Previous Chapter Next Chapter

In the next day, after Twilight got home after the school day, she changed clothes with casual clothes with her dark purple jacket. She brings in her military backpack that contains her uniform, kevlar vest, ammo and grenades, and a rifle bag for the modified Custom G36 with grenade launcher, muzzle brake, and a bayonet. She then headed to the garage and tied up those bags on the back of the military quad bike, then she wears the helmet from the quad bike for safety. She said goodbye to Spike first before she drove off from her home and headed to the police station. She maybe drives fast, but for sure she tries not to get caught by the police for breaking the law.

After three minutes of driving, she reached and entered the police station. She parked the quad bike at the motorcycle parking lot before she turned it off and gets her feet on the ground. She puts the helmet on the front side of the quad and untied her bags on the bag. She then lifted her backpack on her back and held the bag rifle before she is heading for the entrance of the station.

Once she entered the station, the scenery of the offices in the station was rather, crowded. Some citizens talking to the officers behind the desk, some of the officers picked their phones and talked to the callers, some of the officers are running around the station in a hurry, and some of them talking to each other in importance. It was really crowded until it were only a couple of officers noticed her presence. While crowded, Twilight walked around through the offices but then she got asked by an officer along the way, police woman.

The policewoman's name was Deputy Copper. Her skin was purple greyish, her hair was orange with one line of light orange color as there is a bun of hair behind her head, and her eyes were dark green. She was wearing the blue cap for the police officers and her sunglasses still in her pocket of the shirt. There was also a gold police badge on her right side of her shirt. More than that, she doesn't feel suspicious about her military backpack, except for the bag that Twilight holding on her hand, she doesn't know if that was a bag rifle. Though Copper eyed at the bag Twilight's holding without giving a suspicious sight.

"Can I help you?" the policewoman asked firmly.

"I need to meet with Sergeant Officer Kurt Marshall, we have a meeting," Twilight replied in a calm tone.

"Okay, this way," the policewoman then leaded her until they both reached Marshall's office.

Copper knocked the door and said loudly. "Marshall, there's someone here wants to meet you."

"Come in," Kurt Marshall replied from inside, soon the deputy and Twilight entered his office.

Marshall was standing at his desk, looking into his files on the table. Marshall then looked at Twilight after they both walked in. Kurt felt glad that she was able to meet him.

"Morning, Corporal, glad you come."

The deputy then surprised after he called Twilight with that rank. "Excuse me? Corporal?"

Twilight then looked over at the deputy. "Yeah, Corporal."

"Deputy Copper, this is Corporal Twilight, Twilight, this is Copper," he said quickly.

Copper then shakes hands with Twilight whilst asking. "So, we got another police officer from somewhere else to help us?"

They all silent for a second until Twilight spoke. "Well, I'm not a cop."

"Eh?" Copper shocked and confused. "What are you, FBI?"

"A soldier," Kurt said, he paused for a moment. "A US Ranger."

"A what?" Copper then quickly looked over at Twilight with a grinning smile and chuckle. "A girl? That's impossible Sarge."

Twilight sighed then looked over to her. "I know you felt suspicious about the bag I'm holding here."

Copper then widen her eye for not expecting that coming. "How did you know?"

"Did you think i won't notice your eye was darting to this bag?" Twilight said in a little angry tone.

Sergeant Kurt shook his head when he's still watching those both talk, he then asked Twilight. "What's in the bag?"

Twilight kept staring at Copper whilst saying what's in the bag. " Custom G36 with grenade launcher, muzzle brake, and a bayonet. Good enough for a firefight and close combat."

Copper still standing in dumbfounded, while Kurt just nodded his head with a little smile. "And what's in the backpack?"

Twilight then looked over at him as she folds her arms. "My own equipment and uniforms, plus ammo and grenades."

Kurt was pretty impressed to see that she is fully equipped like that. "Well that's a good thing then, because we think we're going to have a heavy firefight. By the way, did your Colonel agreed that you will help me out?"

"Don't worry, he is okay with that kind of stuff. He just want to make sure that I'm still alive on that."

"Good, then we are settled."

Suddenly, an officer opened the door and leaned into the office. He looked over at Marshall with an important look.

"Sarge, the briefing is about to start."

"Alright, Twilight, Copper, let's go."

The three of them followed the officer to take them to the briefing room. Once they entered the briefing room, they can see there are a lot of police officers in the room. And there is a man, presumably the captain of the law enforcement with his LT. The captain has pale orange skin, black hair covered with his police cap but his mustache was white, and blue eyes. He maybe a little old, but he has sturdy body.

The Lieutenant has yellow-greyish skin, brown hair with side part style, and magenta eyes. He sure looks as sturdy as Big Mac than the Captain. His face is oval. And he seems to be a humorous type person.
The LT and the Captain saw them came in and they both walked over to them to greet them.

"Hello, Sergeant, Copper," the captain greeted, but then he noticed the purple skinned girl that he wasn't expecting. "Who is she?"

"Well, that's Twilight, Captain," Sergeant Kurt replied. "That girl I have told you about."

"Oh," the Captain replied. "I though she will be more equipped than this."

"Everything I have are in these bags, Captain," Twilight replied in cold.

"Huh?" the police Lieutenant didn't understand why she bother to do that. "What's with the fuss like that?"

Both Twilight and Kurt went silent, but then Kurt answered his question. "She has friends out there, but she doesn't want to let her friends know that..... well.... to see what she is now."

