chambered a round in his M37. "Ready?" I asked.
"Yeah!" the four of them yelled out.
I snapped my fingers and five clay pigeons fashioned out of my magic appeared. They were all colored black. "Applejack, you're up first. You have five rounds for five pigeons. Don't use anymore." With another snap of the finger, they were sent flying away.
Applejack took aim and fired. Three out of the five were destroyed. "Well, shoot. I missed a couple" Applejack said.
"Hah! I bet I'll do better!" Rainbow Dash said.
"Same thing Rainbow Dash. Five for five" I said. With a snap of the finger, five more pigeons appeared and were sent flying. Rainbow Dash took aim and fired. Like Applejack, three pigeons were hit.
"Looks like yah didn't do any better than me" Applejack said. Rainbow Dash just frowned and grumbled.
"Pinkie Pie, you're up" I said. She took aim with the Saiga and started firing. She managed to hit four of the pigeons.
"Yippie! I win!" Pinkie Pie said. Applejack and Rainbow Dash stared at her.
"How in the world did you do better than the two of us?" Rainbow Dash.
"I don't know" Pinkie Pie replied. Rainbow Dash just face palmed.
"My turn" Logan said. He took aim with his M37. "Throw out ten pigeons for me." I nodded. He turned to face the range. I snapped my fingers and ten pigeons were sent flying down range. Logan quickly took aim and fired off five shots. Five hits. He quickly reloaded before firing off five more shots. Five more hits. "And that is how you do it."
Rainbow Dash and Applejack just stared at Logan. "Now how in the Sam hell did yah do that?" Applejack asked.
"I'm just skilled like that" Logan said.
"My turn" I said. I snapped my fingers and ten clay pigeons appeared in the air. I grabbed them and handed it to Logan. "Throw it when I say so." I took out a piece of clothe and blind folded myself. I racked the lever to the 1887. "Now." Upon Logan throwing the ten pigeons, they let out small electronic pings. Using my hearing I located where they were and took aim with the 1887. I fired off the five rounds I had and I quickly reloaded the lever action shotgun before taking aim again. I fired off the remaining five rounds and pulled down my makeshift blind fold. "How'd I do?"
"Yah hit all ten!" Applejack said.
I racked the chamber and unchambered the empty shell. "Eh." I set the 1887 down on the table. "I think that's enough for the day." I grabbed my weapons and teleported in some rifle cases.
The Next Day
Today was the day. After school, starting at 7 PM was the Fall Formal. The only thing thing I didn't like about it was that I had to go to the Fall Formal. I've said this before and I'll say it again. I hate social outings. Parties, dances, parades, and the works. Irritates the hell out of me. I'd rather get blown to pieces than to go to one but here I am going to one. Should I nuke my general location? Hmm. Go to a dance or nuke a city. Dance or city. Dance. City. Why must hard decisions like this appear! Why? I guess I choose the *Shivers* dance.
I had just finished my first period and I was walking to my second class period. For some reason, something felt... off.
*BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG* The ficken? Those were gunshots! I turned around and spotted two students. The first student was armed with an AR15 and had a Stevens 12 gauge pump action slung on his back. The other student was armed with a Marlin 30-30 and had a double barrel shotgun on his back. A school shooting. This isn't good. I set my cane next to a locker for safe keeping.
The one with the AR spotted me and started taking shots. Five rounds managed to hit me in the chest, missing my armored robes. The modern .223 rounds were easily more powerful than the black powder-propelled rounds the griffons used. Two bullets hit me in the lower chest, striking my spine. Two other rounds struck ribs, and fragmented, tumbling as it went through my body, causing more damage through tearing up my organs. The fifth was the only round that able to go cleanly through me. It only stopped when it exited my body, stopping at the armored robe covering my back.
The other student seeing that I hadn't dropped yet, fired his .30-30 lever action at me, hitting me in the lower stomach. The 30-30 round, capable of dropping a thousand pound moose, tore it's way through my body. Unlike the .223, it went through my body with extreme difficulty, dumping most of the power in my body. The round struck a lower rib and shredded my intestines. When it exited through my back, it left an exit wound the size of a baseball. After it pierced through my back, it pierced through my shirt and jackets on the covering me, finally stopping at my armored robes.
He racked the lever to his .30-30 Marlin and fired it again. It struck me center mass in the sternum, destroying the breastbone in the process. It kept on going and tore through my heart, collapsing the muscle/organ. Once it finished tearing past my heart, it struck and tore through my spine, exiting through my back and stopping once it hit my armored robe.
Before they could fire again, I ran behind a corner.
"Hah. Fucking idiot's still alive!"
