Commander Twilight Sparkle Personal Log number one-eight-one October 6th, 2037.

Well I’ve finished some training with Mendez and it worked just as planned in that it taught me to control my body faster than anything, though I still failed to beat the bastard in hand to hand combat. It doesn’t make any sense, I am faster and stronger than I’ve ever been and yet the only time I landed a hoof on him was when he was blocking my strikes, and then I told him how impossible that was and he made a crack about being a pretty princess in Equestria.

Honestly what would be a Princess of anyways? Fear? Training? Being a bastard?

Princess Franklin Mendez, Princesses of Being a Bastard!

….Yeah that fits….I’m off topic, where was I?

Oh right, so I think I have adjusted to my new body thanks to Mendez and it was fun tossing the recruits around, defiantly helped me test my speed as they tried to strike me and taught me I need to be very careful when I nearly tore Recruit Chesterton’s arm off, luckily I just severely dislocated it…and tore the ligaments….well the point is his arm will heal after a couple of surgeries and I got to test my passive medical scan in my eyes so that’s a good thing.

*a muffled explosion is heard*

What the fuck was that? Shit that can’t be good.

End Log

Twilight galloped onto a scene of total chaos with a squad of soldiers right behind her, in order to move faster and without fear of falling she switched back to being a quadruped. The scene she saw before her was one of utter confusion as smoke filled the hall accompanied by screams of pain and a medic calling for a backup.

“You lot secure the area, now!” Twilight ordered the soldiers behind her who raised their rifles and moved forward to sweep the area and Twilight spotted one of the recruits she had met during training less than twenty minutes ago. “You go to the infirmary, tell her there is a medical emergency at the armory and to send everyone she can, we got an unknown number of wounded.” She barked at the stunned recruit who failed to move. “MOVE IT!” She yelled at him and he took to his heels as fast as he could.

Twilight turned back to the scene in the hall and waded into the mass of confusion quickly finding an injured soldier under the armory’s steel door, the thing had been blown completely off its hinges from where it was, had ricocheted off the wall and into the solder. Twilight quickly used her magic to lifted the door off the soldier and toss it to the side.

The soldier looked up at her. Dull eyes, still has life in them, shell shocked.” Twilights mind told her as she looked over the soldier’s body, her eyes started to list of injuries as it found them. Six broken ribs severe fracture to the femur, three broke fingers, and possible concussion. Twilight added the information as she saw it to her mental list as she double checked for injuries at the same time she pulled a med-kit from her storage locker and began to administer first aid starting with a mild painkiller to somewhat dull the soldiers agony.
“Relax.” She told them soothingly. “I’m here to help. Can you tell me your name?”

“C-Corporal Hart ma’am.” Twilight nodded. “Alright corporal can you tell me what the day is?”

“It’s…um….I think it’s Tuesday…..no no it’s Saturday….maybe Monday...” The soldier stammered out. “What was the question again?”
Definitely a concussion. “Relax you are going to be ok.” Twilight said and heard boots running up behind her and looked back to see two squads of medics descending on the scene. She waved one over and told them what was wrong with the soldier before she stood and made her way deeper into the confusion, thankfully the smoke had cleared significantly now.

She over saw the medics moving to help the injured before she reached where the black had entered the hallway, the armory doorway.
She took a deep breath before stepping around the corner to the smell of smoke with an underlying smell she had been hoping wouldn’t be there, burnt flesh. The room was a total disaster with the walls, floor and ceiling scorched black leading back to one side of the room where the remains of an armored crate sat warped and dented from the blast that had took place on top of it.

There were two other weapons crates that had fared better with only a few severe dents from being thrown across the room, most likely they had been further from the blast. The Cage was a mess, the bars closes to the blast completely missing and the rest of them warped and bent but it seemed it held enough to absorb the worst of the blast, protecting the guns locked inside.Even still Twilight could tell from the door the guns on the weapons rack closest to the blast were total losses as was the weapons rack they were trapped it as it had cocooned around them as it was torn from the wall, if they were lucky they could salvage some parts from them.

