- >”Hey Anon. You ready? We’re rolling in 20”
- > The source of the voice was a young woman sitting next to you.
- > Looking around, you are sitting in the back of a pickup truck.
- >Surrounded by a dozen other rag tag fighters, most of them young men.
- >There were a few women and even some older guys.
- >The lot of them carried serious expressions on their faces
- >All of them armed with some sort of weapon or means of self defense
- >Everyone seemed to be armed with something different.
- >You never were a full fledged /k/ommando, but you’ve been around the block enough times to at least get an idea of what they carried.
- >Among you weapons you made out a few pistols, a few assault rifles, a shot gun, an SMG, and plastic explosives.
- >Everyone, including yourself was carrying huge backpack full of supplies.
- >All these arms came from scavenging the fallen troops of the enemy.
- >Looking down at your lap you held a small hunting rifle and a red toolbox.
- > You cruised down the highway at high speeds.
- >You very much recall this situation.
- >It was embedded deep in your memories.
- >This took place after you decided to stop being a pussy and take on some real responsibilities.
- >It took a while to realize it was all just in your head, your memories.
- >You’re dreaming.
- >You sit back and allow the memories to flow like a movie screen in front of you.
- >A raspy voice emerged from the pickup’s cabin. He carried a thick accent.
- >”Aight, y’all know tha drill. We get in, do our shit and we get out. I don’t wanna nothin about any complications ya hear?”
- >The group agreed in unison.
- >”As soon as y’all ready to roll on out you give me a holler”
- >Before you know it you had arrived at your destination: West Side.
- >After dropping you off, the truck driver speed off back to get more men.
- >The western part of the city was where the police impound center was located.
- >Since then, the enemy has converted it into a car pool for their military.
- >The initial group of mem was split into two smaller squads.
- >More men would be included in this operation later.
- >Your squad consisted of 5 more men.
- >You would sneak into the city, past the guards and into the car pool
- >Your objective was to sabotage as many vehicles as possible.
- >The other squad would set up plastic explosives near the enemy barracks and fuel tanks and support your team as necessary.
- >Under the darkness of the night you headed out to start your work.
- >Your squad leader walks up to the group and starts giving orders
- >”Anon, hand out the tools, we’ve got shit to do”
- >Opening your toolbox you handed various tools to each rebel.
- >You had saved a pair of bolt cutters for yourself.
- >You cut open the locks the gates, allowing yourself entry
- >You began to work on the first vehicle you saw
- >This areas were barely patrolled at night.
- >The occasional encounter with a patrolman was met with the butt of your rifle or a silenced weapon.
- > It took a few tries to find out where the fuel lines where in these vehicles, most of them foreign.
- >There were probably hundreds of vehicles in the lot.
- “Hey, you know we’re not going to get to all of these right?” You say your comrade.
- >”Yeah, but it don’t matter. Baker team is blowing the gas lines just in case. They won’t have much use to em’ if they aint got no fuel.”
- >This goes on for about another hour or two.
- >You managed to sabotage 20 trucks or so.
- >Your squad was doing excellent progress.
- >Just as you were about to finish your “modifications” on a pickup truck, your HAM radio comes to life.
- >“..Ehh Charlie Team, This is Baker Team, Requesting a regroup by 5th street and Hope Ave”
- > Another member of your squad responds his own handset, his voice echoing over everyone’s radios.
- > “This is Charlie Leader, what’s going on?”
- >”Ehh..We’ve finished setting charges on all of our targets. We need to regroup before we can set them off. You are all in the dead zone.”
- >”Got it, we’re rolling”
- >As he finishes his sentence, he signals the rest of your squad to finish what they were doing and regroup.
- >Exiting the car pool you make your way deeper into the city
- >As you look around you’re reminded of the chaos that took place here.
- >Some buildings are missing huge fragments of walls, while others are leveled completely
- >Craters in the ground are indications that explosives went off here.
- >Tank treads are visible throughout the street.
- >Occasionally you pass by a group of people huddled around a makeshift oil drum bon fire
- >Many people in this area lost their homes and had nowhere to go.