"Afraid that your friends know you're a soldier?" Captain asked, his police LT was surprised to hear that, they didn't tell him anything about her.

"Yes, sir," she answered with a nod.

"Hmm..." The Captain though for a moment. "Alright then."

"So?" Twilight lifted her shoulders and dropped. "You need help on something?"

"Sure, we are," The Captain and Twilight then shook their hands together. "My name's Captain Rhodes."

Twilight then shook her hand with the LT. "Lieutenant Cobbler, ma'am."

"Alright, when we start?" Twilight asked with a little fake enthusiast

"Come," Rhodes said, implying to them to join him for briefing.

"Everyone please sit down at your place!" Cobbler shouted, ordering the police officers to sit down at their places.

There are officers of man and woman in the room. There were also a few members of FBI's SWAT forces sat along with them. Twilight was in front of them with the Captain and LT, with Kurt and Copper. There was another women next to Rhodes, he was the Head Officer of the FBI. Her name was Officer Marley Oakland. Her face matches Cloudy's face but her hair has a hairstyle of angled bob and colored dark blue like Luna's and her skin is white-yellowish with her eyes are cyan.

Marley looked to her left, when she noticed the purple haired and skinned girl she quickly asked to Rhodes.

"Who is she?"

"That's Twilight, she's going to help us with the raid," Rhodes replied with a raise tone.

Marley doubt with that until she just said a huff. Twilight put down her bags next to the podium stand and Captain Rhodes then stand at the podium. After a few seconds, he spoke at them.

"Alright, evening officers," he greeted, he then quickly spoke to the point. "As you know we are about to do a raid on busting up the drug cartel operation."

Then the LCD projector turned on from behind the sitting officers and showed the images of the drug cartel operations. After a few images of the drug cartel and explanatory of Rhodes, the LCD then showed the image of the main target of the raid operation. A man who has a messy wavy brown hair and a mark of beard. his face was a little square-shape. And he gave an evil and serious look from his yellow eyes.

"This man is Latin Sphere. Our main target of this raid, we are ordered to captured him alive to deal with this drug trafficking."

Then, it's Marley's turn to talk and the image shows a huge abandoned warehouses somewhere in the city. "This the location of our raid operation. 2 huge warehouses with an open field between them with a couple of facilities around those warehouses. Our agents said there are pretty a lot of hostile activity in there so we need to be careful out there. So we're going in loud and quick, like our previous drug bust. Enemies with good weapons and stuff."

Then it's Lt. Cobbler's turn to talk. "After cleared the warehouses and captured the main target, we have secure the drugs and find any information we can get with this case."

Then Cobbler turned around at Kurt implying to him that it's his turn.
"And we like to pronounce a special guest, to assist us with the raid," Kurt then turned his head at Twilight, pointing at her. "That's Twilight Sparkle, she is specialized in this kind of situation so she will be able to assist with us."

The officers laugh at Twilight, disbelieve that a girl can help them with the raid. Kurt, Cobbler and Rhodes just shook her head while Copper just stared at Twilight in a little pity. Head Officer Marley just chuckled with that statement. Twilight only sighed at that.

"How can you deal with a lot of those criminals, girl?" an officer asked from his seat jokingly, they laughed again.

Twilight was rather starting to get impatient with that. "Alright then."

Kurt then tried to comfort Twilight to stay calm. "Don't listen to them, Twilight. They just don't know it yet."

"You're right about it," Twilight replied in cold.

"Alright, people!" the Captain shouted as he clapped at the same time. "we're rolling out in 30 minutes! Get changed!"

After all officers and FBI members left the briefing room, Twilight headed to the girls changing room of the station. After she entered, she can sees there are some policewomans changing their clothes into combat equipments. Soon, Copper entered the room and watched that Twilight being laughed at by the other policewomans. Twilight puts down her bags on the floor and began unzipping it. She then reminded on something.

"Officer Copper?" Twilight called.

"Yeah?"

"Do you have any black hair dye?" Twilight asked.

"Hold on a moment," Copper did wonder why she want that but then she decided not to ask about it. Copper quickly checked her locker to look for one, after she found it, she gave it to Twilight. "Here you go."

"Thanks," Twilight said in glad.

Copper then go to her locker to get changed. As Copper about to get changed, a policewoman come over to Twilight to jokingly mock her.

"You gonna need a bulletproof vest, girl," the policewoman said. "You don't want to get shot right?"

"No need thanks," Twilight replied in deny.

"Oh really?" the other policewomans laughed at her after her reply. "What you gonna wear if you're going to raid them? Just a regular clothes like that?"

Twilight just stayed silent ignoring her question. She then pulled out her desert-camo military uniform and military vest. The policewomans were surprised if she had something like that. Twilight then started changing her clothes with her uniform and kevlar on as the policewoman who tried to mock her watched her changing in amaze. After Twilight wears them, she replaced her glasses with the modified military glasses optics and putted her helmet beside her. She then unzipped her bag rifle, to the policewoman's surprise, Twilight pulled out her custom G36 and inspect and load the weapon, nearly made all the policewomans in there scared.

She then holster her rifle on her back and putted her casual clothes back in the backpack. She then wears the military gloves and stores her ammunitions on her kevlar, including frags and flashbangs. The policewoman that was still next to her snapped herself out and walked over to her get changed. Twilight then holstered her M9 pistol on her belt and holstered her knife on her left shoulder. She then used the black hair dye cream to change her natural purple-colored hair to black for a temporary time, water can wipe away the black color.

