In the next morning, currently around 8:45 am. Twilight does her little chores at home, knowing that today is a vacation day (apparently not for the Crystal Preps, good thing was they got off from school quickly than they should be). Nothing too special for now. But Twilight's mood was gotten... bitter after a nightmare she had felt last night.

Operation Discount Favela
1130 Hours, 28 May
On the west side of Karz village near Kandahar City on the south, Kandahar, Afghanistan
Cpl. Twilight Sparkle
Squad Bravo 2-7, 1^stBattalion, 75^thRegiment

Twilight was moving out with her squad along with squad Hunter 2-1 following from behind on the road on the right side. Across the road, was the elite police group of 20 Afghan National Police officers led by Cpt. Nassar Harme following up by a squad of 6 men of the Delta Force Squad led by Cpl. Rainbow Wharnel (Since her sergeant was gone sick and declared as combat uneffective). Cpt. Nassar's face was covered in black-white stripe turban and masked his mouth and nose, while having the black kevlar vest and blue greenish uniform with the flag of Afghanistan on the right shoulder. Having AKM as his primary weapon and Colt .45 as the secondary on the hoslter, then knife however was the most excessive and odd one, he brought a fucking sickle on his back (Which Twilight hoped he doesn't come here to butcher someone brutally).

Cpl. Wharnel has the same skin and hair color like Rainbow Dash has, but her hair has a small ponytail hair and the blue color of the hair is dominate the most color of the hair, the rainbow stripe color is exactly on above her forehead to the back of the hair plus the stripe that dominates the blue color on her small ponytail hair. She has a small golden hairpin of star and two curved line under and above the star. Has green eyes and has the character of confident but not as confident as Dash and she doesn't brag like Dash does (Which she believe it will be her downfall.... for awhile). Having a black kevlar vest and desert combat uniform for the duty but not bringing her own helmet except the earpiece radios on her ears. Using the FAL FN as a primary weapon and Fort 12 pistol as a secondary while the knife (correction: tomahawk) was left hanging on her right side of her kevlar.

It was search and destroy mission they were in (if possible, capturing any enemy). The mission was executed due to the chief of the Afghan National Police Force have some intel about the Talibans silent activity in that area. So they were sent there to clear it out, plus if possible, find some intel about their activity. They still kept moving down the roads whilst ordering the civilians on the way to stay away from the road. They were about to reach the intersection until the captain ordered them to stop.

"All officers, stay here and secure this area!" Nassar ordered. "Kalma, Kendas, with me! The rest of you, follow me!"

Via radio, he told them that they're going into hostile territory as they walked through a field on the left side of the intersection which usually where markets are open (Note: they were deployed from the north). Soon, they are entering the alley of that district and kept their eyes peeled mostly on the sky. Twilight's squad (with the exception of herself and Laner, who backed up to Cpl. Wharnel's squad) was the first to take the lead with the captain while Cpl. Wharnel's squad Delta 2-8 was right behind them. Hunter 2-1 on the other hand, entered the next alley from where the captain and the rest of the squads were in, in case for flanking bonus. There were nothing on sight except civilians, so Wharnel decided to have a little chat with Twilight and Laner.

"So, do you think it's going to be bad?" Wharnel asked both of them as they kept watching the perimeter around them.

"Perhaps," Twilight answered. "But my senses are tingling."

"They're watching us are they?" Laner asked in worried.

"Hey!" the captain on the front shouted. "We don't have time to talk for that!"

"Really?" Wharnel complained. "Why would-"

"Shh," Twilight shushed her. "I think I hear something."

"What do you mean?" Laner asked confusedly, since he heard nothing but the sound of the marching squads and a few civilians around.

"Everyone, stop!" Twilight ordered via radio, everyone then stopped marching. "I heard something here, Talibans..."

"Really?" Dolker asked via radio as he and everyone looked around to find the source of the voice while their body froze in place with their weapons aimed forward.

"I don't hear anything," Kalma answered as he looked around.

The only person who managed to find the source of the voice that Twilight heard were only Laner and Wharnel, and a few men from Wharnel's squad.

"I heard it right here, Talibans," one of Wharnel's man answered, before the whole Delta squad, Twilight and Laner turned their gaze towards the wall of the building on their left.

Before they do anything, Wharnel asked Twilight first to make sure if that was the enemy because Twilight understand pashto language. "That was hostile?"

"Yes," Twilight answered with a nod whilst changing their aims towards the wall. "They were preparing their weapons, they know we're here."

It was a moment of silence except of the sounding Talibans from beyond the wall, until Cpt. Nassar made another plan. "I want the Delta squad to breach through the wall and catch up with us for another flanking bonus, the rest of us will continue forward to annoy them a bit until you catch up."

"You heard the captain!" Dolker shouted via radio. "Twilight, Laner! You'll go with the Delta squad!"

"Yes sir!" Both of them answered in the same time.

The captain along with with his two officers and 5 men of squad Bravo 2-7 moved forward leaving Laner and Twilight with the whole Delta Force squad. The Delta squad along with both Rangers were still aiming their weapon at the wall, until Wharnel ordered them to stack up on the wall. After they stack up the wall, they were a bit surprised that they can heard the Talibans on the other side of the wall clearly, and they said they are preparing the RPGs.

"Did I just heard them said RPG?" Wharnel asked to anyone.

"Yep, good thing they didn't know we're on the other side of this wall," One of Wharnel's men answered, who was right behind her.

"Guys, got any charges?" Laner asked everyone with his rifle ready, who was right behind Twilight across the position of Wharnel.

"Well...." Wharnel hummed for a moment, but then she gave a huge grin towards the Rangers, which felt uncomfortable with what is she thinking now. "We have C4s."

Twilight wide her eyes open in dumbfounded of her plan. "You're going to blow up a building aren't you?"

On the other side of that small second floor building, there are the Rangers from Hunter 2-1 but only Pvt. Ramirez, Pvt. Mccord, and Pvt. Wells (who had ordered by Command to assist Hunter 2-1 on the Search And Destroy mission with unknown reason). They were split up from Sgt. Foley and Cpl. Dunn because Foley ordered the three of them to go to the next alleyway while those two take the other alley. Ramirez, Mccord, and Wells was about to get past a building on their right (which they don't know it was Talibans occupied. Until.....

*BOOM*

The blast came from the building from their right, RIGHT before they passed it, leaving big hole on the entrance of that building. The blast made them fall back to the ground in surprise. They soon tried to get up, until they were frightened that there was a Taliban armed with AK on his right hand walked out from the destroyed building limply. When both of the Taliban and the Rangers looked at each other, they quickly aimed their weapon and each other, but then....