- >Movement in and out of the city was heavily constricted.
- >You look around you noticed more things
- >There are bodies littered everywhere, most of them where civilians.
- >You shudder in disgust as you pass by a row of bodies against a wall.
- >All of them donned similar clothing and wore blindfolds
- >They were captured Rebels.
- >It must have been Alpha team.
- >They went dark last week.
- >”Well, we found Alpha Team..” One of your squadmate mutters.
- >Poor bastards were probably executed on the spot.
- >It wasn’t long before you met up with the other squad.
- >They were hiding out in a side alley.
- >After exchanging information, the squad leaders deemed it OK to proceed with the mission.
- >”All right, we gotta hit one more building before we call it quits for tonight.”
- >The squad leader begins to explain their plan of action to the rest of the squad.
- >You would regroup with Delta Squad and Echo Squad.
- >Together, you all made a force of about 30 men and 2 Dogs.
- > A few Delta squad members used to be part of the Force, K-9 Unit. Hopefully they would sniff out any dangers
- >The objective was to raid a warehouse building the enemy was using and scavenge as many supplies as possible.
- >The resistance was always desperate for supplies.
- >What better place to get them from than the enemy?
- >”Anon, get that manhole opened up. We can use the sewers to get to the warehouse”
- >You bust out the monkey wrench from your tool box and open the manhole.
- >Descending into the depths below.
- >The rebels had been using the sewer system as a means of transportation within the city.
- >Some of the rebels had broken into the city records to acquire maps of the pipe network.
- >It was dark.
- >It smelled like ass.
- >It was hot and humid.
- >Did I mention you were afraid of the dark?
- >Pussy.
- >But you were safe from any bad guys.
- >Above you could hear the distinct noise of gunfire and vehicle movement.
- >It sounds like Delta and Echo were in some deep shit.
- >One of your comrades had a bottle of hard alcohol; he passed it around to help calm everyone’s nerves.
- >Although you hated the taste at first, you took a few swigs.
- >In a situation like this, it definitely hit the spot.
- “Oh yeah, that hits the spot.”
- >As you approached your destination the sounds of the gun fight grew louder.
- “Oh shit. We climbing up here?”
- >”Yeah. Come on, let’s not waste any time. Delta and Echo need our help.”
- >”Anon open up this shit up!”
- >Without further question you climb the ladder up and use your monkey wrench to open it up.
- >It takes some muscle to move it aside, but it was feasible
- “Alright, we’re good! Come’on!”
- >No sooner than you finished the sentence you saw enemy movement in the corner of your eye.
- >Turns out the enemy setup a checkpoint a few yards away from your manhole
- “Oh fuck.”
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1EnxfH3b7Y&feature=relmfu
- >Without thinking you began to run for cover firing rounds in that direction.
- >The streets soon lit up with gunfire as your squad mates crawled out of the sewers.
- >You and another squad mate took cover behind a destroyed car.
- >There were maybe 15 or so enemy troops at the checkpoint.
- >One of them was mounted on a HMG behind a sand bunker.
- >It took him no time to start pumping rounds at you.
- >Luckily the car provided ample cover
- >That bastard would take out in seconds if you popped up to shoot.
- >You took the time to rummage through your bag.
- >You pulled out a few rags, a lighter and some beer bottles you had filled with gasoline previously.
- >Handing out Molotovs to your comrades he tossed them at enemies
- >Some of your buddies were armed with pipe bombs.
- >You took aim and threw your Molotov cocktail into the sand bunker.
- >You put on a shit eating grin on your face as you watched the machine gunner burn alive.
- >The flames would last for a while preventing anyone else from manning it.
- >Taking aim with your rifle you were able to hit a few guys.
- >You empty out your clip and duck down to reload.
- “Reloading!”
- >Your comrade next to you took this time to empty out his shotgun.
- >By the time he called out to reload you could pop up an provide suppressive fire.
- >It’s an excellent system that works well in these situations
- >It’s a good thing they had given a plinking rifle as a weapon.
- >A Ruger .22 Caliber was perfect for you.