After that, She wears on her desert mask around her neck that would covering from her chin to nose and checked on the last equipment she need. She did brought another backpack in her bag, and it contains the equipment she needs and primarily breaching charge. After she's done changing, she's waiting for the other policewoman to finish changing. While waiting she wears the helmet and locked it tight and then add the patch of US Rangers and America flag on her right shoulder. Then Deputy Copper, who is already on her vest, come over to Twilight.

"Wow," Copper said impressed. "You sure are pretty prepared for it."

"Yep," Twilight replied with a nod.

"Let's go meet up with Kurt," Copper said as she patted Twilight's shoulder.

"Okay, let's go."

Copper and Twilight went out the room and headed to the garage of the police car. While they were still on the way, the officers who were busy in their office began to gain attention at Twilight who is in her soldier equipment with Copper. After they both reached the garage, they can see there are other officers waiting for the rest of the officers for the raid near their police cars and trucks. Kurt, Cobbler, Rhodes, and Marley were talking to each other near the SWAT's armored truck. When they saw Copper and Twilight come over them, they were surprised and amazed as they looked at Twilight in a fully soldier's uniform, except for Kurt of course.

"What the hell am I seeing here?!" Marley asked in disbelieve.

"Forgive me if I forgot to say one more thing," Kurt added in chuckle. "She's also a soldier."

Cobbler and Rhodes did know about this so they weren't surprised about it, except the part where she will wears her own uniform. "So, how's your squad working out for ya?" Cobbler asked jokingly, the Captain and the Sergeant laughed a little.

"Hey, Twilight, why your hair is black?" Kurt asked in wonder.

"Well, what do you think?" Twilight asked back, but then Kurt understands why.

"Oh, okay then."

After waiting for the rest to come over, they all get in their cars and trucks. Kurt and Copper is sitting together in Kurt's Cruiser police car, Captain Rhodes and Lt. Cobbler ride on the Chevrolet Suburban police car with 2 or 3 other officers, while Twilight was appointed to get in the in the back of the black SWAT truck with Marley and with the other 4 members of SWAT team. Everyone rode out from the station and currently heading to the designated location. As they were still driving about halfway to that location, everyone prepped up their gears. Twilight was adding some protectors on her elbows and knees while the other SWAT members and Head Officer Marley checking their weapons. After that, Twilight leaned her back to the wall of the truck whilst holding her G36 on her hands. The silence filled the atmosphere except for the sound of the truck roaming on the road. Then the silence broke by Marley.

"So how's life to be a soldier?" she asked.

"Damn rough," Twilight replied in a stern tone.

"Sure it is rough, comparing with us SWATs." a woman officer in front of her said, in a raise tone.

"What about the salary?" a man officer next to her asked.

"Not bad to be honest," Twilight replied. "But much higher than SWAT's salary."

"Really?" Marley asked then shook her head with a chuckle. "What about doing the missions?"

Twilight then shrugged. "I don't know, but they said I'm the best at it."

Everyone in the truck laughed a little at that comment. "Oh, really?" a man officer besides Marley asked.

"What's your nickname?" Marley asked as she still laughed.

Twilight felt deadpanned after she asked that, she gave a blank stare at her. "Excuse me?"

Marley shakes her head with a smile when she asked back again. "What's your nickname?"

Twilight then looked down at the ground, but then she lifted her head while her eyes looking at all the officers around her. "The Boogeywoman."

That nickname rings a bell to every officers in the truck, they quickly fell silent after they heard that.

"The Boogeywoman?" Marley asked. "Isn't that name was taken at the crime scene back in Ruby Star's Restaurant?"

"Yeah, a woman claimed her name was the Boogeywoman." But then the officer in woman front of Twilight then stare at her in a feeling of joke. "You're bluffing, right?"

"No, I'm not," Twilight replied with a tone of anger.

"Really?" Marley then smiles devilish. "How did you got that nickname?"

"For capturing a Taliban leader by myself."

"Bullshit!" the officer next to her shouted. "I don't believe that, got another proof than that?"

Twilight then gone rage by that, she quickly stand up and dropped her G36 and shouted at them. "I'M THAT BOOGEYWOMAN WHO KILLED THOSE GODDAMN ROBBERS YOU GODDAMN BASTARDS!!"

Surprised and shocked by her outburst and true fact, they backed off from her in a little fear. Marley left her jaw opened with the surprising fact that she's the Boogeywoman. When Twilight realized her outburst at them, she simply sighed and sat back to her place. She picked up her G36 from the floor and put it beside her. Though Twilight add a word or two for them.

"Set me off again and you're fucking dead."

But after she said that, all members of SWAT including Marley then gone scared at her whilst they were still pretty silent. Maybe she killed them, but she wasn't a criminal for saving people in the restaurant from those robbers, but if they set her off maybe it would gone much worse, not even an officer dared to aim a weapon at her since she is a highly-experienced soldier. They decided to stay silent and not doing something stupid around her. They all only went quiet along the way to the target location.

5 minutes later

The polices and The SWAT teams have arrived at the target location. They parked all their cars and trucks around the front of the first warehouse. The warehouse has three floors and there are row windows on the second and third. The ground floor simply has a pair door and two windows. After the polices parked their vehicles around it like barricades, the officers and SWATs took cover behind the vehicles and aimed their weapons at the building whilst shouting to the building occupied-drug cartels that they're here.

