(A/N: This is My first COD/MLP Crossover. This story is AU. This has some OCs (Original characters) and I'll try my best NOT to make any Mary Sues (or Gary stus in this case) Please R&R on what you think of it!)

(Summery: Shadow Company, Created by General Shepherd, Becomes a good U.S. Special forces after General Shepherd is killed. After weeks of debate, the decision for Shadow Company's future rests on the judgment of Task Force 141 leaders Captain John Price and Captain John "Soap" MacTavish (Yes, Soap is alive in this. So is Ghost since I'm a believer that he could have survived the gun wound that "killed" him in MW2. If you look, it shoots him in the stomach, and I've seen people with stomach wounds caused by gunshots survive and return to perfect condition.). After a long discussion about it, They agreed that Shadow Company could Aid the 141 in their missions "As long as they don't turn their guns on us again." Which The Shadow Company members swore to. Most of them admitted that they didn't even like Shepherd in the first place. Now Shadow Company, one of the most elite special force in the world ( next to Delta force and Task Force 141) assists in special missions that range from convoy protection to assassinations.)

Time: 0600 hours (6:00 AM)

Mission: Three man team is to scout a targeted facility in the Afghanistan desert before SAS forces land at the targeted position.

The sun was just rising on a desert area in Afghanistan. OpFor members had been up since 5:00 AM (Middle Eastern time zone) guarding a facility that was holding Tomahawk missiles that they had recovered from ammunitions convoy that they had destroyed the previous week. While the Soldiers were guarding the facility, OpFor engineers were trying to break an extremely difficult code that the U.S. forces put into the Tomahawks programming system so that hostile forces couldn't use it. Never the less, OpFor was determined to crack the code. What they DIDN'T know was that they were being scouted by an elite recon team.

About 1500 Meters (0.93 miles for those not familiar with the metric system) on top of a large sand hill, There were three Shadow Company soldiers. the leader is a Captain, one a Lieutenant, and one a Staff Sergeant.

Shadow Company started using nicknames like TF141 and Delta force operatives to keep their identities secret. They were all wearing the standard Shadow company uniforms, but they each had different jobs.

The first one, A Captain and leader of the trio, was James Phillips.

Weakness: During one of his first battles, he was stabbed in his left leg, which would be severe and took time to tend to the injuries. The leg wound has mostly healed, but Captain Phillips still experiences pain in that leg, making it a weak point if shot. To help the pain, military doctors prescribed him a certain type of pain pill that he has to take once a month.

"See anything?" Specter asked the Shadow Company soldier by him.

"Affirmative" the Shadow Company Soldier responded. He was observing the OpFor facility through the scope of his Barrett M82. "we've got multiple ground units around the entrance, and two towers with RPG teams ready to take down any choppers."

Specter nodded. "Alright, I'll radio it in. Pick one of the tangos that is using a RPG and take him out Scarecrow."

Scarecrow nodded. " Yes sir."

He is a devout Christian, often quoting scriptures while sniping. When he was asked how he felt about killing and being a christian, he explained how to bible said that there is a time for war, and how he will watch over those that honor him.

He became a 1st Lieutenant by the time of Makarov's Death.

Weakness: shortly after the battle of D.C., Scarecrow started to look for his brother, who was a captain in the Marine forces that was sent to help the Rangers, until he came to a soldier that he knew was a friend of Mark. He asked him where Mark was, but the Soldier put a hand on Scarecrow's shoulder and then grimly shook his head. He told him that Mark took a direct hit by an RPG while defending his 4 man team so the could get in a chopper, but Mark didn't make it. Nick, In Shock, broke down then and there. While he knows his brother was Christian (Mark brought Nick to Christianity) he still mourns about the lost of his brother.

"You alright?" asked the third Shadow Company soldier.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Scarecrow said while aiming at one of the Opfor that had a RPG. Scarecrow was the only one out of the three Shadow Company soldiers that was wearing a Ghillie suit over his Shadow Company gear. It was the same color as the desert sand.

"Alright, we need you in the battle since you're sniping these bastards," Jester said.

"Don't worry. Just don't get in my cross-hairs." Scarecrow replied. Jester simply shook his head, looking back towards the base.