- >You could find ammo for it by the shit tons and it was easy to carry.
- >Your rifle was far more accurate than the shotguns and assault rifles your comrades carried.
- >On top of that, it was easy to modify.
- >A little duct tape here and there and you were able to fix a tacticool flashlight, a grip, a set of enhanced sights and an extended magazine.
- >Sure, if you ever entered a close combat situation, you were fucked.
- >Long barreled weapons never suited well in such situations.
- >But hey, for now it seemed to work pretty well.
- >Pushing forward your squad was able to take out the enemy checkpoint.
- >It turns out Delta and Echo was advancing the same checkpoint from the opposite direction.
- >The enemy didn’t stand a chance
- >Lucky you.
- >You noticed that Delta and Echo had some new members on their team.
- >They were enemy troops. Their bandaged bodies showed they were wounded and just recently attended to.
- >The only difference from the bad guys is that they had a bandana wrapped around their forearms.
- >The bandana was the flag of your nation
- “Hey man, what’s up with these Reds? I thought they were the bad guys.”
- > A member from Delta team responds:
- >”Nah man, it’s cool. They’re with us now. They were left for dead by their own and we took them in.”
- >The new members responded as well
- >”We are very grateful comrades!”
- >” Da, I owe my life to these men and will fight by their side.”
- >The two men showed their gratitude and introduced themselves, handshakes and all.
- Neat.jpeg
- > A closer inspection of the troops showed they were about your age.
- >They didn’t look like the evil soul sucking bastards everyone has portrayed them be.
- >More like young scared kids drafted into a war they didn’t want.
- >They spoke broken English with a heavy accent.
- >You were about to ask more about them when a huge explosion knocked you off your feet.
- >A tank had rolled into the streets from where you came from and started firing rounds.
- > It begun to fire rounds in your direction, behind it a wave of enemy troops.
- >Your team had taken its battle positions again.
- >You were all hunkered down behind the sand bags of the check point.
- > The enemy was better armed this time.
- > But so were you.
- > At the check point, your team had managed to find a small stash of weapons and armory.
- > Among the weapons was a set of RPG’s
- > You notice some of your squad mates had gathered most of the large weaponry and were getting ready to make a run for it.
- > ”Alpha’s heading to the roof tops! Give em’ cover!”
- >As soon as the CO finished his order, Alpha had already sprinted half way across the street to a row of apartment buildings.
- >Your team had loaded up and began returning fire.
- >Molotovs and pipebombs were going off everywhere.
- >In response, the enemy started tossing fragmentation and incendiary grenades at you.
- >The sound of a grenade dropping to your feet echoed throughout everyone’s ears
- “ SHIT, GRENAADE!”
- >The entire squad scurried away from the explosive.
- >Some were a little too slow.
- >One Rebel’s legs were blown clean off.
- >His agonizing screams filled the air.
- >You looked around and saw the machine gun nest was unarmed.
- >You sprinted over the sandbags, dodging enemy attention and fire.
- >It was still hot to the touch from your flames, but you’d have to manage.
- >You started pumping bullets into the crowd of enemies.
- >They either dashed for cover or were hit by your barrage of bullets
- >Your team had taken on some casualties as well
- >As the machine gun run out of ammo you felt a flurry of shots come your way.
- >One of them managed to clip you against your right arm.
- >Although it was just a flesh wound, it still hurt like a bitch.
- “GAHHH FUUUUCK. MEDIC!”
- >You were losing a lot of blood.
- >You looked to your side for the squad medic, he donned a red bandana with a white cross on his hat.
- >He already had his hands full.
- >Unlike you, they had taken more serious injuries.
- >You began to crawl away from the nest towards safety.
- >You had gotten about 5 yards away when you heard the tank begin to roll closer towards you.
- >It was getting dangerously close.
- >Your jimmies were at mach speeds.
- >Your radio went to life again, it was your squad leader
- >”…ALPHA YOU GOT 5 SECONDS TO TAKE OUT THAT TANK OR WERE ALL FUCKING DEAD…”
- >In response you heard the distinct “Whooosh” of RPG’s whizzing through the air.