*DAR DAR DAR DAR DAR DAR*

The Taliban was shot to death and he fell to the ground, but the three Rangers were surprised that he died before they managed to pull the trigger. After a moment of them being dumbfounded, someone came out from the building again, but they nearly aimed their weapons at the person to found that was Twilight who walked out from the building. Following up one by one, Laner who came out the next and then the whole Delta Force squad from the blasted building walked out after they finished clean up the building.

"I see you both are getting along with Wharnel," Mccord said. "Although we forgot to tell you that Wharnel is actually a demolition psycho."

Everyone then glance over to Wharnel in dumbfounded and seemingly serious. "What?"

"You actually suit in demolition team, you know that?" Twilight asked, before she and everyone else walked forward nearly leave Wharnel behind.

Wharnel then turns toward where they when and then catch up with 'em. "Really guys?"

As they still marched forward with their weapon aimed forward (and some not), Twilight asked to Ramirez. "Where's Foley?"

"He ordered us to split up and want us to take another alley in here," Ramirez answered as he shrugged. "Don't know where the hell he went along with Dunn. Why you take the path through that building anyway?"

"Well, we heard the Talibans hold up there and the police captain told us to go through there and catch up with 'em," Laner answered in high tone.

"Though, that was a scenic entrance," Wells added with a cheer tone.

"You think?" Wharnel asked in disbelieve. "I used C4 on that building and everything on the second floor went torn apart."

"You what?" Mccord asked in surprise. "Don't you just use the breaching charge to get the job done?"

"She never brings breaching charges," Twilight answered, who had talk with Wharnel recently before they reached the location. "Only C4s."

"Twilight..!!!" Wharnel complained, in the way of how Rarity would say. "I though you promised to not tell them that!"

"Oh I'm sorry Lady Wharnel," Twilight shot back with a teasing look. "I just can't hold it much longer..."

"Really Twilight...?" Wharnel complained again, as her men from the Delta Force squad laugh silently at her from behind. "Why you guys laughing at me?"

"Nothing!!" screamed the whole men from the Delta squad, which surprised the Rangers on how the way they response. "Just that time when you handling bombs around!"

"What the hell dude!"

"Oi, Rainbow!" Wells and Ramirez both called. "I hope you brought some C4s for bombing the Talibans up."

"Sure, yeah!" Wharnel replied when suddenly, barrage of bullets quickly passing them all, nearly hitting one of the Delta squad despite the tight spaceIt' of the alley as they quickly took cover behind everything that was in the alley.

"Where the fuck did they come from?!" Wharnel asked in a shout.

"Who the fuck cares?!" Twilight shot back, then she returned fire at the enemies. "Hit 'em hard!"

They quickly fired back at the Talibans ahead furiously as they can be. They managed to kill 5 of the Talibans and they're starting to pull back, which make the soldiers to advance as they fired their weapons at them. Ramirez and wells quickly jumped in the air as high as they can to avoid the incoming bullets toward their legs and landed down with their arms landed the ground first before their legs right behind a small wall brick. A grenade was thrown from a Taliban and landed in between Wharnel and Twilight, and Twilight, in irritation, quickly kicks the grenade away and it flew back towards the same Taliban who threw the grenade and exploded right in front of him, killing him and some of them near him whilst flying in the air before landed to the ground hard. Laner, Mccord, and the rest of Delta squad kept advancing and firing at them and with instinct and awareness try to avoid any bullets that are going to hit them.

They kept advancing until they reached a small area of a market in the middle of that buildings. Civilians were everywhere until they had to watch their fire until the area was cleared from civilians. They still had a hard fight with the Talibans, until they have achieved casualties of 4 injured men from the Delta squad (Which were fortunately got their asses save by Twilight and Laner whom both are medics). Managed to kill 7 of them, only 5 hostiles left in the area. They quickly advanced and took cover behind the cover of market stands whilst shooting back. When Wharnel and Twilight tried to shoot back at them, suddenly all 5 hostiles died by bullets coming in from their right by surprise.

Everyone still aimed their weapons forward plus with a little confusion about where did those bullets coming from. Until two figures emerged from their left. Nearly pulling the trigger, they found out that was Sgt. Foley along with Cpl. Dunn who took them down by surprise (Ramirez, Wells, and Twilight have wondered about where the hell did Dunn got a M60, he brought his M4A1 the last time they came to Kandahar City). They regrouped at the cleared market and briefed for a moment.

"It's good to see you again, Twilight," Foley said with a smile. "I though you and Laner were supposed to be with your squad instead of Delta."

"The police captain ordered us to do so," Laner answered.

"Ain't that suck," Dunn commented, which Foley felt annoyed. "Hey Wharnel! You owe me a $30 debt!"

"Can I give you the money after this?!" Wharnel asked (Which Twilight can tell she was trying to avoid her debt). "We still in a mission!"

"Oh I'm sorry but in Foley's rule, debt must be paid first when we're on a mission," Wells said to her. "The rule is applied to the Rangers and Delta Forces when Foley is around."

"You can't be serious!" Wharnel then looked back to her squad mates, only receive 'eeyup' from her squadmates.

"Just pay his debt, alright?" Twilight tells her (Twilight though still doesn't understand why it really applies also to the Delta Forces despite Foley is a Ranger and his rank is Sergeant, also wondering why his presence would affect the rules right now).

"Ugh, fine!" Wharnel quickly pulled out her $30 money and harshly gave it into Dunn's hand in irritation. "There, debt's paid."

"Thank you, young lady," Dunn said with a smile, Foley chuckled at this.

Suddenly, there were sounds of gunshots from a distance dead ahead. Their heads turned towards the opening gate ahead of them which has a wider space for the Delta and Rangers squad. They all prepped their weapons quickly, producing a lot of *CLACK-CLICK* *SHHK-SHHK* *CLICK*. Before they moved up, Foley told them a plan.

"Listen up, the captain have radioed me and said that they are receiving heavy resistance dead ahead. Twilight, Wharnel, go to that alleyway on the left and try to flank the bastards that are shooting our allies there. The rest of you, move forward!"

They do as he said, Twilight and Wharnel quickly run toward the alleyway that Foley mentioned. They both stacked up at the entrance of the alleyway first to secure it before they went it with their weapons aimed straight. The alley was tight at first, but then surprisingly became a little wider after 10 meters of walking. They both walked as they checked their surroundings, aiming their weapons on their six and twelve, and aiming their weapons at the windows above them. They then turned left at the corner of the alley and passed through an alley tunnel, still no enemies on sight. Wharnel is starting to have an uneasy gut when they realized the sounds of gunshots they heard are faded away a little, but then felt a little joy again after they turned right at the corner. Everything was fine until....

