>Darkness
>Nothing but darkness
>Your base has been sunk to the bottom of the ocean
>Your comrades have been wiped out
>And to top it off, the only answer to why this happened exploded right in front of your face
>Are you dead?
>Did anyone else survive the crash?
>So many questions
>So little answers
>A faint light appears in your vision
>This is it
>You've passed into the next life
>But it certainly isn't heaven
>No. You're destined for hell
>The light gradually envelopes your vision
 
>Soon, you can hear a faint muffled sound of a voice
>It sounds like... Paz?
>No, she died. You witnessed her death, clear as day
>There's more voices now
>About... six of them?
>You don't recognise them
>Were you saved?
>Or have you been captured?
>You'll know soon enough
 
>"Hey! He's waking up!"
>You come to your senses
>Grass can be felt underneath
>Blue sky and clouds can be seen above
>But it was night when you crashed and you were in the middle of the ocean when the heli went down
>How long have you been out?
>"Excuse me, but are you alright?"
>Gradually getting up, you check yourself
>You're still wearing the signature MSF Sneaking Suit, along with all your weapons and radio
>"Jeez, mister. You look pretty shaken. Can you tell us what happened?"
>Looking behind for the source of the voices, you're greeted with a sight that actually unsettles you
>And you've seen some crazy shit in your lifetime
 
>Six colourful horses
>At least... you think they're horses
>A purple one. A pink one. An orange one. A yellow one. A blue one. And a white one.
>A white horse
>An image flashes in your mind
>You break in a cold sweat
>Get it together, it's not the one
>You put both the horse and /her/ down all those years ago
>Put it behind you. You moved on from this, right?
>The purple one approaches you
>"I'm sorry, sir, but we've never seen anything like you here in Equestria before. Can you tell us who you are?"
>You stare at it for quite sometime
>There's no doubt about it, that is Paz's voice
>This doesn't make any sense
>"Um... I'm Twilight Sparkle. Faithful student to Princess Celestia, ruler of Equestria. What's your name?"
>Snapping out of your thoughts, you answer her question
"Snake... Call me Snake"
 
>"WOAH! He talks!"
>The blue one pipes up from the rest of the group
>Wait, it flies?
>A pegasus?
>Interesting
>"Snake?! Silly, you don't look like a snake! Snakes are all long and wriggly. You look like a giant monkey!"
>That's the pink one
>You establish that you don't like the pink one
"It's a codename. Not my real name"
>"Oh, so you're like a super secret spy! And these are all your spy goodies!"
>She bounds up towards you, poking at your equipment
>Acting on instinct alone, you grab her by the front hoof and toss her over onto the ground
>"WEEEEE! THAT WAS FUN, DO IT AGAIN, DO IT AGAIN!"
>What
>That should've knocked her out clean
