"You are hereby exiled, Applejack Apple, for the murder of a royal service member and the attempted murder of Prince Blueblood." Celestia stated while all around her, her friends glared at her while her family called for her innocence.

"SILENCE!" Luna roared as she glared at the apple family who glared back much to her shock.

"You are forbidden from ever stepping hoof into any Equestrian territory for the rest of your natural life. Your sentence will be carried out in 2 days Applejack and longer and you will be put to.....Death." Twilight said glaring at the ground.

"Y'all gol dern youngins ain't takin’ my grandchild away for somethin’ she ain't done! You take her away and tha rest of us go with her!" Granny Smith said tapping her cane on the ground as the apple family around her cheered.

"Eeeyup." Mac said glaring at the shocked princess' eyes before he looked over at a almost giddy prince.

"I can not back down from the sentence and the evidence is too incriminating to be false." Celestia stated while Applejack continued to stare at the ground in shock.

Exiled. Such a harsh word to her ears as the two bickered back and forth before she looked at her friends and could see the disgust they had for her before she looked at Twilight who couldn't even look her in the eyes. She looked back down and her gaze hardened. She could hear the wind howling and the rain smacking the window in the courtroom, fitting she guessed as she looked back up at her ex-rulers.

"Fine. Ah'll leave." She stated so low Celestia barely heard it and looked over at the mare in chains and shackles around her wrist and ankles while she glared at them.

"Are you sure sugarcube?" Granny asked as Applejack looked over at her with tears streaming down her face.

"Yup, nothin’ can be the same again. So with mah last words as a Equestrian citizen I damn you all to tartarus." Applejack said glaring at Blueblood.

"Very well Applejack Apple." Luna stated as Twilight raised the gavel.

CLACK!

(10 years later)

"AH!"

"Applejack? We got us some spies on the helipad think you might want to take a look." She heard Fritter say through her door as Applejack rubbed her face.

"Ok sugarcube ah'll be there in a bit." She stated hearing the winds outside and waves crashing.

"Careful out here cousin, the storm is just getting to us." She said and walked away.

(Middle of the Griffon Sea)

My blurry eyes opened as I felt the pain in my head and tried to focus on the black and orange figure in front of me. I could hear the sound of waves crashing and feel the rain on my head. I couldn't move my arms or even talk as my vision came back to me and my heart dropped looking at the mare in front of me.

"Hey sugarcube, mah names Applejack Apple, nice to see you awake. Folks ‘round here call me The Boss." The mare was slim and built she wore a red beret with a pony tail along with a eyepatch on her left eye. She had on a black vest with many pouches holding magazines and a few grenades and forest camo pants and tan combat boots, in her hand was a revolver six action, one of the most powerful hand cannons ever made. Strapped to her chest was a M-393 large caliber assault rifle.

"Now you may be wonderin’ how y'all got into this little predicament, so I'll explain. I'm guessin’ that you and your little friends over on either side of you came here under the princess' orders right? After I was exiled by the three princess', mah family and I packed up all our things and headed out to carve a name for ourselves with some good honest work. But ah guess the creators had different plans." She growled as a kitsune walked up beside her and whispered in her ear getting a nod from the mare.

"Sorry ‘bout that, where was I? Oh yeah, well after we left and made a home near the fertile fields outside the Forgotten City we made a name for ourselves to our surrounding neighbors sellin’ our wares till we were attacked by Equestrian soldiers." Her hand clenched around her revolver before looked at me as I started to struggle.

"Now now y'alls time will come ain't no reason to get all fidgety. I know you didn't have anything to do with the deaths of nearly all my family. Stallions, mares, and foals all killed like wild animals cause it seems like Equestria is goin’ into a bit of a depression from what ah hear." She smirked at me.

"Now after the attack it scattered mah family and we lost everything before me and my sister and big brother were rescued by Griffon soldiers. After that me and mah brother joined the griffon military servin’ the required 3 years of duty, all the while mah sister started High School." She grinned at me tapping my nose with the muzzle of her revolver.

"But y'all already knew who I was and all bout the attack and everythin’ didn't you sugarcube?" She asked as I looked down as she scoffed.

