Liam came to pick us up after we jumped from the plane.
“Where’s Anthony?” asked Liam.
“He crashed the plane into a mountain” I replied sadly
“Crashed into the side of a mountain? How unoriginal”
I was quite surprised by his response but it was quite funny so I smiled a bit
“Where are the others Liam?” I asked worryingly
“They drove off somewhere trying to get away from the Russians. I would have helped but the Russians brought in some SA-11’s to try shoot me down”
They would have probably been captured or killed by now so I had Liam fly us home. If they were captured then we still had a few days to save them. If they were dead then it wouldn’t matter how long we took. Besides I had no idea where they were so I needed to hope they were captured and taken to a Russian base. That way I could get to the computer lab and find out where they are being held. Rainbow managed to escape and follow Liam here to us.
----------
As soon as we got back to base I had everyone gear up for stealth. I geared up quickly and then instantly signed into the Russian Intelligence site using the log in details given to me by gavriil. Luckily Violet’s virus didn’t spread any further than the base’s hard drives so their battle net was still online and running. Probably not so great for the UN but it meant I could find out where Violet and the rest were being held. After about four minutes I found them being held in a Russian prison camp in Afghanistan. It was built originally to hold Taliban rebels. The Russians hated the Taliban more than America did. The camp was built with torture facilities as it was used to inhumanly torture the rebels. I dare say they were going to use those facilities on my people so there wasn’t any time to waste.

At the chopper everyone was geared up in black camo, MP5’s and silencers with black face paint except...
“Liam? Really? What the fuck man?”. I looked at him really disappointed and surprised.
“What? They wont see it coming!”
“For Fuck’s sake Liam, you can’t do it like that”
“Why not? I'm the Pilot and you don’t have a choice if you want a ride there. U Mad Bro?”
Liam was inside a cardboard box with his AA-12 taped to the side. He had two eye holes in the front and a hand hole by his gun so he can reach out and shoot the trigger. It was fucking ridiculous. We didn’t have time to argue so I just let him keep his stupid box.
“How are you going to fly in that box? It’s not even tall enough of you to stand up, let alone sit in a pilot seat and fly.”
“I’ll just take it off till we get there”
Really? He wasn’t even wearing armour under that box. Just a some black combats and a short sleeved shirt with a troll face on it. I didn’t say anything because there’s no winning an argument with a complete imbecile. It would have been great if this was a movie or a book. I mean if I saw this in a movie or book I would just laugh. Unfortunately this isn’t so I was more concerned with the consequences of having a guy in a small box following me around on a stealth mission.
I gave a big sigh, “Okay Liam.... lets go then”

Off to Afghanistan we went. It only took a few hours to get there. Liam landed about half a mile from the camp where Violet and the others were being held (Lets call it concentration camp for now). We walked all the way there with no encounters with Russians and the base wasn’t very heavily guarded. It was one main, U shaped, structure in the middle with some smaller outlining square ones. The middle definitely had a least twenty different rooms and possibly an underground floor. The outer buildings looked like they could be made up of about four to five rooms each.

Me and the others approached one of the side buildings to use it as cover. We heard tortured screams coming from inside. I climbed up some stack boxes to reach a small window so I could peak inside. Rainbow hovered next to me using her wings. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.
“I'm giving you one more chance. You can make all this stop if you tell me what I want to know”
“I’ll tell you nothing! Go on! Finish this!”
“Ahaha fine by me! I have so many more of you to torture”
More screams could be heard as an axe flew to cut the prisoners arm off. The prisoner was part of Delta Team.
The prisoner slowly started to die from blood loss.
“I’ll find out what I want eventually, for I, am, THE GREAT AND POWERFUL TRIXIE!”
It was Trixie! I couldn’t believe it and nor could Rainbow. Rainbow’s jaw was dropped and her ears fell back. Trixie looked to the Russian guard that was with her.
“Bring me the purple headed one!” she said with anger, “She’ll probably know more anyway” she said, raising her head while walking out.