As her eyes swept the destroyed tables of the room, the blacked walls they fell on what she had hoped wouldn’t be there. Across the room from the Cage and besides the training targets stood two soldiers, rifles lowered at their feet was a charged and blacked body in a severely burned uniform that was fused to the flesh

Moving silently as if sound was not welcomed in the room Twilight made her way over to the two soldiers not looking at the body. “Report.”
“We swept the room ma’am, couldn’t find any sign of secondary devices though we are waiting for Hell Raisers to arrive to investigate the surviving crate.”

Twilight nodded, “Thank you, go and help out in the hallway, they need all the able bodies they can get.”

“Ma’am I think we should stay here in case something—“

“It's fine, I’ll secure the room, you two go.” She said adding a bit of steel to her voice as she stared at them flatly for not obeying the order. They nodded and moved for the door as Twilight watched them go.

Once the soldiers disappeared through the door Twilight turned her attention to the body on the floor, her eyes telling her they were in fact deceased as if it was obvious. She started at the body for a few minutes before she knelt beside it and carefully began to pull what remained of the uniform from around the next, blocking out the sound of the skin crunching like charcoal and ignored the smell of burnt meat as best as she could while keeping her stomach contents where they should be.

After a while and a final tug she exposed what little skin remained under the fabric, a quick look over she spotted the two bits of steel embedded in the skin, with a small tug of magic the dog tags came free and she lifted them up to eye level brushing away the burnt flesh enough to read it.

Sergeant Malcolm Dupo

She dropped the tags and looked at the body of the rebel armory officer and back at the crates, he mind already forming a mental image of what happened as Dupo began to check the crates. Moving to the third one and unlocking it only for it to explode the second he lifted the lid with enough force to propel him across the room and tear the steel door off its hinged and send it ricocheting down the tunnel. She theorized the crate had probably been packed with plastic explosives on a trip wire attached to the lid.

She looked back to what remain of sergeant Dupo and sat beside the body, the other two soldiers had swept the room so there wasn’t much she really needed to do to secure the room besides just remain there till Hell Raiser arrived to do an in depth sweep, and so she sat beside the body of her friend in silence.

She wasn’t aware of how long she sat till Hell Raisers arrived but when they did she stood up and slipped Dupo’s dog tags into a pocket on her armor and made her way over to the. “The room had a general sweep that found nothing, but I want you to check the other crates for secondary devices.” She told them and they nodded and moved to the crates that had been flung against the wall while one moved to where the bomb had detonated.

Twilight watched them work and only have the medic that entered a wave towards Dupo’s body. She didn’t pay any attention as the body was removed as her mind was focused on figuring what happened. She watched the demolitions squad clear each crate of other explosives and move onto the rest of the room just in case, once they were sure there were no other hidden bombs they moved to piece together what happened.

Twilight sat the entire time in the middle of the room as they worked out of the way and not saying a word so they could do their job without interruption. She saw out of the corner of her eye a squad of soldier post up outside the door and assumed the injured had been moved to the infirmary to be dealt with.

One of Hell Raiser was piece the weapons crate back together as best as he could, a large number of parts were either missing or twisted in such a way they barely looked like they came from a crate. He had managed to get the bottom of the crate assembled when something caught his eye. “Ma’am, I think this is something you will want to see.”

Twilight made her way over and looked at what the soldier pointed at on the bottom of the crate. There, stamped into the metal, small enough so one would miss it unless actually looking at the crate was the image of a rabbit staring back at the view and even though it was on a blacked metal Twilight know it was meant to have white fur. White Rabbit had signed his work once more.

“Carry on here, if you need something ask one of the soldiers outside.” She told the demolitions soldier who nodded. Twilight turned and headed for the door, they had squads still on mission so she was going to go and check on them, at least that was what she was going to tell the commander staff, in actuality she was going hunting for the only group of soldiers that would know anything she needed and they would tell her what she wanted to know.

