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.

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.

“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.
