Undisclosed Location / Delta 0-1 / Time: Unknown at this time

So there I was, about to die again, I wish I had told Rainbow goodbye when I got the chance, but I couldn't man up enough to tell her, I guess this was it. This time, there was no hospital to keep me alive, at least the rest of the team would get to see everypony again, I know it was worth my sacrifice, just for them getting to live another day, knowing that they're safe, would make me happy. This is just what I was afraid of, dating Rainbow, and dying before I could do anything with her, like ask if she could come move in with me, or vice versa. I guess this is goodbye guys...for now.

A few hours earlier...

Well, Delta has been called to action again, but this time, the Griffon's, Diamond Dogs, and whatever's left of the changeling army had banded together, making a giant, super army.

"Alright men, we know the risks of this mission, one or two of us may not be coming back alive from this mission, but that's the price for protecting this lovable country." I said, briefing Delta, now with recruited royal guards for them to get a little bit of what war tasted like. We walked out into the smoke and dust covering the field like a blanket, ready for anything to be thrown at us, we had already left without saying goodbye to the girls back home, thinking that it would be too painful to say goodbye with someone that might not be coming back.

"General, it's been an honor serving with you." Nick said, wiping a single tear from his eye, he knew this could be it. We had just found out that the Griffons were working on crossbow technology, and practically every one of them were armed with crossbows. Eventually, the super army has attacked first, shooting Nick in the leg, disabling it. I dragged him back, since he was a sniper he could provide support from behind the front line.

"Don't worry, you'll be fine Nick, let me patch you up." I said, holding pressure to the wound, trying to stop the bleeding.

"Drew, just in case we don't make it..." Nick started, I didn't let him finish his statement, saying not t talk like that. I had patched him up successfully, he was good as new, aside the fact that there was a bloody bandage over his leg, but he would be fine. I went back to provide support over the front line, to help Jhon and Kaptn hold them off.

"Throwing C-4!" Kaptn yelled, detonating it a few seconds later killing a whole squad of our enemies.

"I don't think we can hold them much longer sir!" Jhon yelled over to me, he was right, but we had to keep pushing them back, no matter the costs.

"Just keep pushing! We'll make it!" I yelled back, shooting a bullet into a Diamond Dog's head in the process, making it drop dead on the floor, we were running low on ammo too, which didn't help at all. I had enough Desert Eagle ammo to keep going though, I pulled out Goldie, dropping my assault rifle on the floor, and started to light them up, getting double headshots, triple headshots, and quaaaaaads! We actually had the upper hand for the moment, until they received reinforcements, turns out Chrysalis was back, better than ever. I thought I gotten rid of her, but it turns out I was wrong, I had no idea how she got back, or survived those deathclaws. She wasn't as stupid as last time, because she was controlling the whole army this time around, so she had no need to fight for herself, like the coward she was. We knew we weren't gonna win this, there were just too many of them. To save ammo I was using my kinesis module, snapping the horns off of dead changelings, and impaling the ones that were still alive, killing them. I knew what I had to do. The diamond dogs charged over at Delta, knocking all of us on the floor, but we snapped their necks before they could take a bite out of us, getting right back up. We were using our plasma cutters whenever Griffons were trying to get us from above, clipping their wings off in the process.

"Delta! Fall back! Repeat, Fall Back!" I yelled over the comms module, we made a hasty retreat, everyone gathered on me, we needed a gameplan.

"Okay, here's the deal. Go home, I'll handle the rest of this fight." I said, reloading Goldie, everyone just looked at me in horror, knowing what I was about to do.

"But you'll die! I can't let you do that!" Everyone said in unison, I had explained to them why I wanted to do this, but they still wouldn't let me, I had opened a portal back to Ponyville while they were bickering.

"Get in the portal, that's an order Delta." I calmly replied. Nick, Jhon, and Kaptn saluted me off, knowing that I wouldn't come back alive.

"Nick. Tell Rainbow, I'm sorry for letting her down." I said, closing the portal and charging head on into the crowd of hostiles, doing anything I can to stop the invasion.

Ponyville / Everypony, but Drew / Wednesday, 12:00 PM

"HE DID WHAT?!" Everypony gasped in horror, Nick had told all of their friends about Drew''s sacrifice.

"Rainbow, Drew told me to tell you, 'Sorry for letting you down.' I'm sorry for our loss." Nick said, comforting Rainbow's utter sadness, this is one of those times when she couldn't just shrug it off, she had taken it pretty badly.

"Remember now, he did this so everypony can live on. At least be happy about still being alive right now." Kaptn said, trying to make the mood better around here, but without success.

Location: Unknown / Drew / Status: MIA / Wednesday, 1:30 PM

I knew this was it, I was taking a beating, everything around me was just moving so fast, I didn't even notice myself snapping the neck of a Griffon while shooting at a changeling, dismembering its arm. I had at least five crossbow bolts stuck inside of me, my helmet was broken, and I'm out of stasis. My RIG health was at a deep yellow color, I knew this wasn't good. This was my final stand moment, I wasn't going down if 2/3rds of that super army wasn't coming with me, I had to keep going, pulling through past the pain and guilt of leaving my friends behind. This battle had me going for hours, Chrysalis was getting rather frustrated with her minions not being able to take me down, so she sent in clones of herself to get rid of me, but to no avail, they failed too.

"Why. Won't You DIE DEMON!?" Chrysalis yelled at me, I was just naturally hard to kill, I had been packing a few stimpaks with me, so that helped my condition. I was half way towards my goal, to take down Chrysalis for good. I was literally making a path of dead creatures as I made my way towards her, nothing was going to stop me, until a beam of green magic impaled my shoulder, I struggled to pull it out as my left hand got impaled as well, my RIG's health said that I was dangerously red, but I kept on pushing through. Now, it was just me, vs. the rest of her army and herself. She wasn't going to fight back this time, I think she knew this was the end for her, every time she attempted something, only to be stopped by a hero. I had ended her, putting a bullet in her head, with love from Goldie, while I was coughing up blood and dropping to the floor as well, my RIG giving a flatlining sound as I fell to the floor.

So there I was, about to die again, I wish I had told Rainbow goodbye when I got the chance, but I couldn't man up enough to tell her, I guess this was it. This time, there was no hospital to keep me alive, at least the rest of the team would get to see everypony again, I know it was worth my sacrifice, just for them getting to live another day, knowing that they're safe, would make me happy. This is just what I was afraid of, dating Rainbow, and dying before I could do anything with her, like ask if she could come move in with me, or vice versa. I guess this is goodbye guys.

"Not just yet Drew." A familiar figure stood in the way of me, and the bright light in the sky.
