The Dragons, Changeling separatist, and Griffon Kingdom have combined forces, forming the C.O.R.
They threaten Equestria, princess twilight has assigned Spike to make a task forces to fight this threat.
(I will be taking influence from Black Ops 1 but it is its own thing)
Prologue: The Meeting and preparations
Spike was walking the castle's halls, he was being escorted by a couple of twilight’s guards to the war room. Spike had known what this meeting was about the C.O.R are getting too powerful and it needs to be cheeked. He arrived at the war room and with one last look at the files he acquired for this meeting; he walked in and took a seat.
At the table he saw some familiar faces. “Hay king thorax been awhile.” spike greeted thorax, the king of the changelings.
“Now spike your a friend. You don't have to be formal with me.”
“Is that so.” spike said in a deadpan.
Just then the princess, Twilight walked in the room, sat down and said, “now that everyone is here lets discuss the threat the C.O.R pose to are kingdoms.”
At this the dragon lord Ember said, “Twilight, the C.O.R is trying to dethrone all of us how are we going to do this.”
“In a minute, we have to know how we all stand in terms of the C.O.R situations.” twilight said, earning a glare from ember.
Thorax then spoke up and said, “My changelings could not come up with anything about the C.O.R plans. So we don't know what they're going to do with the land but what my spies have told me, they have taken over the griffon kingdom.”
“Dammit that complicates things for us.” twilight said under her breath.
“We have to strike while we still have time to.” Ember said with thorax nodding his head in agreement.
“So we're all in agreement that the C.O.R has to be dealt with.” twilight said, get a pleading look from spike. “Ok, we are going to have to keep this little thing Ares a secret, so I have got my best operative to make a team to handle this problem.” “Spike the floors yours.” she said letting the dragon in question speak
“Thank you ma’am, the team will be made up of myself and other operators. We will start with stopping the weapons from getting in the C.O.R hands/claws, next assassination any key personal. That should destabilize them for a couple years at worst and eliminate them at best.” he informed them.
“ok, exactly who will be on this team.” Thorax asked which spike put 4 personal files on the table.
“Sargent Gears, Woodfire, Gray Cloud, and Private Scootaloo.” said the dragon.
“How do we know we can trust them?” Said Ember,
“I worked all of them before, they can be trusted. I give you my word.” Spike said to Ember get a look in return.
“Fine, but if you get caught, I have nothing to do with this,” she said,
“I think that's the point of this operation.” spike said with a smirk on his face.
“That's all we have for this meeting. Spike get your team together and prepare deployment in a week,” said twilight, “yes ma’am,” was his response.
(That night, Sweet Apple Acres)
When the meeting concluded Spike boarded the train to Ponyville, once he got there he spent time with his wife, but now he has to tell her about the deployment.
“Hey AJ, I have to tell you something” he said with worry in his voice. Applejack responded with a look.
“What's wrong, sugar cube?” she asked him in worry.
“I’m getting redeployed to the dragon lands.” he said. She looked sad, but then told him.
“hay don’t worry it's ok.” she reassured him.
“I know, I'm sorry I have to miss your birthday again” he said looking down in shame. She then kissed the dragon and said
“it's ok, you have a job to do and I get it, you don’t have to apologies for that. She said. The couple kissed each other and went to bed to sleep, both having a long day ahead of them.

“So the alliance has no clue what we're doing?” said general garble to his captive.
“You will never get away with this.” The changeling said to the general.
“I think I will, but thanks for your input, useless bug.” he spat at the changeling, then he pulled out his Makarov and executed the changeling with a shot to the head. Blood was on his face. “Someone clean up this mess and get me a rage.” garble said to no one in particular. He walked down the hall and entered a small room.
"So lets get this are objective's in order, queen chrysalis you and your changeling will distracted the alliance forces from the rocket, if the rocket isn't in the sky in the next year we will have to delay the invasion." Garble tolled Chrysalis.
"Why will they need to be distracted, anyway?" she asked
"because my dear comrade they have been looking around to fined out what were doing and for obvious reasons, we can't let that happen," garble said.
"So Gilda, get your men to defend the rocket and get supplies so we can speed up the process." he ordered
"yes sir" she said as she saluted him.
"good now let put an end to alliance and the," perfect" life's." he left the room thinking to himself.
"the pathetic alliance won't know that the war is coming and their nothing they can do to stop it." as he got to his quarters he went to sleep. With the thought of ponies dead by his hands, it brings a smile to his face.
Sweet apple acres ,
0600hours
Spike just woke up from his slumber. He noticed his wife wasn’t in bed. He walked down the stairs and saw her make breakfast. “Hay honey! What are you making?” he said lovingly.
“Hey there sleepy head, I'm making your favorite apple and gem pie!” she said with enthusiasm.
“You always know what I like.” he said as they ate breakfast.
Spike wrote 2 letters, one to woodfire and the other to gray cloud. The letters had little details, but he did put the time they were going to be deployed. He then set them with his enchanted dragon fire. “Ok that takes care of that, later I'll get the other 2” Spike thought as he got ready for the day.
After the tree’s apples were harvested, it was 1500 hours. It surprised him; he made good time, so he walked to the school to pick up his sister-in-law. She was still a filly, as he was walking to the school. Slightly angry at the fact that they didn't make civilian variants of vehicles yet. He walked and reached the school as he walked up; he saw the pony he never expected to see it was Scootaloo, and she was with a foal.
Spike walked up to her and said, “Hay Scootaloo. Good to see you.” Scootaloo perked up at hearing her name. She looked up and saw the one that called her, it was lieutenant Spike.
Out of instinct she saluted him and said, “lieutenant.”
He chuckled at her formalities he then said, “At ease private. I have something to tell you” he said to her.
“What is it, sir?” she asked.
“We're being deployed in 4 days,” he informed her.
“Now getting into more casual conversion. Who is this little guy?” I asked, looking at the little Pegasus colt.
“Oh, this little guy is my cute little boy, aren't you? Yes you are, yes you are.” she said, making him blush in embarrassment.
“Mom, you're embarrassing me!” he complained. Spike just laughed at the motherly moment.
Then he said to the foal. “It's the mother's job to embarrass their kids.” he just huffed and stayed quiet for now, anyway. “I never knew you had a kid scoots.” spike said.
“What, you never read my file?” she asked
“No, never had time to, but hey I know now.” he answered
“If you don't mind me asking, what are you doing here?” she asked
Spike replied with, “I'm here to pick up my sister-in-law.”
“Ok, thanks for the intel. I have to get someone to watch this little guy.” she said as walk away.
“Ok, that was lucky.” spike thought as he waited for applebloom to get out. It took 2 hours to get got she was apparently in detention because she called the teacher a bitch. Spike reprimanded her for that, and they finally got to the farm. Spike saw it was 1800hours. He turned to appleboom and said, “I’m going to tell Gears about the deployment, so tell AJ that I won’t be home till later.”
“Fine” she said, begrudgingly
“Thanks AB.” spike said.
He walked to the EIA building in downtown ponyville. He walked in a greeted the receptionist and said “hay sugarbell, have seen Gears around anywhere”
“Yeah, he's in the shooting range. He's been here all day, although we are going to close soon, so can you be a dear and get him out.” she asked him.
“Ok, I’ll see what I can do.” spike said
Spike walked down the hall and ended up at a staircase he walked down the stairs till he reached the negative 6 floor. “Good old N6, it's been a while.” He thought out loud. Spike walked out the stairwell and down the hall. As soon as he heard the unmistakable sound of an AK-47 being fired in the room. Spike walked in and saw the part dragon, part pony hybrid in the center of the room firing an AK into a target. “Ten points fucker” gears shouted.
“Hay, looks like you a better shot now.” Spike said in a mocking tone.
“Spike!?” Gears said almost without believing it.
“In the flesh lasted, I checked.” Spike said.
“How the fuck! I thought you were killed in that Asylum.” Gears said.
“Yeah, I know I can’t stay dead can I.” spike said with a chuckle
“So, let's get beers and catch up. Why don’t we.” gears said with genuine happiness.
“So you are happy to see me.” spike said as they walk out of the shooting range.
“Fuck yeah, I'm happy to see you. You're my best friend.” Gears said.
Spike and Gears caught up, and Spike was surprised to find out that Gears is a father now. After a few drinks, they left and parted ways. Spike went home only to find applejack staring at him with a do you know what time it is look. "honey I can expla- "
he was cut off by applejacks rant, "doyouhaveanyIdeahowlateitisIwassoworriedyoudon'tstayoutthislateusuallydo youevencareaboutme," she said more at pinkies speed more than anything.
"hay why are you mentioning me if I'm not even in the story,"
"pinkie leave me alone I'm trying to narrated a story here"
"but you do need the words so I'm just helping you"
"you just said not to mention you."
"no I didn't I'm just saying put me in."
"if I promise to put you in the next story will you let me tell mine"
"okay doily Loki."
"good now lets end this"
Spike and applejack spoke thing out and were just about go to bed. When spike looked at her with a bit of guilt for making her wait.
"I sorry for making you wait, AJ." spike said.
"its fine, your just try to reconnect with an old friend it ok." she said.
"no it's not, I'm going to spend months with with him working but I only have 3 days with you and I should spend it with you." spike said.
"that's sweet, ok lets spend the rest of the time together." applejack said.
"yeah, ok, time to get to bed, honey." spike said as they walked up to their room.

Sweet Apple Acres
Spike getting ready for deployment
0600hours October 10,2010
Spike spent the rest of his time with applejack, and now he has to go. He put on his uniform. “Another day another fight.” Spike said somberly.
“Oh don’t think of that. When I see you in that uniform I think look at my good looking husband.” Applejack said in a bit of a flirty tone.
“Yeah that's how you see it but it means something different for me I put it on and people die.” Spike said with a sad look in his eye.
“Look, I'm not going to pretend to understand what you're going through, but you did sign up for this.” She said.
“It’s my job as a soldier and a husband to protect my own” He said.
Yes, exactly you agreed to this job, and we apples don’t back out.” Applejack said in a cocky tone.
“Yeah, remind me how am I an apple again?” Spike asked knowing the answer.
“Well you agreed to be my husband didn’t you.” Applejack said in annoyance knowing full well that he was giving her a hard time.
“Thanks for playing along.” Spike said with a smile.
A knock at the door stopped the conversation from going farther. “That must be Gears and Scootaloo. We're going to walk to the LZ.” spike said as he walk towards the door. he heard a stallion’s voice through the door “spike stop fucking around and get the fuck out here!” the voice said.
“Gear don’t get your Panties in a twist on going.” Spike said. As Spike walked out his wooded home.
“About time I thought we have to plan a rescue mission.” Scootaloo said jokingly
“Ok let's get moving, we don’t have much time.” Spike said.
“So Spike who’s this” Gears asked him and jested to Scootaloo.
“This is Scootaloo she’s apart of the squad. I served with her in Griffonstone.” spike said to him.
“Hmm, welcome to the big leagues kid.” Gears said to Scootaloo.
“Yeah well it's about time I get some recognition” she said
“You know this ain't exactly a thing that's going in history books.” Spike told her.
As they got closer to the outskirts of Ponyville, they saw the chopper coming in for a landing.
“No backing out of this now Spike” Gears said, as the helicopter landed and they boarded.

1200hours, October 10,2010
The helicopter landed and Spike, Scootaloo, Gears got out of the chopper “ok we need to meet up with the others and get to discussing our first move.” Gears said. As they walked through the woods they saw two ponies waiting for them to arrive.
“That you Gears, it's been a long time.” said one of of the ponies.
“Yeah ain't it just. Good to see you Woodfire, Gray.” Gears said to them.
“I take it you know each other?” Spike asked.
“Yeah, I recruited them. You couldn’t have picked a better team.” Gears said as he walked with Wood, and Gears. A short walk later they all found them selfies at a warehouse. They walked inside and set up their equipment all across the warehouse.
“Ok let's see what we have here.” Gears said excitedly as he looked at the crate. He picked up a crowbar with his claws ridden hoof and opened the crate. He saw an assortment of things including but not limited to.
- AK-47 with extended magsRPK with a drum magsCommando with a grenade launcherBox of frag grenadesAnd a AUG with a suppressor and a ACOG scope
Is it heartwarming already” gears said. picking up the AUG and inspecting it.
“And here’s thinking this was going to be boring” Scootaloo said with a smirk.
“You said it girl!” Gears said looked over another weapon.
“So what are we waiting for? Let's get started.” Scootaloo said.
“Ok, Gray help me with this will you?” said Spike. As they were setting up the hit list and the objectives on the board, gears looked at the 3th picture with hatred for the dragon in the photo. A set of unease came over everyone as smoke was filling up the room. Spike looked at the source of the exhaust. He was surprised, it was Gears his nostrils were flared up and he looked like he was going to explode into flame.
“Gears you're alright?” Spike said in worry.
“So the fucker is still alive after all this time.” Gears said, though the greeted teeth.
“Who’s still alive Gears?” Spike asked
“Garble me and that fucker have history.” Gears said calmed down abet
“Is it going to be a problem?” Spike asked Gears.
“We’re here to kill him, aren't we?” was his response.
“Yes we are.” Spike said.
“Then no problem here.” Gears said coldly.
“Ok, now for the mission. are intel says that the C.O.R are planning something big with their space program. So we're going to infiltrate one of their outpost, and get any and all information on this project of theirs.” Spike briefed everyone.
“Ok who’s going in sir” said Woodfire
“Just for asking, you volunteered for this, and Scootaloo your going with him.” Spike told them.
“Ok as long as I’m taking point.” Woodfire said.
Fine, Scootaloo this is important good luck.
“I won’t let you down, sir.” Scootaloo said with a salute.

1800hours, October 10,2010
“Ok Scootaloo you see the 2 guards.” wood said in a whisper.
“Yeah” Scootaloo whispered
“Take the one on the left, the other one is mine.” Wood said to which Scootaloo just noted as they walked up to the unknowing victims, Scootaloo got behind the Pegasus guard. She pulled out her combat knife, bucked the guard in the back legs, knocking him over. She spun around and with a great amount of force brought the knife don’t on the pony’s windpipe. She removed the knife and cleaned it on her uniform.
“Ok we got to get their uniforms off and put them on.” Wood said.
“Got it.” Scootaloo said. She striped off her outfit and put on the guard’s clothing. “This is going to be a long night.” she thought as she picked up the AK-74u and walked in the facility.

C.O.R research outpost
Scootaloo, and woodfire
1800hours, October 10,2010
Scootaloo was looking left and right to make sure no one saw wood hiding the bodies. After a minute woodfire finally put the bodies in a place that not a single soul will see. They walked down the stairs into the lab. “This place is bigger than expected.” Scootaloo said.
“Yeah who know C.O.R had cash to burn.” wood said
“May I remind you that the COR has been growing in power and wealth since 1945.” Spike informed over the radio.
“Ok, spike any idea what we're looking for?” Scootaloo asked Spike
“Anything related to the space program. And if you can manage it find something related to the guns we need to stop the guns from getting to them.” Spike said.
“Wilco, we’re entering the labs now.” Scootaloo said to Spike.
As the 2 entered the room they saw an abundance of guards, some pony, some dragon and a few changelings. “Good we're not out of place then.” Scootaloo thought as her partner was looking around for a map or some form of navigation tool.
“Here the lab and the supplies room.” woodfire said in a whisper to Scootaloo.
“How do you know where they are?” Scootaloo asked in curiosity.
“You see this right here this is a map and it said the lab and the supplies area is on the 3rd floor below us.” wood said in a mocking tone.
“Yeah I can see that.” Scootaloo said annoyed.
As the 2 made it down the hall they saw an increased number of guards as they got closer to the stairs.
“Spike there seems to be a lot of guards in the area.” woodfire said over the radio.
“Good that means you're on the right track.” Spike said.
As they made it to the 3rd floor they went 3 halls to the left and found the storage room. They went in the room and found a file on what equipment was being delivered. Scootaloo stored it in her sable bags and got out of the room. Then they walked to the lab and found that the needed 2 key cards to get in.
“Shit, we need keys, of course we do.” wood complained.
Spike, we need 2 key cards, any idea where we might find some?” Scootaloo asked.
“Hold, ok the scientists are in their bed chambers right now.” spike informed.
“Thanks Spike, lightning out.” Scootaloo said as she looked up at wood.
“Where are we going to find where the eggheads sleep.” woodfire said in irritation.
“think if you're a scientist and you live in a place you work in where will you be?” Scootaloo asked.
“I’d probably be as close to the lab as possible.” said wood.
“Exactly, they have to be nearby, look around.” Scootaloo order.
The 2 were looking for 25 mins now and finally found the bed quarters. Then they entered the room seeing that 3 scientists were sleeping. Scootaloo was looking for the key card, when she saw it, it was on the scientist that was sleeping. She turned to wood and asked, ”How do you what to play this?”
“Safe, we’re in too deep to stop now.” woodfire said, pulling his knife and slitting the scientist’s throat. Scootaloo followed wood’s example and did the same to the other scientists.
“Poor bastards, you were in the wrong place at the wrong time.” Scootaloo said in a sadden tone.
“Spike, we got the key cards and were heading to the lab now.” Wood said over the radio.
As they entered the sight that greeted them was shocking. It was a large, white room with 4 rows of panels that seemed to be connected to the big screen at the end of the room. There were some filing cabinets in the room.
“Scootaloo, I’ll keep watch, you find the files on the space program.” Wood said, after awhile of looking, Scootaloo found a file on the space program.
“Hopefully this is all we need.” Scootaloo said in a cheerful tone.
Woodfire walked over to Scootaloo and said “Good work now lets go.” As they turned around they saw 2 guards pointing their weapons at them. Without thinking, woodfire pulled his gun and shot the 2 guards dead. The alarm went off and Wood immediately regretted his actions.
“What the fuck was that! Now the whole base will be on are ass.” Scootaloo said in a piss off tone. She then radioed to Spike.
“Sir, the cover has been blown.” Scootaloo informed Spike.
“How!?” Spike asked.
“someone thought it was a good idea to shoot a couple guards.” Scootaloo answers.
“Shit, get out now!” spike ordered over the radio.
As the 2 we're running through the halls. They saw 5 armed guards. A firefight followed suit. Scootaloo fired her AK-74u at one of the guards, all 3 rounds she shot hit their target. Putting her attention on another she aimed at one’s head and fired blowing his head off with her shot. She then pulled her knife and tackled the 3ed guard and brought down the knife to his lower abdomen slashing it across his stomach then she put the knife in her victim's skull. Woodfire put a shot in between the eyes of one of the last 2 guards. Then with one throw of his knife it embedded itself in the guards throat. He then retrieved the knife and both operatives walked up the stairs fighting every step of the way.
“Heads up. The cops have been alerted and are armed to respond to a terrorist attack.” Spike informed over the radio.
“Thanks for the heads up but we'll be long gone before they arrive.” Scootaloo said as she fired a round at a guard in her way.
They got to the top floor and were going to leave but their was a group of guards at the exit. “we don’t have time for this.” Scootaloo said as she pulled a frag grenade, pulled the pin and rolled it over to the assortment of guards in front of them. She heard one say oh fuck before being blown to bets all over the floor. Scootaloo and woodfire ran out the door to a nearby home where they stashed a cart. Woodfire pulled it meanwhile Scootaloo was hiding in the back.