"Let's change that." As that was said, I heard a pump action being racked. I heard the two of them walk in the direction where I was hiding. "Surprise." I felt the cold hard barrel of a gun poke the side of my head. I turned and saw the barrel of the Stevens model 12 gauge pointed in my face. "Survive this" he said. Behind him was his friend with his
I popped my neck before I cleared my throat. "Okay" I said. I pulled the shotgun out of his hands and smashed the butt stock against his left knee cap. I easily heard the loud sound of his knee cap breaking and saw the damage I caused. His leg was now bent the wrong way with the bone exposed on where his knee used to bend. With this, the student fell to the ground screaming in pain.
His friend with the .30-30 saw this and pulled out his double barrel but before he could do anything else, he was punched in the face with a clearly irritated Asian psychopath. He was sent flying back into a set of lockers. The lockers that he crashed into were easily dented to the point of resembling modern art. They weren't helpful to his flight but he somehow stayed conscious. While on the ground, clearly broken, I watched as he reached behind him. He pulled out a Glock. Before he could aim and fire it, I ran up to him and grabbed the pistol. In an instant, I twisted and wretched it out of his hands, breaking his index finger in the process. It was a Glock 21 (a .45 ACP Glock). I was quick to fire the 13 rounds that were contained in the Glock into the student's left leg.
*BANG* I felt a bullet impact my armored robe on my back. it easily broke a lower rib on my back. I turned around and saw the other student with a compact pistol. Most likely a .380. Before he could fire again, I threw the Glock 21 at him. The full sized Glock pistol impacted the student in the shoulder that was connected to the arm he was shooting with. He dropped his pistol. The pistol had been thrown fast enough, thanks to my demon powers, to bury itself in it shoulder. Only the grip and rear portion of the Glock's slide was visible.
I walked over to him, who was trying to pull the Glock out of his shoulder, and stood over him. "Nice try but simple idjits, like you, would not be able to kill me" I said to him. I picked up his dropped pistol. It was a Walther PK380. I remember this pistol! My gun nutty uncle had one! I fired the seven rounds that were loaded in it into his remaining good arm. As the slid locked back, I smashed the compact pistol into his other leg, shattering whatever bone was in his leg.
Finished with the two idjits, I looked at my injuries. I had five broken ribs, seven gunshot wounds with three large exit wounds, and my spine was now fractured in twelve different locations. My blood was flowing out of my gunshot wounds and were pooling on the floor, making a large puddle. I was losing blood fast. Fortunately, I could feel my demon body manufacturing blood at a fast rate. Unfortunately, it just wasn't fast enough. I could feel my demon powers attempting to reknit my wounds and replenish my blood but my wounds were too severe. Nguyen informed me that these types of wounds would take at least a week and a half to recover. Of course there was an even greater effect to my wounds. My shattered and very damaged spine affect my movement speed and I could feel my reaction time slowed down to a snail's crawl. The blood loss was affecting me. I was getting tired. Though, even with these injuries, I was still in somewhat working shape and it showed when I fought those two idjits. Then I felt a sense of lethargy. It must have been the blood loss. I had an estimated 28% of my blood left. You know what. I'm feeling REALLY tired right now. Those modern bullets were really effective. I know I shot myself in the head earlier and that I recovered in a matter of minutes but I was shot my pistols which were infused with my demon powers. I grabbed my cane.
I looked behind me and saw that students were just staring at the severity of my wounds.
"Holy shit!" I looked to where that came from and saw Logan.
"Hello" I said back.
"I know you're you but should we get you to a hospital or something?" Logan asked.
"Nah. Are there any casualties?" I said.
"Just one. A different student was grazed in the side" Logan replied.
"Okay, I think I'm going to..." What was I doing again. Wow I feel really tired. How much blood do I have? Oh. I still have 17% of my blood left. I should still be fine. Oh. Now I only have 16% of my blood left. "Go for a walk." I turned around and started walking off at a very slow pace. The students were nice enough to move out of the way, making a path.
"Oh my god!" I turned to face the voice and saw Luna.
"Oh. Hello Principal Luna" I said. More blood loss. I turned around and kept on walking but found myself on the ground. Stupid level floor. I yawned. "You know, I'm reeeeaaally tired." I could see my blood pool around my body.
I picked myself up and continued to walk. As I walked, I turned around and looked behind me. All of the other students, teachers, Luna, Celestia, and just about everyone else in the school was following me. I wonder why? Kicking open the front doors to the school, I caught the glimpse of several police cars and ambulances arranged in a barricade fashion around the school. Wow! Either police response time here is fast or it has been longer than I though.
I continued to walk at my slow pace. I made it to the first steps that led to the entrance of the school and looked at it. 'Here we go.' I stuck one leg out and tried to take my first step. I fell down the stares and promptly on my face, splattering the pavement with my blood. I stood back up and continued walking.
