private Canterlot Tales: Total Over-ride

After 20 minutes of struggling, Splinter had opened the box. ''Take whatever you need.. I'm pretty much good right now.'' Splinter said while smirking. ''I have my own resources.'' Splinter said. I hope I do.. Ever since I used that heat seeking missile 1 year ago I've been shot down to firearms!

''OOO! When there's a code like that.. It's like there is some giant back story behind it. Or was that my burned down poster of a cupcake? It had little words at the bottom written in blood.'' Splinter said. Didn't Pinkie Pie give me that poster? And why did I burn it down? Wait.. Where the hell IS Pinkie Pie?

Stonewal looked at the two of them with a stern glance. Whatever the circumstances, they had managed to find ammunition. It didn't really suprise him with the current conditions.Looking back to Ebony he leaned over and whispered in her ear. "Everything is alright. It would be a personal benefit to me if you stayed by my side at all times. I may not know what is going on, but I am sure we will both find out." Turning to the two soldiers in the room. "Very well then. Since we now have some kind of ammo, we need to get some answers. Which in the current situation is like finding the bad apple out of the orchard. So, I propose that each of you do what you are best at. Namely, Splinter, I want you to find any friends or assests that you have and cause hell. If you kick the hornet's nest hard enough, something is bound to come out. But do not destroy or harm civilians or their dwellings unless they start hitting back. Armed targets only at the get-go. You with the big rifle, I would like you to seek out a defensible position that you can provide support from and allow the rest of us to fall back if we need to."

 

"Ebony, stay by my side. You and me will be getting actual answers from whatever source may arise. Oh, and I suggest the local C.A.N.S. and guards for a starting point Splinter."

[Nothing&NoOne 695]

Ebony half smiled at him, then listened to the orders he was giving out. She stepped closer to him when he asked her and nodded, though she was uncertain. "Is it safe for us to go out?" She asked, her voice quiet. She'd barely seen Celesia's sun ever since the chaos started. After this long, she wasn't sure she wanted to again.

''I'll kill anything in my way! Unless it's Pinkie. Rule Number One, Never kill Pinkie. Cameron! Ryan! Let's go to Ponyvile! Check for any suspicions!'' Splinter said while saluting. ''Sir yes sir!'' Cameron said while smiling and saluting. ''I'm a cow!'' Ryan yelled randomly.

[HigurSan 195]

Stonewall smiled at Ebony re-assuringly before adressing Fine Tune. "Splinter and his friends are going to be assaulting the local guardsponies in an attempt to get someone of importance to come out. Its not the best of plans, but in my time here I have seen no one that might know the least about why Ponyville and so many places have come under an oppresive rule. The fact that Celestia is commanding it is obvious, but something tells me that there are alterior forces working behind the scenes. And yes Ebony, as long as you are with me it will be perfectly safe."

 

A few objects of intrest that took residence in Ponyville mainly took form in the local Guard units. While not well trained and lacking in moral, these ponies made up the vast mass of regular ground troops in modern day Equestria. At this moment in time there were three large gatherings of these miscreants, brutes, and thugs. One was located at the town square, as was usual protocol. Another patrolled the streets in packs, looking for anypony who even looked mildly suspicious. Finally, the Guard Quarters housed the local officer and his attendants.

Soon enough.. Splinter, Ryan, and Cameron were hiding in a bush. Splinter had his mask off and his face was covered in his own blood. ''Are we ready?'' Splinter whispered to Cameron. Cameron smirked and nodded. ''Let's do this..'' Splinter said while loading a desert eagle he had in his hooves. Cameron stared at a smaller pistol in his hooves and smiled. Ryan had a knife in his hooves. They Got into ponyvile and made it to the town square. They saw the guard. ''Should we wait? I mean.. I know I have no mercy and all, but isn't this a bad idea?'' Splinter said while cocking an eyebrow. ''You've killed royal guards, man. this is like stealing candy from a foal.'' Cameron said.

[null123456 759]

Splinter had dragged the dead body of the guard under a tree. ''If anyone asks.. He's resting.'' Splinter said while frowning. ''Where did Fine Tune go? Thought he was supposed to be here.'' ''He's probably using his rifle again.. He loved that damn rifle, man.'' Cameron said.

