My Little Airman pt 10 Angry Again

Part 10 Angry Again

 

>As you walk down where the dogs ran, you notice the green landscape turn rocky

>The M1 rested on your shoulders, with your arms resting on it in turn

>Shit, you must look like you're thuggin' down the road

>Whatever

>Not in the mood?

>Not even close to that

>You spot tracks. Holy shit, a ton of tracks

>You weren't a professional tracker, but it looked like there were many hundreds of dogs that had run down here

>There might not be enough bullets for them back at your little storage house

>Eventually, you come across an empty plot of land

>Lots of land

>Rocky land

>Examining the landscape, you look in horror as you find holes in the ground

>Tunnels are not the ideal fighting ground, especially when you are the invading force

>In an enclosed area, you're sure the first shot you fire will alert everyone there

>You know nothing about how this tunnel system twists, and it's pretty much suicide to go in there

>Without a second thought you jump in

>Sliding down, you see the tunnel is well lit

>Thank whatever god there is for small favors

>Before to long, you land on your ass, producing a dull THUMP sound

>Quickly glancing for dogs, you find yourself alone.

>And you notice the tracks go on...

>Hell, maybe you were a hunter or something

>You follow them, M1 at low ready

>Soooo many side-tunnels!

>Suddenly, footsteps ahead of you

>Without a second thought, you head towards the side tunnel on your right

>Slowly you lay down your M1 and unsheath your knife, back against the wall

>No need to let them know you're there yet

>The footsteps get closer...and closer...

>Then you hear sniffing

>Shit, you probably stank like shit right now

>Or at least noticable enough for a dog

>You ready your knife

>Its shadow lengthens into the tunnel you were previously in

>You finally see the dog pass you

>He was wearing some armor and had a simple spear as a weapon. SHIT!

>...it didn't see you?

>It still looks like it's sniffing around

>Carefully, you peer behind the corner to see if there's any more of them

>None

>areyoushittingme?

>You jump the dog from behind, pulling his head up and exposing his neck, and quickly slit his neck

>Blood covers your hand and knife

>It feels good, actually

>Your hands felt a little better

>And was there a hint of satisfaction when you slit his neck?

>You drop the body in the side tunnel. Hopefully this will be over by the time anyone discovers the body. IF anyone disovers the body

>Pick up your M1 and continue

>Twists and turns are all over the place, but the tracks are still consistant

>You come across a couple more guard dogs following the tracks, and kill them similarly to the first one

>How long has it been? No more than a couple of hours...and you've only come across 3 guards

>But soon, you hear some...crying?

>Bingo

>Stealthily you sneak towards the end of that particular tunnel, and see a bunch of ponies behind bars

>Some were fillys, some were colts, but most were mares

>You notice there were some Earth ponies and some Pegasi, but no unicorns

>Huh...ponder that one

>Wait, that means Twilight Sparkle isn't here

>You almost run in there before you notice a sleeping guard

>Poor dog must've been tired

>Either that, or...

>Yup, ear plugs. Holy fuck, that tops every Basic Entry Controller story you've ever heard of

>Even the one about the EC who fell asleep in the TI office at 0400, 45 minutes before you all woke up

>You walk in, and the ponies notice you at once. They stop whining and crying and pretty much all their noise

>Looking around...you don't see Applebloom

>God damnit

>Set down the M1 and equip your knife once more

>Swiftly you pull up the guard dog and hold the knife to his knife

>You keep finding yourself behind these dogs...

>Needless to say, the beast was stunned

>Whip-crack went his whoopy tail

>And the beast was done

>He asked you *SNORT* "Be you a devil?"

>And you said

Nay! I am but a man!

>Rock AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW AWWWWWW aawww ohooo oooohhooo yeah

>He wasn't too happy

>Slowly, you motioned him to remove his ear plugs with your left while keeping him secured with your knife hand

>He does as you instruct

Alright soldier, where's the keys?

>"They're over there."

>He points to a box on the wall.

Good boy. Now, are there any other cells here besides this one?

>"Yes, dozens"

>Shit. Wait... You bring the knife ever closer to his neck

How many ponies occupy those cells?