The police and the paramedics just stared at me. "Hi." I collapsed on the ground in front of them. I was still conscious and paramedics started running towards me.
"What the hell happened to him?!?" a cop asked.
"These two students just pulled out guns and started shooting. One student was almost hit and then there's him" a teacher explained. He was now pointing to me. "He was able to stop the two of them."
"He was seven gunshot wounds!" a paramedic said. "And is his blood black?!?"
"And?" I said.
"You're still conscious!?!?" another paramedic yelled out.
"And? The two students that were shooting are still in there. Though they're a bit preoccupied from the severe injuries I gave them" I said. I looked to my side and saw my blood was pooling around me.
"Get tweezers, an IV drip, bandages, a gurney, blood packs, and just about anything else we need!" a paramedic said.
"You better not put me under or I'll kill you" I said. I reached over and pulled out a cop's Glock 19. Due to extreme blood loss, I dropped the gun. 6% of my blood left. Oh dear. You know, my eyelids feel really heavy. I yawned and fell into the world of unconsciousness.
-X-X-X-
"Cut of those jackets and get a damn packet of this kid's blood if it's possible." What did he say about my jackets?!?
My eyes shot open and I roared in anger. I looked to where that voice came from and saw a man, most likely a doctor, in scrubs and he was holding a pair of scissors. I shot up from my lying position. I was on a hospital gurney and I was in a hospital, most likely the ER room. I got to my feet and started walking.
"How the hell is he walking?!? His spine is fractured a dozen times!" I heard the same man yell.
"Ah shut up!" I yelled at him. I looked around for my cane but found it no where. Logan better have grabbed it. I held up my hands and tried to form a ball of black magic. It worked, showing that I still had a lot of magic left. I snapped my fingers and I disappeared with the snap of teleportation.
I appeared on the roof of the school again. I heard soft foot steps and turned around. It was Logan and the Mane Six. "Do you have my cane?"
He handed me my cane. "Don't you need to treat those wounds?" Logan asked, pointing to the gunshot wounds.
I snapped my fingers and a medium sized large kit appeared in my hands. I lifted up my shirt and started applying the med gel to my entry wounds. With that, the entry wounds closed. The internal damage was still there but at least I stopped losing blood. By the way, what was my blood level? Nguyen informed me that I had about 23% of my blood.
"Are you okay? We know you have your powers but you were shot so many times" Twilight said.
"Yeah. I'll be fine" I replied. "So what's the sit rep?"
"Sit rep?" Rarity asked.
"Situation report" Logan replied. "There was a shooting and you got shot seven times. Plain and simple."
"And the Fall Formal?" I asked.
"Has been scheduled tomorrow" Pinkie Pie replied. "Now, the nice little police people are investigating."
"A shooting happens and the school is still going to host a little dance for the wittle students" I said. I coughed a few times. I used the sleeve of my robe to wipe my mouth. After doing so, I found it stained with blood. The Mane Six gasped when they saw this. "Must be some fragments lodged in my lung." I snapped my fingers and several twisted shards of copper and lead appeared in the air in front of me. "Modern bullets. I always hated getting shot by them." I stopped using my magic and the bullet fragments clattered to the ground. With those out of my system, my body could properly heal now.
I checked myself for anything missing. "Where are my pistols?"
"Police confiscated them" Logan replied. He smiled. "I stole them back." He tossed me a holster that contained Yin and Yang I took the two pistols and placed them in my hidden holster on the back of my pants. Heh. Some of you here do not know how difficult it is to conceal carry two 1911 pistols. Especially if they're custom long slide versions with compensators! Though my many, many jackets easily conceals them.
"I think it's time for us to prepare for the Fall Formal" I said. "Rarity, do you think you can make suits for the two of us?"
Rarity squealed from hearing this. "I get to make suits for powerful beings from a different universe!" she squealed out.
"Oh god" Logan said.
-X-X-X-
Logan, Rarity, and I were now in the school's fashion club (why would this even exist?) and Rarity was taking Logan's measurements.
"How long is this going to take?" Logan asked.
"Not long at all! I am a professional!" Rarity replied. Are you now? You are only a senior so that makes you either 17 or 18 years old.
"Rarity, after you finish the suit, can you add a few things to it?" Logan asked.
Six hours Later
Rarity, you lied. It took three hours for you to make Logan's suit. If that isn't long, then I'm Bruce Lee. In the end, Rarity made him a pretty nice three piece suit. It had the standard night black trousers and double breasted jacket/coat that had shamrock cufflinks. The shirt he wore was dark burgundy and the vest he wore over it was striped black. In his only pocket that was positioned over his left breast was a handkerchief that was the same color as his shirt. The tie he wore was colored black and on the lower portion on the tie was his cutie mark, the Illuminati's all seeing eye.
