I lied. Sorry. I'll make each chapter 2,000+ words long, but I'll try to update frequently. Oh, and I've made it into paragraphs. heh, I should've done that, after all the fan fic I read.

He was sitting at his desk, feeling somewhat stressed. He got up and walked over to the meeting room. All of the men turned and looked at the man. "Men, I've brought you here today, because we haven't gotten any communication reports from the squadron we've sent into Russia." All the other men looked around, with worry on their faces. "Well, you all know what we have to do." He grabbed the radio transmitter, "We're sending Special Forces in."

The sound of leaves being crunched by boots and hooves alike filled the air. The 5 walked down the beaten path that the mares came from. They had decided that going to Ponyville first and letting everyone know what happened before searching for the others was a better idea. None of them wanted to speak. It was about an hour before 12, and they could see the clearing where Fluttershy's cottage resided.

"There's Fluttershy's house." Rainbow Dash pointed out. When they had reached the cottage the door was open.

"That's strange. Fluttershy ain't like that ta leave her door open." Cole and I looked at each other. We heard footsteps and voices that distinctively sounded Russian.

"You 3 go into town and tell everyone what's going on, we'll deal with these goons." The 3 nodded and galloped off to town, causing one of the men inside to become alerted of the noise. He walked over to the door, and started walking out of the door way. Cole and I both nodded, knowing what to do. He hadn't seen them, because they were against the front of the house on the porch. He stepped out onto the grass. I pulled out my knife and tackled him, knocking him to the ground face first. I stabbed my knife deep into his neck, cutting off the oxygen to his lungs, while preventing him from screaming. Soon, His body became limp.

I crouched and snuck back to the side of the house. I peeked in the window. Two tangos. I gave Cole the hand signal for two. He nodded. I ran in, the two turning around. They went for their guns, but I opened fire with my M16. They both dropped dead. We heard a muffled voice from upstairs.

We walked upstairs and saw Alex, tied up and gagged with a rag. He looked pretty good for have surviving a plane crash. "Alex!" We ran up to him and helped him out of his binds and got him on his feet.

"Oi, those sons of bitches got me while my back was turned." I was glad we had another soldier in service still, now we were just missing Finley and Dmitri.

We searched the rest of the house, but it was empty, side from the terrified animals. I took one of the Russians' guns, a M39 EMR, and handed it to Alex.Wow, thought they just used rusty old broken shit. He was glad it was a sniper rifle, because his deadly accuracy and keen instincts would be really useful for some jungle warfare. We dragged the bodies outside and threw them into a pile nearby the house. I grabbed the dog tags. The names read: Ivan Titov, Ruslan Nikitin, and Konstantin Sidorov. I added those to my pouch and closed it. They had a pretty clean pair of binoculars, so I decided to do a little recon. I looked through the binoculars towards the small town of Ponyville. I could see lots of other ponies walking around, which was a little weird, but I just brushed that thought off. I continued to look, and I saw a gathering around the 3 mares we had been talking to earlier and another older looking pony.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * *

"Everypony, calm down! Calm down!" Mayor Mare was having some difficulties keep everypony under control. "I understand your concern for what happened yesterday, but it appears that these 3 ponies know what happened."

She stepped down from the stand and Applejack went up along with Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash. "Um . . . well, we have a few new 'visitors' that sorta crashed here, and well, they're really nice?"

This definitely did not calm any one down. "Well, we can go get 'em and have 'em talk ta ya'll 'bout what's goin' on." Most of the ponies didn't like the idea of them coming to the town.

"What if they're not as friendly as they say, huh?" The crowd started to agree with the mare.

"Well shoot, here they come right now." They all looked to see a small group of people walking down the road towards the town.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * *

"We got tangos inbound to the city." Alex was looking through the scope of his new found rifle, spotting 7 people walking. He could see their ensembles, they were definitely Russian.

"Kill them."

Alex just nodded. He set up the bi-pod and looked through the scope two of them were lined up perfectly. He squeezed the trigger, while I spotted him. "Two down." the other 4 turned around to see what happened. They didn't know where the bullet came from, so they all jumped for cover behind a few trees.

"Alex, you stay here and cover us while Cole and I go in for some closer kills. He nodded. I ran downstairs grabbed my M16 and Cole grabbed his AK-47 from the Russian I killed earlier. We were out the door and sprinting down the road. One of them poked their head out and squeezed off a few rounds. I felt one hit my arm, but I kept running. I dove behind a rock, Cole following my lead. I popped up and fired as many round as I could before having to drop back down. I managed to get someone, his head literally ripping apart, chunks of bone and 'meat' going everywhere. I was pinned down, sticking my head out would mean certain death.