"Ain't no reason to be ashamed sugarcube ah knew who y'all were the moment I layed eyes on you. Kinda hard not to see a Equestrian military inspector and spy come on my little cozy corner of the world." I tried to deny it but I knew it was true no reason to save face now when I'm caught.

"Now I understand that you're just doin your job, but ah can't have my people in danger cause Equestria likes to stick its nose in other folks business. If you must know we get regular checks every year by the griffon nation to make sure we don’t become terrorist." She said twirling her revolver.

"You should understand that notion Mr. Darkstar, you would do anything to keep your family safe right. Well that's what I'm doing for mine. Now you know all about my past after my exile but let me tell you a little of the facts you don't know." She said to me and squatted down looking into my eyes.

"Mr. Darkstar I don't care if you believe me or not but I will tell you that I was framed by the Prince himself.'' She said and she was right I didn't believe that not one bit.

"Here I can see already you think I'm lying so I'll let you in on another secret, I was once the Element of Honesty." She said as my eyes flew open.

"That's right! Now my name really rings a bell don't it? Honest Applejack is what I used to be called and everyone knows ah can't lie to save my life. Believe me now Mr.Darkstar?" She giggled at the shock on my face I'm sure but who could really blame me?

"You see the old prince wanted us to sell our land to him to build some kind of fancy resort and when we didn't, he tried to seduce me but me and mah brother saw straight through it and sent him packing. Well I guess that pissed him off somethin fierce cause next thing I know I have the royal guards beating down my door at 3 in the morning sayin’ that ah was seen killin one of his private guards tryin to get to him." She sighed before looking back up at me.

"I lost all my friends that day and the farm after we all moved away so Blueblood got what he wanted in the end and from what I heard it is a booming casino/hotel. Course that was before I leveled it to the ground after takin everything in the safe." She gave a cocky smirk at my surprised look.

"You know even after everything I told my friends they said they couldn't believe me and that the evidence spoke for itself. Ah got to admit they really know how to frame somepony and kill any kind of alibi I had to prove my innocence. Hell even Rainbow Dash, the loyalist of my friends, turned her back on me. I guess it's a good thing we don't have the elements anymore so they wont come looking for me if somethin bad happens." She said before a huge grin spread across her face while she held up a key that had three apples on the crest.

"Course I'm sure when Twilight can't find the last key to open that box of hers, she and the others will come beggin me on their knees for me to come back, only to toss me away after I hand the key over. That. Ain't. Gonna. Happen!" She growled as a large stallion walked up behind her tapping her on the shoulder and nodded getting a sigh out of her.

"Well Mr. Darkstar ah'm sorry it came to this but it looks like our time is up and Equestria needs to be sent a message." She said standing up while a cold look came over her eye as I stared down the barrel of her revolver and heard a groan to the left and right of me making me look to see my two body guards. I looked back up at her getting the most hateful glare I had ever gotten in my life as a griffon walked up behind her in a military uniform.

"Boss, it's time." He said getting a nod from her.

"Well partner I would say it was nice knowin ya but that would be a lie so see ya."

BLAM, BLAM, BLAM!

Applejack sighed as she felt a coat go over her shoulders and smiled back at her friend.

"Thanks Ravenclaw." She said looking down at the dead stallion tied up to a post on the landing pad just as a helicopter landed.

"BOSS!" She turned and saw one of her soldiers making her way to her giving a salute.

"Report."

"Ma'am, it looks like several ships with the Equestrian Flag are headed this way." He said getting a nod from her as she looked over at Ravenclaw.

"Ah don't believe that y'all gave permission for them to be in yer waters did you sugarcube?" She asked while he growled.

"No we didn't." He snarled walking away on his phone.

"Anythin’ else?" She asked looking back at the stallion.

"A flight of pegasi are going to be launching soon and if they do, they’ll be on us in 30 mikes ma'am." He reported getting a nod from her.

"That all?"

"Yes ma'am."

"Ok go sound the alarm and be ready to repel boarders, the GRN will handle the ships. Bring the shields online and get ready for the turkey shoot." She said as the soldier gave a salute and ran off and before long she heard the base alarms going off.

