It's been awhile after what happened yesterday. Twilight still kept her calm and try to forget what did she do yesterday at the restaurant, but no luck for that, it has left a scar in her memory. Nevertheless, she need to focus on her secrecy. There was another reason than self-defense yesterday. She has her own code of battle, in which she keeps muttering to herself over and over again on her way to the cafeteria for lunch time.

"Deploy, Engage, Destroy, Kill, Rescue, Protect, Resist, Evade, Escape, Survive." The only code that will kept herself alive in any situations whether she's on duty or not.

After 5 minutes of walking she reached the cafeteria. She grabbed her lunch from Granny Smith from the lunch counter and sat next to her 6 friends, and apparently, Tennis and Cloudy were sitting to her left while Trixie and Adagio sat across them at Sunset's right. Those four were only kept quiet after she sat with them, they had to disguise their fears by changing their face expressions. Twilight knew they four were very worried when she's been around them, so Twilight only kept silent and focus on eating her food and show to them that she's in good mood, for now. Rainbow, who was between Twilight's and Rarity, looked toward her left and puzzled on why they five were silent.

"Why you guys look so quiet?" asked Dash. "Oh, is it because Twilight sit with us?

They five then glared at her before looked away back on their food. "No, we just thinking with our homework," answered Adagio, in a tone that made Dash convinced.

"Oh, alright," Dash then looked at Pinkie across the table. "Is there any news this lately, Pinkie?"

"Not that i have heard from," said Pinkie. "Only heard Mr. Discord did some chaotic experiment."

"Great," complained Rarity, irritated. "What he's up to now?"

"I don't know," Pinkie shrugged her shoulders. "I just heard that from Ms. Cherilee."

"He did cryo experiment in the chemics lab, but he ended up frozen as an ice statue." Everyone then in dumbfounded looked at Twilight, seeing that she was the only one who knows that. "What? You didn't even think that i know about that?"

"How do you even know he was frozen as an ice statue?" asked Sunset curiously.

"Simple, he mixed too much nitrogen to the chemical liquids and exploded, frozing entirely everything inside that lab and also himself. I see it myself."

"Oh," Fluttershy was surprised about it along with the others. "That explains why we aren't allow to go inside the lab."

"You didn't even try to stop him?" asked AJ in wonder.

"Too late for that, after i opened the door he already mixed it and exploded. I was pretty lucky to quickly closed the door before it explode. After that, i opened the door and....i saw everything was already in solid ice, including him," explained Twilight with giving hand gestures to give the image of the scene.

"Do you know what was that liquid?" asked Adagio, pointing her finger at her.

"Nope, been trying to find it out," replied Twilight, she then folded her arms.

"Huh, alright," said Sunset, understanding that comment.

But then Tennis starting to drumming her fingers on table, the feel of her nervousness was back. "Is everything alright, Tennis?" asked Applejack, who was next to Pinkie, noticed Tennis's agitation.

"Uh oh, it's just, what happened yesterday," said Tennis, startling Cloudy, Trixie, and Adagio, that were hoping none of them will talked about it.

"Tennis!" called Trixie in angry, only to get shushed by Adagio to shut her up.

"What do you mean 'what happened yesterday?'" asked Fluttershy, as she does her so called stare at them, except Twilight.

"uuuhh, well....." Cloudy then turned her eyes to upper right as she pulls the front collar of her shirt, nervously. "I guess it's already on the news."

In the cafeteria, there were a couple of Televisions hanged up on the wall. one of them is placed near where they were eating. It was hanged at the corner of the wall, across the west side of their table and between the windows. It was displaying the news channel of Canterlot News.

"Good afternoon, people of Canterlot city welcome to Canterlot News, i'm Julie Rose and i'll bring you the news today about the so called Boogeywoman. Who saved everyone in Ruby's Star restaurant and killed five robbers in self-defense yesterday afternoon."

"What did she said?" asked Rainbow, though she misheard. "The Boogeywoman?"

"Yeah, The Boogeywoman," replied Twilight, she folded her hands on the table.

Everyone in the cafeteria, including the 11 girls at the corner near the TV, then distracted their attention to the Televisions in the cafeteria after they heard the name Boogeywoman, like some of them ever heard it somewhere. Upon watching at them, the news then change scene to the crime scene of that restaurant. There were cops around the crime scene as some of those cops discussed the crime that happened or looking for clue.

"Yesterday afternoon, at 2 PM, there was a robbery in the restaurant. There were around five man covered in black mask raided the restaurant and aimed their weapons at everyone in the restaurant. But The Boogeywoman was there and and able to stopped the robbery by killing them."

The news then show the records of the cctv in the Television. There was everyone in the restaurant that they don't recognized, then there were those four girls, which their friends were eating there. Everyone in the was surprised to see that Cloudy, Tennis, Trixie, and Adagio were at the restaurant.

"You were at the crime scene?!" asked Sunset, very surprised.

"Yeah," Trixie then points her finger at the TV. "There it goes."

After Trixie said that, the reporter in the TV continued to explain. "The identity of The Boogeywoman is not yet known because none of them know who she is or her face what looks like since she hid it with her hood of her black jacket. The Boogeywoman was said to be aged around high-school age, and her skin was purple. She was ordering a croissant and a cup of coffee before the robbery, until the robbers raided the restaurant and ordered everyone to raised their hand before one of the robbers ordered an employee to give them the money."

Then there was something off with the record of the crime scene, that Boogeywoman did not do what the robbers say except for continuing to enjoy her beverages.

"Really? Is that why she was called as The Boogeywoman?" asked Rarity. "What she's doing is clearly stupid."

"Well, that looks like what would Twilight do," added Dash, they glared at her for a moment for disbelieve. "What? that's true!"

"At least that wasn't Twilight," commented Applejack, shook her head.

They listen the reporter as the record is still playing, until the part where the robber pointing his pistol behind her head. Sunset was drinking a glass water as she watched, but then they watched the Boogeywoman quickly avoided the gunshot and disarm him and hit him back. Until she stabbed the robber and the reporter said.

