Cold War: Global Threat

Chapter 6 - Shadows of the Past

August 19, 50 | 1:32 am | cold and dry.

We arrived at the base, Jack had fainted halfway, and was taken to the nursing room by Black, I sent some soldiers to analyze what was inside the truck, and they did so, I walked around the base going to the Officers' tents, Lyra, Stone and Drops were accompanying me:

"That was close, what about the next one?" Lyra asked.

"There won't be a next one..." I replied.

"The threat continues, and there was even an assassination attempt." Drops asked.

"Captain... we had everything under control!" I replied to her.

"Yes, I know, but..." she was going to say something.

"We have more important things now, Drops, and I want you at the meeting with the Intelligence Officers tomorrow!" so I cut her off with a more severe tone of voice, looking at her.

"Yes, sir..." she was quiet.

"Dismissed." I told them.

After they left I lit a cigarette and started to get my mind in order, I needed to find out where Jack's double was, about the meeting with the Officers and the War Council, avoid a direct war with Stalliongrad, talk to AppleJack about the computers, there was a lot, and I was getting exhausted. My personal life had simply disappeared, I was no longer being completely autonomous, I had become a puppet of my own job, while some had their families and chat circles, I was just a robot who was working and doing nothing but Therefore, I needed to talk to someone urgently, to open up again. The last time I opened up to someone was with a Germaneighian girl, it was the first time I fell in love with someone, and what I thought would last until the end of our lives, actually lasted an entire afternoon, maybe even less, I will never forget about her, Meer Kreide, dark green pastel hair, dark sea green skin, blue eyes, 1.67 tall, she was beautiful, we met when we were advancing into the territory of Germaneighia itself, we found a small town full of enemies and civilians, the Germaneighian Officers even put children on the front line, at that point in the championship I was already used to killing those vermin, so I shot the Officers even before one of our superiors told someone random to shoot them, at that moment I just I was angry, but in the end the city was cleaned, I walked around the place, then I saw her, she was in the city park, sitting on a bench, next to a tree, I started walking towards her, then I stopped, no very far from her, I thought it was just nonsense, so when I went to turn to leave, she looked at me and waved, I waved back. She got up and walked towards me, and we started speaking in the local language:

"Hi... I'm Sniper..." I said.

"Meer Kreide." she replied.

"Beautiful name." I replied back.

"Thanks." Meer thanked him.

"Do you speak my language?" I asked.

"Of course I did, I studied in Equestria for a few years!" she replied in my language.

"Oh, cool." I replied back in my language too.

"How long have you been speaking German?" she asked.

"When the war started I had to learn." I replied.

"Oh... right..." she said.

"It ended up being part of my routine to kill... your army..." I said.

"It's okay... they don't feel sorry for anyone..." she replied.

"Then, Sniper, you found a..." Lock appeared.