"So you finally came huh?" She asked looking down at the key to the box of Twilight's as she heard the boom of cannon fire coming from the distance in the fog that was starting role in.

"Those damn Equestrians! Are they trying to start a war with us!?" Ravenclaw snarled as Applejack shrugged.

"Be stupid if they did." She smiled watching the horizon be lit ablaze.

"Beautiful ain't it?" She asked getting a sigh from him.

"It is, though I wonder if any of the elements are on those ships?"

"Ah can only hope." She said before walking down the catwalk towards her room at the center of the base.

'Can't wait to see Applebloom.' AJ thought as she made her way to her bed her hooves clacking on the ground before she plopped down into her desk chair.

'Can't believe it's been so long. 10 years after my exile and look at where I'm at now. Wish Granny Smith was here to see it now.’ She sighed and got up heading for the bathroom while shedding her clothes.

(Equestria.)

On the forest floor if you didn't know it was there you would have missed it and walked right past it. It moved at a snails pace only when it needed to, it froze watching as a manticore walked by before moving to the edge of the forest where it's checkpoint was.

"Ah'm in position."

[Great job Ghost. Can you see the target?]

Ghost pulled her rifle up to her as she looked through the scope.

"Roger. Target sighted." Through the scope, she grinned at the stallion that was about to open up a new shop.

[Take the shot sugarcube]

PIFF!

Ghost smiled as the stallions head popped like a grape in front of the people.

"Ah lost mah granny and most of the rest of mah family cause of you. Burn in hell ya bastard." She said getting up in a kneeling position before fading into the forest like she was never there.

(Saddle Arabia)

A young mare with red short hair and a brown coat moved through the halls of a terrorist base after planting her charges she needed to kill the leader of the group.

[Fox what is your position?]

"At my targets location, executing." She reported silently pulling the pin on a grenade and rolled it into the room.

THOOM!

TATATATATATATATATA TATATATATA!

After clearing the room she walked up to the downed leader whose legs were gone and it was only a matter of minutes before he would die as she heard yelling down the hall.

She walked up to him and pulled her side arm pointing it at his head only to feel the cold barrel of a gun to the back of her head.

"You know I would have figured that a assassin would have just taken the shot." She smirked quickly whipping around grabbing the would be assassins arm and breaking it at the elbow making him scream in pain only to be shut up by a powerful strike to the throat crushing his windpipe.

"Idiots."

BLAM, BLAM!

"This is Fox moving to extract."

[Roger that Fox pickup will be there as soon as you arrive.]

(Ponyville)

Princess Twilight was in a panic after today when the assassination of a noble at the opening of one of his refineries and was being aired on the radio when it happened. He was also a leading military adviser that approved the mission to have peace talks with Applejack's family but the mission had gone horribly wrong with over 40 stallions, mares, and foals killed in the mission and over 20 guards killed and 56 wounded.

Twilight sighed as she looked over the documents for his operations when Blueblood walked in with an arrogant smirk on his face.

"Hello Twilight." He said trying to lay on the charm.

"What do you want Blueblood, I'm very busy right now." She groaned getting a grunt from him.

"I was just coming by to see if you wanted me to handle this mess." He said as she turned to him.

"No. I want to make sure everything is looked into and from what I've seen from you Blueblood, you like to cover things up and I knew that you and Farsight had dealings with each other and I want to know what it was about." No sooner had she said that, a mare burst into room.

"PRINCESS TWILIGHT! THERE'S AN EMERGENCY MEETING THAT YOU NEED TO GO TO RIGHT NOW!" She yelled in a panic.

"Whoa Starshine, what's going on?" Twilight asked keeping an eye on Blueblood.

"The griffon ambassador is here and he is furious and is threatening war." She panted making Twilight's eyes fly open.

"But why!?" She asked as the mare shook her head.

"I don't know princess, but the sisters need you now." She said before running back to inform the sisters while Twilight sighed and looked at the glaring prince.

"Do you have something to do with this Blueblood?" She growled getting a glare from the stallion.