"She then quickly turned around and stabbed him, killing him with a pencil." At that part, Sunset quickly startled and spat out her drink out from her mouth and it flew and dirtied Fluttershy's shirt. Fluttershy very surprise after that and in haste try to cleaned her shirt from the spills.

"Eww," said Fluttershy, disgusted.

Everyone, except Twilight, Tennis, Cloudy, Adagio, and trixie, was very surprised and dumbfounded, killing someone with a pencil was abnormal. "She killed him with a pencil? What?" asked Rainbow, can't believe on what she saw and heard.

"That's no normal person can do," added Applejack, agreed with Rainbow's question. "Even for a high-schooler."

As they watched, the reporter kept explaining and the records still playing. They saw The Boogeywoman dropped the robber she killed and rushed over to the two robbers on her left side. They saw her stabbed a robber on the knee and then grabbed his gun to throw it at the other robber behind him. She stabbed the robber she wounded on his neck and he died before she used him as a human shield to avoid incoming gunfire. The other robber near her got stabbed in the forehead and died with his eyes open.

"Wow, that's insane!" commented Pinkie. "How did she able to not get shot and killed them with a pencil?"

"I don't know," replied Cloudy. "But for sure, that's no ordinary girl."

At the part The Boogeywoman advanced toward the last 2 gunmen at the other side of the restaurant, Applejack was very impressed on how did she block the gunfire with the human shield until they ran out of ammo. "That ain't gonna hurt."

They saw The Boogeywoman stabbed the two of them in the stomach and managed to kill one by stabbing his back. Upon seeing she is about to kill the last robber, the reporter explained it as the record goes on.

"She dragged the last robber to table where the four girls are still seating and slammed and hold his head on the table. She then quickly killed the men with the pencil by stabbing into inside of his left ear."

"Fuck, that's hurt," complained Dash, horrified to imagine to witness that.

"After she stabbed him in the ear, she left the pencil there and then hit it again, forcing the pencil go deeper inside his head, leaving the eraser end of the pencil outside his ear." At that explanation and scene, everyone screamed in horrified hearing and watching the news.

"Oh my god, that's very sadistic," exclaimed Rarity, she had to looked away from the TV to not see the horror of her killing. Good thing is, the news team were lucky to add some censorship so audience won't be disgusted or horrified.

According to the reporter explanation, after The Boogeywoman killed them, they watched her calmly looked around her, then looked at her bloody hands, and then looked at the four girls in front of her. She then calmly return back to her seat on the front-row seat and finished her coffee. The students were very amazed to watch it with the boss of the restaurant refused to accept her payment, said the reporter that she already done a favor to him. When she's about to leave she was asked by the chef who is she and she did called herself, 'The Boogeywoman'.

"There's no single evidence about the mysterious identity of 'The Boogeywoman'. The law enforcement said that even she left a handful blood on the cup and the door, they can't identify the fingerprints on the blood because it was very blurred and it leave no kind of bloody finger print and the second because the blood wasn't belong to her as well. The local authorities fortunately didn't declare a warrant to find and arrest The Boogeywoman because what she did has saved a lot of lives in the restaurant and stopped the robbery, even if she had to kill them."

Then the camera in the TV changed to the recording of an officer they know, Kurt Marshall.

"We able to identify who are those robbers are, they're the one we've been finding after that robbery at the Gryphanium bank and they have a clear motive about that. But with this 'Boogeywoman' around, we clearly try to find who she is. We still can't confirmed if she's an assassin or a serial-killer or a vigilante. There's no other motive of her for now except for saving the people from those robbers, by peculiarly killing them with a pencil. There's no order to arrest her for her act of self-defense and save many people in there but as i say, we'll find out who is she."

The camera then changed scene to the witness, which are those four girls who were at the restaurant yesterday. Adagio was rubbing her arm near the ambulance, Tennis folded her hands and looked down as she was sitting on the back of the ambulance, Trixie leaned her back to the ambulance, and Cloudy was standing next to Trixie. Everyone in the were shaken that time.

"We watched her killed the last robber right on our table, it was very brutal. We did try to see her face, but we can only see her mouth. We don't who she was or what was she look like. At least, she saved us from them." Adagio then shook her head. "She only looked around the restaurant and continued drink her coffee like nothing was happen, until she exits the place."

As the news goes on until the news changed topic, every student in the cafeteria changed their sights to stare at the four witness that were sitting with the Rainbooms. They were very worried but also glad that they're safe and alive. But now they also worried about this so called 'Boogeywoman', they really don't want to meet with her directly. Everyone then looked away from them and continue to do their activity and talk to each other with the main gossip of 'The Boogeywoman'. Sunset and the other five looked at the witnesses with them except for Twilight, she only continue to eat.

"Do you really can't see her face clearly?" asked Sunset. "You can see it that close."

"Yeah, we mean it," replied Cloudy with a shook. "Her face was clearly hidden with that hood."

"Isn't that Boogeywoman's skin was as purple as Twilight?" asked Pinkie, but then everyone glanced over at Twilight because her skin color was very much the same as The Boogeywoman's. But Twilight only reacted by giving a confused look at them and open both palms in the air in front of her.

"Nah, if her skin was the same that doesn't mean it would be Twilight," added Fluttershy, everyone was convinced with that statement and looked away from Twilight, thinking that's impossible for Twilight to kill someone.

"But, what about the reporter said that she was around the age of a high-schooler?" asked Pinkie in a shout, made everyone in the cafeteria grew worries and concerns.

"Did you mean she is also studying in high school?" asked Rarity firmly.

"I don't know, but we should be glad we didn't meet her," replied Sunset in a medium voice, some of the students heard those comments and they were relaxed a bit, they then continue their activity and probably, spreading the rumor of The Boogeywoman.

"Alright, ah' don't want to hear any of it for now, let's just continue to eat our lunch," said AJ, everyone agreed and didn't talk anything else but eating the food, and ironically didn't even sense of someone lying to her which is much more fortunate to Twilight to hid her secrets.