Rainbow flew up high for some reason but I assured myself she was doing it for good reason. I jumped down from the creates.
“Okay guys we.... ah shit...”
Before me was four Russians with all their weapons pointed at me. This must be why Rainbow flew off. Ryder had already dropped his weapon...
I looked at the guards hopelessly, “I don’t suppose you’ll want to discuss this over milk and cookies?” I looked at them with a guilty smile. They grabbed me and smacked my weapon out of my hand.
“What about the guy in that box” I pointed to Liam in his box.
“Don’t be silly...” Said the guard, “...No one goes on a stealth mission in a box”

They threw me and Ryder into a jail cell with Violet and Edward. They then walked off down the corridor. The jail was just an empty rusted room with one bed and a bucket in the corner. I didn’t want to even look in the bucket. I already knew what it was for. Violet looked fine and Edward had a couple of cuts on his face. Clearly he had resisted before.
“Violet? Edward? You guys okay?”
“Yeah, we’re good. Where’s Rainbow?” asked Violet.
“I dunno. She flew off before the Russians spotted her”
“Okay. You did stop that plane right?”
“Yeah. We stopped it” I said reassuringly.
Giving a sigh of relief she lent back and relaxed against the wall.
More guards approached the cell. One pointed to me, “...Him!”
They came in a grabbed me. I was going to kick their ass but I was curious to see where they would take me.

I was taken into a large dark room. One light in the middle revealed a tilted arm chair with leather restraints. I was strapped to it and blind folded. I then heard the guards walk out and shut the door behind them. It was really cold in here and I couldn’t see a thing.
“Welcome Courage” The sound of Trixie's smug voice sent shivers down my spine. I then heard the sound of hooves walking towards me from behind.
“Who’s better to interrogate than the leader of the pesky team himself?”
“Trixie...” I said accusingly, “...what do you want?”
“Ahaha, what I want?” she said jokingly but then her voice became extremely angry, “You know damn well what I want. I want Rainbow dash!”
I then started speaking sarcastically, “...Aw well you just missed her. If you're quick you might be able to catch her”
She stomped her hoof then whispered loudly in my ear, “Don’t toy with me. I will brake you! Unless you tell me where she is right now, you're going to be in a lot of pain”
“What’s going on Trixie? Are you still mad about what happened with Twilight and the Ursa Minor?”
I could hear her hooves pacing back and forth, “Don’t change the subject. I'm a busy Pony so DON’T waste my time”
“I’ll tell you nothing”
“Fine by me. We’ll have to do this the hard way”
She removed my blind fold with her mouth. Her breath was minty fresh. It smelt good. Seductively good.
“Hehe mmm.... Your breath smells good!” I said playfully, “...What is it?” I said with a giggle.
“It’s anaesthetic. I don’t want you to die too quickly. Unfortunately it makes you very giggly...” she then gave me an evil grin, “...until the pain starts”
A brownish pony then came out of the darkness pushing a medical table towards us. The pony pushed it next to Trixie and then disappeared into the darkness again. The medical table had lots of medical tools set out neatly across it. What she was doing was crazy but she was definitely sane.
“Hmm, what to use... what, to, use...”
A magical blue glow surrounded the scalpel. How did I know she would choose the Scalpel. She floated it by my chest then used it to cut off my armour and shirt.
“Are you going to tell me where Rainbow is?”
“Never...”
“Fine, have it your way”
She then sharply stabbed the scalpel into me and started cutting open my side. The pain was unbearable as the scalpel slowly slit through my skin and flesh.
“I thought your breath was anesthetic!” I yelled in torment.
She laughed and said, “You fool. It does not help with the pain, It just stops you dieing from it”
She then levitated a re-tractor and separated the walls of my cut flesh. I could feel my wound stretching open and even tearing.
“You can make this all stop if you just tell me where Rainbow Dash is”
“...Never”
She laughed and continued with her little ‘Operation’. She started cutting through my muscular tissue in my side slowly cutting her way to my kidney. Blood squirted everywhere, the pain unbearable. She then levitated some tweezers over and gripped my kidney hard. She started tugging on my kidney about to rip it out forcefully.
“Last chance to save your kidney”
I was in so much pain now, “...Fuck... you!”
She then pulled on my kidney and snapped it off. I gave out a cry off pain and my eyes began to water. Blood had splattered all over Trixie’s face.
“Eww, Gross... but necessary...”
I was going into shock from the pain. My vision started to blur. I started to shake and sweat heavily and began to pass out. I tried so hard to stay conscious but my vision continued to darken.
“Do you want me to stop?” she asked lifting her eyebrow.
I remained silent.
She grunted and bucked the medical table sharply across the room then started yelling, “Where is Rainbow Dash! I can make this a whole lot worse for you! Tell me where she is now!”
I remained silent. I was in too much pain to talk. She then slammed her hoof into my freshly cut wound and applied increasing pressure. I flinched from the pain and looked at her hopelessly, my eyes begging for mercy. I either wanted her to stop or just put me out of my misery. Inside I was screaming in pain but I was in too much shock to let the scream out. She pressed harder and harder on my wound. Luckily the Brown Pony pulled her away before she finished me off. As Trixie was pulled away I began to pass out. The shock and the fever finally broke me.