Twilight Sparkle teleported from rooftop to rooftop, she had thought about where her prey would most likely be and while it didn’t work for White Rabbit, his men were still soldiers, which meant they did have somewhat predictable pattern. As such she was able to narrow it down to the most likely of places they may be. The fact they didn’t exist helped as it meant they wouldn’t be with regular soldiers.

The first four places Twilight had checked had proved to be wrong which is why she now found herself in an older part of the city searching for the type of building that she would use and she soon found it in an old condemned hotel, from the looks of it the neighborhood was in the middle of being torn down so there were only a few builds left standing with the hotel being the tallest at five stories.

Twilight teleported to the fire escape that ran up the side of the build and carefully made her way into the dark interior. As quietly as she could on the refuse strewn floor Twilight made her way deeper into the building, her ears constantly swiveling for the smallest of sounds to indicate occupation, there was none, which told her she was in the right place as the last two abandoned buildings she had checked had had homeless humans living in the. The fact an easily accessible hotel had signs of habitation but no actual inhabitants despite the late hour told her something kept them away.

Silently she searched the building till she eventually saw a small crack of light in one of the halls and when she approached she saw it was a small bit of light coming from under a door to a room. Carefully she approached and she could hear the faint hum of equipment and boot steps on the other side.

She wasn’t entirely sure how many were on the other side but this was most likely a staging area of sorts so there wouldn’t be many of them but that didn’t matter to the mare. She couldn’t help smiling as she readied her SMG, she didn’t have any other guns besides her sidearm, Mossberg and the SMG as the armory was on lockdown since the blast, as such she also had very limited ammo she shed need to make her shots count.

She position herself in front of the door and took a deep breath a moment before she used a magical blast to send the door flying inward as she rushed in behind it. Almost imminently her SMG was ripped from her magical grasp and a larger, slightly curved blade collided with it and they both sailed across the room.

Twilight barely had time to register the black armored soldier to her left as they drew another one of the knife from behind their back before she had to duck as a baton was swiping for her head. Instinctively twilight rolled and came to her hooves long enough to see the two Black Op soldiers, one armed with two of the curved blades while another wielded a baton that had a small bit of electricity dancing across it, Twilight was very familiar with stun batons though she did not dwell on where she had come in repeated contact with them.

Twilight barely registered the two soldier before the one with the blades lunged forward with such speed the unicorn only dodged the slash by a hairs breath before having to dodge a second, then a third as she was slowly pushed back, damn this guy was fast.

Twilight didn’t have any time to think as the soldier slashed at her trying to sink his blades into her armor or take her head off, she just had to let her body react which was all fine and good till her flank me the wall of the room and the black on went in for the kill.

Twilight barley switched to being bipedal and stood up causing the blade meant for her neck to sink into the floor, the soldier looked up in time for Twilight to kick him square in the face and send him stumbling back, leaving behind his blade.

Twilight pushed herself off the wall but had only taken a single step before she had to raise forelegs to blocked the stun baton, she yelled as her metal legs carried the electricity to where they connected causing them to burn like fire but it didn’t cause the stun effect as it would have had the baton struck flesh.

Twilight grab the soldiers wrist and twisted to try and break it but the black armored soldier moved with the action preventing serious injury even if it did put him out of range to attack with his baton.

Twilight used the opportunity to draw her sidearm and aim at the off balance soldier but before she could pull the trigger the blade wielding soldier was there delivering a swift kick to the barrel of the gun causing Twilight’s shot to go into the ceiling. Before she could recover she had to drop to the floor to avoid another slash aimed at her neck. From her position on her back she delivered a buck to the blade soldier’s stomach driving the air from his lung and sending him stumbling back once more.

She then had to roll to avoid the baton soldier from stomping her face in. She rolled to her hooves and yanked her head back to avoid getting the side of her head bashed from the baton. She quickly lit her horn and aimed a magical blast at the baton soldier but before she executed the spell the soldier dropped to the ground and swept her legs out from under her, causing the spell to strike the all.

Twilight put her hooves up and heard the clang of steel on steel as the blade soldier’s knife struck her legs. She quickly teleported across the room and got to her hooves to see the blade soldier draw another blade from the sheaths on his lower back and the baton soldier drew a second baton as well.