*THWANG*

Wharnel suddenly nearly got shot by a bullet that was hit on the wall next to her on her left. They both quickly ducked their heads and ran forward to hit behind cover of boxes and small wagon. Receiving fire every each of bullets flying over their heads, Twilight had to hold her helmet tight to make sure it didn't fly away if it get hit. They both soon returned fire at the Talibans dead ahead. With their great accuracy, they manage to kill 7 of them from the total of 15 Talibans (From ground and windows). They leaped over their cover and they advanced as they shoot them whilst dodging the bullets in motion.

When they managed to kill 6 of them behind the cover of a market stand and walls, only 2 left dead ahead. But then Wharnel got shot 3 times in the stomach by a Taliban, making her to fell to the ground hard with her back lands first. Twilight killed the bastard who shot Wharnel and hiding behind a wooden table, right in the head, before she quickly looked over to Wharnel.

"You're okay!?" Twilight asked worriedly.

Before Wharnel can respond and try to get up, there was an impending doom running at Twilight "Twilight!! Look out!!"

Twilight snapped out and quickly looked in front of her. The last Taliban was running at her, with a damn scimitar above his head, wanting to strike her with a blow. Twilight raised her signature weapon, Scar-H, and pulled the trigger at him. But the weapon won't firing and she realized one thing.

The goddamn weapon was out of ammo.

With her instinct on action, she quickly dropped her main weapon and leave hanging on her front body and quickly block the Taliban's attack by grabbing his hand-armed-sword by the wrist and hold it there with her left hand. Twilight quickly pulled out her M9 from her holster on the belt with her right hand and quickly aimed from the hip and pulled the trigger to shoot his stomach 3 times, killing him. She quickly pushed him away to let his corpse drop to the ground. After that, Twilight quickly ran over to Wharnel and help her to get up.

"You're okay?" Twilight asked quickly as she get her up by her shoulders and an arm.

"Feels like I got hit by a metal bat," Wharnel responded. "But I'm fine."

As Twilight get her up, suddenly a group of 10 Talibans showed up in front of them and already aimed their weapons at them both. Seeing this, they both don't have any chance to avoid their fire.

"Shit!" Wharnel cursed as they both step back and kept staring at the Talibans. "We're dead!"

"There should be another way to avoid it!" Twilight said to Wharnel in desperate.

"There is no way!!" Wharnel responded in mixed tone of desperation and angry.

As they took their last steps back, the Talibans have pulled the trigger. All Twilight know what is going on around her was only the sounds of weapons firing....

*RATTRATRATTATAT*

and the bullets flying towards them both, before her vision turned white.

Now, all Twilight want after that nightmare, and a little of her chores, she want to take a walk around the town to get some air and calm down her temper. She was now resting on her sofa, then she stands up and picked up her winter camo jacket and wear it. Twilight then walked over to Spike, who is currently sitting down on the sofa with his belly.

"Spike, would you want to have a walk with me?" Twilight asked as she gave a smirk at him.

"Sure, I love walking!" Spike replied cheerily.

"Of course you do," Twilight said as she rubbed his head softly.

They both then venture out the house and decided to headed to the park of the city. It was kind of a relieving walk for Twilight, for Spike however, and fun one. Looking around the park, she surveyed the area as she walked. Everything is just like the same days as before, very peaceful. Just as Twilight thought everything will be fine, there was a screaming of a woman she heard. She quickly looked around her to find the source of the voice.

There she found it, a woman got rob by a thief who have started to ran away with the woman's bag in his hands. Twilight at first wasn't went tensed up or anything. She simply looked down at the ground, looking for something as Spike kept barking at the running thief and telling Twilight to chase him down. Twilight limply crouched down and took an empty glass bottle before standing up straight as she examined the bottle. She then looked towards the running burglar and without any hesitation, throws the bottle as far as she can.

Spike just found out that, Twilight just threw the bottle as far as the burglar's distance was at. Waiting for a few seconds, Twilight and Spike observed in a distance as the bottle came down from the sky and the bottle hit hard on the back of his head. *DAG*. And send him stumble down to the ground face first, knocking him unconscious. The people who watched the burglar tried to ran away were amazed on what the hell just happened to the burglar and all looked up to the sky. And some of them did thought that God maybe had accidentally dropped his empty bottle from the sky, for Spike however didn't expect that Twilight was able to hit him with a thrown bottle from a long distance. None of them know that was Twilight who threw the solid bottle at the thief, Except Spike.

"Bingo," Twilight commented with amusement, though not smiling but only shrugged.

"Wow, you really are an expert marksman," Spike commented in dumbfounded, his eyes went wide.

Soon, the woman who was robbed by the thief run over to the knocked out thief and take back her hand bag and leave in anger. The people who watched the 'humorous scene' back there only awkwardly continue to walk on, ignoring the knocked out thief on the ground, not even bothering to call the police. Twilight and Spike only calmly walked on, passing the unconscious thief without looking at him, as it was uninterested for them now. And the next minutes only went by peacefully.

After a moment of a walk in the park, they rested at a bench near the dirt path on their right. Spike hopped on the bench and sat down whilst Twilight sat down and then went lost in thoughts. Of course, it's about Dolker. Can be known with the evidence of Twilight is wearing the dog tags, one is hers and one is Dolker's. Her mind was went on that time when she attended his funeral, then the second one about how he fought and died.

But what was the main thing for her to remember was how did Dolker taught her to be a soldier. That time at that boot camp, she found quiet odd to know that the LT rarely mad at her instead of the others, only received reprimands if she did something wrong. Even if she got angried by a drill sergeant, Dolker told him to be 'nice' with her which she was feeling a little comfort about it. From that time she try to found out why, whilst learning so much more military lessons and drills.

She was learning a lot more of skills Dolker that time, along with Rendor. For the past 3 weeks in boot camp she very trusted Dolker in training her and guiding her. Not sure why she would trust him for such thing, perhaps his change personality when she was around. Twilight ever had the time to talk with Dolker that time. About why his behaviour was like that when she was around.

When she asked why, he was kind of avoid it and mad at her. But after a moment of forcing him to talk why, he went silent. He managed to told her why. Which she was a little sad about it.

"I ever lost my sister before. I'm not going to lose one again."

It was the only reason why he cared to Twilight very much back in Afghanistan.