- > You watch as the RPG’s flies towards the tank and makes contact.
- > A huge explosion ensues.
- > What remains is a smoking pile of scrap metal
- >The shock wave from the blasts manages to reach you.
- >You were blown back a bit and your head hit against the concrete with a loud
- >THUD
- >…..
- >Slowly, you regain consciousness.
- >You try to move your arms and legs
- >But it’s no use, they’re tied up pretty well.
- >Here you are face down on the ground.
- >You see those ponies again.
- >The Purple one was scolding a white one.
- >Your gear was striped from you, the purple pony levitating it with her horn.
- >Once you get your bearings you realize you were no longer in the forest.
- >It was breaking dawn and you on some dirt road.
- >It didn’t take you long to realize you were dropped by the marshmallow pony.
- >Now this really rustled your jimmies.
- >You were never one to get angry, but this shit really rustled your jimmes.
- “Hey! HEY! I’m talking you! HEY!”
- >They all looked at you in shock, apparently not noticing that you came to.
- “You! Purple! Listen to me! Where the fuck am I? Who the fuck do you think you are tying me up like this? Let me go!”
- >You must look miserable, yelling to yourself on the ground all tied up.
- >Pussy.
- >The ponies conversed with each other for a bit and all nodded in unison.
- >Apparently, they have agreed on something!
- >Once again you feel the weightlessness overcome you as you a lifted into the air.
- >The yellow pony now flies next to you as they move. She’s observing your every detail.
- >After a while you eventually give up on yelling, it was pointless.
- >You couldn’t understand each other and they seemed to ignore you after a while.
- >It wasn’t before long that a town came into view.
- >It seemed as though it was empty.
- >You figure it’s because it’s the crack of morning.
- >Most houses you pass by are made of simple materials.
- >Wood, masonry and glass.
- >You assume this town was inhabited by other ponies as well.
- >Most doors seem small enough for them to just enter.
- >Eventually you reached the center of the town
- >You were beginning to ponder the thought on how a colony of ponies was able to create a small town such as this one.
- >I mean clearly, they don’t have manipulative appendages such as you.
- >You juggle the thought around in your head before dismissing it.
- >Much to your amusement a giant tree stood in the center of the town.
- >No seriously, this shit was huge.
- >A house seemed to be carved into the tree, with windows and small balconies visible throughout the leaves.
- “Oh, that’s just fan-fucking-tastic”
- >You grumble to yourself cursing out this town
- >Entering the tree house you notice how much bigger it is on the inside than out.
- >You also notice the plethora of books, it’s probably a library.
- >It’s no doubt in your mind now that these are sentient beings.
- >The white pony releases you onto the floor.
- >Exhausted from carrying your fat ass all day she collapses onto a nearby sofa that seemed to appear from fucking nowhere.
- >The purple pony soon calls out to a purple dragon who was in another room.
- >Well at least, it looks like a dragon
- >As soon as he notices you he yells in fear.
- >His voice confirms he’s indeed a male.
- >You’re not that scary looking are you?
- >The purple pony and dragon converse with each other, she’s probably bringing him up to speed on today events.
- >Now that you notice, the cyan pony with wings seems pretty pissed at you.
- >She rubs her wing in pain as she gives you a deadpan stare.
- >You chuckle to yourself.
- “It’s what you deserve you know! Heh.”
- >The yellow one has not let up her gaze the entire, completely fascinated by your presence.
- >The orange one still has that shit eating smirk on her face, still proud that she was able to knock you out.
- >The rest of the ponies sit around and just study you in detail.
- >You hadn’t noticed it, but the Purple pony and dragon have been furiously writing down letters.
- >As soon as they finish writing one, the dragon burns into thin air.
- >Momentarily another letter, probably a reply, is conjured up.
- “What the hell?”
- >You are truly fascinated with this.
- >You were about to wonder on how this is possible when your stomach interrupted you.
- *GRUMBLE GRUMBLE GRUMBLE*
- >Apparently, your stomach was loud enough for everyone in the room to stop what they were doing and stare at you.
- >You blush slightly in embarrassment.