This wasn’t good, Twilight was just barely staying ahead of these soldiers strikes and they didn’t even seem winded. The two soldiers advanced on the unicorn mare intent on ending her life and she moved to meet them, choosing to go on the offensive rather than stay defensive where she was losing as her blades extended.

They met in the middle of the room as Twilight blocked the blade soldier’s slash while aiming her second blade at the baton wielding soldier’s heart. The baton soldier turning his body just in time to cause Twilight blade to glance of his armor and he used the opportunity to stroke her outstretched limb with the baton deliver a shock once more and Twilight grit her teeth through before parrying the blade soldiers knife away from her, with the soldier slightly off balance Twilight did the one thing she could, she head butted the soldier as hard as she could in the chest staggering him a bit while she slashed at the baton soldier who jumped back.

It got them away from her but created a problem of Twilight now being in-between the two Black Op soldiers which was far from an idle place to be when fighting two soldiers bent on ending your life. Before Twilight could move to correct this though the two soldiered launched for the attack and Twilight was desperately trying to fend off while not sure which soldier to look at and just reacting without thinking.

As she blocked the coming attacks she came up with a desperate plan to give her some breathing room and blocked the next attacks from the soldiers and with her magic undid her helmet, and with a s much force as her telekinesis spell could muster sent it smashing into the baton soldier face causing him to stumble back across the floor and crashing into the wall.

Now with some breathing room she turned to face the blade soldier and blocked one of his blades while sending her another for his heart which he blocked with his second blade as well. They stood there locked in a struggle to get their blades to reach their target before both of them jumped back half a step with the same idea as both of them lunged forward to stab the other, at the last second Twilight twisted her body to the side, this had the effect of causing her attack to miss while allowing the blades soldier knife to bury itself into the chest of the baton wielding soldier that had moved to attack Twilight from behind.

The blade soldier quickly withdrew his knife and the baton soldier dropped to the floor bleeding out as both his heart and lung had been pierced. The blade soldier didn’t dwell on it as he launched into another attack on mare but now that Twilight wasn’t fighting two soldiers she was able to think more and while she was still even with this soldier in blade combat she also had her magic still and now able to focus more than half a second she used it.

As the soldiers lunged to slash at her Twilight horn flared and she suddenly had the blade soldiers discarded knives beside her. The soldier recognized his disadvantage and broke of his attack and jumped back. He didn’t try to flee and Twilight would just cut him down behind, instead he raised his curved blade and got into a defensive stance, Twilight had to admit, his resolve to end her was impressive.

Twilight along with the two extra blade launched forward and as she stabbed with her hoof blades she slashed with the other two knives, much to her surprise the Black Op soldier either dodged or blocked her attacks and the room echoed with the ring of blade on blade as Twilight fought the lone soldier and he blocked or parried her attacks.

Still despite his skill he was slowly being pushed back into a corner and when the unicorn mare saw her opportunity she took it, sending one of his blade done and stabbing through his booted foot and into the floor be nether it, effectively nailing him to the floor.
The soldier only gave a small grunt of pain and even with his movement now sorely limited he still managed to block sever attack before twilight sent the other blade through his other foot pinning him completely in place.

Twilight pressed the small distraction the pain caused to withdraw her blade back into her hooves as she brought them down onto the soldier’s wrist, hearing the sickening pop as they broke causing the soldier to drop his blade. Twilight quickly kicked the blade away before stepping back to catch her breath.

“Holy fuck you two nearly had me there.” She said between pants, the soldier did not respond, he merely stood there arms at his side. “Oh don’t be like that, you two did very well, I honestly surprised I won that. “She said and the soldier just grunted behind his helmet’s face shield.

Once Twilight had caught her breath she looked at the soldier. “Anyways down the business, you have some information I need.” She said as she cast a spell wrapping the room in a silence enchantment. “And I know, I know you won’t just tell me so we will skip all of that and just move on to the part where I make you tell me.” Twilight said as she drew her combat knife and readied some other spell, for his part the Black Op soldier just stood there and waited for what was to come.

