Prologue

For many years, Earth has sunk into a pit of warfare where The New German Empire has control of Eurasia, Africa, and Australia. German forces have crept into North and South America making the war even more hopeless. Research facilities in Antarctica have created a weapon that might bring back hope. A naval fleet has been chosen to use the weapon in battle.

- Dakar, West Coast of Africa, 0900 hours GMT-

“I need a medic!” Screamed 1st Lieutenant Glen Webster. His squad was trapped in the African city quickly being overrun by German soldiers. A tank shell blew up right in front of his squad. They were blown back a few meters into a church. Glen got up first and started dragging his squad mates into better cover and calling for a medic. “Medic!”

“Right here! Lieutenant Chuck Wallis at your service,” Coughed a man running into the church. Glen led him to his men and he quickly started examining them. “Shit this doesn’t look good for them,” The medic proclaimed looking at the injured soldiers. “We need an evac.”

“No shit. My team was waiting for an evac for about an hour. Then we got screwed by a tank. Now my squad is dying and I’m stuck in a hellhole full of Germans.”

“Jesus you whine a lot.”

“Oh shut up and save my men.”

“I can’t.”

“What?”

“I said I can’t, their injuries are too extensive, they’re dead.”

“Oh god… oh god,” He put his left hand over his face to cover up his tears. “I grew up with them, they were the best I could ever get.”

“I’m sorry for your loss man, but we need to get moving. Here are their dog-tags,” Chuck handed Glen the dog-tags and started walking out the door. Glen followed closely behind.

They ran around the city looking for other squads and trying for an evac. Then finally their calls were answered by a Blackhawk pilot telling them to meet him at the harbor for pickup. At the harbor they could see the transport and set off they’re flare. As they neared the chopper loud bang went off and Glen could see Chuck’s body fall to the ground. Men from within the Blackhawk jumped out and started shooting their assault rifles at the buildings behind Glen and yelling.

“Sniper! Get in!”

Glen picked up Chuck and started dragging him towards the Blackhawk. Once inside, he checked the body for vital signs but got nothing, he was dead.

“All’s clear, let’s go!” The men from outside yelled and jumped back in. As Glen was kneeling over the body, a man came over and started speaking to him and patted his left shoulder.

“You did what you could for him. What’s your name soldier?”

“1st Lieutenant Glen Webster, yours?”

“General Gregory Wilson. You got guts Lieutenant. Or should I say Captain?”

“With all due respect sir. I don’t deserve to be Captain.”

“Oh? And why not?”

“I led my team into this city, now they’re all dead because of my miscalculations.”

“Nonsense. This whole operation was miscalculated. You tried to save that man during a firefight even though he was shot in the head. That show’s you do deserve the promotion.”

“Guess there’s no arguing with a general. Where are we headed anyway?”

“I was told to bring survivors to Fleet Whiskey-5. You heard of it?”

“I have. Isn’t this the fleet that was chosen for the super weapon?”

“Yes it is. It is going to Antarctica in a month or so. Do you know the Admiral? Your last name seems familiar.”

“I do know him."

-A small cottage outside the Everfree Forest-

“C’mon you can do this. You got this Dash,” Rainbow Dash was readying herself for doing what she thought would be impossible. “I’m ready. I’m ready,” She started knocking on the door.

The door was answered by a shy, timid, yellow pegasus by the name of Fluttershy. “Oh… um hello Rainbow. What brings you here?”

“Well first off, I want to sincerely thank you for helping me recover from my crash.”

“Oh you are quite welcome. Anything for a friend.”

“That’s another thing F… Fluttershy. I… I wanted to ask you something important.” Dash stuttered.

“What is it?”

“I… I really want to…”

“Yes?”

“What I’m trying to say is I lo… Augh! I can’t say it. I’ll just do this.”

“You’ll just do wh…” Rainbow interrupted her by kissing her causing a deep red blush to appear on both their faces.

“I love you,” Rainbow quickly spoke then turned away, afraid of rejection. What she got though was a pair of forelegs rapping around her and pulling her down. She was now on top of Fluttershy, and she was smiling.

“I love you too,” Her forelegs dragged Dash down onto her as they kissed.