It took Rarity another three hours to make my suit. I decided against a handkerchief but it was very much like Logan's. Like Logan's, it was a double breasted jacket/coat except mine had .45 acp shell casing cuff links. Everything about it was black. The coat, the trousers, the vest, and the tie was black. There was only one thing about my three piece suit that wasn't black, my shirt that I wore under the coat/jacket.
"Nice work, Rarity" Logan said. He was standing with his left hand in his pocket.
"I agree" I said. I looked at my bundle of clothes that I usually wore. I pulled out Yin and Yang and teleported a custom dual rig shoulder holster that I modified to hold Yin and Yang. I was quick to put on the dual rig holster. I holstered both Yin and Yang. "Now we wait for tomorrow."
The Next Day
I looked at my bottle of sake. I swirled the bottle a few times before taking a sip. Alcohol, the only thing that can take it away. Everyone drinks alcohol for something whether they're stressed, need help forgetting something, or just can't take the norms of society. Me? Alcohol takes it away. I don't have to do anything for anyone anymore. I don't have to worry about anything. It just gives me a sense of relief. One of the very few things that helps me relieve stress. Helps put me to sleep too but it gives me the most livid of dreams. There is nothing to worry about but this isn't the case. I have to do something. I have to attend that Fall Formal.
I changed into my suit and equipped my dual shoulder rig with Yin and Yang. I took out a piece of gum and popped it into my mouth. Time to go.
-X-X-X-
I stood in front of the school. It wasn't time for the Fall Formal to start yet as I was half an hour early. I had hidden my backpack behind a bush and I had my cane in hand. I heard the distinctive sound of car engines. I turned and saw two cars, one black and the other white, heading towards the school. Both parked in front of the school and one person stepped out of each vehicle. It was Celestia and Luna. Luna was wearing a dark blue dress with black high heals and a crescent moon penchant. Her sister, Celestia, was wearing a white dress with a sun penchant. They were just like their Equestrian counterparts. Even their cars showed it. I walked up to Luna's car. It was a BMW 7 E38. Beautiful car, people. I remembered that this was the same car used by Jason Statham in the first Transporter film.
"Hello" I said.
"You're that student that was shot seven times! Shouldn't you be in the hospital?!?" Luna said.
"You could say that I'm special" I said back. I walked up to Celestia's car. It was a white third generation Audi A8. Another beautiful car. Very.. High class. I grabbed the front end of the luxury vehicle with both hands and started lifting. The front end of the car slowly rose up. "Like I said, I'm special." I set the car back down.
"What are you?" Celestia asked.
"In some worlds, I'm known as the Crazy Asian. In other places, I'm known as Tran. In the plane of the Gods, I'm known as the kid that can kill other gods. An executioner as others would say." I snapped my fingers and my cane appeared in my hands. "I am here on this plane for something that belongs to my friend. You'll find out what it is eventually." I turned around and started walking off. "I think the two of you have a Fall Formal to officially start." I turned to face them when I was up the stairs of the school. "Also, don't worry. I'm a good person. Just as good as any other angel. You can say that I'm God's little private military contractor."
"God?" Celestia asked. "As in Jesus Christ?"
"Can't tell you. I don't want to cause a religious take down" I said back. "Now will you please start the Fall Formal?"
The two of them smiled. "Of course" Luna replied. The two of them opened up the doors to the school with a set of keys and entered the building.
I waited outside for my friends. As I waited outside, other students drove up or were driven up in cars, limousines, and any other vehicle by their dates, a paid limo driver, or their parents. Upon seeing me, any attendees of the Fall Formal asked about me and my supposed injuries. To everyone, I replied that I was released out of the hospital despite receiving seven gunshot wounds.
Then one large limo pulled up. Out stepped Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Logan. Upon seeing me, the lot of them walked up to me. Each of them were wearing their own gowns, dresses, and the likes that were each designed by Rarity.
Wait a minute, if it took her three hours to make my suit and another three hours to make Logan's suit how in the world did you make six dress for the lot of you in less than an afternoon. You know what? I'll figure it out later.
"You clean up very well, darling" Rarity said.
"Thank you" I said back. "You five look nice." I noticed that Twilight was missing. "Where's ole Sparky?"
"Sparky? Oh! You mean Twilight! She's getting a ride from her date!" Pinkie Pie replied.
Date? When did she get a date? "Flash Sentry is with her, Tran" Rainbow Dash said.
"When in the world did she get a date?" I asked.