"Don't throw accusations around Twilight when you have no evidence." He growled back.

"Leave my chambers Blueblood." Twilight snarled pushing the stallion out and slamming the door closed.

'Blueblood seemed really intent on getting these papers.' She hummed before packing them in a folder and then securing her room with a flash of magic while looking at the guard next the door.

"Make sure NO ONE goes in besides myself and check for any illusions, remain vigilant." She said getting a salute from him and his partner.

(Royal Hall)

"THIS IS A OUTRAGE! THE FACT THAT YOU SENT WAR SHIPS INTO OUR WATERS ALONG WITH A SPY TO ONE OF OUR MILITARY SEA OUTPOSTS IS NOTHING SHORT OF AN ACT OF WAR!" Twilight heard the griffon ambassador scream in rage through the door while she sighed and entered.

"Ambassador please, we never sent any warships to your home waters we swear on our kingdom that we would never do that to a friend." Luna said worried as the ambassador seemed to be ready to explode.

"Oh then what of the 20 sunken ships that attacked the 4th fleet, sinking and killing some of our finest soldiers after numerous times of being hailed to turn around before they opened fire on the fleet!? Or how about the 300 Equestrian sailors and soldiers captured stating they had orders from YOU the princess' to head into our waters and capture and kill all on our water base, hm?" He asked as the princess' looked at him in shock.

"The fact that you just swore on your own kingdom and have been caught in a lie shows what pitiful rulers you really are. You will pay for this transgression. All trade and peace treaties are hereby cancelled and and Equestria will be heavily fined for its aggression and the loss of griffon lives and equipment." He stated and dared them to protest before he left leaving the shocked looks on all three princess' faces before he slammed the door snapping them out of the shock.

"Sister, what just happened?" Luna asked while Celestia glared at the ground.

"We just lost one of our biggest supporters in the last 4000 years and from the sound of it someone sent many of our little ponies to their death and are captured in a hostile nation now. I don't know what's going on little sister, Twilight do you know anything about this?" Celestia asked while Twilight shook her head.

"I don't know anything about this princess but I may in a few days just give me a little time and see if I can talk to the ambassador before he goes home." Twilight stated getting a nod from the two goddess before she took off after the ambassador.

She found him in the palace gardens glaring at the city before turning around to see her.

"What do you want Princess Twilight, if it's to beg for me to reconsider, I won't." He growled while she took a step back from the imposing ambassador.

"Please sir, please listen to me, we don't know anything about this. But I can assure you that none of us had anything to do with what happened, why would we attack an allied nation and only target some off shore base instead of land communications and other more higher profile targets. We have been allies since long before either of us were born, why would we do this over some lone base in the ocean?" She asked as he growled.

"I don't know, would you have me to believe that you have traitor in your hierarchy? Maybe one of your generals forged your signatures. It doesn't matter, I don't question the royal family, though if it was me, I would have invaded." He growled before walking away leaving a thinking princess.

'Who would have access to my signature besides me and the princess'?' She thought before sighing and heading back inside to tell Celestia and Luna what had happened.

　

　

(Kongo)

[(Song:For what it's worth)]

The sound of choppers filled the air as Applejack heard the the crackle of the radio. She was in jungle camo and had her hair back in a ponytail with a bandana. She had on a green armored vest and her rifle slung over her chest.

Her legs dangled over the open door as she looked down at the passing battlefield. She was the only one on the chopper as they headed to the DZ.

[30 seconds to the DZ. Are you sure that she's here ma'am?] The pilot asked.

[Yeah she's here alright. She's done stirred up the rebels pretty good here.] AJ stated as they slowed down over a group of rebels while she threw out the rope while rounds pinged off the chopper.

[GO!GO!GO!]

Applejack fast roped in as the ropes were let loose.

[Get on back to base sugarcube, ah'll call ya when ah have her.] Applejack said as the chopper banked left and flew away. AJ turned to see the rebels coming up to her.

(Who are you?) One asked they were kitsune and on edge as Applejack smiled.

(Ah'm lookin for Mai. Do you know where she is?) She asked as they shook their heads.