Then I remembered. I grabbed the small spherical item from my vest, pulled the pin. I jumped up threw it and ducked. "GRENADA!"

*BOOM*

I could hear them screaming, it was actually disgusting, when I looked over, one of them had their legs blown off, another lay limp, his head was full of shrapnel with blood oozing out. The other was staring at them, and we made eye contact. I lifted up my rifle and opened fire, causing his head to be torn in half, revealing his brain, and I could even see the inside of his mouth, tongue slithering around. He just fell backwards, collapsing on the ground in a bloody mess. There was one left, but I hadn't seen where he got off to.

Suddenly, I felt someone jump on my back and stick a knife 5 inches away from my spine. I screamed in pain and elbowed him in the face. Cole noticed, and whipped around, shooting him 10 times in the head. His head was ripped open, blood spraying all over the damn place. I was bleeding from my arm and back, and it hurt fucking bad. Cole made a gesture for Alex to come over here. It was just a big fucking mess of blood and gore everywhere. Cole helped me up to my feet, and we slowly walked to the town.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Alex and Cole were almost dragging me into the town, I was lucky I wasn't paralyzed. All the ponies just sat and stared, seeing me covered in blood.

"So, whats with the horses, now?" Alex commented.

Cole had to be the responsible one. "He's hurt, badly. We need someone to help him!"

Pinkie, Rainbow, and Applejack ran over to me. "What happened? We could he hear loud cracks and an explosion."

I finally had the strength to speak. "The damn Russians," It was becoming difficult to breathe. "they were on their way to the town. . .Had to . . .  stop them."

Nurse Redheart ran over to me. "Bring him to the hospital, I may be able to treat him."

Alex spoke up. "By the way, the bloody hell is going on? Why are there talking horses everywhere?"

"We'll explain later, right now, I'm going to die if I don't get some medical treatment, that's what.." He just nodded and Cole and Alex picked me up and carried me to the hospital down the road.

We got to the hospital and Nurse Redheart opened the front door. They carried me down the hallways. I didn't see any other patients, which was probably good. We reached a room on the first floor and they laid me down on the bed.

"You have to pull the bullet pieces out." Cole said. This part was what worried me.

"I'm not a surgeon just a doctor. If we're going to get those pieces out of you, we need someone from Canterlot with a PhD." Oh. Perfect. Who knows how long that could take.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Applejack and the other 2, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie, were waiting outside the hospital room. They hadn't seen the other 3 for a day now, hoping they were alright. "We can't just leave 'em out there, they could be hurt, or worse!"

Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie agreed. "Yea, what if those jerks are out in the forest? We gotta help them."

Pinkie decided to speak up, "We should get one of the hoo-mans to help us look for them! It'd be fun!"

Applejack wasn't sure what to think. She didn't want to go back in that forest with those 'Russians' in there. She sighed. "Well, it's definitely worth a shot." She opened the door to the room where the 3 soldiers were. Michael lay on the bed while Alex and Cole sat in chairs. Nurse Redheart was speaking with Spike, who had managed to sneak into the room.

"Spike, send the letter." Nurse Redheart commanded, worried for the soldier's sake.

"You got it, Nurse!" He inhaled a deep breath, and set the scroll ablaze, letting it drift out the window, and evaporate in the air. "That should pop up in front of the Princess within a minute or so. I hope we have enough time."

Applejack so the human that went by the name of Cole, standing by the window, asking spike how the letter could be sent, even though it was burned to a crisp.

"Magic." Then he snorted twice. ( Mr. Bean reference =3 ) Cole just looked at him strangely.

"Uh, hey, you." Cole looked over at Applejack. "Our 3 friends are still in the forest, and we really gotta find 'em."

Cole pondered for a minute. "Well, I can't take Micheal he's incapacitated, and Alex will have to stay just in case more of them show up." I should help them, because we basically brought our conflict to this 'Equestria'. It's the only way I can pay them back. "Alright, I'll help, but you'll have to be quiet, if we're outnumbered, we probably won't last long."

The fact that they could rescue their friends made Applejack feel relief. "Thanks, it means a lot ta me."

Just then, a letter popped up, and fell into Spike's hand. "Got the letter!" He unrolled it. "Ahem! 'Dear Spike, I wish I had been told sooner, but that can't be changed now. Me and my sister are planned to show up with a licensed surgeon for your friend as soon as possible, possibly within 3 hours from now. I understand your concern for Twilight and the others, but we'll have to wait until my sister and I arrive, unless one of these 'humans' can help. Sincerely, Princess Celestia.'"

"Well, we should probably look before night fall." Cole said. He knew there would be soldiers in the forest, but he really owed these creatures.

"Let's go."