“So that's what happened in the outpost” Scootaloo said to spike.
“Wood what the fuck were you thinking that shit could of fucked up this whole Op” Spike said to woodfire with venom in his voice.
“Sir, I” woodfire was cut off by Spike
“No twilight dammit, you could have gotten Scootaloo killed with that stunt you pulled and not to mention, now they know that we’re on to them now, so thanks so much!” Spike said with anger.
“Scootaloo you're going to be sent with Gray cloud to go see a contact that can help us take down the arms dealer.” spike informed.
Yes sir, may I ask what will you be doing? Scootaloo question.
“Gears and I will be looking up more information on the rocket they're going to launch.” Spike answered.
C.O.R research outpost
0200 hours, October 11, 2010
“So the culprits were not captured?” garble asked the corporal.
“No sir, they escaped.” the corporal said in worry.
“Go and get me the outpost’s security officer corporal” garble ordered.
“Yes sir.” the corporal said, as he walked away to get the security officer.
“Garble was waiting for 10 mins before the security officer showed up. “So you're the one responsible for this failure.” garble asked.
“Yes sir.” The officer said in a nervous tone.
Garble pulled out his Makarov pistol and shot the officer in the leg. As the officer collapsed in pain, he screamed getting a couple looks from the clean up crew.
“Do better next time you, got it.” he said with authority. As garble walked away he hummed to himself as if he had fun.
Author's Notes:

I hope you enjoyed and plz comment any criticism you have in the comments. cant in prove when you don't know what your doing wrong.

Spike, and Gears
0715 hours, October 12,2010
“Why the fuck dose it have to be the desert” Gears said inspecting his AUG to make sure its clean.
“Hay at least we're not stuck in the cold like Cloud or Scoots.” Spike said.
“Is that right? We were both cold blood so it makes sense we get sent here.” Gears said.
“So who's your kid? Only thing I know is that you adopted them.” Spike asked, changing the subject.
“Her name is Glittershell she’s the best every time I’m up in my head being a fucking sad sack, I look at her and that gets me out of that.” Gears said with joy in his voice.
“Ha, it’s weird seeing you so excited talking about someone.” Spike said with a chuckle.
“Yeah she saved my sorry ass. When I needed it. We just got back from the asylum, I thought you were dead and I had the rest of the year off. I was doing all sorts of shit to get my mind off you. Until I saw her she was crying in an alley and had no place to go, so I made a place for her to stay. We spent more and more time together and I completely forgot about you. 6 months later, I adopted her.” Gears said to Spike with a happy tone.
“Well shit I guess she came around at the best time then.” Spike said.
“You have no idea.” Gears said.
“Heads up we have C.O.Rs rolling up.” Gears said as Spike and himself hid from sight.
The 4 COR soldiers got out of the vehicle and checked it over making sure nothing was banged up. As the soldiers were inspecting the truck, they didn’t see the 2 alliance soldiers walk up behind them. As one was looking at the tire he was grabbed from behind and had his throat slit with such speed he barely noticed it happening. As one fall the one who was checking the gas tank, was having his temple at the side of his head being stabbed. The final 2 were talking about the day and how uneventful it was. As the 2 talked they didn’t hear a gun being lined up to take a shot. One pull of the trigger and a bullet went in one soldier and out the other.
“One shot, two kills beat that Spike!” Gears said in a challenging manner.
Oh you want to challenge me, fine I can beat that in my sleep.” Spike said in a cocky tone.
“Well better prove it then, the lab is just ahead of us” Gears said.
As the 2 hid the body in the truck. They started to move up through the roadway and made it to a set of stairs going under ground. They decided to spit up. Gears took the stairs while Spike kept to the ground level. As Spike walked through the base trying his best not to get caught. He found two guards just sitting there looking at the sun. The two guards were approached by what appeared to be a commanding officer. They were told to get back to work. As they got up they noticed the creeping dragon but before they had a chance to respond a throwing knifes was already logged in their windpipes. The CO turned around only to be met with a bullet in their head.
“That was close, now for that lab.” Spike thought to himself. Spike pasted a lot on his way to the main lab. The one thing of note was a couple of train tracks going from south to the north.
“Gears do you copy? I'm at the lab.” Spike said over the radio.
“Yes I read you. I’m going to wait by the train tracks just in case we need a quick escape.” Gears said
“Wilco, I'm going to get the info from the computer and head your way.” Spike said.
As Spike entered the lab he accessed the lab's computer and put a harddrive in it. Spike began to download the files on the rocket's equipment and what it was designed for. After downloading everything the computer had on the rocket, Spike got the harddrive and began to walk out when the alarm went off.
“Shit! Gears what did you do?” Spike asked in a deadpan.
“Nothing, they must have found some bodies some were.” Gears responded
“Well fuck. Gears hold your position. I’m on my way.” Spike said.
As Spike exited the room their men all there with SMG and Assault Rifles. Spike pulled out a concussion grenade and threw it in the middle of the group. Once it went off Spike shot everyone with a couple of bursts from his rifle. He reloaded his Famas and continued to fight all the way to the train tracks. After Spike reached the tracks he saw that Gears was in a firefight with 15 other people. He was holding his own but he needed help. Spike took out a frag grenade and throwed it at the largest group he could find. Spike heard the enemy yell “grenade!” before being blown up with 4 others. As Spike shot 3 of the soldiers. Gears capitalized on the distraction and shot 3 more as the numbers withered down to 4 left Spike and Gears wasted no time on finishing them off. Gears shot 2 in the head with his AUG. as Spike stabbed one in the neck and shot the other with a 1911. As they had a little break they heard the train coming. They got the idea to escape the lab site, they got ready to hop on the train. COR guards were on their way but spike and gears got on the train before anyone could stop them.
“Ha ha you fucks won't take us today.” Gears said in amusement.
“Well we got the info lets hope we don’t need anymore” Spike said.
“Hay that wasn't so bad was- FUCK!” Gears said make Spike look at him in confusion. Then spike heard something that made his blood run cold. A helicopter was in the air chasing the train. The mounted machine guns on the hellow, was spinning up and was pointed at the duo. They quickly took cover. As the rounds were making large holes in the train cart. Gears saw a M72 law rocket launcher.
“Hay spike you see that.” Gears said pointing to the rocket launcher.
“Yeah!” Spike answered.
“Grab it and blow that fucker out of the sky!” Gears said.
Spike was sure that this was stupide but will pay off if they pull it off. He went for it. He threw his Famas on the ground and ran to the law rocket launcher. Once Spike grabbed it and he lined up the sights and waited to get a lock on the air vehicle. As Spike heard a telltale sign that he had a lock, he fired and it hit the helicopter. After that Spike was lying on the floor of the train just breathing in and out. Trying to calm down.
“You tried to?” Gears' question lifted him up to his feet.
“You have no idea.” Spike answered.
“Ok this is are stop.” Gears said, as they jumped and rolled off the train.
“Ok let's get to the LZ. I think I've had enough of Saddle Arabia for today.” Gears said.

“So let me get this straight, you want me to decrypt these files so we can see what they're doing.” Woodfire said
“Yeah, you are a tech expert, so decrypt them. see what you can find.” Spike said
“Fine, this should be fun.” Wood said
“Just get it done.” Spike said
Gears was looking at a photo of his daughter and him at the beach. He smiled at the memory and said “ Don’t worry sweetie dad will be home soon.”
“Are you talking to a picture.” Spike said to Gears.
“No, and Spike here's a tip don’t sneak up on me.” Gears said.
“It's ok if you miss your kid, in fact I’m sure she misses you too.” Spike said.
“Thanks Spike , sometimes I get worried that I might not see her again.” Gears said.
“It’s fine. sometimes I get worried that I won’t see Applejack again.” Spike admitted
“I hope this op ends soon. I can’t wait to see home again.” Gears said.
“Me and you both brother.” Spike agreed.

“So your Spike’s contact?” Scootaloo asked the mare.
“Yes, your JSOG?” she asked them.
“Yeah we are.” Scootaloo answered her question.
“Good follow me.” the mare said
“Hey lady what's your name?” Scootaloo asked
“Daring-do” she said, getting a look of surprise from the private.
“This should be good.” Scootaloo thought to herself.

Into the Cold Pt 1
Frozen North, middle of nowhere
Scootaloo, and Gray Cloud
0800 hours, October 12,2010
Scootaloo was following Daring-do to a small camp with a lot of arm creatures. There were all three tribes along with some changelings, dragons and griffins. Scootaloo had a bad feeling but decided not to say anything. Walking past a few tents they finally came to the raid camp.
“So let's get this straight, we help you, and you get your men to help us fight the C.O.R.” Scootaloo said.
“Yes, that's the arrangement, now, we are fighting the two enemies, the defectors and the crystal empire.” Daring-do said
“The defectors are the ones who sided with the enemy. We will strike on them first then we hit the empire.” Daring-do informed
“So what's are first move?” Scootaloo asked
We will hit their water and food supplies, they get it from the empire, But the food is kept in an outpost south of here.” Daring said.
“We hit the outpost and the empire has no place to supply the defectors food.” Sootaloo said
“Exactly we’re going to strike in the cover of night, so we can group up at the southern gate.” Daring-do said
“Ma’am if I may, my tribe and I did raids on many other tribes. If we get in and take out the commander and their radio, then we can place an explosive on a barracks and we can take the outpost with little resistance.” Gray offered.
“Ok well do that then.” Daring-do said, agreeing with the plan.
“Good we won’t be killed going in.” a tent guard said
“Ok, now let's wait till nightfall then we attack.” Daring-do said.
A short walk away from the tent. “Never heard you talk.” Sootaloo said
“It is not my speech but my might that is being tested.” Gary said
“Ok but can you try to be less noticeable I don’t know but this place feels off.” Scootaloo said in a whisper.
Ok, but let's not do anything that were regret later.” Gray said to Scootaloo
I know but still watch your six my gut tells me something's wrong and that's never wrong.” Scootaloo said
“Instinct is good but if Lieutenant Spike trusts her so we can too.” Gray said
“Ok but be careful.” Scootaloo said
Frozen North, Daring-do’s war camp
Scootaloo, and Gray Cloud prepping for the assault.
1600hours, October 12, 2010
The day was uneventful Scootaloo was getting looks from everyone in the camp, she decided not to say anything, so when the time came for her and Gary to go and attack the camp she got excited to find that it was time to go and fight. “So it's time to attack the outpost.” Scootaloo said a matter of factly.
“Scootaloo come in.” Gears said over the coms.
I'm here, we're going to help Spike’s contact with a problem of hers.” Scootaloo told Sargant over the radio.
“ Remember we can’t let the Sombra know we're helping the rebels. If he knows then were to have a lot of shit to clean up.” Gears said
“Got it they won't know were here.” Scootaloo said.
“Ok I’ll keep you posted on anything that comes in.” Gears said.
“Ok thanks.” Scootaloo said
“Oh and one more thing kid I heard what you did in that Lab you have a heart kid, Gears out.” Gears said.
“Thanks sarg, Scootaloo out.” Scootaloo said, get off coms as she did she was approached by Gray.
“We are ready for the battle that lies ahead.” he stated.
“Ok then let's not waste anymore time.” Scootaloo said.
As they got into the truck daring-do stepped in and said. “Well be stacked up outside, waiting for the signal. Once you give it we attack, got it.”
“Yes ma’am.” Gary said
“No need to tell me twice.” Scootaloo said
“Ok then rule one, you're no good to me dead rule two, ah what difference will it make you all probably end up dead anyway.” Daring-do said get off the truck.
“Well that was reassuring.” Gray said sarcastically.
“She probably just stressed over this attack.” Scootaloo said, trying to convince herself more than anything.
As the truck started moving they saw a green flash at the camp, but paid it no mind as the car moved farther from the camp. As they were getting to the outpost the truck stopped about fifteen klicks from it. “ Ok you walk from here.” the driver said.
“Ok thanks for the ride.” Gray said.
The truck pulled away and left the two in the snow. The two started to walk to the outpost and once they got there, they saw the outpost wasn't heavily guarded as they were expecting, But they powered on thru anyways. They walked around looking for an opening, once it presented itself, in the form of a pony shape hole in the wall.
“Something is off about this; there should be more guards and stronger walls.” Scootaloo said.
“Isn’t this a good thing?” Gray asked.
No, if you're giving supplies to others who fight for you, wouldn't you assign more guards.” Scootaloo stated bluntly.
“We’ll ask questions later, let's get this done.” Gray said.
“Fine but I don’t like this.” Scootaloo said.
Once the two got into the outpost, they spotted two guards behind the tent they were Talking to each other as Scootaloo got closer to them and she could hear what they were saying. They were flirting with one another and things were getting heated pretty fast. She decided to let them have their fun.
“Why didn’t you eliminated them?” Gray asked.
“They are distracted.” Scootaloo said with a blush on her face.
“What do you mean?” his question was immediately answered by a soft, quiet moan. His face turned beet red as they both agreed never to speak of this event again. As the two made their way to the radio tower they saw that it was defended by four guards, thinking quickly Scootaloo got out her suppressed 1911 and aimed it at one of the guards heads.
“Get out your suppressed weapon and aim at one of them.” Scootaloo order.
“Yes ma’am” Gray said as he got out a suppressed CZ75 and aimed it at one of the other guard.
As the two aimed they counted to five before firing their weapons. As the two guards dropped to the floor the other two had no time to react as they were met with an orange Pegasus and a gray earth pony tackling them and slitting their throats.
“That was a risky play, not bad.” Gray said.
“Thanks, now let's put the bomb, find the barracks, and kill the commander.” Scootaloo said.
As the two walked they found the commander’s office and took a look inside. They saw a mare with a scar over her left eye, looking at the mare was not pleasant to say the least. Scootaloo walked over to the window and knocked on it lightly, ducking so the commander won’t see her. The commander walked to her window and opened it looking for the culprits only to be pulled out the window and have her neck broken by a Pegasus mare with violet eyes and no remorse behind them.
“That's two objectives, now for the third.” Scootaloo said.
As the two walked to the barracks, they decided to put explosives at three sides of the barracks. As they did so they saw two guards, the love birds from earlier, were walking outside the outpost and into the frozen north. “What are they doing?” Gray wonder.
“That's not important, are you done with the charges?” Scootaloo asked
“Yes, we're all set.” Gray said
“Good let's get a fair distance away and watch the fireworks.” Scootaloo said