(No, last we saw of her was when the government bombed the HQ earlier this week. She wasn't part of the dead so we don't know where she is.) One of them said before his head exploded.

"SHIT!" Applejack dove for cover before she peeked over the edge.

(Hey! If you could help us out here!)

(What do you need?)

(You have air support right? Call it in and take out those tanks!) A vixen yelled and popped up firing into the advancing infantry.

[Command, I need air support now! All targets south of the red smoke are friendlies. Requesting danger close support over]

[Roger Boss you have three flights of Viper 221's in route along with AB support coming on station in 20 seconds. Over]

[Roger that, ah also need a bombing run on Mike Bravo 22459955. Need you to burn the forest down, over]

[Roger that Boss, bombers inbound in 10 mikes now, copy over?]

[Roger that command, Boss out]

[Boss this is Voodoo 51 on station, I need you to mark your position with a strobe and get low.]

[Roger that Voodoo 51, marking now.]

Applejack pulled one of her strobe grenades and tossed it behind her before popping up firing into the chest of an enemy soldier when the first rounds shook the ground.

[Boss this is Viper 2-0 coming on station, get small ma'am.]

[Roger that Viper 2-0]

(GET DOWN INCOMING!!) She screamed as all the kitsune hit the dirt when a Viper came over the battlefield firing missiles into tanks and infantry.

[Boss this is High Roller beginning our bombing run.]

Applejack smiled and looked over the trench to see the forest ablaze while explosions continued to rock the area.

[Ok Boss Voodoo is bugging out we are at bingo fuel and ammo falling back to rearm and refuel.]

[Roger that Voodoo 51 thanks for all your help.]

[You got it Boss, just call us again if you need us Voodoo out]

[Boss bombing run complete RTB to rearm.]

[Roger that High Roller, safe travels.]

AJ looked up and could see nothing but bodies and burning wrecks strewn across the battlefield just as the fighter/bombers flew over.

[Nothing's moving ma'am RTB and good hunting.]

[Roger that thanks for all your help guys.] She said standing up a little as a cheer went through the ranks while the kitsune charged forward killing anything that moved as one walked up to her smiling.

(Thanks for all your help today Applejack, you really helped us out.)

(Hey Mai, no problem. You got what ah need?) AJ asked getting a smile from the kitsune as she handed over a disc.

(Yep and you were right from the data banks that I found this in show's it all, got to say I'd hate to be the guy you're using this against.) She said getting a wicked smile from AJ.

(Good, I'll be sure to put them to good use. Are you coming home or you still workin?) AJ asked getting a sigh from the kitsune.

"Sorry Boss, but I'll be here till the contract is up." She stated getting a nod from Applejack.

"Alright then I guess I'll see you when you get home then." She said and radioed for pickup.

(Arabian Desert)

Babs Seed aka Talon One stood by the open door of the helicopter heading towards the DZ with three other mares behind her.

"Ok Talon, drop is in 3 mikes. Lets to one last radio check ok?" Talon Two stated getting a nod from her.

[Radio check, ya'll got me?]

[Talon Two reads you.] A rust colored mare said armed with a large caliber rifle hanging across her vest.

[Talon Three, roger.] The large orange stallion reported holding his L.M.G. between his legs with the barrel pointing down.

[Talon Four reads you.] The white colored pegasus mare stated with her rifle across her lap.

[Talon One reads you all. Be ready for combat once we hit the ground, you all know what the mission is. Talon Two find a good snipers perch and provide recon and overwatch for us while we go in for the V.I.P.] She said getting a nod from the others as the chopper pulled back slowing down as ropes were thrown out.

"GO! GO! GO!" She yelled grabbing the rope and sliding down taking up position as they others came down from the chopper.

"Ok lets move ponies." She ordered moving down the dusty street watching for hostiles.

[NOD's on ponies and move out.] She told her team.

[Super 6-6 we are on the ground and moving to the objective, see you at the EZ.] She told her pilots.

[Roger that Talon 1 see you in a few hours.]

Talon 1 and the rest of her team stacked up as they moved down the road watching for any hostiles.

While they moved through the city sticking to the shadows as Talon 2 broke off and moved to a high story building with a good view of the building.

