private MACH: Sound Broken

@@Doc. Volt, 

Seeing his prey shot down, Seth turned to Fang. The unconscious wolf's heart rate was still faint, but was at the vary least stable. He nodded to Vex to take care of his brethren while Seth investigated the winged pony. He walked out of the house and began to hunt. After roughly ten minutes, he spotted a crying Volt lying on the ground. Reloading his handgun, he approached the pony.

 

"Volt. What the hell? Why the wolven hell did you nearly kill us all?" Seth asked.

"what?"

 

Volt slowly started to retreat dragging himself toward a tree, trying to get up, but his leg hurted very much

 

"i... it... it wasn't me... yes it was me but.. it wasn't.. it... it's.... just kill me ok? It's way more simple.... "

"i will probably never able to fly again... and HE is going to hurt more ponies.. just pull that trigger"

Seth was questioning what to do. He could end a life and ensure more, or he could save one, but potentially endanger more. After a second, he made up his mine. He charged the gun and raised it to meet Volt. His gaze was stone cold. He leveled his shot, and pulled the trigger.

 

The blue bolt of energy flew from the gun, heading directly on coarse with what it was aimed for. With a satisfying spark, it landed on it's target.

 

With the coils of Volt's back shot, Seth had no reason to fear Volt. He lowered the gun and advanced on him. Holding the pony by his neck, claws nearly piercing his skin, Seth demanded, "Who are you?!?"

Summer raised an eyebrow and said "if that will make you feel better. Cuz that's why I did it the first time." she smiled as she looked at him. Doc looked up and grunted impatiently. "Drone, we need to figure this out. Why are they after you? We don't have a lot of time, they will probably track you here. You need to give us more details so we can help you. And don't say you don't want help because you have involved all of us in this."

Seth wasn't sure how to respond to the explanation, mostly because of not comprehending what he had said. He focus jumped from Volt to his continues questions running through his mind. With every question he thought he answered, three took it's place. As he lost himself to his questions, he lessened his grip on Volt's throat, eventually letting go. He backed away from the pony, prepossessing the situation. What the questions always came down to was,

 

'Do I extinguish a life and prevent death, or do I spare him and potentially risk those who could fall to his power?' 

 

Seth was torn on two fronts, both having the same reasons. Honor, valor, protecting those he needed to, and doing what was right. He slowly brought up the DC-17. He knew he had to protect his nation over the cost of one life. He aimed down the sight, right for Volt's scull. As he edged towards the trigger, one final thought ran through his head. He fired the round, striking the tree above Volt.

 

"I'm sorry Volt. I don't kill innocent beings, no matter what." He said, tossing the gun to the ground. Seth looked at the weapon, remembering the reason of his change in mind: his last day in the pony-wolf war.

Summer looked slightly afraid as she folllowed the two mares. Rainbow and Twilight looked uncertain, as if they didn't know if they were allowed to stay or not. The stallions stood a little straighter and Flash deadpanned. Doc's expression was unreadable, and Firebrand looked nervous.

Drone looked up at the two remaining mares,"Didn't you hear me?...I said leave!"he said in a harsh voice,as soon as they left,he looked back and stared at each of the stallions,panning around to each gaze before sitting on his hind end and saying in a very bleak,dark,and emotionless tone,"They want me captured because I had disemboweled Chrysalis...because I had killed her,because I had made myself look 'bad'...because I am who I am..."he said,slowly glaring at the six stallions(assuming there are 6),he then looked away and took in a large breath,"...So,elements of nature...do you resent me for being immortal? Or do you love the fact that you all have one more...I have been doing research,and I figured out what I want to do with this...power...this eternal life of mine...and this suit...I shall donate it,Donate it to our military...and then donate the schematics to the wolf empire...and I will be a 'civilian'..."he said,his eyes still slowly scanning each face.

[WhiteGuardian 168]

Twilight looked shocked and Rainbow scowled and said "Whatever." The two mares left the lab and Rainbow slammed the door behind her. Flash flinched and some of the other stallions rolled their eyes again. Then they listened patiently and carefully as Drone spoke. Then Clay chuckled and said "Look, no offense partner. But yer not exactly the mos' dangerous or strange thing we've come across." Then Lancelot said "And Doc has already told us everything that happened, and we don't blame you for how you reacted, but based on the things Flash has told us, we don't think your evil. He thinks very highly of you you knlw." Lancelot smiled while Flash blushed slightly. Then Jay said "Yeah but he has also told us how dumb you can be too." He smirked and Flash glared at him. Jay continued "But you must have done something right, cuz Flash still sees you as one of his best friends." "And any friend of Flash is a friend of ours."said Firebrand while the rest of them nodded in agreement.

"Do you think you are the only one who has blood on their paws? If you do, you are sadly mistaken. You are not the only being who has killed uncountable lives. Do you know why I never talk about the first war I was in? It's because I killed ponies. A thousand years ago, I was forced to fight a war that should not have started. Our nation sent hundreds of thousands of our warriors to counter the Discord slave army. I had been trained as a pup for war, trained to be the ultimate warrior. With my team of ten, we secured many fronts across the battlefield. But it left scars on us. You might have killed ponies with experiments, but I was forces to take hundreds of lived daily with my bare paws. We were even forced to eat the bloody remains if supplies were cut off.

 

"The last day during a raid on a small town, we flashed the area with incendiaries. When we moved up, I saw something that put me over the edge: A young filly writhing in pain as she slowly burned to death. That's when I was nearly killed. I knew I was responsible for the death of kids, but seeing that... I....couldn't take it."

 

Seth put down the gun and closed his eyes, trying to purge the ill memories of his past. Then he looked up and yelled. "It's like you said, death is a gift! If I have to live through this mess, then you will too!"

Seth jumped at the sight of blue energy streaking towards him. Instinctively, he hit the ground, pulling his second pistol. The wolf watched as Volt struggled with himself. After the pony seemed to die down, Seth brought up his pistol. Flicking a switch on the sidearm, he shot off three stun rounds into the pony. It might be considered overkill, but he knew better than to overestimate the situation.

Remembering his previous mission, the wolf turned to his COM line. 

"Hawk, you don't happen to know where that one pony went, do you? The one that left after Volt smashed through the roof?" Seth called to his eye in the sky.

 

 

"Remember that house he went to the first time around when you flew over to pick him up for this covert op? Same place." The air-wolf called from the C-130.

 

"Good. A bit of a walk, but good. You wouldn't mind landing to give us a lift, do ya?"

"...Maybe..."

 

"Fine, I'll walk. But you owe me so much when I get back."

 

Seth signed off the com line and gripped Volt and tossed his lifeless body over his back. He winced as the presser intensified on his wings. As he began walking, he wondered why he didn't ask Hawk for one of the ATV's they packed for the snow mission.

Finally, he was in sight of the structure from his earlier visit. He placed down Volt and stretched his body. When examining his wings he noticed some feathers where bent.

 

"Well... guess I'm not flying anytime soon." He muttered to himself. He winced, plucking the bent feathers. He had been a pterolykos for a short time and he still hadn't learned proper wing etiquette. He placed Volt's limp body on his back and continued on his walk to the house.