Into the Cold: Pt2
Frozen North, Crystal Empire outpost
Scootaloo, and Gray
1730hours, October 12, 2010
Scootaloo and Gray walled to the other end of the outpost. As they got there they got the charges detonator and got ready to pull it. “This should be easy” Scootaloo said
“Let us hope we can prevail.” Gray said
“We got more men and better weaponry, relax.” Scootaloo reassured him.
“Ok then let’s begin the attack.” Gray said pressing a couple buttons then flipping the activation switch. Within seconds the radio tower and the makeshift barracks were blown up and in flames. They can hear a battle cry from where they were no doubt Daring-do's men. As the attack was underway, Scootaloo and Gray pulled out their AUG with an ACOG scope and joined the fight in fronted of them. Scootaloo was was the first to make it she saw three guards and shot them with her AUG, she aimed at one of the guards and she fired putting an end to the dragons life focusing on the ponies in front of her, one was an earth pony other was a pegasus, Scootaloo took cover as the ponies decide to fire back. She took out a flashbang and threw it at the two pony guards. Once it went off Scootaloo got out of cover and with a quick hoof she put them both down with four shots, two in each. After that Gray came to her side.
“ what has happened here?” He asked.
“Where were you?” Scootaloo questioned
“I was helping a team of rebels take down a sniper tower.” Gray answered
“Well that's convenient.” Scootaloo said
“Let go, we have many men to kill.” Gray said
“Ok, come on let’s move.” Scootaloo said
As the two were fighting through the outpost. They got to the last room that hadn't been checked and pulled their guns and aimed it at the guards that were in there, they all serenaded with no incident. As Scootaloo and Gray led them out of the room they noticed that they were no more fighting just the ground litter with corpses. As Scootaloo came out with the prisoners, Daring-do appeared and said “we are not taking prisoners, execute them.” Scootaloo was taken aback by Daring’s orders, as the prisoners with fear in their eyes looked at Scootaloo with pleading eyes as if they were asking for her help. She couldn’t help but feel guilty over what happened next she saw as the guards who serenaded who didn’t even put up a fight were gunned down right in front of her. She pictured her son beside her and called her a monster and never wanted to see her again. She began to tear up but before she started she heard Gears on the radio.
“Scootaloo come in.” Gears said.
“Yes sir” she said in a shaky voice.
“Scootaloo what's wrong?” Gears asked worried
“With all do respect sir, You won't get it” Scootaloo said
“Try me.” Gears said
“Fine.” Scootaloo said just to amusing him for a bet
“It's just some of the things that we do, I wonder how my son will react if he knows what we do.” Scootaloo said.
“I get it. I wonder if my daughter would think I’m a monster If she found out” Gears said.
“Wait, you have a daughter. I didn’t see you as the type” Scootaloo said.
“Yeah life is full of surprises, now what's the status on the enemy outpost?” Gears asked
“Secured sir, the rebel leader orders to execute everyone they come across.” Scootaloo informed.
“What the fuck!” Spike said over the radio
“Spike what is it?” Scootaloo asked
“She’ll never order anything like that.” Spike said.
“Are you sure that she hasn't changed since the last time you talked?” Gears said.
“Positive, Scootaloo Stay on task but keep your eyes out, my contact might not be the one you meet.” Spike said to Gears then addressed Scootaloo.
“Ok will do, but who do you think we will meet then?” Scootaloo said worry in her voice.
“I don't know, but have a look around and see if who she says she is.” Gears said
“No we don’t know who but they're helping us for the meantime let's use that for now and deal with it later.” Spike said.
“You know what. Scootaloo it’s your call.” Gears said.
“Ok got it.” Scootaloo said.
Frozen North, Daring-do war camp
Gray, and Scootaloo
2000 hours, October 12, 2010
“Gray, let's have a look around to see what we can find.” Scootaloo order in a whisper.
“What?!” Gray asked
“Not so loud, Spike thinks we didn’t meet the contact or that she was compromised either way we need to know.” Scootaloo said.
“Fine lets go but let’s be quick.” Gray said.
“Ok I’ll look over here and you look in the tent.” Scootaloo said
“Got it.” Gray said
As Gray was walking through the camp trying not to be suspicious. He finally reached the tent and was stopped by the two changelings. “Ok how do I get by them?” Gray thought to himself. He walked around looking for a way to distract the guards, once he saw the perfect opportunity to get them out of the way.
“I saw those two guys steal food from the cart.” Gray told a group of hungry people. It instantly gave the affected he wanted. They got angry and pulled the guards away to fight them.
“That was easy.” Gray said, as he got into the tent. He looked for anything he could find on Daring-do. He stumbled across a letter written by general Garble the letter said:
“To Chrysalis
From General Garble
This is an interesting development two ponies want to stop are plans we can't have that can we. nevertheless have them take ms darlings camp out then send them to the gulag. I will cut this letter short because I have far more important things to do. Goodluck to you my dear oh and happy hunting.”
“Dammit, I have to warn Scootaloo.” Gray said to himself.
As he walked out the tent he saw armed guards with full armor, C.O.R armor. He immediately pulled up his sidearm and fired it into the guards heads as he did so everyone in the camp pulled out weapons and aimed them at the earth pony. He picked up one of the guards body and used it as a meat shield. He picked up his rifle and shot at the crowd of armed creatures, he fired and killed three for them before he ran out of ammo in his clip, he pulled a grenade’s pin from the guard’s body and tossed him to the left tent, it blow up and killed the two that were taking cover behind the it. After that he realized that they were hiding behind the tent and processed to shoot through them. He keeped fighting through the camp. Then he came across Scootaloo with Daring-do aiming a gun to Scootaloo’s head.
“Drop your weapons and bow to your queen.” Daring-do said, as she went back to her black Ki-tin and got a lot taller, revealing the former queen of the changelings.
“Fine.” Gray said as he dropped his guns and picked his hoofs above his head.
“Good, GUARDS take them to the gulag in kelpie keep.” Chrysalis ordered her remaining men.

“Well at least we know she’s not Daring-do, now I don’t have to stop reading those books to lightning blitz.” Scootaloo said.
“Forgive me Scootaloo.” Gray said sadly
“Don’t be, this would have happened if we were caught or not.” Scootaloo said reassuringly.
“I put my faith in the spirits to help us in some way.” Gray said.

Spike, Gears, and Woodfire
0700 hours, October 20, 2010
It has been 7 days 10 hours and 30 mins since Scootaloo and Gray has reported in. Spike and Gears had an Argument over who's In Charge. After Gears was in a corner feeling guilty over telling Scootaloo to look into the camp.
“Hay guys look at this!” Woodfire yelled
“What is it?” Spike asked
“I've been looking into the files, to just incase Spike’s contact couldn’t come through with the goods and I found where he is.” Woodfire said.
“ This is the best news we had all week.” Spike said
“Is there anything on Daring-do?” Gears asked, trying to distract himself with anything.
“No but the gun dealer does have a history with her.” Woodfire informed
“Ok well what his name?” Spike asked
“Caballeron, he might have something on what happened to her.” Woodfire said
“Exactly what I was thinking.” Spike said
“Ok, let's get this motherfucker” Gears said
“Yeah, woodfire, Gears get your gear we're moving on this immediately.” Spike said.
“Got it.” Woodfire and Gears said in unison.
As the three got ready. They were picking their weapons for this mission. Spike got a commando with a masterkey attachment and a china lake grenade launcher. Gears took a Galil with a dual mag and a suppressor attachments and a spas 12 shotgun, and woodfire picked a AK-47 with a flamethrower attachment and a Olympia with incendiary rounds.
“I can sense a theme with your weapons.” Gears said to Woodfire.
“What can I say I love watching things burn.” Wood said in a happy tone.
“You know I had a guy like you in one of my squad in the war.” Gears said
“Let me guess they were just as handsome as me?” Woodfire said
“Nope, just fucking crazy.” Gears said with a chuckle
“Ok where are we going anyway?” Gears asked
“Were going to a place called Gelding Grotto.” Spike informed
“Got it. Let not waste time.” Gears said
“You ok Gears?” Spike asked
“Yeah shit happens and we lose people all the time.” Gears said, trying to get Spike to back off. But Spike wasn’t fool
It’s about Scootaloo and Gray isn’t it? Spike asked Gears.
“You think I’ll will be used to this by now losing someone, but for some fucking reason I just thinking of her and her never being able to see her son again.” Gears said
“Oh you're just thinking about Scootaloo.” Spike said, with a teasing tone.
“Don’t you fucking dare” Gears said nearly shouting
“Hay if you had a crush it's fine, but I guess that doesn't matter now.” Spike said happy but quickly went somber.
“You know even if she was still alive she wouldn’t like me anyways. Now let go I’m tired of being sappy.” Gears said
“Ok” Spike said in a bet shocked
As they got to the helicopter were Woodfire was waiting. He told the pilot the quadrants and got in the back of the chopper and yelled at Gears and Spike to hurry up, as they got in Woodfire said “what the fuck took you so long anyway?”
“Nothing so shut the fuck up before I throw you out of this bird.” Gears said annoyed
“Don’t mind him, someone stole his plushie when he was little.” Spike said jokingly
“Yeah yeah lets just do this.” Gears said, still annoyed.
“Fine, pilot let's get moving.” Spike order
As the helicopter flew to the location, Gears turned on the radio and the song sympathy for tirek was playing by Trotting Stone was playing, gears started to quietly humming it so no one would hear him. As the chopper ride went on Woodfire spook up he said “what if they're taking prisoners, can we rescue some.”
“Only if their ours.” Gears said
“Ok it just never been on this type of mission before.” Woodfire said
“It's pretty obvious do to your the shitteys person to have on a stealth op.” Gears said in a deadpan
“How long will this take us to get there anyway.” Woodfire said
“ETA: 4 hours” Spike informed, To Woodfire dismay.
“I think we can interrogate Caballeron to see if Scootaloo and Gray is” Spike said
“You think their alive” Gears as a bet hopeful.
“I can’t say for sure but if they are well learn it from him.” Spike said
Gelding Grotto
Gears, Spike and woodfire
1100 hours, October 20,2010
As the chopper got closer to the ground. Everyone got out and checked if they had all their gear. After that they walked up a head where they saw C.O.R soldiers guarding the entrance to the cave. gears pulled out a his Gaili and aimed it at one of the guards as soon as gears put a round in one head he put his attention on the other, he shot the remaining guard in the head and moved out of cover as spike and woodfire followed him into the cave as they walked they saw a group of soldiers in the room they walked in and Gears decided to pull out his spas 12 and yelled “open fire!” as Gears, Spike and Wood were shooting everyone in the room. The few that tried to fight back were filled with holes like most of their conrod. After the blatant massacre. Gears, Spike and Woodfire were all walking down the hall and as they got to a room where there were a lot of men with heavy armor, Gears thought for all of 2 second before.
“Woodfire, light them up!” Gears said
Without warning woodfire was bouncing up and down he pulled out a gas tank and put it in his flamethrower attachment and he shouted “BURN BITCHES BURN HA HA HA.” gears and spike saw the carnage he reaped, they questioned his sanity for a bet, after that the duo started talking.
“Maybe we should help the C.O.R. They look like they could use the help.” Gears said jokingly
“Yeah, hey you over there don’t get burned!” Spike said in mock assistance
As Woodfire finished the last stragglers and the three of them went into the last room. Caballeron was on his hind legs with his fore legs up to signal that he surrendered, he was pinned to the wall by Gears.
“What happened to Daring-Do?” Spike questioned Caballeron
“Please let me go. I will never do this again.” Caballeron said
“You think we're going to fall for that innocent act of yours!” Gears yelled in his face
“Fine you got me but I do rather stay alive then be killed.” Caballeron said
“So give us what we want and I will guarantee your safety.” Spike said
“What do you want to know?” Caballeron said
“Hold on, ok now” Gears said as he cases a spell that compels someone to tell the truth
“So what happened to daring-do?” Spike asked Caballeron
“She with another two ponies in a gulag.” Caballeron answered
“Who are the other two ponies?” Gears asked
“A orange pegasus and a gary earth pony.” Caballeron said
“That might be them.” Woodfire said.
“Where is this gulag?” Gears asked.
“It's southeast of here, in a cave like this one you can’t miss it.” Caballeron said
“Good.” Spike said, giving a node to Gears as he did so. Gears knew what that meant so he pulled out a knife and stabbed Caballeron in the heart and left him for dead.
“So we got a rescue mission.” Gears said.
“Looks that way hay looks like you might have a chance after all.” Spike said with a chuckle.
Author's Notes:
I decide to give Scootaloo more attention in this story.

Kelp Keep
Gears, Spike and woodfire
1300 hours, October 20,2010
As the trio arrived at the gulag, they came across two stallions; the two men appeared to be Daring-do’s men. Gears walked up to them, carefully. As the two saw them they pointed their weapons at the trio, they aimed back. As the standoff was going strong Spike decided to break the ice.
“You two a part of Daring-do’s resistance?” Spike said.
“Winds, they look like alliance forces.” One stallion said to the other that was named winds.
“You’re right but still we don’t know this could be a trap.” Winds said
“How about we introduce ourselves, I’m Spike and these two are my friends Gears and Woodfire.” Spike said to the duo.
“I’m Care Root, and this is my coltfriend Curly Winds.” Care said to the three
“You don’t have to say that, they don’t need to know.” Winds said
“What are you two doing here anyway?” Gears questioned
“We aren’t telling you.” Winds spat at Gears.
“Why you little sh-” Gears was cut off by Spike
“Don’t mind him but if you could lend us a hoof and help us get are friends back? that will be appreciated.” Spike said to the duo
“Who’s the friends?” Care asked
Scootaloo, Gray and Daring-do.” Spike informed
“Hay, we're here for her to.” Care said
“Care!” Winds said.
“Well then you can lend a hoof then, come on.” Spike said
“Wait let me speak to Care in private for a bet.” Winds said
As they walked a short distance away, Gears walked up to Spike and said “ Spike we don’t even know who these ponies are, these guys could shoot us in the ass when we’re not looking.” Gears said
“I interrogated enough people to know when someone is lying and they are not lying.” Spike said.
“Fine, but if anyone gets killed because of them, I swear I'm smoking them.” Gears said in annoyance.
“That's fine by me.” Spike said
As the couple came back they both looked determined. Winds was the first to speak “well help to get are leader back but your friends are secondary to us.”
“Then we were at an agreement then.” Spike said.
“Ok, we don’t have the option of stealth so we got to be metathetical in are planning.” Spike said
An hour later, the now five men got everything they needed for this attack. As the two spit into a group of two, one started back to radio info over the comms. Gears and Spike were group one, group two was comprised of Winds, and Woodfire.
“Group Two, you go in through the front, Gears we’re going to find another way around and enter where they won’t expect.” Spike order
As Gears and Spike made their way around, they found a side door with armed guards on alert to stop anyone from coming in or getting out. Gears pulled out his Gaili and fired it at the guards, Spike doing the same as both guards were filled with bullets. Spike and Gears walked into the gulag and they were looking for the cell as this was happening, they began to talk.
“So what are you going to do when you see scootaloo, kiss her, flirt with her or something else.” Spike said playfully
Gears blushed and said “this ain't the time to flirt now lets rescue some soldiers.”
“Ok but how did you get this crush? You only saw her for a day.” Spike asked
“Sometimes it just takes a look.” Gears said hiding his blush
“Oh the love at first sight type of thing I got it.” Spike said mockingly
“You know I hate that bullshit.” Gears said annoyed.
“Yeah but it's fun to piss you off.” Spike said jokingly
“Ha, whatever come on let go and find Scootaloo and Gray.” Gears said with a chuckle
Kelp Keep
Scootaloo, and Gray
1500 hours, October 20, 2010
Scootaloo and Gray were in a cell. The alarm was blaring for an hour now and they were working on a way to escape. Scootaloo was taking the initiative, she got a wire and a screwdriver and working at the lock when she started to hear gun fire coming closer the guards were shooting at a familiar duo, it was Gears and Spike they were using every trick in the book to kill them it was a blood bath to say the least.
“SCOOTALOO, YOU IN HERE!” Gears yelled over the gunfire.
“OVER HERE SERGEANT!” Scootaloo shouted back and got his attention immediately.
“Spike this is the right place.” Gears said excitedly.
“Ha, go get her tiger.” Spike said in mock encouragement.
“Knock it off Spike.” Gears said to him before looting a guards body for the keys to the cells. He tried several keys before he opened the cell. As Scootaloo walked out of the cell, Gears stared at her. She looked right back, she noticed a blush appearing on his face as he watched her, he started to feel embarrassed realizing that was staring.
“Hey, you two can look into each other's eyes later we have a job to do.” Spike said in a commanding tone.
“Right, let's get a move on.” Gray Cloud said.
As everyone armed themselves Scootaloo pulled Gray to the side.
“Do you know why the sarge was looking at me?” Scootaloo asked
“No clue but he might fancy you.” Gray said
“Not possible, I mean who would want to date me.” Scootaloo said sadly
“He might want to, look, don't question it, he will tell you when he’s ready. If he does” Gray said
“Ok but let's get moving and get to work.” Scootaloo said.
As the four are going through looking for their HVI they find a small room where she is being held. The group radioed to Winds and got him and Woodfire to get to their position. After they all meet up at their rally point, they discuss on how they can get to the room without being killed. Then scootaloo had an Idea.
“Hay does anyone have any incendiaries? I know what we can do.” Scootaloo said with a smrek.
Woodfire spoke up “I got some.” he said happily.
“Ok what are you planning exactly?” Spike questioned.
“I set the fire trap and once it goes off, we go in swing.” Scootaloo said.
“Base but a good plan, Good job Scootaloo.” Gears complemented.
“Thanks sarge.” Scootaloo said.
As she got the incendiaries, Scootaloo crawled through the room trying not to get caught. She put the fire bomb under the chair and in the colored dust bean. Scootaloo crawled back to the group and got her equipment that Gears was holding on to. A bet of waiting, the C.O.R soldiers triggered the incendiaries and the room was partially set ablaze some of the fire was green.
“It so beautiful” Woodfire said in genuinely amazed
“Open fire!” Gears yelled.
As the six of them were firing on burning and non burning me alike, as the room was cleared everyone rushed in the room and gun down the three men holding Daring hostage.
“Clear” Spike said
“Clear” Gears said
“Daring been awhile.” Spike said to her.
She spit blood out of her mouth and said “yeah it has, hasn’t it.”
“Gears call for extraction” Spike ordered.