>"None! This is the only cell that is holding any ponies right now"

>Fucking snake. He was going to waste your time

>You knee him in the back

Fucker. Cross me again, and you'll find yourself bleeding your neck out. Got it?"

>He nods

Alright, I only came across a three other dogs on my way here. where are the rest?

>"Grrrrr"

>Another knee to the spine

>"OWW. Alright, they're all in the war room, planning for the next invasion."

>Well fuck. This rescue mission turned into a recon mission

Where's the war room?

>"Go back the way you came. Take the first left, then a right, then go straight. That's where it is."

One more thing. There are a couple of ponies that I know are here. A purple unicorn with darker purple hair, and a yellow filly with red hair. Where are they?

>He snickers. "They're in the war room! The purple one is being interrogated right now!"

>Kick him between the knees

Why?

>The only reason he's still standing is because you're holding him up. *COUGH COUGH* "She's helping us...*WHEEZE* find the best places to invade Canterlot."

Why would she do that?

>He recovers faster than you thought he would. "Because if she doesn't cooperate, the little one gets it!"

Good boy. Here's your treat.

>Slit his neck. The body drops lifelessly.

>Now every pony appears scared of you.

Calm down. I'm here to rescue you.

>You open the box and take the keys. Your words do little to reassure them

Listen up! Here's the plan! I'm going to release you all in a second. There is a path where there are plenty of tracks. Follow it, and you'll get out of these tunnels. Do NOT deviate from that path! Got it?

>Plenty of yes. Yes. YES EVERYWHERE!

And be quiet in there!

>That hushed them

>You unlock the cell doors and open them

>Damn, they made noise, hopefully not too loud

>Then again, you just had, from the looks of it, about 200 ponies saying "yes" seconds ago, so fuck it

>They all run out as soon as they're freed

>Damn, it took less time to get them going than you thought it'd take

>As soon as the area is empty, you notice a box against the wall

>Opening it, you see thirteen sticks of dynamite

>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgnoukKJIaU

>You take one out of the bunch

>Take a count of the magazines you have on you

>12 magazines. You're fucking lucky to have snuck around as quietly as you did.

>12 magazines. That's 180 shots

>You've got 3 clips as well, 21 shots for the M1

>An idea pops into your head...

>You take a magazine and empty the bullets into your hands

>Carefully open the dynamite stick, and VERY CAREFULLY put the bullets in at different angles

>Close the stick

>Dear god, what have you done?

>You've made a makeshift grenade

>You don't know how effective it'll be, but it'll definitely cause a lot of damage just from the blast itself.

>Shrapnel damage might be more minimal than you thought, but hey, bullets and their casings were only so strong... and there was also a little gunpowder in each of them as well! A nice little firework this might make... if it weren't so damn dangerous!

>Now what to do with the other sticks?

>Oh, you have a pretty good idea....

 

>20 minutes later.............

 

>You walk the path that the guard dog mentioned, not expecting to find the war room

>By some miracle, he didn't lie to you, but for reasons unknown, you don't see any tracks

>Big ass doors are in front of you

>You kick them open and holy shit

>The biggest damn room you've ever seen, even wider than the rocky land above, and there must be a thousand dogs in here, all with mediocre armor and spears...wait, there were about 10 of them with crossbows. Well fuck

>You spot Twilight in the center, and Applebloom isn't far from her. She's being held by a slightly smaller dog, and one of his underlings is holding a crossbow at her small head.

>You cringe at the thought of a bolt hitting a filly's head.

>Twilight and Applebloom both cry out "ANON!"

>Oh yeah, all eyes on you

>"Who the fuck are you?"

>You look closely and find it was the one holding Applebloom who spoke. He seems to be wearing slightly different armor. It looks more decorated, and he's wearing a fancy helmet...a barbute you think it's called

>Useless trivia #1

>He must be their leader

You may have heard of me. I'm Anonymous, Captain of the United States Air Force. A few days ago, I kicked the shit out of three of your dogs. And a few hours ago, I killed somewhere between 17 and 30 of your dogs when you all invaded Ponyville.

>"Ah, so that's you?"

Yes. Who the fuck are you?

>"I'm Higgins, the dictator of the diamond dogs!"