While Copper, Kurt, Cobbler, and Rhodes were discussing the tactics to raid the building, Marley quickly walked over them in nervous and disbelieve.

"Hey, Kurt!" Marley called.

"Yeah?"

"You did told us she was a soldier, okay?" Marley asked.

"Uh, yeah."

"Why didn't you tell us that she was the Boogeywoman?"

Her question earned everyone's glare at Kurt. "You pissed her off didn't you?" Kurt asked in disappointment

Marley surprised that he somehow knows that. "Well, yeah we did."

Copper, Cobbler, and Rhodes gave a confused stare at Kurt. Kurt then spoke. "Well, she wants me to not tell you about it, so yeah. But I didn't expect you pissed her off like that until she told you she was that Boogeywoman."

"Why did you even bring her here if you know she's the Boogeywoman?" Copper asked in wonder and angry.

"She's a soldier and she really wants to help us law enforcements!" Kurt replied with nearly a shout. "What did you expect? I invite her here to fuck every single one of you?"

"Enough!" Captain Rhodes shouted in annoyance. "I'm okay with this as long as that Boogeywoman willing to help us. She didn't do anything except for saving people in the restaurant."

"Don't worry about that," Kurt said to him. "She's always willing to help us."

"Unless?" Cobbler asked for confirmation.

"Unless, you set her off."

That is something that Marley and Copper would remind themselves, because they know what will happen.

"What happened if we set her off?" Cobbler asked, but he didn't get any reply

The reason why he was staying quiet along with Marley and Copper because they were staring at Twilight, who is right behind Cobbler and Rhodes. They both turned around and surprised to see her presence. But then Twilight answered Cobbler's question.

"The next thing that's gonna happen after you set me off is a pencil on your skull, or more fortunate, your bones broken. Besides, I'm still a Corporal but they said I'm a rare kind of soldier to find."

If such girl like her can do something like that then they prefer to not set her off.

"Then I go with the 'don't set off' then," Marley said as she points her finger at Twilight in worry, ironically knowing that she's the Head Officer, which is a highest rank among FBI.

"So?" Twilight asked, definitely about the raid. "We're going to stand here all day or we raid those cartel bastards?"

They all quickly realized about the situation right now after they snapped themselves out. "Oh, yeah. Girgo! What's the situation?!" Rhodes said as he heading off to handle the officers with Lt. Cobbler.

Before they started the raid, Twilight put on her mask covering her face from chin to nose leaving the eyes with optics open and put on the comms on her ear.

"All right, people get ready to raid that building!" Marley shouted to her men to prepped up for an assault. "Deputy, Corporal, you're both with us."

While Kurt, Cobbler, and Rhodes forming a defensive perimeter around it, Marley, Copper, Twilight, and the other black-clad SWAT team of 6 members already made a line formation and heading to the building with their weapons ready. Not long after walked halfway to the building, a couple of cartel criminals emerged out from the second floor window on the left and firing their rifles at the SWAT team. Their shots hit 2 of the SWAT team members, but luckily they're still alive and they both got hit one time. The polices and the SWATs quickly took their action to shoot them back. Those criminals didn't get shot as they took cover, until they both shot to the head and died, seeing this the polices and the SWATs felt that was too fast to get killed. They then looked back into the halted SWAT group, only to reveal that Twilight was the one who killed them quickly.

"You made it look easy," Copper commented at Twilight as she lowers her pistol.

"It seems my skill never gets rusty," Twilight said back as she still aiming at the second floor on the left.

"Alright, the coast is clear," Marley shouted. "Everyone alright?"

"We both got hit," one of the officer who got shot said. "But we're still fine and not bleeding."

"Alright, we're moving in," Marley ordered.

When they moved out, Twilight suddenly shoot out a grenade from her launcher on the rifle at the door, blasting them. The SWATs nearly startled with that, but they quickly head on to the blown door. They are breaching in and quickly shoot any hostiles ahead with ease. They moved in and took cover behind some heavy duty crates as they avoid the incoming gunfire from the 5 cartels ahead. Copper did peeked out and shot one of them behind a pillar in the chest and died, Marley able to shot another one hiding behind a forklift in the neck, but they still can't get a good shot on the last three. Twilight then decided to ran out to the open and charged them, leaving the rest behind in a amazement.

"What the hell is she doing?" Marley asked with a shout, noting this is the first time she sees something like that.

Twilight aimed her firing end of her rifle forward whilst running, eventually she stabbed a man in the neck when he nearly succeeded to aim his rifle at her, she kept him standing after she stabbed him. She quickly pulled out her sidearm with her left hand and quickly shot two of the cartels on her left with two shot each. She putted back the pistol to its holster and pulled out her bayonet of her rifle from the man's neck and dropping him. She then calmly glanced back to the SWATs and Copper who were already approaching her quickly after she killed them.

"How the hell did you do that?" Copper asked in astonishment.

"Skill," she simply replied.

"Alright, enough chit-chat," Marley snorted. "Let's go to the next room."

"Okay, you, Copper, and your team take the room ahead," Twilight ordered. "I'll take the room on the right."

"What?" Marley and an officer SWAT both asked in surprise, though Twilight just quickly left them there and quickly moved up at the door on the right.

Twilight kicked the door open and just shot the man standing in front of her in less than a second. Then she stormed the room and grabbed the criminal's rifle on her left and lifted to the air as she pushed him back and violently riddled him with bullets from her G36. Twilight was out of their sights but the gunshots can still be heard from that room.