Scootaloo, Gears and Spike
0600 hours, October 21, 2010
Gears was looking over Daring, and Gray to make sure that their wounds weren't fatal. As he was finishing that up Gears saw Scootaloo and his heart began to race, keeping a brave face he walked up to her and asked her to come with him.
“Ok, do the cheek up and ask her out, it’s that simple.” Gears thought.
As they walked to the side where Gears set up a little medical staton.as he asked her to remove her shirt. His face went beat red when he asked that. She obliged and he started to look her over for anything,
“H-how are you doing Scootaloo?” Gears asked nervously
“I've had better days, how about you? You're as red as a tomato.” Scootaloo said
“I’m fine, tell her you idiot.” he responded with a nervous chuckle, the last part he said to himself.
“Ok, he’s kind of cute.” Scootaloo thought to herself.
“So how are things at home, if you don’t mind me asking of course.” Gears said nervously.
“Not at all, I have a son named lightning blitz he can be kind of a hoof full at times.” Scootaloo said
“Yeah what kid isn't, my daughter she can be a real pain at times but what can you do?” Gears said
“What's your daughter’s name?” Scootaloo asked
“Glittershell. She never gets into too much trouble but still.” Gears said to her
As they talked Gears was examining and taking his sweet time trying to make it last as long as possible, once he finished looking over her fronted he went to her back. He immediately noticed that her wings had scars all over them.
“How did you get those scars?” Gears asked in curiosity
“Those, asked Spike if you want the story but let's just say it's not a pleasant feeling.” Scootaloo stated.
“Sorry for asking.” Gears said in a sad tone
“It’s fine plus it’s not a bad memory, it's just I don’t like telling it.” Scootaloo said
“Ok still sorry.” he said with sad eyes
“so adorable.” Scootaloo said under her breath
“So what are you doing later.” Gears asked
“You know trying to stop the C.O.R” she said to him
“Oh yeah right um stay safe out there.” Gears said as he helped her put on her shirt.
As Gears walked to Spike, he had a deadpan look on his face and said “what the hell was that!”
“I know, I know I messed up.” Gears said
“Look I didn’t think I had to do this but you leave me no choice.” Spike said
“What are you going to do?” Gears asked
“You’ll thank me later.” Spike said with a smirk
Right at that moment Scootaloo was having her own conversation with Gray.
“So what do you think.” she said to Gray
“I think you should have shot him in the dick it would have been less painful to watch.” Gray said
“What!” Scootaloo said confused
“He tried to ask you out and you shot him down.” Gray said
“No I didn’t I just said that I’m doing something later” Scootaloo said
“Fine but if he asks you again, give him an actual answer.” Gray said in annoyance.
“Everyone lesson up!” Spike yelled to get everyone's attention.
“We will be moving to take chrysalis down. Once she is dead we can focus all our attention on Garble.” Spike informed
“Ok lets kill this bitch and be done with it.” Gears said.
“No not you we’ll go you and Scootaloo are going to find more intel on his second in command.” Spike said, hiding his grin.
“Who is this second in command anyways?” Scootaloo question
“Gilda” Spike said
“WHAT! She is still alive after all these years.” Gears said
“You got intel.” Spike said.
“Not as much as a friend of mine, we can get information from her.” Gears said
“You and Scootaloo will see your friend and get the intel.” Spike said to Gears.
“Got it.” Gears said
“Now everyone get moving. We got a job to do.” Spike said.
Frozen North, Chrysalis’ war camp
Spike, Gray, and Woodfire
0800 hours, October 21, 2010
The helicopter was landing a far distance from the camp. Spike, Gray, Woodfire, Daring-do, and her two companions get off the chopper. As they were walking to the camp Daring and Spike started to converse with one another.
“how have things been?” Spike asked
“You mean besides spending a year in a labor camp fine.” Daring-do said
“Wait, you were replaced for a year and no one decide to contact us for help.” Spike said
“They probably thought equestria won’t help.” Daring-do said
“Maybe, but still I would try at least.” Spike said
“That's nice of you but by yourself really?” Daring-do said, questioningly
“I guess I’m not as smart as I look.” Spike said jokingly
“Oh look he knows something about himself.”
As the group got to the camp. They hid nearby and saw everyone in the camp was sporting COR armor and weapon systems. Spike and Woodfire were looking for their target. They found her, she was looking at a crown that was made from what appeared to be bones.
“Well that's not creepy at all” Woodfire said
“We have to take her down now.” Gray said with a hint of angry in his voice
“Ok give the signal and will engage” Daring-do said to Spike
“Strike!” Spike said
Everyone started to open fire and the enemy began to fight back. As the battle raged on, the former queen, chrysalis was running to a cropper. Spike was the first to notice. He threw a grenade and took out four C.O.R troops, he saw an opening and went after her. As he got her in his sights he was going to take the shot and finished this, but a COR soldier grabbed his gun and they started to fight. Spike was socked in the face by the stallion, spike used the kinetic energy to do a roundhouse kick. As the stallion was dazed, Spike pulled out his knife and stabbed the soldier in the temple. As the stallion fell to the floor. Spike ran to where he saw chrysalis last only to see a helicopter fly into the distance.
“DAMMIT!” Spike yelled

“So your friend does your friend work here.” Scootaloo asked Gears
“It’s better if you see for yourself.” Gears said
Ok then. I hope we don’t have to rush through this.
As the two got to a door Gears said “it's time to go in”
As they entered a mare in a wheelchair was staring at the two of them. “Took you long enough.” the mare said with a smirk
“Good to see you rainbow.” Gears said.

Seeds of betrayal
Canterlot, Veterans nursing home
Scootaloo, and Gears
1230hours, October 21, 2010
Scootaloo was in shock. How does Gears know this old mare? What is she to him? Why do I care so much about this? Scootaloo had a lot of questions.
“Hay Scootaloo you still with us.” Gears asked in concern.
Yeah, Yeah just confused. How do you know her again? Scootaloo asked.
“She’s a friend. We fought during the war.” Gears said.
“Wait, you fought during the war, how?” Scootaloo question.
“He’s older than he looks kid, you know you should tell your mare friend your age, Gears.” Rainbow dash said.
“Mare friend! We not- I mean it not that I don’t- it just- I’ll shut up now,” Gears said with a beat, red blush on his face.
Scootaloo with a similar shade of red on her face said, “no me and him aren't a thing. Look we need information on Gilda the griffon that’s what Gears said you know a lot about.”
“Yeah, I got what you need.” Rainbow dash said
“Ok, can we get that intel, mainly how she got to this point.” Scootaloo said.
“Yeah sure, Gears you fill in the blanks on some of this.” Rainbow said.
Griffonstone, Gilda house
Rainbow dash, Gears, and Gilda
0600 hours, October 4, 1970
Rainbow dash got out of the Jeep and walked up to the griffon’s home as she was about to enter she heard a voice. She turned around and saw a stallion with a dark purple coat and a faded pink mane.
“Gears is that you?” rainbow asked
“Yes, it is me, ma'am.” he said
“You look a lot less scaly than usual,” she said
“Yeah, I just made a spell that can hide things that aren't too appealing to others.” Gears said.
“You know you need to stop caring about what everyone thinks and just be yourself,” Rainbow dash told him
“fine” Gears said
As that conversation was over, rainbow knocked on the door and after a few minutes Gilda opened the door. As she led them inside, Rainbow committed that she hadn't been inside her home.
“Ok, so mission is, get a sergeant that has intel on celestial’s secret weapons, and grab a document on a scientist.” Gilda said
“Why do we need intel on a scientist?” Gears asked.
“Command didn’t tell us why they just said to do it.” Gilda said ,
Gilda is right, we got to do this Gears no matter the reason.
“I don't like it.” Gears said
“We're supposed to get shit done, nothing else.” Rainbow said
“Yes, ma'am” Gears said begrudgingly
“How about some rum Dash.” Gilda said
“Yeah, pass that shit.” Rainbow said
Gloom Forest
CDR. Rainbow Dash, CPL. Gears and Gilda
1250hours, October 4, 1970
The three were dropped at the entrance of the forest, then the three started walking through the forest doing their best not to get caught. As the three got to the base camp, they saw a lot of celestial’s soldiers. They all went and got better positions, Gears got to a hill to snipe with his kar98k while Rainbow got to the far left side of the camp with her M1918 B.A.R and wait for the signal, Gilda was going to the far right to give the signal. As Gilda gave the signal rainbow started her attack, she fired her gun at the guards. She shot through the two of the guards and killed them as that was happening. Gears were shooting his rifle, covering rainbow’s six. He shot a soldier that was charging at Rainbow dash. Rainbow was fighting but then she heard a shot near her head she ducked and then she looked behind her, she saw a stallion with a round in his head.
“That's a clean shot.” Rainbow Dash committed before continuing to fight.
Gilda was fighting her way through the camp. She saw the Solar soldiers going to leave the camp; she saw a red barrel near the entrance. As the Solar soldier's vehicle was leaving, Gilda time it as they got close to the exit she shot the barrel causing an explosion blowing up the truck and killing everyone inside it. As the numbers of the enemy soldiers dwindle, they all Fought harder, as rainbow dash and Gilda meet up in the middle.
“So you seem to be as crafty as ever.” Dash told Gilda.
“You know me rainbow, I’m a fuckin beast,” Gilda said
As the two kept fighting, Gears was taking shots at everyone who was getting in the way of the objective. As rainbow and Gilda were at the target building. As they entered the building, they saw an assortment of bodies as they went to the end of the building they saw the HVI. The sergeant shot the two guards he had with him, as the sergeant walked to Gilda. Rainbow was eyeing him intently trying to see what he will do.
“Rad videt' tebya, Gil'da,” the sergeant said
“What did he say?” Rainbow asked.
“He said we should get moving,” Gilda said
“Ok, what's his name?” Rainbow question.
“Menya zovut Garbl” the sergeant said.
“Gilda translation.” Rainbow said.
“His name is Grable,” Gilda said.
“Ok, well ask can he speak equestrian?” Rainbow ordered.
“YA mogu, no ne pozvolyayu yey ob etom znat'.” Garble said.
“No, he can’t.” Gilda said.
“Shit, ok let's move.” Rainbow said
As the three walked out, Gears was walking towards them then Gears said. “Ok we're clear, let's move before more yellows show up.”
“Net der'ma, ty, blyad', idiot!” Garble said.
“zatknis', pytalis' pomoch'” Gears said angrily
“Wait, you can speak dragon Gears.” Rainbow said shocked.
“Well, looks like you don’t have to translate anymore, Gilda.” Rainbow said
“Ah yeah, lucky me.” Gilda said, sarcastically.
“What, I thought griffins don’t like unnecessary risk.” Gears said.
“That right, you're an unnecessary risk. How do we know you can even understand everything he says?” Gilda said ,
“My father was a dragon, and equestrian is my second language. I had to learn it.” Gears said.
“That Good enough for me.” Rainbow said.
“Fine, let's just get a move on.” Gilda said.

“Well, that was interesting, but not what we need. Can you tell us more about Gilda and Garble.” Scootaloo said.
“Yeah, but can you get me some water I'm thirsty?” Rainbow dash said.
“I got.” Gears said
As he left the room rainbow told Scootaloo, “can you help him, he still using that fucking spell and he didn’t look comfortable when I mention it. So please, not for my sake but for his.”
“I’ll try but no promises.” Scootaloo said.
“Thanks kid.” Rainbow said.
Gears entered the room with a glass of water and handed it to Rainbow. As she got it she drank from it before saying “ok where was I.”

the Intel
Warehouse
Spike, Woodfire, and Gray Cloud
1230 hours, October 21, 2010
Spike, Daring-do, and their men all arrived at the warehouse after a failed attempt on chrysalis’ life. As they walled in defeated. It surprised Spike to see a familiar lavender alicorn in the middle of the room.
“princess on deck!” Spike yelled immediately. Everyone was saluting the princess.
“At ease, this is merely a quick check to see if you all are doing your job,” Twilight said, not really convincing anyone on her real reason.
“Can you give us a moment?” Spike asked his crew.
Everyone went outside, not wanting to be a part of what would happen in the room. As they left. Twilight signal her guards to go with them. As they left, they were giving looks at Spike.
“So how is the investigation going?” Twilight asked nervously.
“I know why you’re here mom or do you prefer princess.” Spike spat
“Look, I know you’re still angry after what I did, but please understand I didn’t mean it.” Twilight said.
“You said I was a waste of your time and that you have more important things to do.” Spike said angrily.
“I didn’t mean it; I was just busy, I couldn’t focus, and it irritated me that I couldn't have any time to myself, but there was still no excuse for what I said.” Twilight said.
“Yeah, there isn’t.” Spike said in a deadpan
“But am so sorry for everything.” Twilight said apologetically
“It doesn't matter, you should get going. The COR won’t take kindly to a princess of a country they are at odds with being here.” Spike said. Trying to get her to leave.
“Ok, but before I go I have two things to say, one I have information on the three targets, two I want to ask if you want to get out of this.” twilight said.
“No, I'm seeing this thought to the end. Why are you asking?” Spike said.
“I don’t like the fact that you put your life on the line. I don’t want you to do this in fact if I didn’t need the best on this. I would have never put you on this.” Twilight admitted.
“Well, I’m not abandoning my men. plus were understaffed as is.” Spike said.
“Please Spike, I don’t want you to get hurt.” Twilight said
“I know what I signed up for and remember you forced me into this.” Spike said
How? Twilight said, confused
“I had to do something to get your attention. You barely gave me any time, hell sometimes I felt like an unpaid intern than your son.” Spike yelled at her
“I’m sorry I know I should have made time for you and I will never forgive myself. But I want to make time for you now. Please work with me here.” Twilight said.
“Fine, after this is over, we can have dinner at my house. My wife is an excellent cook.” Spike said.
“Thank you, Spike. who’s the lucky mare?” Twilight said with a smile.
“You will just have to find out.” Spike said with a cheerful tone for a first time in a while.
“Ok, well here’s the intel on the targets stay safe, Spike.” Twilight said.
“Thanks and I will.” Spike said.
As she handed the file over to her son, she then took her leave. As she left, Spike pulled out a paper and began to read. After a while he pulled out a marker and underlined all the information that was important to the mission.
“Hay, so what are we going to do now, anyway,” woodfire said
“We are going looking for a scientist who has intel on what is a key part of garble’s plan.” Spike said
“May I ask, where should we start?” Gary asked.
Forbidden Forest
Spike, Daring-Do, and Gray Cloud
1400 hours, October 21, 2010
“The scientist is in one of the temples in this forest. We will be split up into two teams. Alpha, and Bravo. Alpha is Daring, Gray, and myself. Bravo is Care, Curly, and Woodfire bravo; takes the temple of Tlatelolco. Alpha; takes temple tehuti.” Spike informed the crew.
“Why are we splitting up, anyway?” Woodfire said.
“The intel wasn’t exacted on the location of the scientist, but we know he is in one of the temples.” Spike said
“Ok then we were almost there.” Care said.
As the train, they were on, slowed down just enough so they could jump off, after that the six of them broke off into their teams of three. alpha going north and bravo went south. As Spike and his two companions were moving through the forest as the three got to a clearing in the trees, they saw eighteen COR soldiers taking things out of a cargo crate.
“What do you think is in those crates?” Daring-Do said in a whisper
“No clue, but whatever it is, we need to find out.” Spike said with the same tone
As Spike and Daring finished Spike pulled out a grenade he pulled the pin and rolled it to a group of four near the edge of the clearing. One of them noticed the grenade and screamed “grenade” in dragon before being blown into pieces by it. With fourteen left. Spike begins to open fire on the group, Spike killed two more as he did so, Daring used her mac-11 and shot two other gray was the most successful he fired his m16 at the and killed six men at that spike and daring picked off the remaining four at the end.
“Ok let's check the crate.” Spike said.
“Good idea.” Daring said
Spike checks the crate and is shocked to find equestrian weapons. As the two are staring at the weapons, Gray was looking around trying to find something that can be a trap once he found nothing. He walked to the duo and said, “we should load up and get moving less we want to end up like thesis men.” he said gesturing at the corpses.
Gray is right, we got to move, Daring take pictures, get any ammo you can find and get moving.” Spike said
“Ok” Daring said
As they wrapped up there, they continued up the path and got to the temple. As they got to the entrance, daring immediately recognized the place. She quickly galloped to spike and pulled him back. As she did so, a trap went off, sending arrows into the other wall.
“How d'you know that was there?” Spike asked suspiciously.
“I had one of my adventures here way back when.” Daring said
“Ok, so you know how to disarm these traps then.” Gray said
“Yeah, if I Can remember all of them.” Daring said.
After several traps Daring was exhausted it had been a long time since she raided a tomb or bin on an adventure. As the three got to the last trap, they saw a couple of C.O.R guards impelled by the spikes.
“The ponies who built this are fucking sadistic.” Spike said
“Yup, but let's not dwell on that and get the egghead.” Daring said tiredly
As the three made their way around the trap, being careful not to fall into the spikes. Gray was not with them. Spike called his name, but there was no response. They decided not to hold their breath and went on without him.
“Ok were here.” Spike said.
“Stop right there!” Daring order as she pointed her gun at a griffon with a white lab coat
“Please don’t hurt me I will give you anything you want.” the griffon said, trembling
“What garble's interest in you?” Daring asked.
“I’m a chemist, he needed me to stabilise a compound he had.” Griffon said.
“What kinda compound.” Spike said grabbing him by the neck.
“I don’t remember.” the Griffon said fear in his voice
“You're lying.” Spike barked
“I swear I'm not.” the Griffon said terrified by the dragon
“Fine, let's say we believe you. What else do you know?” Daring said calmly.
“All I know is that an old stallion was the one to make it.” the griffin said at the brink of tears
“Is that all?” Spike said in a low tone.
“Yes, please let me go.” the Griffin said
As spike was contemplating it he felt a wet sensation at his feet, he looked down to see that the griffin pissed himself. He knocked the griffon and took him with them.
“We are going to turn him into twilight, see what she can get from him.” Spike said