Twilight only felt brokenhearted at his words and when he died that time. Keep lost in thought like this made her to get headaches, which she promptly to hold her forehead with her left hand. She massage her forehead for a moment before she felt a grip on her left shoulder. She wasn't merely surprised to it, she just wasn't expecting that. Twilight then looked up to left to see who's holding her shoulder as her hand was putted down above her knee. She was a little surprised to see that was Sunset who held her shoulder, the rest 5 Rainbooms member of them were right behind her and surprisingly, there was Twilight and Starlight from the equestria universe with them.

"How's your day, Twi?" Sunset asked with a smile as she removed her hand from Twilight's shoulder.

"Not too bad, I guess," Twilight replied, then leaned her back against the bench. "How's yours?"

"We're good, Twi," Princess Twilight answered cheerily. "You're just walking in the park?"

"Yeah, I just need to take a breather here," Twilight replied, and sighed. "You?"

"Same here," Rarity answered. "And then we're going to the mall."

"Really?" Spike as in disbelieve as his head was tilted to the right. "This morning?"

"Yep," Fluttershy shyly answered. "Oh well, you know. Looking for stuffs."

"Yeah, care to join our company?" Pinkie asked with a smile, but also trying to avoid her outburst that she would made 4 days ago. (right)

"No, thanks," Twilight replied with a shook. "I have something else to do."

Her friends looked at her in wonder, Sunset bow her head a little to the left. "What is it?"

"I have 'friends' coming up to my house so," Twilight paused for a moment. "Yeah."

"Who's dat?" AJ asked.

"My fellow soldiers, Applejack," Twilight replied, then smiled a little. "They'll be coming to my house in the afternoon."

"Oh, alright then," Rarity said, made Sunset turned around at her. "Looks like we'll be off to the mall now, darlings."

"Ya'll go ahead," Applejack said. "I'll stay back a little."

"Eih?" Dash shot back. "Are you trying to avoid from my challenge, AJ?"

"No, ah'm not," Applejack answered. "I was planning to go to.... Twilight's house."

They were curious why would she want to go to Twilight's, even though there's actually nothing much there. "Why though?" Starlight asked.

Instead of answering her, she changed her sight towards Twilight. "Ya'h still don't feel so settled, right?"

Twilight wanted to lie but her feelings still felt so bitter, so she answered honestly. "Yeah."

"I guess Twilight might needs another company," Spike suggested.

"I see," Dash said in understood, as well with the others. "So you catch up with us after that?"

"Yeah," Applejack answered with a sure nod. "Sure, ah'm just worried about Twilight, that's all."

"Alright then," Sunset said at last. "We'll be off then, see ya girls."

"See ya," Applejack responded with a wave.

The moment they left, Spike, Twilight and Applejack took their leave from the park and were on the way back to Twilight's house. As they walked, Applejack looked over to Twilight and see how was she doing. Still not smiling a bit that's for sure. Hands in her jacket pocket, head bow down a little, no harness on her dog. And now, AJ just noticed that there were some small scars on her left cheek and on her nose.

"What happened to your face?" Applejack asked in a little worry.

"Just after a couple of missions, AJ," Twilight replied calmly. "There's nothing to worry about."

"Still, ah'm worried about you," Applejack said again.

"Why?" Twilight asked as they stopped walking and Twilight turned at AJ.

Applejack was silent for a moment to thought for an answer before answering. "Back in the camp, remember?"

"Oh," Twilight said, they then started to walked again. "What about it?"

"Ah'm worried dat seeing what ya' have become now," Applejack then paused. "You're going to do that again."

Twilight was obnoxious to remember that time what she did back in the camp, a gun to the head. "Sorry, AJ. I..... just had enough on what I've been through."

"It's alright," AJ responded with pity. "You have told us what have you been through."

"Yeah," Twilight sighed. "At least I'm still alive."

"Just please," Applejack begged. "Don't die again."

"I'll try my best."

Twilight noticed the time was already 11:25 AM. It's going to be noon soon enough when they reached home, and Twilight just noticed that Applejack is wearing her white shirt and blue jeans, and don't even think she will leave her stetson hat back in her home. Can be said, they three are enjoying the long walk with their faces smiling (Not Twilight). They were much more enjoying the breeze of the wind that just flew to them as the weather were cloudy and there are peoples walking around them, some in a hurry to work, some in calm to enjoy walk. On the way, they nearly frightened by the sound of a running-fast motorcycle that just pass by them. *VROOOOOMM*

"Ah' wonder why there are some people like to go fast..." Applejack said after the sound of motorcycle is starting to fade.

"Either want a race, in a hurry, daily driving with it, or show off," Twilight then sighed. "At least I got something like that."

"Wait, ya' have a motorcycle?" Applejack asked, surprised if she able to afford one.

"Correction, military quad ATV," Spike corrected.

"AN ATV?!" Applejack asked, nearly in a shout. "Wow, ya' can even afford stuff like that."

"got money from my work, so yeah," Twilight replied with a smirk and a shrug.

They walk on, and soon they three reached Twilight's home. Applejack was a little surprised to see that, there are the soldiers and Farikh along with his brothers parked their 3 humvees (all with emplacement for 50 Cal.) and a truck in front of Twilight's house. The soldiers who were there were Sgt. Foley's squad, Twilight's squad, Lt. Water, Cpl. Wharnel, and surprisingly Col. Marshall alongside Farikh and his brothers. They all greeted the purple-haired corporal, her talking dog (which frightened Water, Farikh with his brothers and Wharnel after Spike gave a voice reply), and Applejack. They regrouped in front of the entrance of her house and Twilight hugged and shake hands which each soldier in elated while Applejack and Spike just watched they do that.

"I thought you people come here in the afternoon," Twilight stated.

"Well, change of plans," Farikh said with a shrug as his eyes rolled around. "We just decided to get here a little early so we can spend more time together."

"I see, min bror," Twilight replied, with a little fake accent of swedish person. "And I thought you can't come over, Colonel."

"Actually I was surprised that I somehow have finished every task back in the base in the morning," Colonel replied whilst scratching his back of his head. "So with that done, I can come over to you for reunion."

"At least Carl is not with us," Lt. Water said, which eventually made everyone (except Applejack and Spike) upset.

"Him again?" Ramirez asked in slight annoyance. "Dude!"

"Who's Carl?" Applejack asked, pulling everyone's attention.

"Ever heard the term 'fucked things up'?" Dunn asked, slightly rude but genteel.

"Yeah," Applejack answered awkwardly, folded her arms and bent her back backwards. "Why?

"Well, he always fucked things up," Wharnel added with a.... peeved sigh.