In the next five minutes, Twilight left them in the cafeteria and headed to the library alone after lunch. While on the way to the library, she met Flash again and he also want to go to the library, they both then continue to went on to the library. When entering, the library was filled with a few students and with Ms. Cherilee guarding the library. Flash picked a literature book and then sat next to Twilight at the round table with computers. Flash opened and putted the book on the table to read it while Twilight used her laptop she brought it on the table.

As Flash reads his book, he took a peek at what Twilight is doing on her laptop. Flash was a little bit surprised that Twilight was working on some sort of military document. Though, she's been handling it pretty good.

"what are those?" asked Flash.

Twilight sighed first. "Military paperwork, Colonel asked me to help him handle that. He'll give me some money for that work. Well of course, if he has any."

"Oh, you've been busy with that yesterday?" asked Flash again, he then read the book again.

"It was a few days ago," replied Twilight in anguish.

Flash then aware that Twilight was sounded sad, he then looked at her. "Worried about your squad aren't you?"

"Yeah," she replied as she finished the last paperwork and informed Col. Marshall via online message. "But i'm also worried of my actions."

"What do you mean?" asked Flash, didn't understand she meant but then something crossed his mind. "Wait, you're The Boogeywoman?"

Twilight turned her head at him, and then slowly nodded at him in honest. Flash of course, was very surprised.

"It's a good thing you didn't stay there after that, and you were also lucky to not get arrested by the police."

Twilight then turned her head at the laptop and looked down. "I'm not sure if that will do any good for me. I had to do what i do."

Flash then turned his head back to his book as Twilight's hands were away from keyboard. After a moment in silence Twilight spoke.

"I had that dream again."

"Hm?" Flash then turned his head facing her. "A nightmare?"

"I think so..."

Flash then turned his whole body at her with his left arm on the table. "Can you tell me what you're dreaming?"

"well....."

Operation Ghostlight (Stealth Mission)
25 May, 0000 hours
Near village of Maluk and Mangal, Ksatta Sang District, Kandahar, Afghanistan.
Cpl. Twilight Sparkle
Squad Bravo 2-7, 1^stBattalion, 75^thRegiment

Corporal Twilight has been sent by US Command to recon the area around Ksatta Sang District to locate and scout out any enemy activity in there, alone. Twilight has been sent to the LZ location in near the mountains of the Ksatta Sang District via Black Hawk and Twilight proceed to move on to the northwest. She can navigates through the night thanks to passing the Pathfinder test for advanced scouting and land navigation, and also to night vision goggles so she can see what's ahead of her in the dark, although she didn't wear her eyeglasses but the soldiers back at COP were pretty lucky to make a NVGs goggles that have been adjusted to Twilight's eyesight size.

Her first objective was to scout out the area for enemy activity around the villages of Maluk and Mangal. The second objective was to infiltrate the enemy territory and stole the Talibans plans and intelligences. She must moved quietly around the area because one loud noise could alerted the nearby hostiles and would chase her down. After those objectives are completed, she needs to go east from the Maluk village about 2 clicks to the outside of mountains area for evacuation via Sea Knight (Boeing Vertol CH-46 Sea Knight).

As she moved on, Command spoke to her via radio.

"Twilight, this is Command, what's your status?"

"Sir, i'm moving up to northwest, sir," she then took a quick look around her, there's nothing else around her. "It's still clear so far and i haven't encountered any enemy resistance, over."

"Roger that, Twilight, keep moving on to the northwest, over."

"Copy that, moving on," Twilight then started to move up ahead with her M21 sniper rifle in her hands. "Command, is there anything that i should be expecting, over?"

"Unknown at this time, Twilight," Command's reply made Twilight feel doubtful to do the mission. "But intel said that the Talibans were transporting weapons on the trucks and only headed to those villages. The intel were unclear since the recon team were out of commission and they somehow blocked our recon networks so we can't risk to send any aircraft to that location until we're sure that area is clear from AAA guns. we don't know if they have any weapons support or technicals. But we do know there will be non-combatants in the area, so check your target."

"Affirmative, sir. I'm moving on now."

In haste, Twilight keep moving up ahead walking and running past some piles of sands and rocks on the way. Twilight was very glad to do the mission at night, it was damn hot for her to do any mission in the afternoon. But more than that, Twilight was a little annoyed that her NVGs were showing the surrounding environments in green-colored light so she decided to remove the NVG left side goggle off the eye, giving a little blurry sight on her left eye because of her myopic eyesight.

"Why i can't see stuff at night with any good color?" she asked to herself, complaining to her goggles.

"What was that, Twilight?" asked Command, she forgot the radio was still on.

"Uh, nothing sir, nothing," she replied quickly and awkwardly. "I'm just.... nearly slipped on a rock."

There was a moment of silent for a little while, but then he spoke. "Oh... alright, continue your mission." Twilight nodded and in awkward keep moving on.

The things she wears and brought to the mission was her desert camo-colored kevlar vest and uniform with her hat, which is actually a black beanie, her horse-tie shape dark purple hair stretching down onto her back. Twilight fairly regretted to brought in a loaded flare-gun instead of colored smoke bomb, which she will used it for evac but would be risking to get attacked by any Taliban reinforcements. The weapons was suppressed M21 sniper rifle, suppressed M4A4 with acog scope on her back and suppressed M9 Berreta, not forget to mention her regular combat knife. She brings a small backpack that filled with tools that would be helpful in the battlefield. Her glasses was in her pocket behind her kevlar vest, just in case if she doesn't need the Night vision goggles, plus a small bag full of C4 for destroying the target and distract the enemy.

She kept moving on until she met with a big sandstone. There was a little white light behind the sandstone and she can heard a sound of an equivocal engine. She quickly crouched down and took cover behind the sandstone to hide, she took off the NVG from her eyes and peek out a little from the rock since there's a light shining ahead. She sees some trucks ahead, there were a couple of those trucks still on along with the headlights, it was around the distance of 100 meters. She then takes off her goggles and wears her glasses and looked through the scope of her rifle, to avoid any unnecessary shot,
she simply moved away her finger from the trigger of the rifle to avoid the trigger being pulled accidentally, like what Ramirez ever said.