"Yesterday. About half an hour before the shooting" Rainbow Dash replied. Just as she said this, a black Camaro pulled up. The most distinctive thing about the car was that it had lightning bolts painted on the sides and there was a shield with a lightning bolt on the hood. What kinda idiot think that god-awful lightning bolts on a black car was a good idea?
The door popped open and Flash Sentry stepped out of the car. 'Of course.' He walked to the other side of the car and opened the door. Out stepped Twilight.
"Hello there Flash Sentry" I said. "I hope you are good to Twilight or I will have to teach you a few things."
"Okay, sir" Flash Sentry replied. "Weren't you shot seven times?"
"And? Seven bullets aren't going to stop me" I said back. "That's not nearly enough." I smiled and started laughing. "Ah, don't worry. I won't kill you or anything. I just don't want anything bad to happen to my friend."
He sighed in relief. "Oh thank goodness but seriously, what happened? Weren't you shot like seven times?"
"Yeah." I unbuttoned my coat, vest, and shirt, revealing my gunshot wounds. After a few seconds, I rebuttoned my cloths. "I'm a bit superhuman."
"What?" Flash Sentry said.
"I'm God's little hired killer" I said. I turned my cane into it's katana form and unsheathed the blade.
"Awesome" Flash Sentry said.
"Now, I believe we have a Fall Formal to attend" I said.
-X-X-X-
The nine of us were inside the school's gym. The Fall Formal was like any normal dance, though I don't think I should be comparing as I've only been to A dance. Only a single dance in my life and I hated it.
I waited outside in the hallway while everyone was having fun. No way in 'ell am I going to go in there.
"Yeah they're real. What would they be?" Was that Logan?
"Awesome!" Was that Scootaloo?!?
"Where did you get them?" Was that Sweetie Belle?
"Are yah supposed to have them?" Apple Bloom?
"Cause I have to use them to defend the people. Like the three of you pretty little girls." Logan, if you are doing what I think you're doing. I'm going to kill you.
-X-X-X-
"And Tran is your leader?" Sweetie Belle asked.
"No, I'm the leader. Tran's more of a follower" Logan said. Logan was talking to the three CMC in front of him. "You see he's-" Logan didn't finished his sentence as a certain crazed Asian killer stealthily dropped down from the ceiling via a rope attached to a climbing rig. In Tran's hands was a small saguaro cacitus, one inch in diameter and a foot in length. "I just remembered that I have to go do something now." Logan quickly ran off into the gym room where the dance was located at, leaving the three Cutie Mark Crusaders, puzzled.
-X-X-X-
Logan ran into the gym room where I was waiting for him. He stopped running right in front of me, completely oblivious of my location. "Hello there" I said.
"Oh God!" He jumped up slightly and turned around to face me.
"I said that they are off limits" I said. I still had the cacitus in my hand.
"I get it! Just put the cactus away!" Logan said.
"Cacitus" I said, correcting Logan.
"Anything as long as you don't rape me with that" Logan said.
I teleported away the small cacitus into my backpack.
"It is time to announce the Princess of the fall Formal!" I turned to see who said that and saw Celestia with a mic in one hand and an envelope in another. "Will the following nominated students step up, Sunset Shimmer, Twilight Sparkle, Berry Punch, and... Big Macintosh?" What? Who in the world would... You know what, Never mind. The nominated students, minus Big Mac, walked up onto the stage and lined up in front of Celestia.
"This year's princess is..." Celestia opened the envelope and pulled out a piece of paper. She looked at the content of the paper. "Twilight Sparkle!" Everyone started clapping and cheering.
"No! I'm supposed to be the princess!" Sunset Shimmer screamed.
"Sunset Shimmer, please don't be a sore loser" Celestia said.
Luna walked up on stage with a pillow in hand. On the pillow was a tiara. The Element of Magic. The Luna began walking up to Twilight. Before she could make it to Twilight, Sunset Shimmer ran up to Luna and grabbed the tiara.
"Well, damn" I said.
"At last! More power than I could ever imagine!" Sunset Shimmer said. "I've had to jump through so many hoops tonight just to get my hands on this crown, and it really should have been mine all along." She let out a few growls. "But let's let bygones be bygones. I am your princess now, and you will be loyal... To me!" She pointed one hand out and shot.. Beams of dark magic?!? How in the world did the Element of Magic give her dark magic?!?
The magic hit almost every student, turning them into mindless zombies. She did the same to Snips and Snails who were standing at a punch table excep thte two of them were turned into miniature forms of her demon form. "Round them up and bring them to the portal" she said to Snips and Snails. "Now with this power, I will conquer Equestria! And with my own little teenage army behind me, I am going to get it!" Se flew towards the entrance to the school an demolished the front portion of the school, making an over sized entrance.
"No, you're not!" Twilight said.