[Talon 2 in position.] She radioed.

[Roger that Talon 2 we're moving in now.] Talon 1 said as the other three headed towards the apartment complex crouching down by a bullet riddled low concrete wall.

[In position, clear us a path Talon 2.]

[Roger, executing.]

Talon 1 watched as one by one six guards fell before they even knew what hit them.

[You're clear Talon, move in.] She heard as the team ran to the door.

"Flash and clear." Talon 1 ordered getting a nod from Talon three who cracked the door open pulled the pin on the grenade and tossed it in.

BANG.

The team stormed in clearing the room of the five terrorist that were standing guard. Talon moved up the stairs towards the 6th floor coming to a door at the top of the stairs.

"Talon 4 see what we're up against." Talon 1 said as the mare moved up pulling out a cord sticking it under the door.

"We have 10 hostiles ma'am with 5 more by the VIP." She stated.

"Ok, Talon 2 you copy?" She asked.

[Roger that Talon 1 ready to fire on your command.]

"Roger that wait one." She radioed back as they moved into position in the room where they could easily take them down.

"Take the shots." She whispered watching the first stallions head explode like a water balloon followed by the next four as the rest of them crouched above the cover they were behind opening fire clearing the room with their silenced weapons.

"Move in and secure the VIP." Talon 1 ordered.

"Talon 2 call for evac and be prepared to move." She radioed to her sniper.

[Roger that Talon 1, bird is inbound within 10 mikes followed by gunship escort. Over.]

"Roger that." She stated as she went to the small filly that was tied to a chair crying and shaking.

"Hey sweetie." She smiled but she filly couldn't see it with the mask over her face as she Talon 1 pulled the gag out of her mouth while the other members of her team secured the area.

"Who are you?" She asked still scared.

"We're the good guys and are here to take you home, ok Angela." She said getting a small smile from the filly.

"Did my dad send you?" She asked getting a nod from the mare.

"He did, but are you hurt anywhere Angela?" She asked while the filly shook her head.

"No."

"Ok, well are you ready to go home?"She said cutting her hands and legs free.

"Yeah, I want to go home." She said crying a little as Talon 1 picked her up.

"Lets move, same way back and head home. Angela I'm going to need you to stay very close to me, ok?" Talon 1 asked getting a nod from the little filly as they started to move back down the stairs and out the front where they met up with Talon 2 as three choppers flew overhead.

"Lets move ponies." She ordered just as they heard trucks moving down the road towards them.

"Move, move, move and stay quiet." Talon 1 ordered grabbing the filly's hand.

"Ok we're going to have to run so you're going to have keep up ok? Let me know if you can't and I'll carry you." She said getting a nod from girl.

"Ok lets move." She ordered as they raced to the outskirts of the city where Super 6-6 was waiting on them.

As they got to the border of the city Talon was spotted by one of the locals who ran to one of the local terror groups as gunfire thundered through the air.

"LETS GO! MOVE MOVE MOVE!!" Talon 1 yelled over the gunfire.

[This is Talon 1 we have the package and will be on you in 5 mikes! Be ready for contacts, they're right on us!] She radioed running holding Angela in her arms as bullets flew past them.

"I'M SCARED!" Angela yelled burying her head more into the Talon 1's vest clinging to her for dear life.

"Don't worry we'll get you home safely, I promise." She told her jumping over a low wall as her team provided covering fire as she ran spotting Super 6-6 waiting on them as two gunships flew over firing rockets and their heavy mounted guns.

She saw one of the door gunners waving at them to hurry up as they sprinted for the chopper.

"LETS GO, LETS GO! GET HER IN HERE!" He yelled helping the little girl into the chopper while the rest climbed inside.

"Don't worry sweetie you're safe now." Talon 1 said as the chopper began to lift off the ground.

"Good job guys chalk another mission up for you." She heard the door gunner say smiling at them.

"Heh all in a days work." She smiled looking over at the little filly that was snuggled close to her side making her smile wider as she ran her fingers through her hair.

"All in a days work." She said to herself leaning back against the cabin drifting off to sleep.