Ebony watched the 2 go. She looked at the ground, thinking, then looked up at the stallion. "I know how to get their attention." She said, her voice shaking slightly. She let her eyes trail away from him and she closed them. Her mind was screaming at her to pick something else; something safer, at least. But the guards probably wouldn't be able to get within a few meters of her, despite their power and large size. Nothing could, really. She knew she'd put the stallion in danger as well, but he looked like he'd be able to take care of himself. She opened her eyes and looked at him again. "You have me as your advantage. I'm being hunted for a few reasons, I'm sure they'd love to catch me. And if what I'm thinking of doesn't get their attention, I don't know what will."

 

//......Her corrupted side, if anyone forgot. xD//

[HigurSan 195]

Stonewall looked at her for a moment, considering the options. While it was indeed likely what she said was true, he was not very willing to take her up on it. Whatever power she might have, and he was sure she had power, it could likely be dangerous to others. In a situation where it only risked himself, he might have agreed. But while Ponyville was largely abandoned, civilians might get in the way. After some consideration, he shook his head. "I will keep it in mind, but right now we need to keep everyone we can safe, including you. Let us keep it as a backup plan. Follow me if you would."

 

Slipping out of his back door, he could hear shouting in the distance, likely the guards. The guards of course had noticed a distinct lack of one or two of their comrades, and after a short search, and tenative alarm had been raised. While it was promptly quashed by their commander, the guards were shouting the missing pony's/ponies' name in hopes of attracting their attention. Unfortunately, one of the guards stumbled, and tripped right into the bush where Splinter and company were hiding.

[null123456 759]

''Okay. Do we kill him?'' Splinter said while raising his gun. The guard shivered with fear. ''I'd kill him.. Right now!'' Cameron said while stabbing the guard in the neck. Blood was everywhere. ''Ugh.. Now I'm covered in more blood.'' Splinter said while rolling his eyes.

[Nothing&NoOne 695]

Ebony followed Stonewall silently. She looked behind her every now and then; she didn't feel safe out in the open like this. She looked over to where Splinter was hiding and saw the guard fall into the bush. She saw blood splatter from the bush a few seconds later, the leaves stained red. She stared at the blood for a few seconds, then closed her eyes and turned her head away. "..Where are we going?"

[null123456 759]

''I wonder what Fine tune is up to..?'' Splinter said. ''Probably spotting some crap that could change this entire situation. Just a wild guess.'' Cameron said. ''Yeah, well. Didn't we do that before? Remember when that creature from oblivion kidnapped Pinkie Pie? Didn't we save her?'' Splinter said. ''That's another Story.'' Cameron Said.

[Nothing&NoOne 695]

Ebony's head snapped over when she saw the groups of guards. Her breath caught in her throat; somepony must've noticed one of them. She looked up at Stonewall. "What do we do?" She said in a strained voice, trying to keep the panic away from her tone. She shrunk back a few steps. Not now..we can't be caught now..

[Nothing&NoOne 695]

Ebony flinched when she heard the shooting begin. She looked around wildly; Who was being shot at? She cried out in surprise when something from above hit the ground at her feet. She looked up and saw Fine through a window, evaporating the guards attacking him with his gun. She gaped, mouth open, eyes wide, as the guards turned into nothing, blood flying everywhere .

/Ah. xD Fixed it. On another note...TREACHERY TIME! WHOOOOOOO//

 

Ebony turned to Stonewall, then looked back to where Fine was. She watched as guards surrounded him, all of them looking rather pleased with themselves. She looked at Fine's face, and something flashed in her eyes. She closed them and her horn lit up with red magic, then it slowly turned darker until it was black. She disappeared with a crack noise and reappeared beside Fine, in a battle ready position, despite her closed eyes. She opened her eyes suddenly, her pupils in slits, and the colours of her mane switched.

 

Treachery grinned viciously at the guards surrounding them. "Hello boys." She said in a dark sing-song voice, walking in a cirlcle around Fine Tune. She looked into the eyes of each of the guards for a split second before looking at the next one. "Try me."

 

One of the guards took a step forward, levetating a spear with his magic.

 

Treachery looked over at him, a dark burst of energy shooting from her horn. The guard got hit by it, and his armor and spear fell to the ground where the surprised guard was standing a second before.

 

//PROGRESSION.//

''FINE TUNE! SHUT THE HELL UP!'' Splinter yelled while his eardrums burst. ''Urg.. I think my brain's brain is beginning to hurt.'' Cameron said. ''I didn't hear nothing! Nothing but me singing along to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Ponies Theme song!'' Ryan said while humming. ''I loved that show..'' Splinter said.