Scootaloo and Gears
1310hours, October 21, 2010
“Hay gears can we talk?” Scootaloo said nervously.
“a-ah, yeah” Gears said with the same nervousness.
The two walked to the corner of the room and started to chat. “I don’t know how to ask this, but I’m just going to come out with it. Why do you hide how you really look?” Scootaloo said
“Oh, well, I don’t want to get into it, but all am going to say is everyone prefers this.” Gears said gesturing to himself.
“Ok, if you don’t want to talk now it's fine, but if you ever do, I’m here.” Scootaloo said
Gears only blushed and walked to his crippled friend. Scootaloo thought she might have embarrassed him when in truth Gears was flustered on her offer. “If a mare takes interested, that means they like you, right?” Gears asked rainbow.
“Of course, you're just overthinking it, just be cool and be yourself she will fall for you yet.” Rainbow said
“Gears sorry if I overstepped.” Scootaloo said.
“Oh, no you didn’t, it's ok.” Gears said.
“Really?” Scootaloo question
Yeah, it's fine and thanks, few others ask me about that.” Gears said nervously
“Now that you filles are done being sappy, let's get to it.” Rainbow joked.
“Ok, three months later we went after the scientist that had a link to celesta.” Rainbow said
Tall Tale Bay
Rainbow dash, Gilda, and Garble
0500 hour, January 1, 1971
The helicopter dropped everyone off aside from one, Gears decided to be an eye in the sky and provide covering fire when needed. As the helicopter hovered overhead, Rainbow, Gilda, and Grable walked to the boat near the dock. Once they got there, they were about ten men with the latest weapons that bets can get. As the men were waiting for the trio to pick a vehicle. Once they made their decision, they got into a boat.
“Listen up thanks to the defector we got info on Celesta's weapons but we need one egghead alive now keep your head’s down and we will go home safe.” Rainbow said
Everyone yelled a battle cry and got on their respective boats, as Rainbow was going to the steering wheel then garble appeared next to her.
“mogu ya sest' za rul' (may I take the wheel)” Garble said
“Gilda!” Rainbow said
“He wants to drive.” Gilda said
“Fine, go nuts.” Rainbow said
As she walked out the cockpit, she got on the turret that was mounted on the left, Gilda was on the right of the boat and with the same guns. As they got moving, there was a little chat.
“kuda my idem (where are going)” garble said
“We're going to hoof point, it's northwest of here,” Gilda said
“eti idioty ne znayut, zachem nam deystvitel'no nuzhen etot uchenyy. (these morons don't know why we really want this scientist.)” Garble said
“Yeah, wait till they see.” Gilda said.
“See what?” Rainbow said abet suspicions.
“See how awesome we're going to be.” Gilda lied.
As the boat started to move, everyone had a mixture of excitement and dread. This will require them to leave no evidence of their actions this day as ordered by princess Twilight herself they can’t afford to mess things up. As the boat got away from the dock, there were Celestas’ defenses coming in as they started to shoot at the boats. Rainbow was the first to retaliate She started firing the mounted MG-42 at the defenses. She saw five enemy boats with a sun cutie mark on them. She shot one with the MG she was using and barely managed to destroy it. Gilda on the other claw was shooting at the another boat.
“The sun paint is making this really easy.” Gilda said
“Don’t underestimate your enemy, Gilda.” Rainbow said
“Whatever thesis losers can’t beat us.” Gilda said
As the two were fighting a boat that blindsided them, pushed up against them and men started boarding the boat. As they got on, Rainbow got off the turret, lifted her M1 garand, and fired on the boarding party. There were six men on that board, they were focusing fire on the cockpit. Rainbow capitalized on their lack of focus and fired a round into one of their heads as that occurred and the remaining five charged her. Rainbow dodged the first swing and countered it by bucking the pony’s head that dared to attack her. The four men continued their attack on Rainbow, she once again countered. She pulled out a combat knife and stabbed the dragon combatant in the head, killing him instantly. “Three left!” Rainbow said. She saw them pointing guns at her. She picked up the dragon’s corpse and used it as a shield as they riddled the body with bullets trying to kill the pegasus behind it. She pulled the pin on a grenade that was on the corpse and kicked the corpse to the three soldiers and said, “he’s your friend, not mine.” as she did that the grenade went off killing all three men in one move.
She was walking back to the turret but before she got there, the pony she knocked out earlier tackled her to the ground and was about to kill her, but just then a gun was fired and the pony had a hole in his eye. He fell on Rainbow, which she promptly threw the body to the side and looked up at Gilda, who fired the round.
“Why didn’t you help me when six guys bored are boat?” Rainbow question.
“I was busy taking out the PT boats.” Gilda answered
“gde zdes' (were here)” garble said.
“He said were here.” Gilda said
“I can see that. Ok let's get the fuck egghead and get out of here.” Rainbow said
As they made their way to the lighthouse, they traded carefully once they got to the lighthouse. They saw a friendly helicopter above with a familiar looking purple stallion with a Kar98k. The weapon's muzzle was smoking due to it being fired recently. The group found out why extremely quickly they saw the other men, along with at least twenty corpses on the ground. A soldier walked up to the three of them and addressed rainbow.
“Commander, we have secured the outside and are waiting on your go.” the soldier said
“We're going in, Garble you take point.” Rainbow order.
As the trio entered the lighthouse, they noticed a lack of resistance. But they continued to move, though the home as they got to the only room in the entire place. As they entered the room, they saw a stallion in a lab coat holding his hoofs up as garble was walking to the stallion.
“gotovy postavit' drakonov naverkhu.(ready to put the dragonlands on top.)” Garble said.
“Yes, I am.” the stallion said with eagerness.
“Gilda.” Rainbow asked.
“He asked are you ready to help.” Gilda said.
“Ok time to get out of here.” Rainbow said.
The Gas
Forbidden Forest
Woodfire, Care Root, and Curly Winds
1410 hours, October 21, 2010
As the group of six split into two groups of three, Spike, Daring, and Gray Cloud went north while Woodfire and his other two partners were going south to hopefully get a scientist that was in one of the temples.
“So what are you guys, anyway?” Curly Winds asked.
What do you mean? Woodfire answered his question with a question.
“You know. The crew, the guns, the hit list in your hideout.” Curly Winds said.
“I can’t say much, but what I can say is that this is important that we succeed.” Woodfire said,
“Look, I will fight the good fight the good fight no matter where it takes me, but it doesn’t mean I have to like it.” wind said.
“It is not the fact that you won’t like it, it's because if the dragons find out it might cause a war and that's not what we want.” Woodfire said.
“What do you mean?” Care asked timidly
“Look, it's up to Spike to tell you not me,” Woodfire said.
“Ok, but I will be more willing to do this if I knew more about this, and what was that thing with the princess?” Wind asked.
“Ok that I have no clue on what that was.” Woodfire said.
“Hold, take cover behind that log.” Woodfire said.
As the trio hid behind a fallen tree, they saw a group C.O.R soldiers moving barrels with a biohazard symbol on them. Woodfire decided to attack. He shot the barrel that was being loaded into the truck. It erupted, causing the gas to go everywhere on the team of COR soldiers that were in the gas's vicinity. Started to grow sickly green boils on their bodies. They were desperately clawing at their bodies, trying in vain to get the boils off as the boils exploded the soldiers fell on the floor dead.
“Holy shit Holy shit Holy shit.” Care screamed, almost bursting into tears.
“It's ok care I’m here, don’t worry.” Wind said, trying to comfort his colt friend.
“What the hell man why the fuck did you shoot that.” Wind yelled at Woodfire.
“How was I supposed to know that it was going to do that!” Woodfire stated.
“Look, we need to take this to the chopper and see what is in this barrel.” Woodfire said.
“What did you not just see what the fuck just happened?” Wind said.
“I did, that’s why we need to find out what exactly this stuff is and what they plan on doing with it.” Woodfire said.
“We probably should. Whatever monster would make something like this should be killed.” Care said with a bit of anger over what he saw.
“You see, your colt friend has the right Idea.” Woodfire said.
“Fine, but were not putting it on board with us it can be airlifted.” Wind said begrudgingly.
As they marked the area with a flair. The helicopter was on its way, but that wasn't the only thing that was on its way. As the trio was waiting, there were gun shoots going over their collective heads.
“ENEMY REINFORCEMENTS!” Woodfire yelled.
As the COR force that was converging on the clearing, there were a lot more changelings in the enemy force than usually. As Woodfire was taking cover, he was a bit too excited. The others could easily tell why he was so. There was a flamethrower with the men that were killed by the gas earlier. Woodfire grabbed the fire base weapon and started rain fire on the COR that was converging group. The force started from ten to five then to none as the charred remains of soldiers scattered across the floor Care and Wind were a bit scared of how fast Woodfire managed to clear out the COR soldiers. As Wind walked to Woodfire, he noticed the crazed look in his eye, something akin to a predator catching its prey.
“Are you ok Wood?” Wind asked, a bit fearful.
“Yeah, I love flamethrowers, I used to build them when I was a little colt so I know how they work.” Woodfire said with excitement.
“Ok, why don’t you just keep it then.” Wind said jokingly.
“Oh, I plan to.” Woodfire said.
“Hay, have any of you noticed the fact that there was a lot of changeling than normal?” Care questioned.
“Yeah, that is a bit weird unless they have a hive nearby.” Woodfire said, snapping out of his fire craze.
“We see your flair and we’re coming in.” Gray cloud said over the radio.
“Well, we’ll have to bring it up to Spike when we’re back at the warehouse.” Woodfire said.
As the helicopter was coming in for a landing. Gray opened the door to let everyone in. as he saw the carnage that was made by Woodfire. Gray fell a bit sick but chose to ignore it. He has seen much worse in his life.
“So what has happened here?” Gray said.
“Nothing much, just help me secure this barrel.” Woodfire said.
“Where are Spike and Daring?” Care asked Gray.
“They're still at the other temple with the scientist.” Gray said as he helped Woodfire tie the barrel.
“So we don’t have to gotta go to the other temple then?” Wind asked.
“No, you don’t.” Gray said.
Fifteen minutes later, Spike, Daring and a lab coat wearing griffon were walking to the helicopter. As they got their Daring ushered the scientist in, as Spike was getting in, he saw a canister hooked up to the helicopter.
“You mine explaining what that is.” Spike said, gesturing at the barrel.
“I’ll explain on the way.” Woodfire said.
“Gray, where did you go?” Daring question the earth pony.
“I thought Woodfire would need help.” Gray answer.
“Ok, well don’t do that again.” Spike said.
“Yes, sir.” Gray said.

“Hey, I don’t think I heard your part of the story.” Gears said
“Well, now you can, but you know the ending.” Rainbow said.
Unfortunately, I do. Gears said.
“What do you mean, what happened between you and garble?” Scootaloo asked.
“You’ll hear it from rainbow then me.” Gears answered.

“You’ll see.” Gears said with a smug expression on his face.
“What the hell does that mean.” Gilda said, annoyed.
“It means you all are waiting for me.” Twilight said as she walked into the tent.
“Princess!” Rainbow said, saluting at twilight.
“Gears, why are you just standing there? Salute the mare.” Gilda said while she was saluting the princess as she said so.
“Hay twi do you want me to salute you.” Gears said, knowing the answer.
“No, Gears you don’t.” twilight said
“Wait, what’s going on.” Gilda asked, confused
“Twilight and Gears are good friends.” Rainbow said
“You're my friend to rainbow, you don’t have to be so formal with me.” Twilight said
“It’s a force of habit.” Rainbow said with a shrug
“Ok, the mission I want you four to go on is, get celestas super weapon, that the scientists informed us you will split up into groups of two one checks one spot and the others will check another.” Twilight said

Ye Ole Oubliette, shipping yard
Gears and Gilda
1300 hours, February 1, 1971
As Gears and Gilda got to the area where they supposedly had the super weapons here. They were overlooking the shipping yard and saw a lot of containers, but they were looking for the solar symbol on one container.
“So how did we get put on this mission, anyway?” Gilda asked, knowing the answer, do to garble telling her beforehand.
“Garble said we should be the one to deal with this and I agree, so I asked twi to put us on this.” Gears said.
“Ten enemy combatants, we need to clear this area.” Gears said
Gears creeped on one of the solar guards, grabbed him, flipped him over his back and stabbed him. Gilda on the other hand stabbed a solar guard on his shoulder, pulled him to face her, and then she shot him with her tokarev TT-33 pistol. As the other eight heard their other two members were dying. They started to shooting the duo.
“Took you losers long enough.” Gilda yelled at the solar guards.
“Clear them out.” Gears said
As the skirmish when underway. Gears pulled out a flashbang, pulled the pin and tossed it at the solar soldiers. As four of the guards we blinded with a flash grenade. Gears opened fire on the four ponies. He killed the farthest ones, then he grabbed the close one. Gilda was shooting at the remaining four, then Gilda was shot in the shoulder by one of the guards. Gears pulled out a pistol and shot two into the two guards, killing them instantly. He then tossed the guard he was using as a shield at the last one. He proceeded to spit fire down at the two, incinerate them instantly.
“Clear, thanks for nothing, Gilda.” Gears said.
“Hey, I helped.” Gilda yelled at Gears
“You got one while I got nine.” gears said offing his hoof to help her up. She slapped his hoof to the side and got up herself. He snorted in annoyance and walked to the container and processed to open it. He walked in and saw nothing.
“It’s a dry hole, no weapon here. Come on Gilda, we got to assist rainbow.” Gears said
“I don’t think you will.” Gilda said as she hit gears on the back of his head, knocking him out.

As Rainbow and Garble got to the hill overlooking the camp, rainbow was taken aback by the fact that there was no one there. Not a single guard, As the two when down the hill and slowly walked into the base.
“This can't be the place? Can it?” Rainbow questioned.
Ty ne mozhesh' byt' takim glupym, i vse zhe ty zdes'.(you can't be that stupid and yet here you are.)
“What was that?” Rainbow asked.
“Nothing” Grable said trying to make his equestrian sound broken
“Garble try to make it seem like you know how to speak are language.” Rainbow said
As they looked everywhere trying to find something that could help them find the weapons. As they came up to the fount of the base, they saw Gilda pointing a gun to Gears’ head.
“What the fuck is going on here!” Rainbow said with a mix of worry and angry in her voice.
“Isn’t obvious she betrayed you.” Garble said, pointing a Winchester M12 at Rainbow.
“What the fuck this is not the time to fuck around.” rainbow said angrily
“We are not messing with you dash I sorry, but I have to do this.” Gilda said in a sad tone
“You fuckin bitch, why would you do this to us.” Rainbow yelled at her
“The Griffons are dying, Rainbow and It because of this stupid war, no It because of you princess she sends us on suicide mission and for what, so we can add to the numbers of die in this war.” Gilda said
“She would never do that if it was for the great of good.” Rainbow argued
“You only say that because she’s your friend, but what about us, huh? I used to be the only one who you could rely on, but now you don’t see how she uses your rainbow.” Glida said
“No, you were supposed to be my friend, but this isn't what friends do to each other.” Rainbow said
“Fine rainbow, I wanted to avoid this, but you left me no choice .” Gilda said
“What do you mean you're not making any sen--” Rainbow was interrupted by a gun shot as she was shot in the back by garble paralyzing her, he laughed.
“I told you she wouldn’t listen.” Garble said
“I’m sorry.” Gilda said
“Lets go, my friend. We got plenty of work to do.” Garble said

“I won’t and sorry for making you dig up some old memories.” Gears apologized
“Don’t be Gilda is a snake who was playing us the whole time. I prefer to take her down myself, but as you can see, that's an issue.” Rainbow said, gesturing at the wheelchair.