>Intense staredown. Time to rustle some jimmies

How did you enjoy my work?

>He starts growling. "I didn't appreciate it at all. You set us back a few weeks."

Oh, well, you're not going to like what I did about half an hour ago then...

>He stares daggers at you

>"Go ahead and tell me, Anonymous..."

I killed four more of your dogs and released all the ponies you had locked up. I also gave them instructions of how to get out of here. I interrogated the prison guard, and he told me everything that's going on. And ALL of those ponies know. Your conquest is over before it has even started.

>"GET HIM! I WANT HIS HEAD ON A PIKE!"

>Bolts fly at you, and dogs are coming right at you

>You duck, barely avoiding the bolts, and start firing your M1 into the dogs wielding the crossbows

>In less than four seconds you've hit all but two of them

>PING

>Adrenaline courses through your body, making you reload faster

>You hit the last two bowmen-er dogs, and proceed to start shooting into the crowd

>Six more down

>PING

>Last clip loaded

>The dogs are getting closer

>Firefirefirefirefirefire

>Shit, only got seven this time

>PING

>Immediately you drop the M1, and unholster your M9. At the same time, you take out that music player

Twilight, I don't remember asking for this, but thank you!

>You immediately think of a particular song. Not knowing how it works, you just sorta will it to happen

>http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x24tba_megadeth-angry-again_music

>The noise of the song echoes through the wide cavern, and drown out the noise of the bullets. Damn, it's like the band is actually there blasting your ears out

>Not only do you feel even more empowered, but it seems that the diamond dogs are demoralized a bit. They're not so enthused about going after you. Have you become a monster?

>It seems like it, as you start shooting the M9 into the crowd

>They're still coming after you

>And it takes about two bullets to take down a dog

>Fuck

>Empty

>Reload

>Continue fire

>Hit one right between the eyes

>At this rate, you have enough time for one more magazine

>Fine

>You reload, and start shooting wildly into the zerg rush of enemies while you unsheath your knife

>Out of ammo

>Drop the M9

>You rush towards Twilight Sparkle

>Dog in your way

>He has his spear pointed right at you

>Oh, I think I'll just let that happen

>Yeah, right...

>You dodge the spear and make quick work stabbing him

>Pulling your blade out, you notice you're surrounded

>MUSIC TO FULL BLAAAAST!

>Their ears must hurt even more than yours, and yours feel like they'll bleed at any second

>They're gripping their ears, and you continue the slaughter, getting soaked in blood

>Soon, you look like you had a gallon of blood dropped onto you

>Behind you, you get stabbed

>Shit, that hurt

>You also get punched in the stomach

>And in the ribs

>And in the kidneys

>You're down now

>Get up

>Slice up a couple more dogs before you're forced down again, getting stabbed and hit all over

>Well, you had a nice run

>Your only regret was that you couldn't explain your drunken rage last night to Twilight

>With all your strength, you pull out the dynamite, and a lighter

>Light the fuse

>"OH SHIT!"

>The dogs notice your little bomb

>They try to take it from you

>A combination of the resolute strength of a dying man and their uncoordinated efforts keeps them from getting your makeshift grenade

>You always did want to die in a blaze of glory

>You start to shout with the last lyrics of the song

ENGAGED IN CRIME I GRASP MY THROAT

ENRAGED MY MIIIIIIIND STARTS TO SMOKE

ENFORCE A MENTAL OVERLOAD

>They finally grab the dynamite, but it's already too late. The fuse is beyond any point of reachability

ANGRY AGAIN ANGRY AGAIN ANGRY OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

>A loud explosion interrupts you and you close your eyes, seeing black

 

 

>You open your eyes and see a purple dome over you

>It seems you're still alive

>But everything around you is fucked

>You see limbs thrown around everywhere

>Blood is everywhere

>Slowly you get up

>You start coughing up blood

>Not good

>Looking ahead, you see Twilight and Applebloom, and Higgins is gone.

>In fact, you see stragling diamond dogs running into various exits

>You jog over to the two ponies

>BAD IDEA

>FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK

>Applebloom has her hooves over her eyes. Twilight has tears in hers

>"Keep your eyes closed until I say otherwise Applebloom"

>"Ok Twilight"

>She turns to you

>"Anon, you came for us..."

