We stand united 1x1 Maple Bat

[MickeyAdaptus 2,211]

"Don't worry, helping you with getting inside one of those centres would be the least I could do." Jack said reassuringly.

"Because i know this is going to be hard for you, i have experienced this feeling before, but i have to warn you, this is not something that you can recover from easily should it turn bad Woody, because i knew someone who had changed into a entirely diffren't person once he had found his wife and daughter in one of those centres." Jack said.

"I... I'll be ok." He messed with artifact on his neck. "With any luck she's still alive." He said laughing awkwardly "Anyways If it's ok I'd like the others to stay too. If anyone destroys this center I want it to be me. Selfish I know but at least it'll help clear my head about this mess. I just hope mom's taking it well where ever she is." Something told Woody taht if she'd known she'd have passed out, woken up and then passed out again. "Let's go I'll show you where it was." She said walking outside the temple.

[MickeyAdaptus 2,211]

"It is going to be dangerous Woody, you sure its smart if we go with just the 2 of us? I know you are strong, but we should not take any risk."

"Especially since i won't be able to fight the entire time, my body can only do so much before it starts to falter." Jack said nervously 

[Maple Bat 3,568]

"Yea! I'm sure. Harder to spot 2 of of us rather than 4 or 8 of us." Woody said lightly punching him in the shoulder. "We don't have to destroy it I just want to see Maple again we can leave if you'd rather after I see her again or stay and destroy it. Stealth is how ever is of great importance so I'll just use a simple spell to make it easier for us thought it's a long ways to that village She got captured in ready for the walk?"

[MickeyAdaptus 2,211]

Jack eventually smiled.

"Even tough it may seem rather dangerous to it like this, i cannot decline, because this is how i was taught to it in the first place. I am up for it." Jack said with a laugh.

[Maple Bat 3,568]

A few hours later Woody and Jack had arrived at the Town again. "Here it is." He pointed at the conversion center. "She's in there. What's the best way for us to get inside undetected?" He asked flipping through his song book trying to find his cloaking mist spell. "Give me a second to... Find... Ah here it is! Ok Go ahead."

Luna and Celestia had silently followed the two Landing behind them "What are you two doing here?" Celestia asked.

Woody flinched "Wha... Oh... I just wanted to see my sister again... If she's ok that is." He looked at the center with hatred and disgust.

Luna shook her head "Woody it's not about venga-"

"You're right it's about closure. Let's just get inside for now." He said shutting down any sort of argument.

Jack did feel a bit uncomfortable with trying to sneak inside the conversion centre, he always had this bad feeling in his stomach when he was around such places.

But he started to sneak regardless, though he kept walking past the guards, his heart beating very fast.

'Even tough i have seen these enemies a million times by now, i can never get used to the feeling...' he tought.

[Maple Bat 3,568]

Woody kept low and stayed next to Jack to be sure. He had shrouded Luna and Celestia in his special mist making them almost invisible while they where in the air "You get used to this yet?" He whispered to Jack as they got closer to the building when there weren't any guards nearby. "Can't see you did... this is actually really scary..." Other than his fear of being caught Woody was fine with the whole situation.

[MickeyAdaptus 2,211]

"To be honest, i can never get used to beeing around the enemy honestly, but these centres are something that have been a big nightmare of mine, being inside one tends to make me just very uncomfortable. It is is strange but its not only the fear that makes me feel like this, but back when i was imprisoned in the daemon realm, i had suffered to the exposure there, for 3 entire years, such things are very bad for ones mind. One could say i have a physical trauma againts the exposure of such energies, especially back when your father was using chaos magic, things in my body started to tense up really bad." Jack whispered back.

[Maple Bat 3,568]

Once the two got up to the wall Woody wispered to him again "Just get me inside I can find Maple from there." He sounded happy even while whispering "You're already doing a lot to get me inside the place I won't ask you to go inside with me. Luna should be able to help me inside if you wanted to avoid going in. Though it's up to you... At any rate where do we go now?"

[MickeyAdaptus 2,211]

Jack thought for a moment.

"The entrance might be our best bet, but there is one thing i must mention, this mist spell might not keep us hidden for that long.