Don't put your finger on the trigger if you don't want someone to get shot in the first place

She saw around 4-5 Talibans were standing around the trucks, currently talking to each other. As she watched, Command asked her via radio.

"Twilight, this is Command, have you found anything over?"

"I spotted around 4 to 5 Talibans standing near the trucks, sir," she saw one of the Talibans raised his hand in front of him and dropped it to his sides while their weapons are on one hand each. "They're currently talking to each other, i guess those guys are the patrol."

"Can you see what the trucks look like?" asked Command, Twilight then takes a glance at the trucks behind those Talibans.

"There are 4 trucks, two of them colored green, one of them is red, and one of them is light blue."

"Those are the trucks that the recon team talked about!" exclaimed Command in glad. "We need you to destroy those trucks, Twilight, think you can do it, over?"

"Yes, sir," replied Twilight, she then putted her finger on the trigger as she aimed down the sights. "Am i authorized to engage the target, over?"

"You are authorized to engage any armed personnal, Corporal."

"Roger, with pleasure, sir."

Since she is an expert marksman in sniping, she quickly each of those Talibans one by one from the left to right. All of them got shot through the chest and the two of them on the right nearly reacted to aim their weapon to front but then they died and fell to the ground after getting shot by Twilight. Not even a single loud shot was produced due to her rifle being suppressed and the Talibans didn't have a chance to pull the trigger. After she killed them, she quickly ran over to the trucks ahead and look around at them. Like what Command said, weapons are in the trucks. She quickly crouched and grabbed her small bag from her back and pulled out some C4s. She then planted them on each truck to make sure none of those weapons are still intact. After finished planting the C4s, she putted back the small bag that contains 2 C4s to her back and contacted Command.

"Command, this is Twilight, C4s have been planted onto the trucks, i'm ready to blow it up, over."

"Don't blow it yet, Corporal. Do that later, it'll be useful as a distraction. We need you to continue to the objectives."

"Alright, sir, moving on, over," said Twilight, she then moved away from the trucks and headed northwest to the target area.

"Roger, be careful," said Command before stopped transmitting any word via radio.

She kept sprinting and sometimes walked and crouched a little to looked around for any unexpecting hostiles as she moved. 5-7 minutes later, she spotted the both villages from the distance of 650 yards away. She walked to a high ground on her left and crouched down, she then pulled out her binoculars to look around at the enemy-controlled territory. After inspection through the binocular, she puts it back and hold her rifle again then radioed to Command.

"Command, this is Twilight," she said. "I'm already near the target area, sir. And i'm currently on a high ground to overlook at the enemy-controlled area over."

"Roger that, Twilight," replied command. "Tell us what you see."

"Nothing out from the ordinary, except for a couple of Triple-As on a rooftop and 3 tanks on the road, sir."

"Looks like you got another objective, Corporal."

Twilight suddenly irritated. "Really? I only have two C4s left!"

"Easy, Corporal, we only wanted you to deal with the Triple-As, over," Command's reply has made Twilight to be relieved a bit. "Let us deal with the tanks later."

"Alright then, sir. I'm starting my infiltration now," Twilight then quickly moved down the hill and crouched down.

"Roger that, be careful. Do not alert the enemies."

"Yes sir, Twilight out."

As she crouched, she aimed her rifle at the rooftops of the buildings outside the village and aimed down the sight, the distance was 700 yards. There were around 4 snipers on three rooftops, plus the two teams of anti-air crew, two members each, on the left side of the middle building, those crews guarded by two snipers she's aiming at. Those crews were not manning the guns, instead two of them were sitting at the opposite direction of the snipers and the other two were at one of the Triple-As behind the enemy sniper on the right, they were fixing the Triple-A. Before she goes for those crews, she goes for a couple of snipers on the left of that Anti-Air armed building.

*Pew*

She shot the first sniper on the right building in the head and fell backwards, luckily, the rooftops has walls and it's sizeable enough to hid a corpse and his sniper didn't make a sound. She then slowly turned her rifle to the sniper on the middle building, she's doing a good progress with the sniper didn't see her presence, since they were only using scopes and laser dot. After she aimed the next sniper, she pulled the trigger.

*Pew*

She shot the next one on the middle building, this time straight to the chest, he fell back but his sniper was dropped into the bottom of the building and Twilight quickly worried if it 'accidentally' make a sound. Lucky saved her again to see that the sniper's weapon fell into a bush below and it avoided from the gun to being pulled the trigger by itself, she then sighed in relieved. She the aimed her rifle at the two snipers on the last building with Triple-As, looking for any advantage to took them all out. The building they're on this time doesn't have walls like the last two building she previously clear out before. There was an advantage to kill them with her sniper to make them fall down from the building, but if one didn't it would alert the crews and the territory is under full secure of hostiles. She decided the only way to take them out is by close range, which means infiltrating first, that would be risking herself to get detected and shot by those snipers.

She then moved away from her current position and heading to the village. It merely took her 15 minutes to get to those buildings because she had to creep through the open field quietly and need to hide behind foliage and rocks from getting shot by the enemy snipers. After she reached the outside of the village, she entered an alley that was covered in dark to hide her appearance and movement and continue to walked on, the alley was between the middle building and the right building. At the end of the alley, she nearly walked out from the darky alley after a patrol of two man walked passed the alley. She then peeked out from the alley to look around.

There were around 10-15 hostiles in front of the three buildings, all equipped with AKs except for 3 personnel using RPGs, after a little while one of their tank drive over to them and parked there. She peeked to the left, there was the way to the very left building, is by hiding behind piles of crates and vehicles near those buildings. She hid back to the alley and crouched, then she grabbed her M4A4 and putted the M21 on her back. She wait for a moment for those hostiles to looked away from the alley or they moved away from there. After a minute, she run down to behind the crates, and then run down again to behind the vehicles. After a halfway through in the shadows, at the middle building, a Taliban walked out from inside that building and standing next to the crates where's Twilight is hiding.