“He’s awake” Whispered Violet loudly.
“What did they do to you? They removed your kidney!” she said touching the badly done stitching on my side.
“It...” I cleared my throat and sat up, trying to fight the pain. “...It was Trixie”
“Trixie?” asked Violet in confusion.
“Trixie. She’s also a Pony; like Rainbow Dash except she isn’t a Pegasus Pony, she’s a Unicorn Pony. Her horn gives her magic abilities. She used her levitation to use the medical tools on me. She tortured me to find out where Rainbow Dash is, but then I passed out. That’s when I woke up here”
“Well you're lucky to...”
We heard more footsteps coming from down the corridor. A Russian general and several guards approached the cell. The general had a eye patch on his left eye and a scar ran under it. He looked pretty young, at least twenty-Eight years old. He wore a forest green and Crimson uniform and a communist commissioners hat.
He lent forward to the cell, “Do you guys speak English? You're English right. You're not the fucking French are you?” He was very casual and quiet.
“Yeah, we’re English” I said with a confused look.
“Oh okay just checking” he said with a smile. He then lent away from the cell again and cleared his throat.
“Right! Trixie was not happy with the results she got from her interrogation...” His voice was now aggressive and demanding. “... She sent me down to try other methods of getting information out of you. Lets put it this way, if you don’t...”
His voice faded out of my mind. I was distracted by the most hopeful yet stupid sight ever. Everyone including the guards were no longer paying attention to the general. A box was crawling behind the general... It was slowly sneaking towards the general. The guards looked so confused. Two of them pointed their weapons and the other two just stood their just completely bewildered by what they were seeing. A box sneaking up on their commanding officer. The General didn’t even notice. The box slowly crawling towards him. We all had confused looks on our faces. A hand then came out of the side hole and grabbed the keys around the generals waist. The jingling of the keys alerted the general. The general looked under his arm.
“Huh? What the Fuck? A box?!? Guards! Seize that box!”
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!” The box gave out a very high pitched scream as it attempted to crawl away.
The guards grabbed the box and under it was Liam. Liam looked up at them with a very creepy smile.
“Oh Hi Guys!” Liam said cheerfully.