“It’s not like anyone can hurt me here, you worry too much.” Rainbow said.
As Gears and Scootaloo were walking out of the building and to the helipad at the fount of the castle. As they were walking, gears got closer to Scootaloo and put his hoof around her with the reddest blush on his face. Scootaloo said nothing, just letting him walk beside her. As they got on the helicopter, they began to converse with one another.
“So Scootaloo when this is over I was thinking dinner if you want to that is if not that's fine too.” Gears asked nervously.
“Sure, but after you show me how you look without the spell you have on.” Scootaloo said
“What I can’t” Gears said with a bit of fear in his voice
“You can Gears you don’t have to hide from the world pulse do you really want to keep me wondering what you look like.” Scootaloo said.
“Ok, but later in a more private place if that's ok with you.” Gears said reluctantly
“Ok, well it's a date.” Scootaloo said with a smile

“We know why Garble and Gilda are doing this.” Gears said.
As the three walked in Spike Quilly walked to the two of them and asked what they learned. After being informed Spike was thinking on what he just heard, “I’m guessing you want to take out Gilda then?” Gray Cloud asked Gears.
“She helped Garble cripple my friend, of course I want to take her down.” Gears respond.
“Ok then will split into groups of four. Gears Scootaloo woodfire and Gray Cloud, you four go for Gilda, me daring care root and curly wind will go after chrysalis.” Spike informed everyone
“Sir, may I be put on the team for the queen” Gray cloud requested
“You want to take chrysalis down.” Spike asked.
“Yes, sir” Gray said
“Ok, Curly with Gears and his team” Spike ordered
“Can you please tell us what this is exactly?” Curly asked, thinking it was the right time to.
“What is?” Spike asked, wondering what the stallion meant.
“You know this team, why are we doing this if anything else.” Curly said.
“That's need to know right now, but what I can tell you is that we're the good guys here.” Spike said, trying to stop his line of questioning.
“That’s not a straight answer.” Curly said.
“You're not a straight guy.” Gears quipped.
“Ha ha hilarious.” Curly said sarcastically
“Curly, we need to do this, you can trust me.” Daring-do said.
“Fine, nevertheless, it will be nice if we know why we're doing this,” Curly said.
“Now it's time to interrogate the griffon we got.” Spike said.
“What griffon?” Scootaloo said.

Spike and Scootaloo were setting up the room for the interrogation. As Scootaloo was setting up the tarp, she was confused on what exactly will happen to need a tarp anyway. As she finished setting it up, she turned around to see Gears and Spike talking well. More like arguing to be more accurate.
“I don’t think she can go through this.” Gears said
“I think she can do this what; you don’t think she has the stomach for it.” Spike said
“She shouldn’t have to.” Gears said a bit angry
“What's going on.” Scootaloo cut in
“Hey Scootaloo, you want to stay out of this.” Spike asked her
“No” She answered
“Scoots, this isn’t something that is easy to do.” Gears said.
“I’m not backing out of this.” Scootaloo said firmly
“There's no shame in doing so.” Gears said.
“Gears don’t worry I’m an adult mare I can do this.” Scootaloo said trying to reassure him
“I’m just worried you might not like what you have to do.” Gears said.
“I got him let get started I much rather get some sleep so can we hurry up.” Daring said.
“Ok everyone not going essential to the interrogation, leave the room.” Spike order.
As everyone else left, gears walked up to Scootaloo and told her to talk with him when she was done. Then he left with the others. Now it was just Spike, daring-do, the Griffon, and Scootaloo.
“Scootaloo remove the gag.” Spike instructed. She promptly did so.
“I don’t know anything else, I swear.” The griffon said
Scootaloo tied him to the chair. She did so with a bet more reluctant this time.as she finished, Daring came up with a cart of blades, syringes, and a car battery with jumper cables.
“What are we going to do with those?” Scootaloo asked, staring at the objects.
“Motivate him to tell us what he knows.” Daring said
“What!?” Scootaloo said, going pale as she did so
“You ok Scootaloo?” Daring asked in concern
“Yeah.” Scootaloo said with a shaky voice

Scootaloo, Spike, Daring-do
2150 hours, October 21, 2010
Spike had been confident that the Griffon had a lot more information that he wasn’t telling them. So Spike decided to interrogate him before handing him over to twilight.
“Ok, I don’t think you’re telling us the entire story, I’m going to give you one chance to tell us now.” Spike said in a calm tone
“I-I told you I don’t know anything.” the Griffon said, nervously
“You're lying to us.” Spike said with an aggressive tone
“I’m not.” the griffon’s voice cracked as he said so.
“Scootaloo grab a blade and find out if he is.” Daring order her
Scootaloo walked up to the cart and picked up a tactical knife and walked back to the bound griffon.
“Now tell us or our friend might do something hasty!” Daring said
“Or you can give us what we want, and I will personally guarantee your safety.” Spike said.
“I don’t remember o-k.” the Griffon said
“So you do know things.” daring-do said
“I don’t remember anything.” the griffon repeated himself.
“Scootaloo.” Daring said
Scootaloo, getting the hint, shakily walked up to the griffon and shoved the knife in the griffon’s talon. He screamed from the pain of a six-inch knife going through his talon.
“Do you remember now?” Spike said calmly
“They’re going to launch a rocket on December, 25, that's all I know about that.” the griffon blurted out.
“Ok, I believe you. Now where is queen chrysalis.” Spike question with an emotionless tone
“I don’t know.” the griffon said
“Ok, what do you know about chrysalis then?” Spike asked him.
“Nothing, I swear.” the griffon said
“Bullshit, you have to know something.” spike said in a calm tone
“Maybe Scootaloo can help him remember.” daring-do said
“Scootaloo get something else more painful.” daring said
Scootaloo again walked to the cart and picked up a blowtorch before putting it down and picking up a canister and a rag. “Hopefully we don’t have to use that blowtorch.” Scootaloo thought, trying not to break down.
“No, not that I don’t want that.” the griffon screamed out in fear.
Daring-do pulled the griffon on the ground and grabbed the rag, putting it on the griffon’s face, muffling his cry for mercy. “Scootaloo” daring-do said. Scootaloo understood what the mare wanted her to do. She had to hold back tears as she poured the water on the griffons. As she did after a while, Spike ordered her to stop, as she did, daring picked him up and remove the now soaked rag. The griffon taking large inhales of air.
“Have you remembered anything about are friends?” Spike asked, trying to keep his voice steely.
“The queen wanted me and other colleagues of mine to keep an eye on garble and his movements.” the griffon said, hoping that was enough.
“Ok, now what do you know about garble?” Spike questioned him further.
“Nothing, please let me go.” the griffon said.
“You're lying to use again, Scootaloo teach this guy a lesson.” Daring said.
“Please tell me that's not how she is all the time.” Scootaloo thought as she walked to the cart for a third time and got a syringe of what appeared to be corn syrup, but she wasn’t sure. Deciding not to put the poor griffon through anything permanent, she put it down and got a crowbar from the cart and walked back to the griffon. A look of panic went over the griffon's face.
“What are you going to do with that?” the griffon asked Scootaloo. The griffon’s question was answered after Scootaloo hit his leg with the crowbar twice.
“Ahhhhh!” the griffon cried out in pain.
“You're only making things harder on yourself, answer are questions truthfully and you won’t be harmed.” Spike said with a bit of sympathy in his voice .
“Ok, garble has an extensive amount of labs dedicated to making a chemical weapon.” the griffon said.
“Give us locations.” Spike told the griffon.
“I only know two places.” the griffon said.
“Where?” Spike said.
“Badlands and frond valley.” the griffon said.
“Thanks, but we still have some questions.” spike said.
“Oh, come on why.” the griffon complained.
“Are you going to hold out on information now? Scootaloo!” daring said with authority.
Scootaloo at the verge of tears went to the cart and got the car battery and jumper cables “why why did you have to say that why.” Scootaloo said internally. As she walked up to the hostage and clamped the cables on the griffon's chest and it instantly sent voltes though the griffon's body, leaving a small smell of burnt chicken in the air.
“Thats enough” Spike said
Scootaloo removed the cables and left the tent, streams of tears falling freely down her cheeks.
“You're a monster, a beast what will lightning think of you now.”
“Shut up, he loves me, I'm not a monster.”
“So making a someone talk by torture is not a monstrous thing to do.”
"It was a-a" Scootaloo couldn't finished her sentence.
“You don’t even know how to respond, you're just a monster who tricks others into thinking you a good person but you just a murderer, what about that boy toy why did you say yes.”
“Because he asked, and it's time for my son to have a father figure.” Scootaloo said.
“So you don’t like him so you are just using him for shame”
“No, I’m not using him I’m sure I can give him a friendship he will like” Scootaloo said
You know that not fair, you're using that poor stallion, you are a monster.
He rescue you from the gulag and you lie to him
“I’m not. He didn’t ask me if I liked him just for a date.” Scootaloo said.
“You a monster and a user.”
“Scootaloo are you ok.” a voice said.
“Oh, shit.” Scootaloo said. she turned around and saw Gears.
"Scootaloo, have you been crying?" Gears asked in concern.
"No, I'm fine." Scootaloo said.
"Pease don't lie to me I'm worry about - nevermind just don't lie to me." Gears said,
"oh my twilight, he's actually worry about me." Scootaloo thought.
"wow he like you more than you thought maybe you can rip his hart out now you monster."
"it just what I did to that griffon." Scootaloo said to gears ignoring the voice at the back of her head.
"I get it, the first time I did a thing like that it almost broke me but I had someone to help me get through it, if you need someone to take to Im here for you." Gears said in a reassuring voice.
"ok thanks Gears" Scootaloo said as she embrace Gears. Gears huge back with a blush on his face.
"anytime Scoots" Gears said.

Scootaloo, Gears, Spike.
0400 hours, November 23, 2010
It has only been a few weeks and the teams have made a lot of progress locating key places that might be used as a hideout. Gears and Scootaloo’s relationship has been improving to the pleasure of Spike, who always wanted to help his friend to find love. The Griffon had been given over to princess Twilight and has been able to lend assistance. Scootaloo had been having nightmares ever since the interrogation and gears had been helping her get through them.
“That stallion has been helping you and you still haven’t told him.”
“I know I need to tell him, but I don’t want to hurt him. He has been spending all his free time trying to make me feel better. It will be wrong to just disregard his feelings and leave him heartbroken.” Scootaloo said.
She walked to her friend Gray to ask for some help with this matter. “Hay Gray, you got a minute.” Scootaloo asked the earth pony.
The Stallion in Question walked to Scootaloo to see what she wanted. “What is troubling you, Scootaloo?” Gray asked.
“What isn’t nowadays but what's bothering me the most is Gears liking me not saying his bad I’m just saying tha-” Scootaloo was cut off
“That you don’t know if you feel the same.” Gray said.
"How did you know?" Scootaloo said.
“I can practically smell your confusion from here.” Gray said.
“That obvious hu.” Scootaloo said.
“Look, are you concerned about his well being?” Gray said.
“Yes.” Scootaloo said.
“Then you care you may not be able to tell if you like him the way he does for you, but I mean it when I say you will find out in time.” Gray said.
Gears walked up to Spike and asked him a question “do you think Scootaloo likes me?”
“What?” Spike asked, taken aback by the question.
“do you think Scootaloo likes me?” Gears repeated himself.
“I have no clue, but you give her enough reason to.” Spike said.
“Thanks for the reassurance.” Gears said sarcastically.
“No problem,” Spike said jokingly.
“Ok, but in all seriousness just keep being yourself and you should be fine.” Spike said to him.
“You better be right.” Gears said.
“That's how AJ and I got together.” Spike said.
“Ok, well wish me luck then.” Gears said nervously.
“Hay everyone, I got something.” Daring-do said.
Everyone went to the board to see what Daring found.as they got there; they found a red line connecting to the evidence they have accumulated over the weeks.
“So I found out where Gilda is.” Daring said.
“Where is she!?” Gears said, almost yelling.
“She’s at griffonstone, but you can’t go after her right now,” Daring said.
“Why the fuck not?” That statement angered gears, and it was evident in his voice.
“Hay gears can you calm down, please you can throw a fit later.” Scootaloo said to him, trying to calm down while making fun of him at the same time.
It succeeded he blushed with embarrassment casting everyone to started laughing. He quickly yelled at everyone to focus on the intel that Daring has put together.
“His right everyone, we can laugh at him later.” Spike said.
Scootaloo looking at gears saw that he was looking down. She got closer to him and instead of apologising she said, “you kinda cute when you blush.” This caused Gears to blush even more. She walked away asking herself on why she said that with a blush on her face as well.
“So the scientist that made the gas is still alive. We also believe he knows where the rocket is. Gears, you and your team are going to get the scientist and interrogate him.” Daring informed him.
“Wilco.” Gears said.
As gears got up he felt pressure at the back of his throat before he belched a purple fire came which formed a scroll. They were mixed reactions in the room between surprise on mail coming through fire, and others wonder who it was from. Gears wasted no time and read it. He had an annoyed look on his face. He walked to Spike and showed him the letter spike had the same reaction on his face.
“What is it?” daring asked. Everyone else sharing the settlement.
“Two pieces of information from the princess herself. One involves labs and the other is on a need to know, plus it could be nothing.” Spike said.
What was that, Gears? Scootaloo asked in concern.
“Well, that was Dragon mail. Dragons that learn how to do the spell as send it via fire, but they can also be sent mail too.” Gears explained excitedly .
“What, a dragon, but you look like a pony.” Woodfire said, confused.
“I’m a hybrid.” Gears deadpan.
“Ok that is awesome.” Woodfire said.
“Don’t falter, me.” Gears said with a cocky tone.
“Ego much.” daring-do said.
“Hypocrite.” Scootaloo responded.
“When have I been on an ego trip?” daring question.
“When you write your books.” Scootaloo answer.
“You read them” Daring question.
“To my son, yes.” Scootaloo said.
“Well then, do you want a sign copy for your son.” daring said
“He will love that.” Scootaloo said.
“You two done?” Spike said.
“Come on, we have a job to do.” Gears said.

The team spent the previous day trying to find anyone else that might be connected to the three. They have not found anyone, which is a good sign it means no one is partially high to carry on their work. Gears and Scootaloo have found a C.O.R Safehouse that might have the scientist hiding there. Woodfire on the other hoof was asking Gears a lot of questions, only about fire and nothing else, much to spike’s amusement.
“Hay Scootaloo, Woodfire curly wind come over here I got new pictures.” Gears said.
“Is that?” Scootaloo asked
“Yup, that fucker is right where we want him.” Woodfire said with enthusiasm
“Your right Woodfire now go and check if we have night vision goggles. I got a plan.” Gears said
“What are you thinking” Scootaloo asked
“Cover of night, cut the power and kill anyone between us and the poindexter.” Gears said
“Sounds good.” Scootaloo said
“Scootaloo, do you want to take the frond or the rear, your call?” Gears asked her
“We'll take the rear.” Scootaloo said
“Ok let's get ready I’ll tell Spike tell him we're moving.”Gears told her

1700 hours, November 24, 2010
After Gears told Spike about the mission, they left with the equipment and got to the city. As Gears and Scootaloo went to the Safehouse after they got off the chopper about a hundred clicks away from the target building. As soon as they got there, they told woodfire, who was already in the building, to cut the power. After he did so Curly Wind walked up to them. Gears tossed him a krig 6 with a red dot and a suppressor.
“You're late.” Gears said annoyed
“I had to take a piss sorry.” Curly said sarcastically
“Will you two not fight we got a job to do” Scootaloo said
“She’s right, let’s move, goggles.” Gears said
“Fine, fine.” Curly said.
As the three went in Woodfire had been waiting at the door Scootaloo passed him an AK74u with a red dot, suppressor, and a Masterkey. After that, they began to sweep the building. Gears and Scootaloo opened the door and went in and saw four COR soldiers. Gears aimed his MP5 with a suppressor, a red dot and laser sight. He shot two of the soldiers while Scootaloo shot the other two with her mac-10 with a tactical building.
“That was easy” Scootaloo whispered
“Too easy come on, we still have other rooms to check” Gears said low voice
Scootaloo walked out and was tackled by a COR soldier he grabbed his knife and broted it down on Scootaloo shoulder stable it caseing blood to rush out he pulled it out and was about to come down on her neck but was stopped, being grabbed and stable in the neck by Gears.
“You ok Scootaloo.” Gears said worried
“Bastard got me in the shoulder but I’m good.” Scootaloo said
“Let me look at that.” Gears said as he looked over her wound, he noted to look it over more at the warehouse, then he wrapped it up in bandages.
“Thanks” Scootaloo said
“Don’t mention it.” Gears said
As the two walked cleared the first three floors. Things were going smooth so far Scootaloo stayed behind Gears to keep herself safe Gears was more than happy to help. As Gears entered one of the rooms, he saw dead changelings; about ten all seemed to be caught by surprise. Scootaloo entered shortly after she was shocked to say the least.
“What happened here?” Scootaloo asked
“I don’t know, maybe Fire and Wind came through here.” Gears hypothesize.
“I don’t know it takes a lot more than just two people two kill ten completely by surprise.” Scootaloo said
“I’ve seen crazier.” Gears said
“Ok maybe you can tell me some of them sometime.” Scootaloo said
“I just might.” Gears said with a smile
“Keep playing with him bitch.”
“Shut up” Scootaloo said in her head
Let's regroup with Woodfire and Curly Wind. Gears said
“Yes, sir.” Scootaloo said
Gears and Scootaloo walked up the stairs up to the fifth floor. They saw Woodfire and curly wind stacked up at the door ready to enter. Woodfire signed to Gears that they was two room left to check. Gears and Scootaloo went to one of the rooms that were yet to be checked. They stacked up at the door Gears open the door and saw eight people. Gears shot two holding AK in their hoofs/claws, Scootaloo only managed to shoot one before collapsing do to the adrenaline wearing off. “Scootaloo!” Gears said louder that intended.
“I’m ok just clear the room.” Scootaloo yelled
Gears wasted no time he looked up at a stallion charging him. Gears quickly dodged the attack and with out anytime to take out his knife, he dropped his spell revealing the same pinked mane stallion but with more dragon features, his hoofs had claws connected to them, his tail while it use to look like a normal ponytail now is dragon tail but the most imported is that his sharp teeth we hidin before we on full display, Gears used it to his full advantage. He pounced on the stallion that was stupid enough to charge him. He bite the stallion’s neck and ripped out a chunk. He spit it out and charged the lasted armed hostile doing the same to the griffon as he did to the pony earlier. Scootaloo saw all of this happen. She never thought she would be so scared in her life.
“Holy shit.” Scootaloo said
Gears tied up the last two people in the room. When Gears finished that he then walked up to Scootaloo. She backed away on instinct. Gears couldn’t help but to feel hurt over her reaction. He quickly cast the spell on himself, changing him back to a normal unicorn. He then offered her a hoof which she hesitantly took.
“What was that?” Scootaloo said
“I'm sorry you had to see that.” Gears said with an almost miserable tone.
“Don’t it just surprise me that's all.” Scootaloo lied
Hey look he's a monster just like you.
“We're not monsters, we're just doing what we have to.” Scootaloo said
“You know you're the second pony who hasn't call me a monster and the first to say something like that.” Gears said
“I said that out loud, didn't I.” Scootaloo thought.
“Well you not a monster to me, Gears” Scootaloo said with sincerely.
“Thanks. Your a kind mare” Gears said.
Scootaloo blushed at that and they walked to the lasted room.