Yeah

>"But you were going to kill yourself..."

Yeah

>"And that song... It was scary...."

Yeah

>"Why were you going to kill yourself????"

>You can't continue looking at her. She's emotional, and may have some PTSD. You need to get them out of here ASAP

Come on, we have to leave now!

>She nods, picks up Applebloom, and follows you

>You lead the way, only pausing to pick up your discarded guns. Quickly reloading the M9, you feel you can never be too careful, especially right now

>Picking up your M1, you just sling it around you. No clips. Might as well be a glorified club.

>You soon come across that box you set down

>Turns out you found a huge column that looked like it would collapse the tunnel if it were removed

>That's what you intended to do

Go on ahead. I have to light the dynamite

>She turns her head and yells "NO!"

What?

>"How do I know you won't just stay there?"

>Huh. From what she knows about you, that's actually a legitimate question

>But still, very emotional

I won't stay behind. I swear

>Look her in the eyes

>Ouch. Did you two just have a little moment?

>You didn't like that

>She turned and walked away

>At least it got her going

>You wait until she's a good distance away, and then you light the sonofabitch

>And run

>RUNNINGOHGODOHGODWHATHAVEIDONE

>Still coughing up blood

>And bleeding

>You somehow manage to catch up to Twilight

>The two of you run away

>"Hey, shouldn't it have gone off by n-"

>BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

>Rocks everywhere

>Keep fucking running

>That's the entrance you took going in

>Now it's your exit

>FUCKING RUN

>Somehow, you made it before the whole underground collapsed

>Immediately, you vomit blood

>Applebloom finally opens her eyes

>"Uh Twilight, what's wrong with Mr. Ahnon?"

>She turns and gasps at the your bloody mess

>Her horn starts to glow...

>And then Higgins comes and grabs her

>"Did you think that would stop me? I may have lost my army, but like a phoenix, I will rise from the ashes of my dogs!"

>You unholster your gun and jump up to your knees

>And notice he's got a handgun-sized crossbow aimed at Twilight's head

>"It's either her or you. Make your choice!"

>You see the insanity in his eyes

>Reminds you of...well you, with one exception

>He's an untrained amateur

>You're a professional.

>You gently toss your gun in front of you, landing 5 feet ahead.

>He's about 10 feet way from you

>"A poor decision Anonymous!"

>He fires as you leap forward

>You miscalculated your reaction time

>He hit you in your thigh

>But you still have the advantage

>He thought you would let him shoot you

>You grabbed your gun and fired.....

>And hit Twilight Sparkle

>She falls

>Immediately, you empty your clip into Higgins

>"No...Fair..."

All's far in love and war, buddy.

>You crawl over to Twilight Sparkle and examine the bullet wound...

 

>She got hit in her hoof, above the knee joint... or where the knee would be if she were a human

>Exit wound...good, there's one. You would hate to have to dig out a bullet

>You quickly remove your ABU blouse and sand t-shirt, and rip the t-shirt into strips

>Your training kicked in and did the rest

>Stopped the bleeding

>Stable

>But she seems out of it

>"...Anon, why?"

>She passes out

It was an accident. I'm sorry

>Tears run down your face

>This hurt much more than Ashley

>You get up and fireman carry her.

>Applebloom follows you

>"Hey Mr. Ahnon! That sure was some fantsy fight'n ya did back there!"

Yeah

>"Is Twilight gonna be 'k?"

Yeah, of course

>You're weak, you're depressed, and you're hurting

>She keeps on talking all excited as kids always do, and you nod here and there, say yeah in the appropriate places, and just listen to her

>Applebloom is pretty much keeping you going at this point

>You make it into town, and see that town reparations are going on right now

>Even at...well, it's sunset, so yeah, it's kinda late for the day

>Almost immediately you're spotted, and ponies come running towards you

>Gently, you take her off your shoulders

She's got a flesh woud on her hoof, and possibly some Post-

>"We'll take care of her from here"

Alright, thanks.

>There's a carriage that comes by shortly to pick her up

>with that responsibility gone, you let yourself fall face first and pass out.