"Oh, please! What exactly do you think you're going to do to stop me? I have magic, and you have nothing!" Sunset Shimmer said.
"She has us" Logan said. He pulled out his UMP and opened fired. However, Sunset Shimmer had thrown up a shield just in time to block each bullet.
"Hold on" I said. I ran to where I hid my backpack and picked it up. I quickly dug through it, procuring Nick's RPG-7.
"Isn't that Nick's?" Logan asked, while reloading.
"He kinda gave it to me, asking for something else" I said.
"What did he want?" Logan asked.
"You'll find out" I took aim with the RPG-7. "It's one of my own home made war heads." I pulled the trigger. The rocket streamed towards Sunset Shimmer's face but alas, it was blocked by her shield. However, the warhead explosive with enough intensity to destroy the shield.
"What the hell is in that?!?" Logan asked.
"Refined octanitrocubane with a radioactive francium core. It has enough firepower to destroy a bunker!" I replied.
Seeing the opening, Logan open fired again with his UMP. The electrically charged, magnetically propelled rounds did an extreme amount of damage to her body but just as we thought she was going to die, the damage undid itself as she regenerated. She roared in anger as she charged up a magical blast. "Well, fuck" Logan said.
I just loaded another warhead into the RPG-7. "Just shoot her" I said. I fired again again but instead of the rocket impacting a shield, Sunset Shimmer caught the rocked mid flight.
Sunset Shimmer growled. "Do you think you can-" She didn't finish her sentence as I shot the rocket in her magical grasp. It detonated, and sent her flying back due to the explosive power due to the nuclear rockets. Before she could recover I threw a rock at her face.
"What was supposed to do!" Logan yelled. "And is it safe to be standing in the radioactive fallout of your nuclear rockets?"
"It's just a few rads, it won't kill you" I replied. I dropped the RPG-7 and pulled out my tomahawk. It was still the Axe of Perun in tomahawk form so it arced with electricity. In this pause, Sunset Shimmer had already gotten up.
"Why don't you use the Sparda?" Logan asked.
"I could destroy the Element" I replied. I jumped at her and kicked her in the jaw. This kick sent her falling to the ground, dazed. Dazed from the kick, Sunset Shimmer didn't do anything as I swung the Axe of Perun at her face. It impacted her in the side of the head., severing the lower portion of her skull. She screamed in pain. Before she could do anything else, I curb stomped her.
As I was standing on top of her. I noticed her power was coming from one location on her head. I took out my PPK and fired at that location. The .22 bullet seemingly impacted the air but it turned out I just shot the Element of Magic. A tiara appeared on her head. It did not look like the Element of Magic. What she wore on her head was colored black with an inlaid ruby and was spewing out black magic that fueled Sunset Shimmer's magic. How is it that the Element of Magic is giving her dark powers?
I fired again with my PPK and the bullet impacted the tiara. "Shoot the tiara off of her head!" I yelled towards Logan.
"Got it!" Logan said back.
Sunset Shimmer seemed to have heard this too as the students were now running towards us. Logan, preoccupied with shooting Sunset Shimmer, was tackled down by five students, all of them on the football team. To get them off, Logan charged his body with his Shock Jockey vigor electrocuting the five students. Seven students attempted to attack me but were stopped by a forcefield of magic that I threw up.
With the students taken care of, I turned back to Sunset Shimmer. "Just die already" I said. I put away my PPK and took out my M4a1. Logan looked at me and then pulled out his M14 EBR. Both of of us nodded. Taking aim, we open fired. My electromagnetically propelled 5.56 and 7.62 bullets were blocked by her shield but each round whittle away at her magic reserves. I knew what it felt like to have a massive reserve of power and that holding up a shield for this long, stopping bullets, would quickly drain her, especially if the shields are being broken every now and then.
Her shield began to display cracks as she continued blocking. She started shooting magic bolts at us but we simply dodged each shot. Seeing that she failed with her shots, she started smiling.
'What are you thinking Sunset Shimmer?' I thought.
Sunset Shimmer held up one hand and charged up black magic in it. In the blink of an eye, our guns were pulled out of our grasp and into hers. "Oh fuck" Logan said. Logan pulled out his UMP and tried to fire but that gun was pulled away too.
I looked to Logan and smiled. "let's use this to our advantage" I said to Logan. I pulled out a few M67 frag grenades.
He saw this and smiled. "Good idea" Logan said. He pulled out a few grenades of the same type and model and looked at me. "Mark?"
"Mark" I said, confirming him. Logan pulled the pins to the grenades he were holding using the normal method while I pulled the pins to the grenades in my hand with my teeth. I know any military personnel would say that pulling grenades pins with your teeth is a terrible idea and its a good way to lose teeth but hey, I'm Tran! Both of us tossed our grenades at the same time. Like our guns, Sunset Shimmer pulled them with her magic, not knowing what they were. Both of us smiled as the four grenades we threw detonated, sending her to the ground. In the process, she dropped our guns which we retrieved.