Octaca city
Woodfire, Curly Wind
1800 hours, November 24, 2010
Scootaloo and Gears walked to the last room that was down the hall. As the two got there. They waited for Woodfire and Curly wind once the two arrived, Everyone got ready to end this. As the four of them burst through the door they saw about seven men one of which was running Gears and woodfire dropped four men two each. Scootaloo only managed to get one do to her injury. Curly got one, the one that was running was the scientist. He climbed out the fire-escape. Everyone began to give chase, as everyone got in to the ally Scootaloo fell from the pain, gears stayed with Scootaloo and yelled at them to keep chasing them
“I’ll cheek if Scootaloo is ok, go after the scientist!” Gears said
“Way ahead of you,” woodfire said
Woodfire was gaining on the stallion. Then the stallion got into a storage building, then the wall caved in. It was an APC, and it was driving away. Woodfire looked in the destroyed building and there was another. Woodfire got into the APC and Curly did the same. As they drove after the scientist they started gaining then more APC’s show up to help the scientist get away.
“Curly take the wheel, I’m on the gun” woodfire said
Woodfire took the gunner set and started firing on the APC’s. He started to get shot at. a lot of civilians were screaming and running away as this happened. Woodfire was doing his best to avoid the civilians and only shoot at the APC’s. There were three in support, Curly was doing his best to avoid the gunfire. Woodfire was firing on one and then as the smoke became darker and darker than it exploded into a fireball.
“That was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen” Woodfire said simultaneously shooting at the next APC
“I know you like fire but keep it in your pants” Curly said trying to ignore his friend's excitement
“Don’t look at it then.” Woodfire said with a sly tone
“Trying not to.” Curly said
“Sure.” Woodfire said same tone as before
The APC that Woodfire was shooting at finally blew up. “Woo hoo” Woodfire said as the APC was engulfed in flames. With only one left in support. Curly came alongside the other APC and knocked it into the APC make them crash. After that Woodfire pulled out an RC-XD, put it on the road and strew it under the scientist’s APC and activated it. It exploded, and the APC flipped over several times, then landed upside down. The scientist crawled out and ran down an ally as if nothing happened.
“Curly, I’ll keep chasing him, you go back and get the others.” Woodfire order as he began chasing the scientist
“On it.” Curly said
Woodfire again gained on the scientist, then he then turned the corner. Woodfire was getting sick of this and quickly turned the corner as well it led to a closed market, there were a lot of COR soldiers. “Twilight dammit” Woodfire said as he took cover. He started shooting at the soldiers, clearing a path for him to keep chasing the scientist as he got closer to the scientist he then grabbed him.
“You go anywhere I don’t tell you to and I blow your head off.” Woodfire told the stallion
As that was happening, the COR soldiers were coming in to secure the scientist. “Well, boys you want to burn then you burn.” Woodfire said pulled out a spray can and a lighter. Then he used it, getting two to his surprise. Then he took cover and got a look from the Scientist that told him he was crazy.
“What, I was just having some fun.” Woodfire said
“You were dropped on your head when you were little, didn’t you.” the scientist said
“Fuck you.” Woodfire respond.
Woodfire pulled out his AK-74u and shot at the COR soldiers. He managed to get one in the head. There were now fifteen left. He aimed at one then and started firing. He hit his target but was forced back in to cover by the remaining fourteen shooting at his position. He kept this proceeds up until there were ten left. “This isn’t enough twilight dammit” Woodfire said.
“Woodfire this is Gears you read?” Gears said over the com.
“Yeah Gears I read I kinda need help.” Woodfire said
“Loud and clear, we’re at the entrance of the market and hurry, we don’t want to overstay are welcome.” Gears said.
Woodfire threw a flashbang that got nine of the COR troops. He capitalized on this; he got the scientist and bolted to the entrance of the marketplace, only being stopped by the only COR soldier who wasn’t blinded. Woodfire hit the dragon in the head, pulling out his knife simultaneously. The dragon recovered Quickly dodge the knife going for his neck. The dragon came at Woodfire with his sharp claws, Woodfire rolled to evade the attack. He then came down with his knife to the dragon's back. It didn’t go through.
“What the fuck.” Woodfire said before for being kicked in the leg, falling over and dropping his knife. The dragon picked it up and brought it down, but before the dragon could finish the job, Woodfire dodge and counter it with an elbow to the dragon's face. Woodfire stood up, disarmed the dragon, grabbed the knife and plunged it in the dragon's eye.
“Come on, let's move.” Woodfire told the scientist
As the two turned the corner, the nine COR men gave chase as they turned the corner, they had no time to react as they were gunned down by an APC’s mounted turret.
“That was an interesting experience.” Woodfire said with a smile
“Good work fire put the egghead in and let's get to extraction.” Gears said
“On it.” Woodfire said

As everyone got to the warehouse Gears and Spike talked, Spike took the scientist to the back room to “chat” and everyone was getting ready for the next mission with the exception of Scootaloo who needs to recover from her injuries which Gears was patching up. “This is the second time I have to put bandage you” Gears said
“I guess I like it when you patch me up.” Scootaloo said with a smirk
“I'll bring a med-kit next time.” Gears said jokingly
“So about earlier what exactly did you see.” Gears said with a worried toun
“Just you a lot of scale, claws and sharp teeth” Scootaloo said with a glint of fear in her eye
“That's why I don’t show it. I know I said I will show you but not like that not so soon.” Gears said with a sad tone
“It's ok it scared me but I can get used to it.” Scootaloo said
“You think he won’t eat you like he did that griffon.”
“He won't eat me.” Scootaloo said out loud
“yeah I will at least buy you dinner first.” Gears said playfully.
Scootaloo was blushing profusely and Said “I said that out loud”
“You did but we haven’t even gone on our first date yet.” Gears said with the same playfully toun
“Well, after this that will change.” Scootaloo said.
“I hope so.” Gears said.

0500 hours, November 30, 2010
It has been six days since they got the scientist the information he gave was good, but it is not good enough they still need to know where the rocket will be launched from. And Gilda had moved in time it took to integrate the stallion, much to Gears’ annoyance.
“Spike, why the fucked you waste are precious time, we could have taken down Gilda right then and there, but no a fuckin egghead is more important than one of the biggest threat to Equestria.” Gears ranted to Spike
“Look, we were trying to maximize our intel and prepare for the attack, but we thought she wouldn’t move so soon.” Spike said
“I get it knowledge is power, but we're running out of time and all of them are still kicking.” Gears yelled.
“Hey, we found something.” Woodfire said.
“What is it?” Spike asked
“Hate to ruin the surprise.” Woodfire said with a smile
“Come on, let's check this out.” Gears said.
As everyone gathered around the board, everyone took their sets with Scootaloo sitting next to Gears. “Ok, now we think Gilda and garble are cutting out the queen.” daring do said
“How can you be so sure?” Spike questioned
Well, from all the changeling corpses we found all of them look like they were in a gunfight or executed, so if that the case,
“then they want to tie up loose ends.” Spike finished for them.
“We’ll move on her immediately.” Spike said
“What sir if I may, she is no threat to us we can leave her alone.” Gray cloud said
“She could be an assist to us, plus she might be doing her a favor.” Spike said.
Favor? Gray cloud said
“We get to her first and we can offer her a deal she can’t refuse.” Spike said
And if she does? Gray cloud said
“We deal with it.” Spike said
“Gears I want your team to do recon for now, look for anyone from Garble or Gilda’s circle and get anything out of them.” Spike said.
“Got it.” Gears said.
Gears and Spike huddle and started talking in a corner. Scootaloo walked up to gray cloud and started talking about things. Then the subject changed to a Scootaloo’s relationship with Gears.
You're still conflicted with your feelings? Gray cloud asked.
“Bit yes but I think I might go for it for myself right I mean don’t knock until you try right?” Scootaloo said.
“Indeed.” Gray cloud said.

“Why are we coming back here?” Care root asked
“Last time, there were a lot of changelings here, so there might be clues here.” Spike informed Care.
“The temple is up a head,” Daring said.
They walked up to the temple and took cover behind some bushes. There was a lot of changeling making defence and keeping a watch out. Spike was a bet taken aback by the swiftness of this mission.
“I’m assuming this is where she's hiding.” Care whispered.
“Maybe or just an outpost.” Spike said
“Let's clear this area and head in.” daring said
“Gray you with me...Gray?” Spike said
“Fuck, you see gray detente him immediately.” Spike order
“Got it.” Daring said
“Wait, what if he just abet behind?” Care retorted
“Me and gears suspected someone was a turncoat, so anyone unaccounted for is to be detente.”
“Ok.” Care said in a low toun.
Spike, daring, and care all got ready to open fire until the changeling pounced first. They over welled the trio, pinning them and knocking them out. Once they came to, they saw gray cloud staring at them.
“Don’t try on escaping the queen will see you shortly” Gray said no emotion on his face
“You’ve betrayed us, Gray.” Spike said
“This is not a betrayal” Gray stated
“Bullshit.” Spike said
“I’m not the one to explain this, but you must know I’m your ally.” gray said
“Then get us out of here.” Care said
“I won’t be trying to persuade my infiltrator if I were you, he is not one to be messed with.” Queen Chrysalis said.
“We're just here to talk, so why don’t you untie us so we can chat.” Daring said
“Not yet ” Chrysalis stated

“No” gray said
“What” chrysalis question
“I think she should be spared, she is just a child compared to the others she not a threat” gray argued
“Fine,” chrysalis said
“Realy” Gray said with a bet of hope
“Yes, I have no clue why you care for a meat bag but if you wish we will spar her but I will not hesitate to kill her if she crosses me.” chrysalis said

Gunfire was everywhere, the COR were fighting the changeling garble order an extension of the changeling due to the escape from the gulag, when chrysalis arrived a couple skirmishes were underway, Chrysalis felt betrayal but she couldn’t dewl on that now she had to focus on escaping.
“My queen over here” a changeling guard yelled to her
“Garble is a traitor, he ordered his men to kill us” he explained
“Let get to a hideout and plan are next move” chrysalis said to the changeling
“Yes ma'am I will defend you” the guard said
Chrysalis took out a Diamatti burst pistol and shot two griffon who were rushing their position. Her and her guard were heading to the helipad in the back of the base. Chrysalis shot her pistol at some dragons and killed them she continued down the hall that lead to the helipad, then two familiar faces greeted her, garble and Gilda
“Leaving so soon” garble said
“You betrayed us” chrysalis spat at them
“You incompetence comes with consequences” garble said
“This is unwarranted you will pay for double crossing the changelings” chrysalis said
“Yet, I remain unpunished.” garble said with a smile
Chrysalis growled and pulled out a knife. Garble on the other hand pulled out a spetsnaz machete. Chrysalis rushed him going for his neck only for it to deflect it and tried to stable chrysalis in her back, she dogged it and slashed him across the chest. Garble didn’t bother to react, only slashing at chrysalis’ leg, sending her off balance, she quickly recovered and looked over to her guard who was fighting Gilda. She put her attention on garble again nearly dodging his swing at her head. Chrysalis rolled behind him and stabbed garble in the leg; he yelled in pain and kicked her away; she dropped her knife as that happened. She got herself back up and looked at the sky seeing a friendly helicopter she just had to hold out a little longer
“Aah” the Guard said
“You're supposed to protect your queen when you can’t even be a griffon, now time to end this bug problem.” Gilda said
“No” chrysalis yelled
Chrysalis ran towards Gilda and tackled her. She hit her across the face causing blood to come out of Gilda’s beak.
“You are not killing my changelings” chrysalis yelled in gilda’s face
“You bugs should all just die” Gilda said
Chrysalis shouted in pain. Looking down only to see a knife in her side. She was then kicked off gilda. Then in the nick of time the helicopter landed with the minigun firing on the dragon and griffon they retired inside. Chrysalis’ guard rushed to her side and cared her to helicopter
“Get use out of here” the Guard said to the pilot
“Forgive me my queen I should have done better.” the guard said sadly
“It is not your fault you did your best and you did not lose your life that's more important to me.” she said to reassure him

Chrysalis ordered her men to stay hidden until it was time to move on the rocket site. After that she began to chat with gloom then she went to talk with spike.
“Why are we waiting here shouldn't we be going after Gilda and garble?” Chrysalis question
“We are, but we need the rest of the team first.” Spike said
“You don’t have time to waste; you have twenty-four days to stop the rocket.” Chrysalis stated
“You keep saying you as if you're not a part of this.” Spike said a bit irritated
“I’m only helping to kill garble and Gilda I don’t care about your country just revenge,” Chrysalis said
“You know it doesn't matter why if we fail we die and that's for everyone who's a part of this including you.” Spike said with a matter a fact tone

“Stand down, she’s with us,” Spike said
” Wait, where’s gray” Scootaloo said looking for her friend
“Scootaloo” gloom said to here
“You're a changeling.” Scootaloo said in a deadpan
“Forgive me, Scootaloo,” gloom said.
“I don’t know how to respond to that.” Scootaloo said
“So why do you want to help us, anyway?” gears question chrysalis
“Those your hunting betrayed me.” chrysalis said
“I don’t doubt that.” Gears said
“Really?” chrysalis wonder
“Those two assholes crippled my friend, and Gilda used to be an ally.” Gears said
“I’m a fool.” Chrysalis said
“You're not, they're just untrustworthy.” Gears said
“Ok gears, you finally get your changes, we move on Gilda now.” Spike said
“Finally, that bitch is going to pay for what she did to rainbow.” Gears said
“Maybe we get to go home before the heartwarming.” Scootaloo said
“I can't wait to see Glitter again.” Gears said
“I really want to see Lighting, it been a while.” Scootaloo said
“Perhaps, now let's not waste anymore time.” Gloom said

Gears, Scootaloo, Gloom
1000 hours, December 1, 2010
Gears was angry he hated Gilda over everything she did to his friend. Scootaloo was trying desperately to calm him down to no avail. Gray or Gloom was trying to stay quite worried he might lose a friend if he said anything. Everyone was on edgy, no one daring to speak, as soon as they entered the city limits Gears wasted no time and rushed to gilda’s hideout two griffon guards saw the charging pony but be for they could do anything gears pulled out a knife and a pistol, he tacked one and shot the other in the head then he stabbed the one he tacked in the forehead.
“Twilight dammit Gears slow down.” Scootaloo yelled after him which did nothing to the anger hybrid.
“I’ve never seen him like this before” Scootaloo thought to herself
Maybe he will kill you if you get in his way you should avoid him.
“No he’s a good stallion, he just needs to do this for himself, for his friend.” Scootaloo argued with herself.
Scootaloo ran down a street that was lined with bodies of COR griffon soldiers, all with scratches, bite marks and bullet holes. Scootaloo was getting worried about gears. She knows who he is, and it's not this. She construed to walk down where she had to take cover to a firefight. She looked over to the other side of the road and saw a scaly pony with claws.
“Gears come over here you need to get to cover.” Scootaloo told him
“Hurry up, we don't have all day” Gears said impatiently
Gears was shooting at the griffons with no cover, before gears noticed a griffon fired his rifle at gears’ direction all but one shot missed which landed in his leg making him fall. “FUCK” gears yelled in pain. Just then gloom turned his head around the corner behind the griffons and shot everyone of them. Scootaloo took the opportunity and ran over to gears.
“This is why you take cover your lucky you didn’t get killed.” Scootaloo said as she hugged Gears
Gears with a big blush on his faces looked at Scootaloo and said “I’m sorry for making you worry and Gray, gloom whatever the fuck your name is thanks for saving me.” Scootaloo realising what she was hugging gears, she got the same blush as he had and let him go. Scootaloo cheeked gears’ wound and due to scootaloo not being a medic patched him up the best she could.
“So how did I do?” Scootaloo said helping gears on his legs
“Well, with the lack of medical supplies not that bad.” Gears complected
“May we continue.” Gloom said.
The three of them moved through the empty streets, Scootaloo supporting gears. They came across a patrol they took cover, five Griffons all of which hadn't spotted them. Gears was the fastest. He grabbed a frag and tossed it at the group. As that happened three got lucky and spit from the group before the grenade exploded it killed two and the three spit quickly looked for whoever throw the grenade. Scootaloo pulled out a knife and signed to gloom and they both creeped on the two griffons. Scootaloo grabbed the griffon and twisted him making him fall over then with break neck speed slashed her blade across the griffon's throat. gloom’s for his take down was stabbed the griffon in the stomach several times then stabbed him in the heart. One left which was killed by gears with a sniper shot to the head.
“Why are we coming here again?” Scootaloo asked
“We need to find anything that can help us find Gilda’s location.” Gears said
“So she’s not even here.” Scootaloo said
“So your angry is miss placed here” Gloom said
“Angry I’m not angry” Gears said
“Not now but you were earlier” Gloom stated a fact
“I wasn’t.” Gears denied.
“So you that incompetent then.” Gloom said
“I’m not,” Gears yelled.
They managed to get to the target building without much trouble. As soon as they entered the building, they was a clean-up crew, they quickly killed all of them with ease and began to look around. They founded a list of names and a USB. “find anything” gloom asked
“ just this.” Scootaloo said showing him the USB
“Might be useful” Gloom said
“How are you holding up Gears?” Scootaloo asked Gears who was sitting down duo to his leg injury.
“how about you that shoulder doesn't look much better.” Gears said.
“I’m fine and don't change the subjected please I’m worry about you.” Scootaloo said
“You care about me?” Gears asked abet surprised
“Of course I do. I never really liked stallions since…. you're different you're not up your own ass like the rest of them.” Scootaloo said.
“Um thanks, is there something you want to talk about?” Gears asked.
“Im fine let's go.” scootaloo said choking back a sob.
Gears put his hoof around scootaloo to comfort her. Gloom was looking at the USB. “Woodfire must look at this, he might know what to do.” Gloom said.