Because their infected hunt their targets on the focus of blood and the sound of heartbeats, for you 3 it might be easier to hide as your body dna is different, but for me its just a bigger risk to stay so close to them, because their prime targets are in most cases either one of the 3 subspecies from my race, wich i happend to be part of, not only that, but before their infection they also used to be us, wich means they still has some of the older traits regarding senses as hearing and smell, just wanted to tell you that." Jack said.

[Maple Bat 3,568]

"In that case..." Woody quietly sang his calming melody Lowering both his and Jacks heartbeats he kept going until they almost stopped "That should help us hide." He started moving to the front of the building carefully once he saw the entrace he waved to luna who quickly came down to him. "Princess Luna How.'d you and jack get into this the first time?"

Luna put her hoof on her chin "We went through an elevator up closer to the top of the building... Why? Want to go there again?"

Woody looked at Jack. "Think It'll work again?"

[MickeyAdaptus 2,211]

"It will depend, because every conversion center has a diffren't layout, if there is an evelator, we should take it, but for all we know it could have a way diffren't building layout." Jack said.

"Tough how it will end up once we are in there, i mean, teleportation doesn't seem to work in these centers because of some kinectic field around the entire facility, tough me and Luna where able to use magical attacks tough, so i am not sure if your mist will be affected, it is a diffrent kind of magic after all isn't it?"

[Maple Bat 3,568]

"It is a rather simple spell though by your explanation it won't work" Woody said shaking his head. "The mist doesn't actually have magical properties it's just I cool the air around us to create a thick blanket of fog its easier to see through it while inside it so They can't see us but we can't see them. Once we're inside though I won't be able to use it but we shouldn't need it since the mist only works at a distance. Let's get in there." He said flying up to where Luna said that the elevator was,and started looking around for one.

Celestia was looking at the front gate. Wondering how she could get through it...

[MickeyAdaptus 2,211]

"Hold on Woody, the chance is very big that we will have to split up, as these centres can be massive, so I have an idea, put this in your ear and give the other 2 to Celestia and Luna." he said as he gave 3 of those to him.

He then looked at the front gate.

"Hmmm, i have an idea, if we use enough force with our magics, the 4 of us should be able to blast straight trough that front gate, but the moment we do that, we will be spotted, so we will have to handle fast once that happens." Jack suggested.

"Because those evelators are not outside the centre's atleast, from what i know about them.So, you up for my idea?" Jack asked

[Maple Bat 3,568]

Woody tossed one of the devices to Luna who was close "Alright sounds like a good plan. With 4 of us here then we should be able to pull it off" He waved Celestia down to come talk with him when she landed "Put that on where gonna blast the door open"

Celestia looked a bit confused. "Well... are you sure that's the best plan here I mean we are out numbered." She said nervously

"Never stopped us before plus we're gonna blow up the whole center anyways so why bother." Woody laughed "Ready?" He asked the princesses

Luna and Celestia both nodded agreement. "Ready" They said in unison

Luna noticed they said it at the same time "Jinks sister." She laughed

"Anyways we're ready to go Jack just say the word when you are." Celestia said moving back to where she was earlier.

[MickeyAdaptus 2,211]

Jack nodded.

He drew his rifle. But he lowered it so he could fire his magical blast to.

"3, 2, 1.. Go!!" Jack shouted as he fired his magic on the gate.

When the 4 fired at the gate, it broke down completely, but the enemy had been alerted to their position as well, lots of ranged enemies and infected where rushing to their position.

[Maple Bat 3,568]

Woody cloaked himself with magic "You 3 destroy the center I'll go find Maple." He said flying into the center.

Celestia and Luna drew their weapons Luna looked at Jack Handle the ranged enemies me and my sister will handle the infected ones." She said this as she struck a infected soldier. She saw a few of them where pony soldiers. "Make your peace now sister for this battles not going to be pretty."

[MickeyAdaptus 2,211]

Jack nodded as he started firing, altough he quickly jumped to cover as a hailstorm of bullets was fired upon him.

"This place does not offer much cover guys!" Jack said as he continued to fire upon the enemy, but barely was able to do so as there where to many of them.