"Can you give an example about it?" Applejack requested.

"There's this one day, I apparently try to teach him how to drive a tank back in Afghanistan," Colonel explained. "Yeah I let him drive. Know what happened next? He drove the tank until it fell into a goddamn river. And we had to let it sunk."

Applejack was seem to be amused and she laughed with her mouth closed with her hand. "Yeah, yeah, we're only glad that he wasn't with us," Rendor admitted with a defeated and annoyed tone.

"We haven't meet properly yet," Sgt. Foley then walked over to AJ and shakes her hand. "Name's Sgt. Foley, ma'am."

Then each every one of them saluted Applejack in turn.

"Cpl. Dunn, miss."

"Pvt. Ramirez, good to meet ya."

"Colonel Marshall, we've met before."

"Lt. Water Catherine, pleased to meet you."

"Cpl. Wharnel, nice to meet you."

"Farikh, we've also met before. And these are my brothers, Shalim, Sarned, Khali, and Hasan."

"Spc. Rendor. vice acting-commander of Twilight's squad."

"Pvt. Jeremy. Demolitionist for Twilight's squad."

"Pvt. Yorker. Heavy gunner fa'r Twilight's squad."

"Pvt. Laner. Medic for Twilight's squad."

"Pvt. Zendel. Sharpshooter for Twilight's squad."

"Wow, it's really great to meet ya' all," Applejack commented happily and comfortable to know every soldiers name that were coming to Twilight's house. "Name's Applejack. by the way, why ya' have an accent like mine, Yorker?"

"He's from Texas," Twilight answered, saved Yorker from answering it. "He was a farmer before."

"He is?!?" Applejack asked in very surprise towards her, before turning back at Yorker with a.... teasing look. "Ah' may need a 'helping hand' with people like ya'."

"Sure, if I don't have any job back at base," Yorker replied, felt embarrass by her tease.

"So, shall we go inside?" Farikh asked to everyone as he looked at them one by one.

"Yeah, sure why not?" everyone replied almost in unison, then they all proceed to go inside her house. To spend their good time together, with fellow soldiers and people alike.

Sunset and her friends were already reached the mall and currently walking around the mall. They all were decided to head out towards the fabric shop on the second floor of the east wing of the mall. Rarity was looking for fabric supplies for her tailoring job for sure, but high quality if she can (Which made everyone wondered where did Rarity get such money to afford expensive fabrics). After they entered the shop they all looked around the shop and see and test the fabric by touching it. It feels like they entered a discount of Rarity's carousel boutique.

Princess Twilight however admired the huge building of mall that they just entered at the outside of the shop. As she admires it, Starlight recently bought an ice cream and walked over to her. They chat a little bit outside before they proceed to enter back the shop to see how's their friends doing. Rarity did managed to buy something while the rest were either fascinated with the texture of the fabric or enjoyed the colors of it.

"So, got something you're looking for?" Sunset asked to Rarity.

"Oh, sure darling," Rarity replied with a huge smile and gave a 'lady' look at her. "I guess I can get back to work again making beautiful dresses."

"Like what you did to someone who is new with awful clothes?" Rainbow asked, which is actually a reminder of what Rarity did to a newcomer with awful clothes.

Rarity was quickly insulted by that. "NO! No! Why would you think I would do that?!"

"Because you always like that," Fluttershy added shyly. "The exact thing like Rainbow said."

"You do know I can refrain, right?" Rarity asked, tried to convinced them that would be not a problem to them.

"Yeah, but not that much, Rarity," Starlight answered whilst massaging her left shoulder. "You hardly refrain."

"The good thing is that didn't happen to Twilight, right?" Pinkie asked quickly and nearly smiled.

Everyone immediately upset on what the hell Pinkie just said. "Hey!!" Easy there, Pinkie girl. No offense.

"Really, Pinkie?" Princess Twilight asked in doubt and annoyed.

"Well, look who's here," a voice came up from behind them, after they turned around it turns out those were the main 5 Shadowbolts. "Didn't expect you'll be here, girls," Indigo added with a smile.

"Hello there, darlings," Rarity greeted them. "what brings you here?"

"You know," Lemon said casually. "Looking for fabrics as well. Planning to make some cool t-shirts for our school."

"I guess Rarity can help with that," Sunset suggested. "She can also made that besides dresses. Ain't that right, Rarity?" and received a nod from Rarity.

"That's really kind of you, girls," Sugarcoat replied quickly and with a happier tone. "That's make things faster."

"By the way," Sour added. "Where's Twilight (not the princess) and Applejack?"

"They both are at Twilight's house," the princess answered. "Something about hanging out with fellow soldiers."

"Hence because she was a soldier," Fluttershy added as they looked towards the Shadowbolts, they were hoping that they were very surprised with that.

But they were surprised that the Shadowbolts didn't even surprised with such things like that, instead, they were being awkward. "I'm afraid that ship has sailed first." Sunny responded awkwardly.

"Wait, you already know this!?" Rainbow asked in disbelieve. "But we didn't tell you anything before and we just saying it now."

"Yesterday, we were eating at Solar Phariah Diner," Indigo explained. "You know, our favorite place to eat. When we were about to get our seats there, then there's a soldier entered the diner. We were very, very surprised to see that Twilight was the soldier fully wearing combat uniform, kevlar vest, weapons and ammo. She wanted to eat there, and we insist her to eat with us. Then there were another soldier entered the diner, her friend's name is Lt. Water Catherine..."

They were really surprised to hear Indigo explained that, but what was made them cringed was Twilight's friend's name. "Water Catherine? Is that Watermelody's sister?" Rarity asked in perplexed.

"No, she's not," Indigo answered, before continuing the story. "After that, there's this Taliban prisoner entered the diner. The soldiers let him sit with us uncuffed. His name was Mohud or something."

"The Red Hand?" the princess asked.

"Yeah," Indigo then produced a few seconds of 'uhmm'. "They do talking for quite some time, and surprisingly get along. Twilight seems able to changed the Taliban's way of life, because he seems much more friendlier than Twilight ever remembered."

"Really?" Sunset asked with cringed. "That's somehow odd. So after that he went back to jail and Twilight go home?"

"Well, she hang out a bit with us before she went off," Sunny answered. "But before that, Mohud was kind of warn Twilight about something."

"What is it?" Pinkie asked quickly. "He knows by his hunch that something terrible is going to happen in this city?"

They all paused to her statement before Sugarcoat speaks. "Yeah, something like that. And Twilight took it seriously until she necessarily asked her Lieutenant to keep an away for any danger."