"You're fucking kidding me..." Copper can only stared dumbfounded at that room-filled gunshots.

"Yep, let's go folks," Marley shouted as they quickly breached and stormed the next room ahead.

Marley ran behind a pillar for cover as she shoots back at them with her MP5, Copper and the rest of the SWAT members restlessly shoot back at them quickly. There were around 20 of them in there. Copper shot one of them three times and shot another one behind a table at the stomach, killing him. Marley and the SWAT members managed to kill 9 of them already. When they about to take out the last 9 cartels in the nearly open area, a knocked-out cartel from behind those 9 burst out from the door from the room on the right along with Twilight, who kicked the shit out of him. Twilight crouched down above the knocked-out cartel and quickly aimed her rifle and shot those 9 in the backs as fast as lightning. When the SWATs about to shoot back, they quickly surprised and noticed Twilight was standing at the edge of the room, founding out that Twilight already killed the last nine cartels in there.

"You have got to be kidding me...." Marley commented in awe.

"When did she was behind them?" a member of SWAT asked, this time a woman one.

"Like, just now," Copper answered, as they ran out from cover and catch up with Twilight.

"Nice entrance you made," Marley complimented. "So, that room is clear?"

"See it for yourself," Twilight said, pointing her thumb to the opened (broken) door behind her.

Marley and Copper then checked out the room that Twilight just cleared out. The result was very pleasant, counted around 15 criminals died. 10 of them on the floor died by bullets and stabs to the guts and head, 4 of them presumably died by bullets and fell to some crates from the second floor, and one of them stabbed in the neck and was left hanging on a pillar with his own knife.

"You're one crazy soldier," Marley commented as she glanced at the cleared room.

"You know that we're try to capture one of them if possible, right?" Copper asked as she looks back at her.

"I will try if I can," Twilight replied with both hands raised to the right and left of her head, without a smile.

They all then heading out to the next room ahead, there were no enemies around except for crates and narcotic drugs laying around the room. They are moving out until they turned right into the corridor. No enemies were still on sight, but they can heard voices from a distant. Reaching the source of the voices, there was a pair of closed metal door on their left. Marley ordered them to stack up on the door and prepare to breach. Twilight and Marley were between the doors while Copper was right behind Twilight and the rest of them lining up behind them with their weapons ready and loaded.

"Lansey," Marley called him silently. "Mirror behind the door."

"Yes, ma'am," Lansey, who was right behind Marley quickly walked at the door and crouched. He then grabbed the tactical mirror from his back and insert the mirror end under the door and scan the room.

"9 suspects, all rifles," Lansey said. "They are taking cover behind some covers, if we breached, we will be walking into an open area."

"Alright," Marley said, then Lansey quickly get back to his position behind her. "Twilight, your call."

"I'll plant the charge, get ready," Twilight quickly stands in front of the door and pulled out a breaching charge from her back.

It was the same sheet charge back in Afghan, except it was a folded sheet charge, colored brown and it has a smile emoticon on the front of the charge. She then planted it on the middle of the pair doors above the knobs and unfold the charge. He then pulls the rope trigger under the load and quickly walks back to its original position. Twilight gave a fist-clenched gesture and swung it back to tell everyone to step back from the doors planted charge. The charge exploded and blown the doors flying into pieces to inside the room and everyone stormed the room.

Thanks to the loud blast, the suspects who were aiming their weapons at the door got stunned and it made the SWATs, Copper, and Twilight to kill them with ease even if they hiding behind covers. They quickly ran to the covers ahead and ducked. There was a group of hostiles coming from ahead, but then Twilight able to deal with them by firing a grenade from her rifle and hit them very hard. They were caught and killed by the blast and flew over to places.

"May I ask, Twilight?" Copper asked.

"Yeah?" Twilight replied.

"How many grenades you have?"

"Quite plenty."

"That's just great," Marley said with a grin.

Marley ordered the SWAT members to go clear the other rooms on the right while Copper, Twilight, and Marley herself handle the room on the left. They three quickly get in, only to get under fire by incoming bullets from their right. They ducked down as they ran to cover. They then tried to shoot them back, until...

"Damn, I'm out of ammo!" Copper shouted in desperate, knowing her M9 pistol is out of ammo .

"Here!" Twilight shouted as she throws a couple of M9 mags at Copper. "Take it!"

Copper quickly reloads her pistol and began to shoot back. They managed to kill 9 of 20 suspects. It was a little harder than before since the room filled with shelves for crates. Nevertheless, they able to handle themselves. Then they able to shoot another 3 in luck, and the hostiles starting to retreat.

"They're on the run! Advance!" Twilight shouted as she shoots back.

As they moved up, Marley contacted Captain Rhodes. "Rhodes! This is Marley! Get your men to clear the second building now!"

"I just did that!" Rhodes replied. "They are currently facing heavy resistance in the field so we can't get our foot to the warehouse, over."

"Roger that, we're on our way."

They three kept advancing as they shoots the running away hostiles. After that the kept moving up to the door where they went through and stack up. As they stack up, Twilight then gave Copper a dropped HK416 and some ammo.

"Take it," Twilight said. "Looks like they didn't give you any good weapons, didn't they?"

"Yeah, except for a pump-action shotgun," Copper replied with a nod.

"I hope you know how to handle that gun," Marley said hopefully, not wanting to have any accidents, Copper then nodded at Marley.