Once again, it was a close one, the Taliban standing there while facing to the other Talibans near the tanks at the center of the village, not noticing Twilight hiding in the shadows of the crates. Twilight slowly lower her M4 and pulled out a knife, she then slowly approached the Taliban from his right side. She then rose up from the shadows and quickly stabbed his side of the neck with her left-armed knife hand and closed his mouth strongly to avoid him from screaming. The hostiles didn't notice anything weird as they were talking to each other or they were watching the perimeter at the opposite direction. Twilight then pulled him down to the shadows and hid his body in the bush behind the crates.

She moved again once more with her M4 armed. Another halfway later, she reached the target building and infiltrate it by the front door. The ground floor was oddly clear along with the second floor. When she's in the second floor, some convenience have met her.

"Command, this is Twilight, i found their plans," said Twilight via radio. "I conveniently found them at where they putted those Triple-As on this building."

"Ha! The Talibans really not careful about where they hidden the plans, or probably doesn't care about it," commented Command. "Take those documents and then deal with the Triple-As, Corporal. Didn't expect it would be that easy."

"Yes, sir," Twilight then quickly takes the plans and documents and then she proceed to the roof by stairs. "Heading to rooftop now, over."

"Roger, try to not alert the Talibans."

When reaching the rooftop, she peeked out from the stairs before she act. There were those two snipers ahead, facing at where Twilight did come from, and the Triple-A crews behind her, they are currently talking to each other near the Triple-A on the right and facing at the opposite direction of the snipers. With her M4A4, she took down those snipers and they didn't scream, instead they fell off the roof and landed on bushes. After that, she quickly walked out from the stairs and aimed her rifle at the Anti-Air crew. She shot them each on the back and the last one who nearly turned around in the head, no loud sound were produce.

After that, she inspects those Triple-As and planted her last C4 on those Triple-As in haste and then contacted Command.

"Command, this is Twilight, i got the documents and planted the C4s on the Triple-As, heading to the evac zone now over."

"Roger that, we sending the Sea-Knight to the evac zone, get out from there as quickly as possible, over."

But then Twilight reminded to something. "Copy, uh, Command, do i need to mark my location?"

Command then got surprised and confused why she's asking. "No, Corporal, why the hell do you even ask that?"

"Oh, sorry sir, i'm just asking that because i brought a flare gun here instead of a colored smoke grenade."

"Hm, you're lucky to not bring that."

Twilight then surprised. "Uh, may i ask why?"

"Because the grenades you were having now gone broken, and it smoked up the whole barrack at your COP."

Twilight then felt dumbfounded about it. "Oh, why didn't i hear that soon enough?"

"Alright, get back to the evac zone, we're losing time here."

"Roger on my way."

She putted down her backpack and pulled out a long blue climbing rope, she then putted her backpack on her back and tied the rope on the Triple-A. At the edge of the rooftop, facing to the outskirts of the village, she held on the rope and locked up the draws of her belt onto the rope. She then rappel down the building and left the area, also leaving the rope behind. After a kilometer later, Command contacted her.

"Twilight, this is Command, Sea-Knight soon will reaching the evac zone, are you already there?"

"Not yet, sir," she replied as she stops jogging. "One more click and i'm there."

"Alright, Twilight, blow up the trucks first to distract the enemy away from those Triple-As, we don't want them to know that someone already breached their territory and defused the bomb."

"Affirmative," she then pulled out the detonator. "Fire in the hole."

*BOOOM*

The trucks exploded from a long distant, the Talibans that were stationed at their territory quickly ran out from there and in haste approached the exploded site whilst Twilight then quickly ran away from where is standing. Everything over there starting to get intense. 6 minutes later, she reached the evac zone and found Sea-Knight already landed at the evac zone. There were the US soldiers that were guarding the Sea-Knight to make sure the evac zone was safe. She approached them and one of the soldiers walked over to her.

"You're okay, Corporal?" asked the soldier.

"Yes, sir," she replied. "I'm good to return to base, sir."

"Copy that, alright boys get in the Sea-Knight!"

The soldiers then rushed in the helicopter and Twilight holds the detonator and clicked it one last time.

*BOOOM*

2 clicks away from there, they able to see the Triple-As exploded. For sure, the Talibans will be felt bad with that also with the missing plans and documents they had. After a little while, everyone get aboard the helicopter and then take off to fly away back to the COP. As they were about to fly, the soldier who did talk to her contacted to Command via radio, everyone in that helicopter also heard it.

"Command, this is Sea-Knight 1, we got the Corporal and we're heading home, over."

"Roger that," Command then talked to Twilight. "Twilight, this is Command, nice job kid, you're doing good at this."

"No sweat, sir, just doing my job."

"Alright, everyone return to base and the drinks are on me," but then Command added a little joke. "Of course if Twilight want one."

Everyone in the helicopter except Twilight laughed a little to Command's joke. "Very funny, Command," she said with a chuckle.

"Alright, Command out."

After a while, Twilight sat down next to some soldiers while the others sit down across. Twilight was checking her weapons to make sure they don't jam, especially if she wanted to use them in the battle. The soldier's name next to her was Ssgt. Ockley. He then poked her shoulder and Twilight looked at him.

"How are you doing when you're working with us?"

Twilight then chuckled. "Well, you know how i'm doing."

Ockley then smiled. "Damn sure i do Corporal."

"Is there any news around here, Sarge?"

"Heard what happen in Kabul, Camp Phoenix?"

"Nope, what happened?"

"Well, it's not a good news," he then sighed. "There were some soldiers from a mission barely made it back to that camp alive, there 5 humvees carrying those soldiers. They said that they were under heavy attack by snipers and Infantries,
plus with RPGs around."

Twilight then muted for a moment. "How many died?"

"From a total of 25, 15 of them died."

Twilight then looked down and turned her head forward and frowned. "May they have peace."

Flash heard single piece of her dream, which is a flashback, and smiled. "Sounds like you're doing a good job back there."

"If that's what i think it is."

Flash then shook his head whilst smiling at her before turning his head at the book. Twilight then open a website and searching the condition of the war, news, anything. But then something crossed Twilight's mind.

"Flash, may i ask you something?" she asked in curious.