0700 hours, December 10, 2010
It had been nine days since Scootaloo and gloom found the intel. Over the past couple days everyone was on eggy. They didn’t have much time. Spike, Chrysalis and the rest of the team have been trying to scrape anything together to no avail. They found nothing, and now they are just praying that the USB can help them.
Gears was woken up by Spike. He was here to redress his wound. “Hay Gears, how are you holding up?” Spike asked his friend.
“I’m fine but this just fuckin sucks,” Gears said gesturing to his leg
“Yeah...I’ve been a shitty friend to you haven’t I.” spike said taking off gears’ dirty bandages
“Why do you say that?” Gears asked, surprised that Spike would say that.
“Because I went with you putting everything aside for a bet, you were pissed off and I sent you with a mare who you only know for two months and a changeling who we can hardly trust.” Spike said as he put on fresh bandages on Gears’ leg.
“One, I can fairly say we can trust Scootaloo.” Gears said.
“Which head told you that.” Spike said with a mischievous grin on his face
“Fuck off, and second gray or gloom. Whatever he preferred saved my ass, so I think the team was fine, at least better if I wasn't on it.” Gears said looking down.
“Now don't say that sure you fucked up, but this is the exception, not the rule.” Spike said try to reassure him.
“Thanks Spike, now come on we got to see if Woodfire is done decrypting that USB.” Gears said walking up to Woodfire Spike close behind.
“Hey man, how's the leg.” Woodfire said
“Hurts like hell, but I’ll manage.” Gears said.
“Did you manage to decrypt it yet?” Spike asked.
“Yes and no, yes we found Gilda, no, because we don’t have her location yet.” Woodfire said
“How is that?” Spike asked
“The file is split. It has everyone in the personnel file, IDs and where they are, but the coordinates are on a different file that I don’t have access to yet.” Woodfire said
“Where is Gilda anyway.” Gears asked
“Why is this important?” Spike asked.
“Because of a file, we found it with the USB.” Gears said
“It only has a list of buildings, how can that help us.” Spike said
“We can find where she is before wasting are time with the USB for another nine days” Gears said
“we will look at it.” Spike said have no other option.
A couple hours later
“I think I got it.” Gears said with enthusiasm
“Hate to break it to gears but none of these are locations.” Scootaloo said
“No, if you look at the words you can kinda see some are more emphasized than others.” Gears said
“He's right, mom always taught me that if it's a puzzle, then look for the more subtle differences.” Spike said
Gears started to write down the words that had emphasis. Spike on the other hand went to bring the black board so gears doesn’t have to walk all the way. As soon as he finished, gears walked to the board which was three steps because of Spike moving it. He put it on the board then. Gears saw the full picture, and he didn’t understand it. “Fuck” Gears said disheartened
“No, you close gears we just don't have all the pieces.” Spike said.
“We can try one of her lieutenants for the rest.” Woodfire recommend
“Yeah, we do that, we’re so close we can do this.” Spike said
“Get one of their areas and were to moving on it Scoot with me.” Gears said then he fell down as he stood up. Gears felt pain in his leg but tried to get up anyway then he was stopped by Spike.
“I think you should sit this one out.” Spike said helping gears stand up.
“I’m fine.” Gears said
“You just fell, be lucky you didn’t open your wound.” Spike said
“Fine” Gears said annoyed
“Scootaloo you with me” Spike ordered.

“Spike” Scootaloo said
“What” Spike respond
“Nothing nevermind.” Scootaloo said
“If your tired of not talking that start.” Spike said not wanting to brack the ice
“Ok, uh..I think I like someone but I keep hearing this voice at the back of my head that tells me he might be dangerous, what do you think.” Scootaloo said
“Well, do you have any reason to think they’re dangerous?” Spike asked
“No, but it's still a thing that holds me back from him.” Scootaloo answered
“Well, ignore it.” Spike said
“What” Scootaloo said, baffled by Spike’s response
“If there's no reason besides a voice in your head then ignore it and go for it if this someone is good enough then you might be happy.” Spike elaborated
“Thanks, Spike.” Scootaloo thanked him
“No problem, it Gears right,” Spike said with a grin
“What.” Scootaloo said with a massive blush on her face.
“I knew it, don’t worry, Gears is a good stallion, bet of a temper, but no one is perfect.” Spike told the blushing mare in front of him.
“Oh, uh, any tips for a date with him.” Scootaloo asked nervously
“Just make it special, it will be his first.” Spike said with a smirk
Wait, what? Scootaloo said
“Yeah, he has never been on a date before.” Spike said
“He has a daughter.” Scootaloo retorted
“Adopted, but he still loves her all the same.” Spike said
“Ok, but how- wait there's movement.” Scootaloo said now focusing on the task at hand
“Good eye lets see what's out here” Spike told Scootaloo as he took out a pair of binoculars and looking out on the desert, Spike saw a convoy, three jeeps heading north.
“Scootaloo get the gear we’re moving.” Spike said.
“Yes, sir.” Scootaloo said
Spike and Scootaloo followed the convoy. It took quite a bet of time but after a comment from scootaloo about taking too much time. The convey finally arrived at its destination. Sccotaloo and Spike hide in the hill the convey parked in an old celestial facility.
"Why are the COR hiding in an abandon facility." Scootaloo asked
"Gears, you and mom came to these types facilities before you mind guiding us." Spike said over the comm
"Don’t let those bastards mess with anything in there, you hear me." Gears order with a tremble in his voice
"What's wrong, you sound worried." Scootaloo said worried about Gears
"Above your paygrade." Gears said trying to sound calm it failed
"Gears" Scootaloo said with a bit of fear in her voice
"Look there's stuff I can’t talk about and this is one of them, all you need to know is this place is horrible and you should get out of there as soon as possible." Gears said
"Ok copy that, well get what we need then get out." Spike said
"Lets move." Spike ordered
Scootaloo and Spike slide down the hill and creeping behind two guards. Scootaloo pulled out a combat knife before bring it down on him Spike throw a hatchet at the guard beside the other one. He turned but before doing anything scootaloo slashed her knife up then down the stallion’s leg sending him to his knees but before he could get up; she stabbed him in the throat.
“What was that” Scootaloo said.
“I didn’t know what you're going to do.” Spike said
“Let just keep going.” Scootaloo said abet annoyed
Scootaloo and spike keep moving in the facility they saw a couple of interesting look blue rocks. They report it to gears which he told them to avoid it and keep going. They came across a room with ten COR soldiers. Seeing no way of sneaking around them they decide to engaged. Scootaloo shot one soldier and hit him in the throat Spike throw a hatchet at one of them. With eight left a skirmish was underway. Scootaloo was firing at a dragon in cover then she noticed a red barrel behind them. She fired at it hopeing something will happen. It exploded killing four of the soldiers two ponies and two griffons.
“Four left.” Scootaloo said
Scootaloo charged two of the one left; she stabbed one in the leg, then using the stallion as a shield. She pulled the stallion's pistol and shot two of them. Then she was hit in the head once she was on the ground. The dragon was about to kill her then he got a round through the head as a reward.
"Will that could have gone better." Spike said
"Could have gone worse too." Scootaloo said
"Lets go." Spike said
As they were going to the end of the facility, they found a COR soldiers disemboweled blood spatter all over the walls, Scootaloo stopped herself from vomiting and continued down the hall they found the lieutenant alive but with his foreleg cut off. Scootaloo was the first to speak. “ sir are you ok.”
“No I’m not” he said with fear in his voice
"Can we get out of here." the lieutenant said
"What?" Scootaloo said
"I will give you anything, just please." the stallion said
"Ok." Spike said
"Come on then." spike said.
as the three walk out of the room scootaloo could hear scratching coming from a door and groaning from the other side.

“Who’s your mom again.” Scootaloo change the subjected knowing she isn’t going to get a conversation from the drake
“I thought you read people’s files” Spike said mockingly
“No, I don't,” Scootaloo said.

“You were having a nightmare, a terrible one by the looks of it.” Scootaloo explained
“I’m fine scoots.” Gears said
“You don’t look fine please tell me what happened.” Scootaloo said

I was a foal again, me and my mother were in our bakery, me and her were making cupcakes for my father and his friends when we walked out I was alone I gave the cupcakes to my father, he ate one then he fell to the gowned dead. I tried to see what was wrong, but my mother appeared and she blamed me for killing him. She called me a monster, a freak and a mistake.” Gears said, tearing up.

“Well don’t worry I will plan everything.” Scootaloo said
“No, you're the mare I plan everything and pay” Gears argued
“Times have changed. You can pay if you want, but I will make it special for you.” scootaloo said
“You shouldn’t have to, I'm the one to sweep you off your hoofs, not the other way around.” Gears continued to argued
“Well to bad don’t fight me on this.” Scootaloo said with a smirk
“Fine but on our second date I’m doing everything.” gears said in defeat.
“Fine.” Scootaloo said full knowing she agreed to a second date.
“Gears, Scootaloo come on we got everything we need. We need to solve the code.” spike yelled over to them

Dragonlands, Three kings
Gears, Scootaloo
1000 hours, December 14, 2010
It took a fair amount of time to arrive at three kings. Gears insisted on coming along; he also made a call to General Cozy Glow and asked her for task force 141 for an op which she abolished. Now Spike Gears and Scootaloo are going to meet the task force.
“Why are we getting a new team to help us here on top secret op?” Spike asked Gears abet irritated.
“General Glow owed me a favor and one that was big. Let's say this makes us even.” Gears said with a smirk.
“Why do we need more people on this thou?” Scootaloo asked gears
“We need numbers for this, and with Woodfire, daring-do, curly winds, and care roots are all busy looking for garble’s rocket. And there are a lot of the floors.” Gears said
“Ok, that's fair.” Scootaloo said.
The three of them entered the back alley, and they saw the unmistakable purple standard battle dress uniform of a special force team. All with equipment night vision goggles attached to their helmet, an M4A1 with an ACOG scope, suppressor, and a laser sight. Two had an M16 with the same set of attachments on them. The last one had a spaz 12 with a reflex sight, laser sight, and an extension barreled for 12 shells loaded in.
“Captain Cash ready to get started.” Gears said to the stallion with the M4
“Colonel Gears, it’s been a while.” the stallion named cash said
“You two know each other.” Spike said
“Prince Spike it a pleasure to meet you.” Cash said.
“I ran into the captain back when he was a private and look at him now.” Gears said
“Is that pride in your voice colonel or you still choosing to be called Sargent sweets?” cash said.
“Sargent sweets?” Scootaloo said, stifling a chuckle.
Gears with a small blush said, “rainbow called me that as a nickname.”
Is it because you lived in a bakery?” Scootaloo said.
“Were wasting time sirs.” a stallion with a skull mask told Gears and cash
“He’s right, let's move.” Spike said.
The team went in, killing the first armed guards. The workers started screaming and ran out of the building. “Watch your fire around the civilians.” Gears said as he killed guards running up to secure Gilda. They went up the stairs and killed everyone armed with a gun. As Gears entered the sixth floor, he immediately was getting shot at. Gears took cover and after there was a break in fire, gears went out of cover and returned fire unlike them, gears hit one of them in the heart. With one down seven left to go.
“Sargent sweets!” cash said taking cover behind a nearby wall.
Gears entered cover as soon as they returned fire “We need to get through them.” Gears said to cash. Cash took out a flashbang and tossed it at the seven guards once it went off, Cash and Gears took the opportunity and killed four of them. With three left cash ran down the the hall killing one of them in the head then was pin down by the remaining two. Gears shot one in the head with an mp5 charged the last stallion wincing in pain in the faceted that his leg has not properly healed yet. He hit the stallion in the face with the end of his mp5 and finished him off with a bullet from his 1911.
“Floor clear” Gears said
“That was something good to fight alongside your gears” cash said after catching his breath.
“You too cash.” Gears said
“Ok best be off we're here to kill that griffon and that's what we're going to do.” Cash said
Scootaloo and the masked stallion were fighting four guards. Scootaloo killed four on her own and is helping the stallion with his group, Scootaloo smacked one in the face with her pistol then quickly put two rounds in his body one in the chest and the other in the head. She dodged the swipe form the guard next to her then kicked him to the side. She then was being aimed at by one of the two guards left. She grabbed the guard engaging her ally and after using the guard as a meat shield she used the poor stallion as a mount for her gun kneeing him in the stomach dropping him on his knees, she then shot the griffon firing at them three times then turned her mount to the dragon that recovered and was charing at them and she shot him several time in the body.
“Clear,” Scoortaloo said in a deadpan.
“Oh my twilight your a deadly mare aren't you” the masked stallion said
“DS always told me I can be when I set my mind to it.” Scootaloo said.
“What's your name anyways?” scootaloo asked
“I go by ghost.” the stallion said
“Well ghost, let's find your caption and the colonel.” scootaloo said with a smirk.
Scootaloo and ghost found the two ranking officers in the stairwell of the tenth floor, as they saw each other they immediately construed on their way. They fought their way through the building. Not stopping till they found her, Gilda was entering an elevator and heading to the roof. Gears was pissed, that griffon cripled his friend and he was powerless to do anything that was then this is now. He went as fast as he could to the elevator but it already was going up. Gears yelled in frustration and entered the next elevator scootaloo being the first one to catch up and said “ gears calm down you don’t want to get yourself killed.”
Fine but that bitch is mine she has to pay for what happened to my friend.” gears yelled
“Ok don’t worry, we'll get her.” scootaloo said
As everyone entered the elevator they hit the button for the roof knowing she was going to escape from there. As the elevator got to the roof gears was the first one out. He shot the two guards beside gilda gears dropped his disguise and tacked gilda, gears slashed her face with his claw after he calm down a bet he lifted her up and thats when spike and the other 141 members got to the roof. Gears throw her to the ground and aimed his pistol at her head.
“I finally got you.” gears spat at her
“Who the fuck are you” gilda said with a bet of fear looking at the creature ponting the gun at her
“You don’t remember me, I the stallion who you knocked out after crippling rainbow dash” Gears said with a glare
“Gears it really you.” gilda said with a sad expression on her face
“you know how broken up she was over what you did to her” Gears said concealed rage in his voice
“I didn’t it was garble he shot her” gilda said her voice trembling
“But you didn’t try to stop him, you betrayed her, she trusted you and you hurt her.” Gears shouted at her his anger no longer being hidden.
“I know I regret it everyday.” gilda admitted tears falling freely off her face.
“Gears she’s not worth it.” Scootaloo spock up
“But she hurt my friend, she has to pay.” Gears said tears starting to fall
“I think she suffered enough.” scootaloo said
“But I” Gears said
“I saw rainbow dash she looked like she is fine she forgives her.” Scootaloo said trying to convince him.
“Why do you want to save her so badly.” Gears asked scootaloo
“I don’t but what if your daughter saw you now what would she think,” Scootaloo said
Gears looked off to the side and saw a little filly with a green mane and a mustard yellow coat she was crying and said “dad you wouldn’t do this please stop.” gears blinked and the filly disappeared he smiled lower his pistol and walked towards scootaloo. He hugged her
“Thank you scootaloo” gears said.
Scootaloo hugged him back and said “anytime”
Spike come on let get gilda in cuffs, spike!?
Spike with a blank expression on his face walked up to Gilda, pulled out his pistol then shot her in the head. The gun shot was deafening as gilda’s body when limp. No one said a thing.