[Maple Bat 3,568]

Luna put up a barrier she looked at the conversion center she remembered all the diffrent rooms "Let's get inside the center there should be some good places to fight inside there. Go... NOW!" She shouted pushing her way inside knocking over anyone in between her and the opened entrance

Celestia lifted Jack with Levitation onto her back ran after her "Sister this may not be the greatest Idea!" She yelled following her through the gap she had created "But You're not going in alone.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Woody had been searching for a long time now. It was easy since most soldiers where outside right now fighting the others Maple come on where are you... He thought to himself. "Maple! Are you here anywhere?!" His voice didn't carry to far so he knew that wasn't gonna work.

[MickeyAdaptus 2,211]

"Luna is actually right, inside we will perhaps face a lot too, but at least we can still hold our ground and guard certain entrances, outside they can flank us from almost every direction." Jack said

He looked around.

"Tough these rooms don't really seem to have just one exit, wich makes it harder to defend. Perhaps i can find a detailed description of this Centre."

Jack started to walk to a wall, wich had a ventilation shaft in it.

"How about i crawl trough the ventilation shafts and find us that control room? We can stay in touch with the radio's." Jack said.

[Maple Bat 3,568]

"Alright do that." Celestia said "Me and Luna can hold out for now. Just stay safe alright."

Luna stabbed a few other infected when she saw ones with guns approach she attempted to fire a magical blast at them

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Woody was searching desperately. He had seen some some ponys that looked a bit like her but never saw her. He'd been searching for sometime now he could hear the battle getting more tense. He spoke through his radio "Is everything ok over there guys do you need my help?"

He heard luna's voice a bit later through the radio. "Not now Woodland Though keep on your toes for now." Hearing that Woody kept searching.

[MickeyAdaptus 2,211]

Jack was crawling through the vents at a fast pace.

Eventually, Jack suddenly halted when he heard quiet thumping in the air vents.

"Hold on, something is coming." Jacks said through the radio.

Suddenly around 60 of those infected scorpion creatuers started swarming towards Jack from the vents.

"Taking something head on, i will give a update in a bit." Jack said as the radio sound was almost overflooded with screeches from the creatures.

 

[Maple Bat 3,568]

Luna and Celestia where keeping the room they where in safe. The only challenge for them was the bullets Both of them had put up shields at the entrances and they kept the enemies help back with all their magical strength. Luna heard what Jack said over the radio.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Woody had heard more clashing noises not the ones Luna and Celestia where making he saw Maple and Elorn fighting some infected enemies Maple had taken a few hits but she was killing a bunch of them with a knife she was using It didn't look like it was going well. He ran in blasting the enemies with his magic "Maple! Oh Celestia Maple are you ok?!"

Maple dropped the knife after the enemies where defeated she looked rough. "I... I am now" She hugged him "Thanks bro but how'd you get in here?"

"Jack helped me get in here I thought you where gone." Woody said tearing up "Lets get out of here!"

"We can't not yet we need to destroy it. We're almost there" Maple said pointing in a direction

"No We don't need to lets get out of here." Woody said looking at Elorn "Don't you agree?"

[MickeyAdaptus 2,211]

Elorn shook his head.

"You 2 should decide what is best for your survival, but leaving this centre standing is like purposely giving yourself a handicap to aid the enemy."

"I did promise to help you both, and in this instance, i will by destroying this conversion centre, because the less of these things remain, the safer for you 2 it will be," Elorn said he cleaned his knife on the fur from one of the infected.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jack was firing his weapon straight at the creatures that were charging him through the air vent.

At one point, however, Jack panicked and jumped out of the air vent, falling straight into a different room.

It was infact the control room, and nobody was in there.

"G-guys, i cannot do it, it is becoming to much for me." Jack said in afraid tone as he looked around.

"I normally inject myself with adrenaline to suppress my emotions during battle but... i thought i could do without it, but I can't!! "

he started to panic, as he knew he was not going to last long outside the room.

Jack heard footsteps close nearby.

"Listen, j-just try to stay alive ok? You guys can do it." Jack said with a trembling voice as he leaned againts the corner of the room.

'What was i thinking, crawling into these vents all on my own... I just wrote myself a death wish without even realising it.' Jack tought

'But it is even more stupid that i have to rely on injections to make my fear disappear.' he tought.