Twilight was standing next to the door with behind her is Marley and Copper is on the right side of the door. Copper cocked her rifle and aimed it at the door. Twilight then holster her G36 in front of her and pulled out a grenade, which Marley assumed that wasn't a flashbang. Twilight kept holding her grenade and looked at Copper.

"Get ready to breach," Twilight said at Copper, Copper nodded back at her.

"That's not a flashbang, right?" Marley asked to Twilight.

"Yes, this is not a flashbang," Twilight answered as she looks at her. "This is a frag grenade."

"Alright."

"Copper, open the door on my mark," Twilight said as she puts her finger on the pin of the grenade, Copper holds the door knob, ready to open. "3.... 2..... 1!"

Copper immediately opened the door and Twilight pulled the pin and threw it inside. Copper closed the door and stepped back from the door. The pineapple (Grenade's term) blew up from the inside of the room and somehow the blast made the closed door flew away from the room. The three of them quickly stormed the room and took down any surviving hostiles that try to shoot back. 8 KIAs are counted and they three ran up to the end of the room. They entered the next room on the right, only to got meet up with Marley's SWAT team.

"How are you doing people?" Marley asked to her team.

"We're doing fine here," Lansey replied. "But Penny got hit on her arm."

"Let me take a look on it," Twilight then walked over to Penny, one of the SWAT member, to check her wound on the arm.

She took a look carefully on her arm. "So?" Penny asked in concern.

"Your arm's going to be fine," Twilight then pulled out a bandage. "Let me patch you up."

Twilight did a quick job bandaging her arm, and Penny was pretty glad for that. "T-thanks."

"When did you suddenly become a combat medic?" Marley asked in slight confuse.

Twilight then stared at her in odd feeling. "I am an expert field medic, ma'am."

"What?!" Copper and Marley both surprised with that. "Well, at least we got someone to kept us alive here."

There were still some loud gunfires from the outside of the warehouse they are currently in, it was pretty long than they though it would be. Then there was a distress call in their comms.

"Marley!" Kurt called her via radio. "You still there? Over."

"This is Marley, What the hell is going on out there, Kurt?"

"We're getting pinned down here!" Kurt exclaimed in panic. "We are in the open field between the warehouse, we are encountering a lot of suspects gunning at us, requesting backup, NOW!"

"Roger that we're on our way," Marley then reloaded her MP5. "Hang tight."

"Let's go help them," Copper said, nodding her head towards the corridor up ahead.

At the open field, Kurt with Cobbler and Rhodes along with the rest of the officers are being gunned down by a lot of hostiles ahead of them. Their rapid fire left the officers took cover for a long time and having a little time to shoot them back. Though, Kurt and Cobbler managed to kill 4 of them with their pistols while Rhodes quick-shot 3 of them with his Remington shotgun. They then ducked down again because they are under attack by a machine-gunner suspect standing behind a car. They did tried to shoot the machine-gunner but they can't take the shot, for now the machine-gunner has shot five officers on site.

"Damn, I'm too old for this shit!" Rhodes complained with resentment. "We're going to lose some officers out there!"

"Where the hell is Marley and Twilight?!" Cobbler asked with a shout towards Kurt.

"How the hell I know?!" Kurt replied in irritated, they then quickly ducked his head from incoming gunfire hitting their cover which is a small wall. "They'll be here that's for sure!"

His words came true, the hostiles ahead quickly shot down from the SWAT team showing up from their right along with their machine-gunner died. The SWAT team then walked to the covers in front of the police forces position and shoot the remaining hostiles that are still on the field and pushing them back. Twilight with Copper shoot them back with their rifles and did some shared kill on 6 hostiles, while Marley and her team killed around 7 of them. Kurt, Cobbler, and Rhodes with the rest of the officers quickly advance and reached up to Marley and her team, Twilight and Copper.

"Good timing, people!" Cobbler shouted in relieve. "Where the hell were you?"

"What do you think?" Marley asked back in a hint of anger.

"Now, now, we need to get to that second warehouse immediately!" Rhodes said quickly. "We don't want Latin able to get away from here!"

"Yes, sir!" Kurt answered. "I'll get my men there with Marley's team."

"Look out!" Copper shouted, alarming everyone for incoming gunfire from the second building up ahead on the right, from the windows of the second floor and ground floor.

Everyone able to avoid the gunfire, but Twilight did got shot in the left shoulder and fell back.

"Twilight!" Copper quickly pulled her to the cover. "You're okay?"

"Now they just pissing me off!" Twilight quickly get herself up in crouching position and looked towards Rhodes. "Captain! I'm going to the second floor now!"

"What!" Rhodes shouted in confused, but Twilight quickly left them there. "How the hell are you going to the second floor!?"

Twilight ran to the edge of the second warehouse whilst dodging bullets and then she jumped onto a crate and then at the wall. She quickly steadied her balance and ran on the wall horizontally, above the windows. She kept running on the wall whilst shooting back at the enemy with eagle eye accuracy. Rhodes, Kurt, Cobbler, Marley, and Copper were very surprised to see her does that stunt.

They five quickly ducked, and Rhodes spoke in slight confuse. "How the hell did she do that?"

"Now I've seen everything," Copper said in dumbfounded.

"Told you she's a rare soldier to find," Kurt added.

"You know what?" Marley looked towards Cobbler. "Let's push them back!"