Twilight galloped into the intelligence section of the rebel base, a team of hacker behind her, it had taken almost four hours to get the Black op to divulge anything as he spent most of his time either not saying anything or trying to kill himself, though Twilight had managed to keep him alive till she got what she wanted then she ended the soldier herself.

While the soldier didn’t know where or who White Rabbit was as he just knew his master by his codename he did tell Twilight of a common practice of Intelligence Officers, and that was why Twilight galloped back to base and grabbed up some hackers before going to the intelligence section of the base.

“Ma’am what’s going on?” The Lieutenant asked rising from her desk to salute.

“Our systems have been compromised!” She said and pointed at the computers as she looked at the hackers. “Find it.” She told them and the hackers nodded and started hooking up their portable computers to the intelligence sections computer before plunging deep into the sea of ones and zeros while the rest of the soldier sin the room looked on in confusion.

“Compromised? What do you mean?” The officer in charge asked.

Twilight took a moment to catch her breath before speaking. “IT’s how White Rabbit has been able to ambush us, he’s hacked out systems and planted program that will let him see everything on our computers, allowing him to manipulate our Intel and be one step ahead of us all the time.” She told the officer who blinked as she absorbed the information before cursing and turning to watch the hackers.

The intelligence room was quiet as everyone quietly stood off to the side to allow the hackers to search for what did not belong. It felt like an eternity before one of the hacker did a fist pump. “HA! Found it!” He proclaimed.

Twilight was at his side in an instant. “What’s it doing?”

“Nothing, it’s only active when the computer it’s connected to is actively using it.” The hacker replied looking over the random code.
“You mean this program only responds to a single computer? That seems rather stupid.” Twilight said worrying this was another trap.
The hacker shook his head. “Not really, it's hidden very well, if not for the fact we knew it was there we never would have found it and being connected to a single computer means less chance of it being accidentally activated by someone else.”

“Can you trace it back to the computer?” Twilight asked hopefully.

The hacker nodded, “Yeah shouldn’t be too hard as it has a direct link to it.” The hacker said and began to type while Twilight hovered over his shoulder watching the humans finger dance across the keyboard. After about forty minutes the hacker spoke again. “Look like the computer is inside the Federal Press building.” He said as he typed. “And it looks like the computer is being used.” He typed some more. “And it has a webcam.”

“Activate it; I want to see this son of a bitch.” Twilight ordered and a few key stroke and the rooms main screen came to life and showed the image of a human in his mid-thirties with short brown hair, wearing business jacket and button up shirt with no tie and the top button undone.

“Holy shit.” One of the intelligence soldiers said and twilight looked at him. “That Mark Erikson the reporter that writes the big articles about the Federal Army and us.” The soldier said and Twilight looked back at Mark Erikson, the White Rabbit.

The human on the screen paused in his typing and tilted his head to the side slight before his demeanor changed from one of typing while board to stoic professionalism she fixed the button on his shirt and typed something on his computer. “Well well, if it seems you finally found my little program Commander, I am impressed.” He said without the distorted voice. Twilight glared at the screen, that was White Rabbit alright, no question about it. “I must admit, you found me faster then I had planned but it is no matter, it was going to happen sooner or later and frankly I’m glad you did so I can get out of this god awful post. I hate posing as a reporter.”

White Rabbit sighed. “Anyways I’m going to assure you I am not going to try to run, I have a job to do after all so I shall wait here while you come up with whatever plan you are going to use. But I will warn you I will be getting ready as well so don’t expect this to be simple Commander.” White Rabbit smirked. “It has been an interesting game we have played, and I am looking forward to meeting face to face Commander. See you very soon.” With that White Rabbit typed on his computer and the screen went black.

“He shut off his computer and from the looks of it unplugged it; there is no way to get the picture back.” The hacker said.
“That’s fine, we have everything we need.” She turned towards the door as she switched to bipedal so she could use her radio. “This is Commander Twilight Sparkle to all PFDR forces, gear up, we have confirmation on the identity and location White Rabbit and we are taking that bastard down once and for all.”