He would always study different types of bombs, grenades, mines, and any other type of explosive weaponry. During his teenage years, he would work lifting heavy automotive parts, which made him strong enough to carry heavy weaponry. He got his nickname "Jester" For having a comedian like attitude, which he would use to lighten the mode. He and Scarecrow would make cracks at each other sometimes during combat.

Strengths: Demolitions expert, Strong.

Weakness: He can get carried away with his demolitions, and can tend to blow up things danger close to his squad.

"So, you think the British guy with the Mohawk will let us have some R&R after this?" Jester asked Specter.

"I doubt it. They didn't when we gave them the location of that hidden bunker where a Spetsnaz general was planning to drop a napalm strike on a part of Russia and make them think that the U.S. did it, Which we helped stop, now did they?" Specter replied. Jester scoffed.

"A "No" would have been good." Instead of calling each other "sir" the three communicate to each other as if they were all the same rank. They only use the proper talking when a soldier that has a higher ranking than all of them is around.

Specter got his radio out. "Overlord, this is Echo 3-1. We have confirmation on the LZ. Our team Sniper will take out the RPG teams to distract them while Task Force 141 units are landing, over."

"Overlord copies, two CH-46 Sea Knights carrying Task Force 141 and Shadow Company units are entering your sector and will land at the position where you pop the green smoke. take out those RPG teams so they don't take down our birds."

"Copy that Overlord." Specter replied. "Scarecrow, take em' out when we are close to halfway there. Jester, let's start our run. " Specter ordered.

"You got it."

"Time to die," Scarecrow said as he aimed at one of the OpFor that had an RPG. Scarecrow waited for the right moment, and judging the wind speed and the gravitational effect of the bullet, he fired. He watched through the Scope as the bullet penetrated the RPG soldier's head that he was aiming for. Since they were almost a mile away, the Opfor soldiers couldn't hear the gunshot Like Scarecrow did (which he was use to.)

"One down." Scarecrow said as he re-cocked the gun for the second shot. After he took the shot on the second RPG soldier, he noticed that some OpFor soldiers were scrambling outside the facility to make a counter attack.

"Specter, you're going to have visitors. Better pop those green flares now." Scarecrow said over the radio.

"Copy that. Popping green smoke now, cover us the best you can," Specter replied over the Radio.

"Roger that." Scarecrow replied, going back to picking off targets with his M82 Barrett. Thanks to his scope's magnification, he could clearly see the OpFor running towards Specter and Jester, who had just deployed green smoke flares to notify the landing position.

"Echo three-one, this is Thunderbird. We see your smoke signal, landing now." Said a chopper pilot over the radio chatter. Scarecrow took out another OpFor before turning the scope briefly to see the choppers land.

"Touchdown." One of the pilots said as the choppers landed. Multiple Soldiers from Task Force 141 and Shadow Company got out of the vehicles. Since Shadow Company was re-commissioned, The 141 now only had British and Australian soldiers, While Shadow Company had the U.S. soldiers.

"all units, be advised, black hawks Thunderbird and Raven will provide machine gun fire, but will then have to return to base to refuel, over."

"Copy That! All Task Force units, move out!" Said a British Captain, one that could be recognized by his trademark Mohawk. "Task Force units, regroup with Shadow Company units and head straight for the entrance gate! Price and I will meet up with Specter and Jester of Echo 3-1" Soap said as him and Price ran ahead to meet up with Specter and Jester.

"Glad you could make it to the party boys!" Jester said.

"We're not here to have a party, just here to crash it." Price said.

"Well, that's better! Let's get going!" Specter said. " Shadow company moving out!" " Scarecrow, report enemy positions to us that we need to watch out for and that we can take out while you provide Sniper cover, over" Specter said into the earpiece he had on. The earpiece is used by all the soldiers so they don't have to use handheld radios.

"Copy that. OpFor are moving into the building where target goldmine is located. They're guarding it at all costs." Scarecrow reported to Specter by radio.

"Roger. Shadow company, move forward!" Specter ordered.

"141, watch our six! Operation Goldmine is a go!" Price said.

But Operation Goldmine would take an unexpected turn when the forces find 6 new visitors that look human, but are from another dimension entirely.