Twilight jumped off from the wall and landed on the balcony of the second floor whilst shooting the enemy on the ground level. Twilight then entered the building and move along the corridor of the second floor whilst aiming forward. She stopped at the corner and peeked out to the right corridor, there are 5 and above hostiles still concentrating their fire to the ground floor. She then turned right to the corridor and shoots the enemy ahead in surprise. She kept advancing and kept killing the enemies ahead with ease, ironically didn't get hit by a single bullets in the hallway from enemies fires, though there were no covers except the walls of the hallway. When she is about pass a corridor on the left, she threw a frag on the left corridor and kept moving forward.

As she shot the enemies ahead, the grenade on the left corridor blew up and manage to kill 3 hostiles in that corridor, and one of them flew out the window from that blast. She reloaded her G36 as fast as lightning and began shooting again at the enemies that are popping out from the corner ahead, 4 kills has been counted. She stopped at the corner and left her G36 hanging and pulled out her sidearm. She then heard sound of footsteps slowly to get louder and some shouting. When the enemy about to turn at the corner, Twilight quickly pushed him with her left and hold him with his rifle aiming to his side, trapped in between the chests. She then shot his stomach once then she aimed her pistol passing her stomach and shot two hostiles that nearly pull their trigger at her, both of them got shot once in the stomach then to the head.

The suspect she's still holding is still alive, she then put her firing end of her pistol below his right chin and killed him, leaving blood on the wall behind him. She then turned left to that hallway and moved up. It took her around a minute to clear the second floor, amazingly fast. She then quickly ran down to the ground floor whilst kicking a hostile that just showed in front of her but then she shot him in the head with her G36 when he reached the ground floor after rolling down the stairs. She heard some gunshots on that floor so she try to find the source of the voices. Not even a resistance she encountered, she found the officers and SWAT team cleared out the main large room and able to arrest some of the suspects while the rest of the suspects are dead.

"Hey, Corporal," Kurt called. "The second floor clear?"

"Yes, sir," Twilight said with a nod.

"How the hell you can run on the wall like that?" Cobbler asked with a raise tone.

"A little parkour," Twilight said as she shrugged.

"Right..."

"The ground floor clear?" Twilight asked to them.

"Clear, except for that one over there," Copper said as she pointed to some sort of a bunker or storeroom on their left for Twilight.

The bunker she meant has a pair of metal door in between two ramps that leading to the second floor above that bunker (Not including the second floor that Twilight was in). They all come over there and Lansey checked out the room behind the doors with the tactical mirror. Lansey confirmed that Latin Sphere is in there. But then he tell something else them.

"All of the suspects are aiming at this door," Lansey then looked back at his teammates. "We can circle around to behind them but it will give them much time to runaway."

"So, what's our plan?" Rhodes asked to everyone, clearly not anyone of them had a good idea.

Then a bulb lighted above Twilight's head. "Guys."

"Yeah?" an officer SWAT asked to the calling.

"I got an idea," Twilight said. "Follow me."

They don't know what her idea is, but nevertheless follow her up to the second floor above the bunker. Once they're on the second floor they glanced at Twilight wanting to know her idea.

"Alright, I ask you something," Twilight said as she looked around the second floor above the bunker. "You guys have breaching charges? Raise your hands if you have some."

4 of the SWAT members raised their hands in confirm. "Why you're asking that?"

"Well," Twilight then looked down towards the floor. "We are going to breach through the floors."

Marley, Cobbler, and Rhodes only giving a blank stare while Kurt and Copper looked at each other in agreement, they never had an idea like that. "Okay, but you sure about what you're doing here?" Marley asked in doubt.

"I know what I'm doing here," Twilight replied in sure. "Now tell your men to plant the charges along this floors."

The SWAT members were doubt of her plan, but then Marley able to convinced them. "You heard her, do it."

The 4 SWAT members who had the charges nodded and started to plant their charges along the floors. Rhodes and Cobbler gather up some officers up there while the rest of them waiting at the door below. Marshall, Copper, and Marley cocked their weapons as Twilight planted her last folded sheet charge to the center of the floor. After they set up the charges, they return to their positions to get ready to breach. Twilight quickly pulled the breaching trigger after unfolding it and quickly prepped her weapons.

"Now!" Twilight shouted, implying to the SWAT members to blew the charges.

All charges on the floor blew up and collapsing the floor to inside the bunker, bringing alone everyone on top of it. As they fell inside that bunker, they shoot the hostiles by surprise and managed to kill some and wound some. None of the officers were hurt by gunshots, except from the feel of pain landing on debrises. After they landed, there was him, Latin Sphere. He quickly ran off in fear to the corridor on his right along with his two bodyguards, might be heading to a runaway vehicle.

"He's on the run," Rhodes shouted. "Chase him down!"

The officers and SWAT team including Marley were running after them, only Rhodes, Copper, Cobbler, Kurt, and Twilight who still stay there. Then Twilight turned around facing to the opposite direction of where did the bastard ran away. With that, Copper stopped her from walking away.

"Where are you going, Twilight?" Copper shouted at her. "The target run away right there!"

"I know where he is heading," Twilight said, before she walked out from that bunker and picked up a KSG shotgun dropped on the floor, leaving them behind in confusion.

"What the hell she mean she knows where he is heading?" Cobbler asked quickly.

Kurt looked at both Cobbler and Rhodes, seemingly know the answer. "She means she knows where he is running away."

Latin Sphere and his two bodyguards reached the run-away car and quickly get in. One of his bodyguard drive the car while the other sat in the back, Latin sat next to the driver.

