It was a hard to keep herself focus on the shield she puts on over Canterlot, capital city of Equestria. Princess Starveil, Princess of the Stars and adopted daughter of Princess Luna, felt overwhelmed, as if she can`t hold out much longer, and she grew exhausted. She struggles to fight back evil force of Calamitatis, a monster threatens Griffonstone and Equestria`s annihilation.

"I...I can`t...Hold on a bit...Longer!" Starveil pants, as she fell onto her knees, and she kept her hands up to prevent the shield from collapsing. Despite her losing strength, she`s determined to hold the shield up, and felt sweat drips from her head. She gathers a bit more strength to push back.

But it wasn`t enough, the shield began to deteriorate, and a puff of magical dust flows through the crack, and forms a silhouette figure of Calamitatis, standing next to Starveil with a evil grin.

"Calamitatis!" Starveil grins with horror, as she looks at him and he laughes evilly.

Calamitatis smiles, "Well, Princess! It seems that you have ran out of time!" Starveil turns her hand towards him to blast him with her magic, but it did not have any effect, as the monster responds with his raised hand that opens a portal next to the Star Princess, causing it to suck her in.

"So long, Princess weakling!" Calamitatis snarls, as Starveil tries to get away from the portal. But it was too late, Starveil lost all her strength, and got sucked into the portal.

"Noooooo!" Starveil screams, as she disappeared from the portal.

"Hey, Rodger!"

The human, Rodger Wilson, turns to his friend who walks up to him and shook his hand to congratulate him for winning the highest military prize, Medal of Honor.

Despite the fact that Rodger Wilson has mild autism, he overcame the obstacles while enlisting in the US Air Force as a fighter pilot of the F-22A Raptor and A-10 Warthog, and he fought along side with Russia and NATO`s ally, Turkey, on fighting against terrorism in Africa. He previously served for the war against terror network, ISIL/ISIS. Afterwards, they dealt with Boko Harem. So now, terrorism has subsided and Russia and NATO`s relations has been repaired since Ukrainian conflict ended.

"Thank you, Ian!" Rodger nodded, as he smiles to his friend and shacks hands. Rodger then asks hims, "So, what now, buddy?"

"How about we go to the bar, drinks are on me tonight." Ian stated to his friend, as he openly declines the offer. "No thanks! I prefer sometime with my family at the cabin they rent for the weekend. And it`s my Brother`s birthday."

"Aw c`mon, man!" Ian shrugs, "It`s just for tonight, bro! Besides, your Brother`s gonna be there, remember?"

"Oh!" Rodger nods, as he facepalmed himself, realizing that he mentions that earlier. Rodger knows that he still refuses to drink, but he doesn`t want to turn his friend down. So accepted the invitation.

"Okay! I`ll make it!" He sighs, as Ian wraps his arm and gives him a playful knucky, then nods, "That`s what I`m talking about, buddy!"

Rodger then said to him that he`ll be heading back to the air base for a bit to get his stuff and he`ll catch up to him later.

As they parted ways, a strange light came from behind of the buildings, with it was a strange red colored light that appears out of nowhere, and it disappears afterwards. Rodger was curious, wonders what was it, and what happened. But he brushes it off, and heads to the base.

As Starveil falls on the ground, she gets up, and looks around to figure out where she is.

'Where...Am I?' She wonders, as she look around, and begins to realize that she, isn`t home anymore, she got teleported to the other planet.

"Hello!" She calls out if anypony was present, and no pony answered. Starveil got a flashback, as she remembers that she was battling Calamitatis, and he teleporting her from her home, to the unknown place.

She then also remember that the last thing she sees, is her mother, Princess Luna, was being captured, and her friends as well.

As flashback ended, she begins to cry. She knew that she didn`t fight the monster off, and felt that she let everypony down.

"...Mom!" She sobs, as she buries her face into her hands, "I...I`m...S-sorry! I-I didn`t have enough power to-" She got silent, crying her eyes out.

As she got a hold of herself, she heard something as if it was chopping the skies, as it got louder, and Starveil looks up. She sees some type of flying machine, which it appears to be a Mi-24.

'What is this flying object?' She thought, watches it flying over her, and disappears behind the trees. She then got up on her feet, and runs after it, following it where it`s flying too.

Starveil runs through the trees, tries to catch up to where is the flying machine going. But as she got though the forest, she ran into some type of wall, seeing what looks like a fence. On the other side, she saw there was buildings, and a strange tower.

As Starveil tries to figure out what the place is, a roar sounded overhead, a SU-35 jet flew by, and was making a landing. Starveil realizes that it must be a military base.

"I`ll try to find someone to tell me where am I. And I have to warn them as well, if Calamitatis`ll follow me." She said, as she felt something is out there, hunting her down. She uses her magic to teleporting from where she stands, to other side of the fence, and she makes a run for it.

Meanwhile inside the base, Rodger was in his bedroom of the base, changes into casual clothing of his favorite metalcore band Wage War and jeans. He then grabs his wallet and his side arm, a Desert Eagle, and his iPhone 6 with the earbuds. As he checks if he`s missing something, he knows that he got what he needs, and then heads out to meet up with his friends and his Brother.

As he exits the building, he runs into his best friend, and his 'brother figure', Oleg Markov.

"Ay, Oleg! How`re you?!" Rodger nods with a smile and shook hands with him.

"Preevyet, Rodger my friend!" Oleg acknowledged, as he pats his should and asks, "Are you going out with Ian?"

Rodger nods his head and complied, "Sure am, comrade! Are you going as well?"

"Why, yes!" He answered, "My comrades are there as well, and we`re hoping if you could join in!" Oleg walks past Rodger and walks in the building, and tells him that he`s getting his stuff.

"If you want," Rodger said to him, "You want me to wait here for you, buddy?"

"Da! I`ll be right out a minute!" Oleg acknowledges, as he closes the door and heads to his bedroom to get his stuff.