- “I guess I’m hungry. Hehe”
- >Hungry didn’t even begin to cover it.
- >You were fucking starving.
- >You haven’t eaten in forever.
- >It didn’t take long for the purple pony to react.
- >She talked it over with the others and left the room.
- >When she enters the room again she was holding an apple.
- >Your mouth waters at the sight.
- >She then undoes your bindings.
- >She carefully comes near to you and begins speaking to you in a calm toe of voice.
- >You couldn’t understand shit.
- >But if you had to guess, she was probably telling you ‘Don’t do anything stupid’.
- >She hands you the apple with her hoof.
- >You tilt your head in awe.
- “How the hell did you just hold that?”
- >You dismiss the thought, accepting the apple.
- >Biting into it your met with its bittersweet taste
- >Holy shit, this is the best fucking apple ever.
- >You quickly finish it.
- >You are the most grateful person in the world right now.
- >You immediately dismiss any ideas that these guys meant to harm you.
- >You always were easy to win over.
- >Someone just had to bribe you with a little food… and BAM. You’d bend over backwards for them.
- >Although it doesn’t quell your hunger, that apple will have to do for now.
- >You stand up and un-dust your clothes.
- >Honestly though, it didn’t really matter.
- >You came out of a guerilla battlefield before this.
- >Before you had awoken up in the forest, you have spent the majority of your time on the city streets fighting for your country’s freedom against a maniacal super power nation.
- >You looked like a mess.
- http://imgur.com/kcmgA
- >You stretch out your limbs.
- >Being tied up in a fetal position for hours really hurts!
- >The ponies stare at you in awe.
- >You tower over them.
- >They probably couldn’t have noticed in the midst of night.
- >You kneel down on in front of the purple pony.
- >You look at her, eye to eye.
- >With your left hand, you raise it in front of yourself patting your chest.
- “Anonymous.”
- >You repeat the gesture a few times before they seem to understand.
- >She does the same gesture with her Hoof.
- >”Twwwiiliight”
- >Smiling, you then raise your right hand for a hand sh….hoof shake.
- >She returns the gesture.
- >Sure enough, a loud knocking came from the door.
- >As Twilight goes to answer you check outside the window.
- >In front of the library a huge chariot awaited.
- >It seemed very regal.
- >It was pulled by several Pegasus ponies.
- >All of them significantly larger than the one you had met so far.
- >They were probably male, you could tell by the muzzle shape.
- >Soon enough Twilight called out to you.
- >She couldn’t really pronounce your name right, probably due to the language barrier.
- >She nodded her head in a “Let’s Go” fashion.
- >You grab your things from the corner of the room.
- >You are extra careful your weapons are not loaded.
- >God forbid you fire off one of those in a chariot of officials.
- >Exiting the tree house you notice quite the crowd has gathered.
- >Your suspicions are confirmed.
- >This town is full of ponies.
- what_is_this_I_don’t_even…
- >They all stare at you in awe.
- >Some ever cower away in fear.
- >You just awkwardly smile and wave to them as you are ushered into the chariot.
- >You got a window seat.
- >Neat
- >Joining you inside would be the 6 ponies you met earlier and several other ponies.
- >You can only assume they are royal guards of some sort.
- >They all don armor with a coat of arms.
- >Before you can process the thought the chariot begins to move.
- >You stare out the window as you begin to gain speed.
- >Then you realize you are beginning to ascend.
- “Oh shiit. Oh shit. Oh shi. Ohshitohshitohshitohshitohshitsohshit”
- >Everyone watches as you start to freak out.
- >It’s not that you hate flying, it’s just that you’ve never flown in a chariot drawn by Pegasus before.
- >You eventually get over your fear.
- >The rest of the flight consist of you awkwardly twiddling with your Hunting Rifle and lighter.
- >You could definitely use a smoke right now, but you doubt anyone here permits.
- >Eventually a large city embedded into a mountain side comes into view.
- >It’s beautiful.
- >A huge castle sits on top towering above the lands.
- >Sure enough, the chariot begins to descend.
- >You figure this is your destination.