"Yeah, what do you want to know?"

"Is there something happened yesterday? Anything but The Boogeywoman?"

Flash surprised she asked that, though he heard one. "Well, there was one i heard, and it happened at the northwest side of this school, at the sidewalk across the road. Derpy got robbed when she's going to the shop not far from this school by a men with a gun, she had to give the robber her wallet. After the robber ran away from there, she fled from there. But then she was lucky about her wallet."

"Huh? Why?" asked Twilight in confuse.

"The wallet she was holding was not her wallet, she got that wallet when she was walking a halfway there. She still have her own wallet."

Twilight silent for a while and then turned her head back to her laptop, but then Flash grows concern. "Are you asking me so that you can kill him?"

"Actually, protect would be more fitting."

2 PM, end day of the school time

The school is over but the weather was rather cloudy dark than before, most likely going to rain, not even a single light of the sun shining through it. Everyone in the class packing their bags and walked out from the class. When Trixie nearly finished packing up, she noticed Twilight wasn't around, and she saw that more than Twilight's bag, there was also a guitar bag. Trixie never sees her carrying that thing around. Trixie looked around the class and found out that the class was empty, she then looked at the guitar case and approached it slowly. When near it, she took a quick inspection on the guitar case. Its color was black solid, and what's inside it maybe contains a regular guitar (not the electric and bass one).

Trixie then decided to touch it, she slowly moved her hand and reached it for the guitar case. When she nearly touched it, someone suddenly grabbed her hand from behind, she then being pulled by someone to turn around. To her unexpectation, it was Twilight. However, the clothes she wearing were much different than before. She has a black beanie covering her head, wearing some sort of white winter camo jacket, and black pants. After a little while of silence, Twilight then asked her in angry

"What do you think you're doing?"

"Uuhh, nothing?" Trixie replied in an unconvincing tone.

Twilight then threw Trixie's hand to her own side and looked at her. "Don't touch my bag, alright?"

Trixie only back off from her in scare and nodded. Twilight then looked at her bags and picked them up. When Twilight about to left the class, Trixie watched her until she passed her in a hurry and walked out the class. Trixie was left alone in the class. Trixie then asked to herself.

"What is she up to?"

After Twilight left the class, she quicken up her pace to fast walk through the corridor and passing the students. Some of the students she passed by were wondering why she was in a hurry, but then they forget about what they saw and continue doing their business, what they saw before is not something important for them. A few minutes later, she reached the library. There was no one around the library, not even Ms. Cherilee, so she is safe to access the rooftop of the school. Entering the rooftop, there was a big dome of colorful glasses that made a good view to the library below and grey-colored concrete of floor.

The air was cold with the weather like that, like the same cold air back in Swiss, plus she can feel a breeze of the wind passing her by. When she took a breath and let it out, it produced a small fog of air from her mouth. She then walked over to the edge of the rooftop on the north side of the school (front side of the school), and looked towards the southwest for a quick scout.

it happened at the northwest side of this school, at the sidewalk across the road. Derpy got robbed when she's going to the shop not far from this school by a men with a gun

The place he mentioned was right there, there's the sidewalk on the edge of the school area, across the road and there will be another sidewalk. Like what he said, at the sidewalk across the road. She have calculated the distance, should be around nearly 200 meters. She then crouched down and puts down the guitar bag, she then opens up the bag and pulled out her Mosin-Nagant Sniper that she able to smuggle in her bag. She left the guitar bag on the ground and positioned her sniper on the rooftop walls. She then slowly aimed down the sights, looking through the scope and keeping an eye on the sidewalk, patiently waiting for the prey she's looking for.

At the ground floor, outside the school, Sunset is walking along with her 5 friends to go to Sugarcube Corner. They all wore their jackets they have due to the cold weather. They fasten their pace a little so they can get there before the rain falls. When they were crossing the road on the northwest (which what Twilight keeping an eye on), Fluttershy noticed Sunset's blank thoughtful gaze as she frowned, until they had to stop after crossing the road.

"What's the matter, Sunset?" Fluttershy asked in concern.

"Well," Sunset then shrugged. "Just wondering what Twilight is up to."

"I bet she's been busy with Principal Celestia," Rainbow said as she patted her shoulder. "Who knew? She maybe need a help on something."

"I'm not sure, Dash," Sunset replied. "I don't think Principal Celestia need her help on something."

"Has anyone noticed that Twilight has a new jacket back in the school?" Rarity asked, they were surprised a little as they glanced on Rarity.

"No, we don't," Pinkie replied slowly. "What was she wearing?"

"She was wearing some sort of white-bluish pattern jacket," Rarity answered. "Plus, she was wearing a black beanie."

"Huh?" Applejack never heard she would wore something like that. "Where did you see her?"

"In the restroom before we got out from school," Rarity answered with a bit of excessive expression. "I saw her was staring at the mirror in a blank stare."

"In a blank stare?" Sunset then putted her hand on her chin and looked down. "It must be something that bothering her."

"Can we talk about it later?" Pinkie asked in irritated. "We don't want to talk about this discussion for now."

As they talked, someone popped out from behind Sunset. Fluttershy, Rarity, Dash, and Applejack warned Sunset and Pinkie in afraid, and then they both turned around and got terrified. It was the same robber who robbed Derpy at the sidewalk, now they are his new victims. He was wearing a black mask that covers everything except his eyes, he was wearing a black t-shirt and blue denim jeans. On his hand, is where his pistol aiming at them, with the safety off. There was no one around except themselves at the sidewalk.

"Give me your money!"

Twilight found her prey, but with her friends standing there it would be much more challenging for her. Good thing is, that won't be a problem to her since she's a marksman. As she aimed at the robber, she can see him waving his gun whilst aiming at them to threaten them to give him money.

"Give me your money, girls!" He shouted with a threat.

"No!" Dash shouted, resisting his threat. "You need to get pass me first!"

"Give me what you've got or i gonna shoot you!" he shouted again in much more serious tone.