"Twilight always took something seriously for now," Starlight added, stating the fact. "Especially it is something really bad for her."

"I took it she always deals much of those things by herself," Sour guessed as her hands are on her hips.

"Sort of," Fluttershy responded with a shrug, but noticed that Indigo's face was showing her agitation on something. "Is there anything wrong, Indigo?"

"What if what that Taliban said was right?" Indigo asked. "I forgot to mentioned that he felt the ISIS are up something in this city."

"I though the Talibans and the ISIS are on the same side," Rainbow stated, which is the wrong fact.

"No, they're not," Lemon said to her in high tone. "He said that both of those parties were fighting against each other, when the Soviets even invade Afghanistan."

"I see," the princess said in consent. "Now I'm worried about that, ISIS are going to attack this city."

Then suddenly, they heard gunshots outside the shop. They though they were dreaming but they were wrong. Those sounds were starting to closing in to them from the first floor. They all decided to go out to observe the situation outside to see what's going on out there. It was true after all, something that Cpl. Twilight feared the worst. Sunset cannot say anything but one.

"No."

"It's a nice house you have here, Corporal," Foley complimented, impressed.

"Thanks, Sarge," Twilight responded with a smirk. "I just tidy up my house this morning (and my arsenals)."

They all gathered around the table, either sitting on a couple of couch, on chairs that Twilight got them from somewhere, or either on the floor. The soldiers are the one who took the seats on the couches, which are Foley's squad and himself and Twilight's squad. The Colonel, Lt. Water, Cpl, Wharnel, and Applejack are the ones who took seats on the chairs. Farikh and his brothers decided to sat down on the floor, instead for waiting for Twilight to get them some chairs, and they even insisted. As they sit, Twilight was getting some drinks for them and she puts them on the table. Soft drinks and some beverages are the ones that are served on the table, before Twilight finally sat down on the chair next to Applejack.

It is a very good reunion for Twilight, very best to be exact. All soldiers gathering here, all safe from war, bullets, and explosives. Good to see each other still alive and well, despite the wounds they had physically. No sounds of screaming of soldiers and Talibans around. And most of all, Carl wasn't here which they all glad for it (Which AJ found odd for the soldiers).

"I bet you have a good morning, Twi," which Twilight gave a flat stare towards Water. "What?"

"Nightmares...." Twilight said, acknowledging anyone on what she meant.

"I see," Water responded.

"Between ya'r nightmares and what ya' do a few days ago," Applejack stated. "The worse one is what ya' do a few days ago."

"What did she do?" Ramirez asked.

"Nearly shot herself in the head," everyone's reaction was very immediately by giving their shocked looks at AJ, while Twilight gave an irritating look look at AJ. "Back in Camp Everfree a few days ago."

The Colonel was so focused on Twilight that AJ can saw his deep worried towards Twilight. "Is there anything else happen?"

"She nearly shot someone for touching her beret," Applejack answered slowly. "But ah' let it pass for that."

"Anything else?"

"She already died three times now," which everyone said 'what!?' loudly to her. "She was mauled by a bear back in the camp."

Everyone was went silent after that. Speechless on what to say next, what the hell happened to Twilight was far more crazy than they expected. Ain't no way someone survived a bear attack like that, that's what they though, and more importantly, she may need someone to keep her mental health in check. But then the silence broke by Colonel Marshall, who is unreasonably laughed at the facts which made the soldiers, the ex-Taliban terrorists, Applejack and Twilight herself confused on what is the colonel thinking right now. He laughed as he shook his head many times before glaring at Twilight, which giving a look of disbelieve plus a smirk on his face.

"What the fuck, Twilight," Colonel said with a suspiciously happy tone. "Now I don't know whether to get you back on a mission, getting you a doctor, or giving you a big info dump lecture."

"I think I will go with the lecture," Twilight responded awkwardly.

"Her magic didn't give her a favor to resurrect, right?" Farikh asked, making sure that was right.

"Yeah," AJ replied with a nod.

"Now I'm starting to think that God may just destined you to be still alive," Dunn commented with a little cringe.

"But isn't that counted as magically?" Water asked. "Or miracle, whatever."

"Miracle," Applejack responded.

"So what next, Twi?" Jeremy asked after took a gulp of his soft drink. "survived a fall from third story building?"

"We'll see about that," Twilight snorted with a smirk, then she looked over to Cpl. Wharnel who seems to be wiggling her body due to her brain playing music. "You're doing good there Wharnel, besides blowing stuffs up?"

"Very good, Twi," Wharnel joked. "Well, I was about to say that I owe you one."

"Eih?" everyone asked in confusion on what she meant.

"Discount Favela, Twi," Wharnel added to make it clear. "You save my ass with your magic, remember?"

Wharnel closed her eyes, prepare for the incoming impact of bullets that are will strike both her and Twilight. Continuous very loud gun rattling can be heard as the bullets flying at them. But then there was something odd, Wharnel didn't feel any bullets just hit her body and the sound of gun rattlings went to silent. Wharnel opened her eyes slowly, hoping it was just she was being dreaming. But she was beyond shock to see what was right in front of her.

Twilight was pointing her left palm forward, in which it was glowing purple magic. Twilight has stopped a hundreds of bullets 3 inch in front of them in time with her telekinetic magic that glows purple color on all the wall of bullets. Wharnel slowly drops her jaw to the sight while the Talibans on the other side, slowly stepped back in shock whilst aiming their weapons at them both. It was a few seconds of silent tense, Twilight's left arm was starting to twitch a little, implying she was giving the strength to her magic. Then, in a blink of an eye, Twilight wildly sends back the bullets to the sender.

*THWAACHK*

All the 10 Talibans were shot back and flew backwards, some hit the wall, some hit the ground violently while their weapons flew off from their hands far. From the cover, to the wall, and to the corpse of the Talibans were all riddled with massive amount of bullet holes. Seeing this kind of sorcery sends chills down to Wharnel's spine knowing of Twilight capabilities of doing so. Twilight then lowered down her arm, but then quickly looked over to her left palm in shock on what the hell she just did. It was her first time stopping bullets like that with magic, by survival instinct.

"Dude, holy shit!" Wharnel exclaimed in beyond shock. "How did you do that?"

"I just didn't realize I used my magic," Twilight answered (Which Wharnel didn't know from her about it). "But I didn't mean to use it like that, that was the first time In my whole life I did that. Fuck!"

"Easy, girl," Wharnel said as she walked over to her and grabbed her shoulders. "That's alright, you just saved us from getting killed."

"Really?" Twilight asked in doubt. "Didn't you see what I did to them?"