With her shield down, we open fired. The charged rounds worked away at her life as she tried to recover from the explosion. Then finally, Sunset Shimmer lost. A 5.56 round found its way to the Element of Magic, knocking it down. With her only source of magic gone, Sunset Shimmer shifted from her current demon form to her previous human form. With this, all of the students were free from Sunset Shimmer's magical trance. I was quick to retrieve the tiara before moving back to next to Logan.
Both Logan and I reloaded before slowly advancing upon her position. "It's over, Sunset Shimmer. You don't have the Element of magic anymore" Logan said.
I tossed Twilight her crown and she caught it. She placed the element of magic upon her head and smiled. "Thank you." She turned to face Sunset Shimmer.
Sunset Shimmer ran towards Twilight. "No! It was supposed to be mine! If you-" She didn't finish her sentence as Twilight clocked her i the jaw, knocking her out.
"Nice shot!" Logan said.
The rest of the Mane Six walked up to Twilight. "So ah guess yah got yahr crown back" Applejack said.
"Congratulations, darling. Albeit being a little unorthodox, you really gave Sunset Shimmer a good lesson" Rarity said. "And now you have your crown."
"That was awesome with how you just beat her like that!" Rainbow Dash said.
"Yeah, it was awesome. Woo hoo" Fluttershy said. Oh god the adorableness.
Pinkie Pie, instead of being happy and cheerful, looked sad and glum. "Does this mean you have to leave now?" she asked.
The other members of the Mane Six, minus Twilight, realized this too and frowned. "Not yet" Twilight replied. "Lets finished this little party first" Twilight said, smiling. "Hit it!"
-X-X-X-
I watched as everyone danced and partied. Logan was still in his 3 piece suit, which was somehow in pristine condition, and had his weapons placed away in his messenger bag which he was currently wearing. Like everyone else, he was dancing and partying. I didn't want to do any of this party nonsense (sorry Pinkie) so I was just standing in one secluded area of the gym with my suit on. On my back was my backpack and in my hands was the Sparda, in katana form.
Then I saw Twilight walk up to me with the other members of the Mane Six. "Hey Tran, the six of us were wondering if you could turn us into ponies?" Twilight said.
"I don't know, should I?" I said.
"Please turn us into ponies! I Want to see what it's like!" Fluttershy said. Oh the adorableness.
I looked down at the Sparda for a few seconds. Then I looked up and smiled. "Okay." I snapped my fingers and a cloud of black cover the six of them. Once the cloud disappeared, the six of them were changed into very familiar ponies. "Have fun!" Almost immediately, Rainbow Dash took flight and flew above in the airspace of the large gym room. Fluttershy started prancing about. Pinkie Pie started using pony Pinkie Pie physics as in she was bouncing off of the walls, literally. Applejack and Rarity just went back into the party. I looked to Twilight and saw that she stumbled slightly. "You're used to being human, aren't you?"
"Yeah. I won't miss being a human but I will miss the hands" Twilight said.
"See! Hands are useful!"
Twilight chuckled. "Whatever you say Tran." She started walking away.
I smiled.
-X-X-X-
The fall Formal finished and everyone wasn't leaving yet. Why? They wanted to meet the pony princess, her pony friends, the craze gunman, and the Crazy Asian.
"Come on Twilight, it's time to go!" I said. I snapped my fingers and the Mane Six, minus Twilight, were turned back into their human forms.
"Noooooooo!" Fluttershy said.
"Sorry Fluttershy, we have to go back to our universe" I said back. "Come one Twilight, let's go!"
Twilight trotted away from the crowd of students wanting to meet her. "I am not going to miss being a human! I absolutely miss my magic!" Twilight said, levitating a bottle of fizzy apple cider. She took a sip from the bottle. "I'm ready!"
"Bye darling!" Rarity said.
"Don't let the pony bed bugs bite!" Pinkie Pie said.
"Ah hope we meet you again!" Applejack said.
"Bye" Fluttershy said.
"Make sure you punch those griffons in the face for me!" Rainbow Dash said. Twilight, why did you have to tell her about the griffons?
I started unsheathed the Sparda before I remembered something. I rummaged through my backpack. "Ah, found it!" I pulled out a small radio. I walked over to Fluttershy and handed it to her. "If you girls ever need us, use that radio. It should work over different dimensions and it connects directly to my glasses." I turned around fully unsheathed the Sparda.
"Bye!" Twilight said. "I hope I meet you girls again."
"See yah!" Logan said.