As those 6 distracts the robber, Twilight has to act quick before it gets worse. She then calculated the distance of the robber and the speed of the wind. She somehow able to stay patient as she calculates and watched what she's seeing through her scope. 5 seconds later, she got the measurements.

"215 meters, -9 knots."

She then adjusted the scope a little. She raised the sniper rifle a little to reached the elevation of 215 meters and moved the rifle to the right until reached up to -9 knots. After that, she then held her breath to make her body stop swaying for a while to avoid the sniper from misfire. All she know is only hearing her heart beating, feeling herself calmed down, getting her focus increased, and her target is in front of her.

As Dash kept distracting him to give her friends behind time to find away to take him down. Apparently they don't know what to do. But then the robber talked.

"On the count of 3, I'm going to shoot you."

"W-wait!" Sunset said quickly, but her sayings ignored by the robber.

"1....2...."

When she Twilight then pulled the trigger, firing a bullet out from her firing end of the rifle.

*Bang*

Suddenly, the robber was shot in the head, startling Sunset and the rest in scared. The robber quickly fell to the floor with his eyes open after got shot, leaving a hole on his forehead while his gun flew off hitting the wall next to him. The blood was pouring out from the men's head and making a pool of blood around him. Fluttershy screamed loudly at that horrifying sight while the others stared in dumbfounded at the corpse, don't know what to say next. Sunset quickly turned around to see who took the shot, but no one she saw was around.

But then, the road starting to crowd up with people after they heard the scream and got terrified after they saw the robber died on the ground. One of them from the crowd soon called the police and ambulance to that site. While Sunset still looking around for someone who killed the robber, but she found no one. But then she reminded about the sound of the weapon. Sounded like it shot from a distance. Sunset then turned around at her friends and glanced at them in dumbfounded, whilst asking one question.

"Who killed him?"

Twilight ducked down after she killed the robber, her shot didn't missed. She then peeked out a little to noticed that the road over there is starting to crowded with people, but Sunset seemingly trying to find the person who killed the robber. But then she sees that Sunset has already given up to finding the person who killed him and go back to her friends. She needs to get out from there sooner or later before the police arrived at the scene. She doesn't have time to hide her rifle, so she picked up her guitar bag and put the safety on the rifle on. What makes the situation much fortunate is the rain has started to fall, the only thing she needs to clean her trails and stay undetected under the mist of rain.

She quickly ran back to the entrance of the roof she came in from and entered. Once she is back inside the library, she still crouched down and try to hide in the shadows as best as she can. Try to avoid to get detected because Ms. Cherilee is already in the library. She was busy cleaning at the round table with the computers, so Twilight can get around her and got out from the library. Now the hardest part is getting through the hallways undetected.

But then she noticed that the hallways are dark, the lights were either turned off or broken. Seeing a good chance, she kept move on and stick to the shadows. She needs to go to the girls changing room to be safe, since there's no one would be around there after the school day is over. As she moved on, she can see there are some of the hallways ahead and to her left were lighted with lights and some are not on the right and ahead beyond the lighted area. But then she decided to take the path ahead before she entered the dark of the hallway again.

She kept moving forward silently until there are a few students coming out from the other end of the hallway on the left. Twilight quickly moved to her right and hide behind the dark gap of the lockers and stay quiet, as her rifle pointing up to the ceiling. When she's hiding in that gap, the students walked passed her and didn't noticed her hiding there, the gap was very dark as black not leaving a hint of one of Twilight's body or rifle. After that, Twilight slowly get out from her hiding and looked back at the students before proceeds to move forward.

After 5 minutes walking around in the hallways, she reached and entered the girls changing room. She then locked the door and quickly sat down on the bench between the lockers. It was pretty quiet inside, meaning it's safe. She then took off her beanie and putted it on the bench next to her. She then sighed as she pulled the bolt of the sniper rifle, making an empty bullet fly out from the bolt. She then cocked the bolt and caught the bullet that was still flying in the air with ease at the same time.

She then slowly puts the empty bullet into her pocket of her white jacket with a feeling of apprehensive. That was the first time she had to kill someone right in front of them, well, at least they only saw the robber died instead including they saw Twilight killed him in front of them. She took a long sigh first, before she continue to unzipped her guitar bag. When she unzipped the bag and held the rifle, in surprise, someone called her.

"Twilight?"

Twilight then stopped moving in startled. Her both hands on her rifle and her hair swaying a little to left and right. Her face is still facing forward but she used her eyes to peeked to her right. And that was Tennis, who called her.

"Shit..." Twilight swore, after she knew she was already detected.

"I-is that...." Tennis was in scare and she was stammered. "A-a rifle?"

Twilight slowly turned her head at her and stared in cold, she was silent for a while but then she answered. "Yes, it is."

"N-n-no..." Tennis then slowly stepped back, she can't believe what she saw from Twilight. "This can't be happening..."

"Tennis, are you there?" the voice was Cloudy's voice, she then soon walked over to Tennis from the left corner followed up by the others. "Hey, you're oka-?" Cloudy then fell silent and dumbfounded after see looked at what Tennis saw along with the other two, Adagio and Trixie.

"Twilight?" Adagio asked in disbelieve. "Where did you get that rifle?"

Twilight was only still silent instead of answering, she seems to be lost to answer anything to them. Twilight only kept staring at them only leaving them puzzled.

"Are... are you a killer?" Trixie asked stammered.

After a moment of silent later, Twilight at last spoke. "I'm not a killer."

"Then why you using a rifle?" Adagio asked in unconvinced. "How did you even smuggle it here?"

Instead of Twilight to answer that, Trixie answered her question. "She used the guitar bag to get it here."

"What?!" Tennis then took a long sigh to calm herself down, before she looked again at Twilight. "Twilight, you better tell us why you did that, you can't keep us from your secrets anymore."

Twilight then darting her eyes down to the floor whilst turning her head facing to the lockers in front of her. In frown, she putted down her rifle next to her and then patted her thighs. She then sighed again, trying to think where to start. She then looked over to her right and huff.

"Give me a moment," she said as she tries to think to start her secrets.