"I know, but they're enemies," Wharnel reasoned. "It's fine, trust me. You'll be fine about it one day."

"Alright," Twilight snorted. "Just don't tell everyone what just happened here alright?"

"Alright," Wharnel answered, before they both begin to move on to assist the rest of the squad.

"So that's what happened?" Mccord asked with his arms folded. "You didn't tell us about it before you went rage."

"Yeah, that's exactly what happen that time," Twilight admitted with a little sorrow.

"Well, more than that," Wharnel added, then leaned forward to Twilight on her chair. "I'm sorry to hear about what happen to Dolker."

Twilight paused for a moment, hearing that name again triggered her memory in her head in a moment before able to reply. "Thanks, Corporal."

"And you still owe me one," Twilight added. "Fair enough."

"Yep," Water said in consent. "Twilight, where's that Pinkie that you mentioned?"

"She's at the Canterlot Mall with some of our friends," applejack answered, then crossed legs above her left thigh. "Why?"

"Well, we all do heard about her, very great party planner and very great cake maker," Jeremy said, then Ramirez continued. "We just want to know more about her from you, who knows?"

"Alright, first of all, she's a crazy party animal, ranging from 'welcome to the new town party' until 'international and unnecessary party'," Twilight explained firmly. "Second, Pinkie is being Pinkie. If you see she had got something out from nowhere, try not to think about it because it will hurt your brain more."

"Can give an example about that?" Farikh asked, which is actually a question from Hasan.

"She can pulled out a party cannon out of nowhere from her back," Applejack answered, which made them felt the anomaly of Pinkie Pie.

"Ok..... what else?" Foley asked, with a little confusion on how did Pinkie able to do that.

"She has Pinkie sense, which is always right," Twilight said, then AJ continued. "She somehow knows about where are we going, where to find something, and know what to do next, which we don't what we are going to do something important. She's a type of a girl who somehow can always see what happen next."

The soldiers and the Afghan peoples were giving their amazed look at Aj and Twilight both. They all were not sure if they really hearing right or wrong. Pinkie can do something like that? Don't know unless they see it themselves. They all shook their heads to remove their amazed looks before them.

"And she is the type of girl who can break the 4^th wall," Twilight added, which surprises everyone to remind them someone else who can do that.

"Wow, she can do dat?" Yorker asked. "Damn, Carl can also do that as well."

"Wait, what?" Twilight was simply disbelieve with the fact Carl can also do what Pinkie do. "That's new."

"Yeah, can't believe he can do something like that," Foley added in consent. (Now I'm wondering how the fuck Carl can get in my house a month ago, even though I was in Indonesia while he was at Afghanistan)

"Alright, let's discuss another topic," Twilight reasoned, to change the current topic.

They shared each others stories, experience, and adventure happily as they should be now. They shared laughs as they said and heard jokes among themselves, mainly military jokes. It was a countless minutes passed by and they still get along very well, and AJ looks like already being a good friend of Yorker. Though as they share talk, Twilight quickly reminded of something. Something she needs to be worried after yesterday. But first, she let this conversation continue first.

"Yeah, for sure they had quickly ran out the room after the flashbang exploded," Mccord said, telling the, that prank moment.

"What's wrong with you and your flashbang!?" Laner protested. "Remember the last time you did to Twilight!?"

"You nearly made her blind, bro," Dunn added. "Plus she screamed with a delay that time."

"دا درد ته اړتیا لري," Sarned said, which achieve a nod from his brother Farikh.

"Huh, Ah'm impressed, Twi," Applejack admitted with a shook and a smile. "Ya' still not blind, even though ya' already have 4 eyes."

"Shut up, AJ," Twilight said to her in annoyed, AJ only chuckled, but then Twilight changed her expression into a worrierd one. "Water, remember what I asked you yesterday?"

"What do you-?" Water immediately remembered what did she said a day ago. "Oh that."

"What's 'that'?" Wharnel asked as they confused on what Water and Twilight meant.

"The Red Hand told her by his hunch that there is something will happen in this city by the ISIS group," Water answered, then put her left hand underneath her chin. "Still I don't find anything about it."

"Oh, I think remembered something," Colonel Marshall then leaned forward with his both hands placed underneath his forehead. "Well, I got reports from a relative of mine from Tartus, Syria. That the ISIS had planned an attack inside USA, the problem is, when we able to get their intel off their hands, they were all fake, and fortunately they lost the bomb they need to destroy something important because we have it in our hands. We don't know where the attack will be held until now."

Twilight is still worried about this... wait, no........ somehow very worried and agitated. "Ya' okay, Sugarcube?"

Twilight looks like knew where the attack will be held by her third eye. "I hope I'm wrong."

"What do you mean?" Ramirez asked, but then he had a mind like what Twilight thought. ".....You're saying that.....?"

Suddenly, Twilight's phone beeps, nearly startled everyone in the room. Twilight pulled out her phone from her pocket of her pants and looked over to it. It was Sergeant Officer Marshall who called her. She answered the phone and immediately put it next to her ear. Waiting for a moment, she said the word first.

"Hello?"

"Twilight, glad to hear you. Listen, we have problem here," there were visible sounds of a lot gunfires through the call.

"Are those gunshots?"

"Yeah, we kind of pinned down by the terrorrist, I guess it's ISIS, and made a circular barricade around the Canterlot Mall."

"You just said the ISIS are at the mall!?" Twilight asked quickly, shocked with the discovery.

"Yeah, check the news." Twilight quickly take the remote and turned on the TV which the channel was already straight to News Channel.

Seeing the news that is currently showing right now, they were very shocked. The News Channel is showing that how the cops have build car barricades along the perimeter of the mall, the distance between the barricade and the mall is 700 meters. The cops and the SWATs are firing back at the terrorist who are at the third floor, second floor and first floor alike. The civilian cars were scattered everywhere when the attack happened and there were civilian running around the field avoiding the bullets and took cover behind cars and destroyed cars. Even the news tells them that the terrorist were in large number and very well-armed, kind of above 100 numbers of terrorist. Everyone stood up from their chairs to see the horrifying attack and Twilight's fear went grew larger.

"No, our friends are in there!" AJ shouted angrily. "Why would they do this!?"

"They're terrorist," Rendor answered as he watched the TV. "And that's what they do, terrorize the people, city, and country."

"Why here?" AJ asked again but not receive a reply from anyone.

"You see it?" Kurt asked through the phone to Twilight.

"Yeah...." Twilight replied darkly and in low voice. "Tell the officers I'm coming."