I slashed the air in front of me and a tear in the fabrics of time and space appeared. "Let's go" I said.
Twilight and Logan jumped through the portal. I looked back to the human Mane Six. "Peace" I said while holding up my index and middle finger. I jumped through the portal.
-X-X-X-
The three of us jumped out a tear in the fabrics of time and space, appearing in another universe. However, this wasn't the Equestria universe they knew and loved. The three of them appeared in a rather run down universe. The surrounding buildings were empty and rundown and there was not a single soul around. Cars dotted the road they were standing on and only silence filled the air. The only thing that actually gave them any clue of where they were were the bullet holes that dotted every other building.
"Twilight, welcome to our universe" I said.
Twilight's face was immediately filled with a sense of dread. "What are we doing here?!?" she yelled out.
"There are some things I want to collect" I replied.
Logan pulled out his UMP. "So do I."
I placed the Sparda on my back and pulled out Yin and Yang. Then I pulled out a pair of ear plugs and ear muffs. I plugged the plugs into her ears, then placed the ear muffs over them. With the hearing protection, Twilight would be able to safely hear the gunshots. However, she did have her enhanced hearing from being a pony so she should still be able to hear us clearly.
I pointed Yang in the air and fired off a round. Then we waited. Nothing. I fired off another round. We waited again. Nothing. "That's strange. The last time I was here, a single gunshot would attract at least five or so zombies."
The three of us started walking. "There's something going on here. It's quiet. Too quiet" Logan said.
"Wait, I hear something" I said. I knew my hearing should be stronger than's Twilight's muffled hearing and I always trusted my senses. I haven't gone crazy yet. It was growling. I turned to where the growling came from and spotted a zombie. However, it wasn't like the zombies I remembered from when I lived in this universe. It had mottled, dark brown skin and it was crawling on its hands and feet like a monkey. It's mouth sported several rows of teeth, unlike a normal human being. What happened to the zombies?!? I heard more small amounts of growling and looked at that direction. It was another one of those things but it was hanging on a light pole. Our of nowhere a roar emanated from our rear. When the three of us looked, we saw a large zombie, with a similar build to Arnold Schwarzenegger. Behind it was seven more.
"God damn" Logan said.
All of the zombies surrounding us started running at us. "Now, they're running?!?" Logan yelled out over the gunshots of his UMP.
"Eeyup" I said. The zombies around us were quickly killed but we were having trouble killing the zombies that moved like monkeys. Every time we tried to shoot it, they ducked behind cover whether it was a brick wall, a car, or a building. "You know, magic." I snapped my fingers and they were lifted up in the air. They were quickly killed by Logan.
"They've changed" Logan said.
"Eeyup."
A gunshot rang out from our west. The three of us looked at the source and saw a team of eight men, all wearing National Guard garb. They were all wielding various assault rifles ranging from the civilian AK47 to the military M16a4.
"Is that a purple unicorn?" one of them asked.
"Yes" Logan replied. "What do you want?"
"We were patrolling the area when we noticed the two, erm, three of you" another one of them said.
"And?" Logan continued.
"You two people match the description of the people that killed a patrol of ours a few months back." The one who said this appeared to have the highest rank out of the eight of them because of his officer's rank insignia on his uniform. The two of us took aim immediately. "Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Don't worry, they were a rogue group of men. We were hunting them!"
The two of us continued aiming our guns at them. "And why do you need to bother us?" I asked.
"We're going to offer you a safety in our town" the officer said.
"We'll be fine" I said.
"Food, water, walls, and enough guns to go around" the officer said.
"We're fine. We recently raided Luke Air Force" I said.
"You did that?!?!? We could have used the munitions from that base!" a different National Guard member said.
"Too bad. We're leaving. We have to return to our universe shortly." I turned around. "Come on Twilight, let's go."
"Who are they?" Twilight asked.
"What the hell?!? It can talk?!?" a different National Guard member yelled out.
Smiling, I snapped my fingers and the three of us were teleported away.
Once we left, the three of us were quick to finish our tasks. We collected our old belongings and our friend's belongings.
"Hold on Logan, I have one last thing I need to get.
"What?" Logan asked.
"You'll find out" I said, smiling. I walked away, leaving Logan with Twilight.
An hour later, I returned to where Logan and Twilight was. "Now let's go" I said.
-X-X-X-
The three of us reappeared in the basement of the Crystal Palace.
"Finally! We're home!' Twilight said. The second those words left her mouth, an explosion rang out.
The three of us ran out from the basement and into the general space of the castle. We looked out of a window. In the air were hundreds of griffons.
"Hey!" That was Nick's voice. We turned around. He had his .500 S&W and Blue Rose out. Behind him was our other friends. "We kinda need some fucking help!"