"Hit the gas!" Latin shouted at his driver.

The car drove out and the officers have nearly reached the car and failed to stop it. The car drove out from the warehouse and hit the road. The car quickly turned right and made a screeching sound on the road, then drive straight. The car then turned right to the road on the east side of the warehouse complex. From a distance they can see there was someone in a military clad uniform. That was Twilight in front of them, holding the KSG shotgun with both hands and calmly walked towards the car.

"Is that....?" the driver asked, but then he earned a shout from Latin.

"Ram that SWAT!"

The car then ran much faster at her. When the distance between the car and Twilight was around a halfway, Twilight then stopped walking and started to shoot at car with the shotgun. The car receive incoming buckshot bullets and it managed to make some holes on the windshield and on the front hood. Such incoming buckshot made the driver stunned and quickly turned to the left when the car was 3 meters away from Twilight who was still standing there in calm and no panic and the car crashed to a parked car next to her. After the car crashed, Twilight quickly climbed and stand on top of the front hood and without a sense of mercy, killed the driver with her shotgun through the windshield. Then her aim changed direction to Latin.

"Out from the car!" Twilight shouted. "NOW!"

His other bodyguard on the back and himself stepped out from the car with their hands raised, but then Latin got a grudge on her. "You bi-!"

Twilight quickly killed his last bodyguard behind him, startling him to death and and stopped himself from mocking her.

"Alright, on the ground!" Twilight shouted after she killed his bodyguard, Latin quickly obeyed her order and lie down on the ground with his hands on the back of his head in fear. "Good..."

The officers and SWAT teams quickly ran to Twilight's position from the warehouse and from the road behind her. They were pretty relieved that Latin was in custody by Twilight. Kurt, who was with Copper, Marley, Rhodes, and Cobbler, arrested Latin and stands him up. Twilight then dropped the shotgun to the ground, knowing that she doesn't want that shotgun. Kurt then looked over at Twilight's covered-mask face.

"Good job, soldier," Kurt complimented at her.

"What? A soldier?" Latin asked in heavy surprise.

"Alright, get him out of here," Kurt said to the other officers and soon Latin has been taken away from the location, Kurt then patted on Twilight's shoulder. "That's one hell of a day."

"Yeah, sure is," Twilight replied in consent. "So, back to the station?"

"Yeah, back to the station."

Everyone returned to the police station and are having an R&R in their own workplace. Twilight was having a break with Kurt, Cobbler, Rhodes, Copper, and Marley after she cleaned up her black hair color with water and returned to her natural purple hair, though she still wearing her uniform while her gears are already packed up in her bag. She was drinking her soda in silent while the others drink and chat with each other. Copper notice her silence and walked over to her. She then nudged Twilight's shoulder to snapped her out.

"Anything alright, Twilight?" Copper asked her.

"I'm sorry it's just..." Twilight paused for a moment with a sigh. "I'm worried about myself."

Kurt then walked over to Twilight and Copper, seeing they both having a little on something much troubling. "Is there a trouble?"

"She said she worried about herself," Copper answered to him.

"What do you mean you're worried about yourself?" Kurt then sat down next to Twilight. "You were like doing a good job out there."

"I'm not talking about that," Twilight said quickly. "I'm talking about of myself being a monster."

"Huh?" Copper felt aghast with her comment. "You don't look like a monster to us."

"You just don't see it yet," Twilight then closed her eyes and sighed.

"What do you mean?" Kurt asked in wonder and puzzled as he looked at her sore face.

Twilight then opened her eyes and looked to the ground. "Did Marley tell you why I was called the Boogeywoman in the Army?"

"She said that you capture the Taliban Leader by yourself," Copper said.

"That's half true," Twilight replied. "I did found the Taliban Leader by myself, but I spare him." It kinda surprised the police Sergeant.

"What do you mean you spare him?" But then something dawned on Kurt's mind. "Wait, you actually wanted to kill him?"

Twilight nodded in honest. "I was going to kill him for my revenge."

"What happened?" Copper asked, wanting to know the details.

"Well, he and his men killed my LT," Twilight shook her head in sorrow. "One of my brother in arms."

"And you set out to find and kill him on your own," Kurt disbelieve to this fact. "But his men will shoot you on sight after you found him."

"That's the part where I became the monster," Twilight earned a couple of dumbfounded glares from them both. "I killed them all mercilessly except the Taliban Leader, and I did died. That's why I was called the Boogeywoman."

Twilight did spent the rest of her time in station talking to the officers and SWAT members. Surprisingly, Kurt gave Twilight a KSG shotgun that she dropped back in the raid only saying that she deserves it, she did doubt that wasn't the reason but Kurt doesn't seem want to tell actually why and with sincere accepts the shotgun. Twilight decided to not stay much longer there so she decided to change clothes, receive rewards of money from Cpt. Rhodes, got a little chat with fellow officers about how sorry they are to underestimate her and return home. But before she decided to return home, she drove her ATV to the park in the city of Canterlot. She parked her ATV at the parking lot of the park near Hooves street and took a walk in the park.

She only walked around until she stopped on one spot, at the middle of the park. She turned and looked around her, seeing other people walked in the park, some having picnic and some having a friendly conversation and some, playing with their pets and each other happily. She then dumbfoundedly looked towards the sunset. She then sheepishly smiled at the sight. That sight reminded her on one thing.

"Like the sunset back in Afghanistan."