As she thinks, the four of them then slowly approached Twilight and glanced at her for a while. Tennis then sat down next to her left and Dagi sat down next to her right. While Cloudy and Trixie decided to sat down on the floor, leaning their backs against the lockers. They waited for Twilight to say anything, until she said something.

"Well, you see what I did yesterday. I'm sorry if I made you guys scared."

"We know," Tennis accepted her apology along with the other 3 of them. "Can you at least tell us what's been bothering you?"

Twilight only shrugged, and then she sighed again. "I really hate to say this, but, I'm a soldier."

Their eyes were opened wide after they heard her answer. "What?! There's no way you're a soldier!" Cloudy said, not believing her answer.

"Then tell me this, how did i able to kill them back in the restaurant?" the four of them got deadpanned after she asked that.

"Tha-....... oh....." Dagi lose her words to say something.

"Why did you even want to be a soldier?" Tennis asked in curious.

But then the five of them stayed silent, Twilight still not answering. She's still thinking of an answer.

She then sighed. "To protect..... I don't want any of my friends got harmed."

"Do you even had to kill someone to do that?" Tennis asked in upset.

"Yes," Twilight replied quickly as she looked down at the floor with a sigh while the rest widen their eyes open.

Silence went on again, Twilight slowly picked up her rifle and putted it inside the guitar bag and then zipped it up. Tennis and Cloudy stared at each other in concern of Twilight while Adagio and Trixie watched Twilight putted her rifle in the bag. As they silent, something crossed Adagio's mind, a question.

"Do you even know what happen if you die?"

Twilight then felt her body staggered to Dagi's question, the same question that Principal asked. Twilight then turned her head to her right and deeply stared at Adagio's eyes.

"I'm already dead..."

The four quickly backed off their backs in shocked to listen to her answer.

"What?" Trixie asked in gasp, shocked to hear her answer.

Twilight then looked back forward and sighed. "I died twice, am I?"

The four of them nodded their heads implying yes.

"Your first time was when 'The Red Day' happened," Cloudy said.

"I know," Twilight added with hate remembering those days. "I shot myself."

Tennis was curious about what did happen to her. "What happen?"

Twilight quickly shook her head, resisting Tennis's question. "I don't want to talk about it."

"But w-" Cloudy then got cut off by Twilight quickly.

"I said I don't want to talk about it, alright?!" Twilight said with a rage, but then she sighed again to calm her self down. "Sorry."

Surprised by her sudden rage and calm, they went silent again. Twilight then opened up her sleeve of the jacket to check the time on her watch. As she checked the time, Adagio and Tennis can see the scar on her arm, it was a bullet scar. Trixie and Cloudy can barely see the scar on her arm since they only looking at it whilst sitting. Twilight then covers up her arm with the sleeve of the jacket and then patted her knees. As the room still silent, Trixie then asked her again.

"How did you become a soldier?"

Twilight felt hesitate to tell the story about that, she only replied with only 2 words. "Long story."

"Alright...." Trixie said, in awkward of course.

There was nothing for them to say something next, but then Twilight asked them in concern. "Can you.... keep my secrets?"

"Wha- we-?" Cloudy and the others considered her question for a while, after they know that she was asking for a favor.

After considering the favor, Tennis then answers to her. "Alright, we keep your secrets, but after we know what has gotten into your mind."

"You should asked Flash about it," Twilight said in cold. "Tell him that I told you I was a soldier."

"But why you want us to ask him about it?" Adagio asked in a little doubt.

"Because what has gotten in my mind is very personal, something that made me felt angry," Twilight then looked at Adagio's eyes. "Believe me. The only person that can tell you what happened to me is him."

Twilight then quickly stands up and leaved the changing room, leaving the four of them behind. They only watched her left with haste, without saying goodbye. They all then stood up and kept looking at the door where she left through. They then stopped their gazes from the door and looked at each other. Knowing there's nothing left to do but to asked Flash about her secrets tomorrow, they picked up their bags in the changing room and left the school. They did come to the scene where the robber was shot into the head from a distance on the northwest side of the school after Twilight left, but they did not tell Sunset and her friends who were there if Twilight did, instead they just asked what's going on around here and left home afterwards.

Twilight has reached home and unpacked their bags back to its place. For the rifle, she putted it inside the green weapon box and put it somewhere hidden around her house, of course she hid it under her bed while the other weapons she hid it somewhere in the garage. She then took a bath and wears her clothes then sat on the sofa next to Spike watching the TV. At last a relief for herself from those bad things she had to do. With a feeling of tired, she slowly fell into sleep while the TV still on and Spike lays down his head on her left thigh.

It was around 6:30 PM, she was woke up by the sound of the door rang the bell. She then stood up from her sofa and walked toward the front door with Spike beside her. She sighed a little before the touching the door and opened it. She then got surprise by the sight of Officer Kurt Marshall right at her front door.

"Evening, Miss Twilight," he greeted. "I hope I didn't disturb you by that."

"Nah, that's fine, Officer Kurt," Twilight replied in soft tone as she smiled. "Is there anything that i can help you?"

"Well, I might need your help on something," Kurt said in a little high tone. "Since you're The Boogeywoman."

Twilight suddenly frowned after that. "I'm not in trouble am I?"

"No, you're not in trouble," the officer added. "I.... well, we need your help on a takedown."

"Which is?" she asked.

"Which is raiding the criminal's hideout, we gonna need your help because we might be facing heavy resistance, or worse," Officer Kurt then scratched his back of his head. "Do you think you can help us about it?"

Twilight then looked at her dog Spike, Spike did said something. "Come on, Twilight, you're with the good guys, right?

Twilight then smiled a little, she wanted to help the law enforcement about it. "Sure, I like to help the police, when?"

"Tomorrow, around 3 PM at the station," Kurt replied. "I'll be waiting."

"Alright, see you tomorrow then."

"See you tomorrow, Ms. Twilight." Officer Kurt then left her and drove away in his police car.

Twilight then return back inside her house then sat down again next to Spike. She then huff a little as she watch the TV that's still on. Only one thing she needs to make sure before she helped the police.

"Alright, I hope Colonel Marshall is okay with this."