"Alright, hurry up," Kurt quickly closed the phone call and Twilight limply let her hand with phone fell down to her side, she was being frozen as she silently watched the news.

"You're okay, Corporal?" Mccord asked.

"Colonel, I need permission to assist the police forces and rescue the mall and it's civilian," Twilight begged darkly.

Colonel only sighed at that, before he gave the decision. "Not only that, but we're coming with you."

Twilight slowly turned around and looked at her commanding officer in surprise. "What?"

"Yeah, we're coming with you," Foley said with a nod along with his boys.

"Us too," Rendor said to her, wanting to make sure he and the rest of Twilight's squad got her back.

"Me too," both Wharnel and Water said to her with a nod.

"Where's there ISIS is around, that's our problem as well," Farikh said, followed up with the word "هو (yeah" from his brothers.

"Ah' coming with you too," Applejack said quickly, which also surprises Twilight as well.

"No, you can't!" Twilight shot back. "You going to be killed out there!"

"Ah' wouldn't sit here do nothing with our friends trapped there!" Applejack quickly grabbed Twilight by her shoulders. "Look it's our friends out there that needs our help, OUR FRIEND. Ah' can't stay here to see them get themselves killed. Besides, Ah' saved ya' once Twilight, back in The Red Day. And ah' not let you go out there to die again, even with your fellow soldiers on site."

"Applejack! I can't afford to lose someone else again!" Twilight retorted back.

"Look, Ah' know you worried alright?" Applejack said in calm tone. "But Ah' coming with ya' like it or not. Ah' promise myself to not let anything happened to them as well."

Twilight paused to her statement and looked away for a moment, it was enough to convinced Twilight to let her join, she then looked over to AJ's face again. "Just promise me to not die out there, Alright?"

"Ah' promise," Applejack answered in confident, in sure, and in brave as she let go her hands of her shoulders.

Twilight paused for a moment before she gave a reply. "Welcome to the US Rangers."

"Twilight, you take the lead," Colonel said to her, who was surprised by his order. "I believe you're good at leading the soldiers, even for a Corporal."

"Yeah, gotta agree with the colonel," Mccord said, as the rest nodded in agreement. "You are worthy to be a leader."

They all went quiet for a moment, Twilight was kind of dumbfounded with that. "So, your orders, Twilight?" Water asked.

Twilight paused for a moment before saying to them. "Did you all bring your equipments?"

"Yes, we are," Wharnel and Farikh both said at the same time, but then everyone glanced over to Farikh to what he said. "What? We still have our AKs and RPGs."

"Sometimes you amazed me, bro," Zendel commented with shook of his head and his hands on the hips.

"All right, everyone grab all the gears you have," Twilight ordered. "It's time to teach them to not mess with us."

"Yes ma'am!" everyone responded before they all except Applejack and Twilight herself ran out to get their weapons and equipments for the battle.

"AJ, follow me," Twilight ordered, which she only obeys her order and head up to upstairs to her bedroom.

There was nothing special in her bedroom. But after Twilight pulled out a green box from underneath her bed and opened up a her cabinet bedroom on the wall, Applejack expression went from flat to amazement. There were weapons in the box and also weapons and kevlar armors inside her cabinet. Applejack then snapped herself out and looked over to Twilight, who is surprisingly changed clothes into US Rangers combat uniform with full kevlar armor with ammunition pouches and first aid pouch with small tactical backpack on her back (It took her only a minute to change clothes.

"Here's your armor, AJ," Twilight said as she gave the armors of kevlar, elbow and knee protector to her by putting them on Twilight's bed (Except for helmet, because Applejack only want her hat to kept stick with her).

Applejack immediately put them on and it really fit her nicely. As she's putting on the knee pads, Applejack noticed that Twilight is already pulling out her weapons of choice. M9 Beretta, her weapon signature Scar-H, G36, Benelli M4, and dual glock 18. There were some weapons like M4A4, ACR, Vector Kriss, and anything else left inside the green box or in the cabinet. Twilight led her to check out the weapons which is best for her, but first Twilight gave her weapon signature to Applejack.

"But why?" AJ asked.

"It feels like it's the time for me to use the rifle of my fallen brother-in-arms," Twilight replied as she gave her the Scar-H. "Take it."

"It's actually a good rifle," Applejack complimented as she took a good look onto it. "Is there anything else you got?"

"Here, M1911 pistol and Vector Kriss SMG for you," Twilight said as she gave the weapons that might suit her for battle. "Might suit you."

"T-thanks," Applejack said with a smirk.

"Alright, come on, let's stock up our gear." They both then went on to fill in their supplies for their weapons and equipments they need for the battle.

Twilight gave Applejack a small tactical backpack filled with the equipments they need for breaching, blowing something, breaking chains, you name it. Applejack was really well impressed of how supplied she was. Great to say, they have a lot of ammunition for their weapons. But when it comes to grenades, Twilight had to teach her a little about it so Applejack can do a little precaution around it, especially when holding frag grenades. Applejack though doesn't need to know how to use weapons because she ever held some weapons before so she knew how to reload some of the weapons. After the weapons stock up, they quickly went outside and see how the others doing.

The soldiers and the Ex-Talibans have armed themselves very, very well about it, they all have brought their own kevlar vest, even the Afghans have it. The humvees have been added with miniguns that they put on the back of the humvee and the truck that Farikh has have also been added with 50 Cal. Mahinegun. Such superior firepower enough to take a whole lot of infantries, with a good bonus of rocket launchers at the soldiers and Ex-Talibans disposal for blowing something up from a distance. Colonel Marshall have told them both that they're ready to go and await for her orders.

"Everyone, mount up!" Twilight ordered. "Applejack, you'll ride with Farikh and his brothers. Looks like you want to try out that machine gun."

"Thanks, soldier," Applejack responded happily as she walked backwards away from Twilight then turned around and hop on to the back of the truck with Shalim, who is armed with AK-74u.

They all mount up in their respective vehicles and began to move out towards the mall in a hurry and forming a straight line formation on the road. The lead humvee on the very front is filled with Twilight's squad (minus Rendor, since there was no enough seat) and herself on the minigun. The second one is filled by Colonel Marshall, Spc. Rendor, Cpl. Wharnel, and Lt. Water who has manned the minigun. The third one is filled by Foley's squad and himself, with Ramirez manned the minigun on top. Lastly, the grey Chevrolet truck filled by its owner and his brothers plus Applejack who manned the machine gun on the back, accompanied with Shalim to make sure she's doing fine with that weapon. Now before they went to battle, Twilight make a call for this operation.

"All units, this is Twilight. Execute Operation Dawnbreaker."