The guards opened the door and threw Liam in. As they did I grabbed one of them and threw him against the wall. One went to shoot me but I dashed over to him and wrapped my arm around his arm with my back to him then elbowed him in the stomach. I then snatched the weapon off him and fired at the other two guards. I then turned round and kicked the winded guard in the face.
I looked at the others, “You guys, Find Delta team, get to the chopper and get ready to leave...”
“What about you?” asked Violet curiously.
“I’ve got somepony to see... Now go! I’ll be out soon”

I came to the exit of the building where two guards stood guarding. I ran up to them before they could react. I punched the first one immediately to knock him back. The second swung his AK to hit me in the back but I span round and grabbed the butt of it with my hand. I then launched it into his face. I threw my leg back to kick the first guard in the crotch then grabbed the second by the throat to pin him to the wall. He pulled out a knife to stab me but I grabbed his wrist and slammed it to the wall. He kneed me in the stomach then proceeded to try stab me again but I ducked under his attack then ran to tackle him. He fell to the the floor and I punch him in the stomach, twisted his arm then elbowed him in the face. The first guard kicked me in the back, knocking me on my stomach. I looked round and saw him swinging his knife towards me. I rolled to the side as the knife stabbed the floor and become stuck. As he tried to pull it out I swiftly kicked him in the chest.
“Sorry fellers but your not good enough to take down Cobra”

I walked out the door to find four guys pointing their weapons at me. I didn’t stop I just jumped towards them in a roll. I landed on the floor; two guards one side and two the other side. One went to punch me so I grabbed his hand and swung him round into the guard behind me. They both fell over and the other two still standing went to shoot me. I jumped high and swung my foot around to kick the first in the face. The second started to fire but I ducked under the bullets and back handed his rifle out of his hand. I then grabbed the sides of his arms then head butted him, knocking him out cold. The other two got back up and tried to attack me again. They went to punch me again and I strafed out the way again.
“Will you guys ever learn? Punching doesn’t work on me Retards”
I then jumped up and kicked one in the face. I then landed rolling under the other one’s legs. As he tried to turn I got up, grabbed his pistol from his holster and fired it into his chest point blank. I turned to see the last guy swinging to stab me with his knife. He was already half way through swinging and I couldn't react fast enough.
“Hi-ya!”
Rainbow Dash flew in kicking the guy in the head from the side. She knocked him out cold.
“Nice one Rainbow”
“Thanks. I am pretty Awesome aren't I?”
“C’mon. Lets go have a talk with Trixie”

We sprinted to the middle U shaped building kicking, punching and shooting every Russian we saw. Approaching the main building but many Russians stood in our way.
“You ready Rainbow? Trixie will try to run so we gotta do this quick. Lets sprint this. No stopping”
“Lets do this!” She said giving an evil grin.
We jumped out of cover and ran down the middle of the U shape to the main door. Russians saw us and started firing immediately. We fired back and took many of them out in seconds. We were running through them like it was a training course. We were close to the door now but I ran out of ammo in my clip. Four Russians stood in front of me about twenty feet ahead. I threw the old clip out and chucked a new one in the air. I then jumped in the air and did a cart wheel across the twenty feet distance. Mid air I swung my AK into the new clip and it slipped in nicely. Landing next to the four guards I used the butt of my weapon to knock one over then the barrel of my gun to jab the other. I then turned to shoot the other two. I then continued to the building’s main doors.

Me and Rainbow made it in a fought to the main hall. We sprinted into the main hall but quickly braked to the sight of Trixie standing in the middle.
“Trixie!” Rainbow yelled out in rage.
“Rainbow... I’ve been looking for you”
“Why is that?” Rainbow asked.
“Because I wanted to make sure you didn’t leave this planet ever again. You know too much and I’d hate for you to tell the other Ponies our plan”
“I know too much? but I don’t know anything” said Rainbow in confusion.
“Regardless, you're here and you were snooping around with him too much. I can’t risk you telling the other Ponies”
I butted in, “...Your plan? If your talking about the nukes then you're too late I already stopped it”
Trixie then outburst into an evil laugh, “Did you really think that was our plan? That was something to distract you humans. We have no quarry with you humans. We are just using you.”
“Our? We?” I said confused. “.. who is we?”
Then a very evil, elderly laugh filled the room...
Rainbow looked horrified and her ears dropped, “That laugh, that voice. I’ve heard it before!”
Suddenly a huge poof of purple smoke appeared by Trixie and as the smoke dissipated I couldn’t believe what stood before us.
Me and Rainbow then accusingly said in perfect sync, “...Discord”
