Ponyville / The Crew, The Mane 6 / Sunday, 1:00 PM

"Hey Drew Drew, what are you going to do today?" Man, when people, or ponies for that matter, call me "Drew Drew," that's the shit I don't like. Everypony snickered at the nickname I had long and forgotten about, and I had a deep blush covering my face, Pinkie pretty much just fell on the ground laughing. I then facepalmed myself and walked away from the distracted group of laughing ponies, and people. When I was walking through Ponyville on my daily patrol, or just another stroll through the colorful town, seeing what the market was selling today, Derpy came out of nowhere and fell out of the sky. She was using me as an object to break her fall, again.

"Heya Drew! Sorry, I don't know what went wrong. But I have a letter for you, it's from the princess." She pulled out a letter with the royal seal of approval stamped on it.

"Thanks Derpy, I''ll read it as soon as I can. And stay safe, I can't always be there to break your fall." I replied, she giggled and trotted off, bumping into stuff as she went along. I then opened up the letter the princess, it read 'URGENT' on it so this was important.

Dear Delta Team 0-1,

You are to go to the Special Forces Operations Command at sundown in Canterlot. Where we will discuss an important matter involving the Griffon terrorists, they have invaded Neighvada and Trotsylvania. They really are pissed about what happened in Manehattan, and now they're going on the offensive once again. I want you and your team to counter this act of terrorism committed and bring them to justice. You will be deployed within the next 24 hours as of when you get this message, this will be a tough campaign, so I recommend you bring your best supplies with you.

May the goddesses be with you, Princess Celestia.

Well fuck, we're going on a campaign? Haven't these Griffons heard of quitting before? I'm getting sick and tired of the terrorists. It looks like I'll have to install a RIG system into my ODST armor, because I still need to do that, and she did say to bring your best supplies. Rainbow and the rest of the Crew caught up to me, right as I was modifying my ODST armor at the bench.

"You're going away again, aren't you?" Rainbow grabbed me around my shoulders, I nodded.

"They attacked Trotsylvania and Neighvada, we're going to get them back." I said, testing my RIG and how it fitted on my ODST plating. I then made an inventory check, I had my C-5, gas mask, Goldie and my M1911, my ACR, armor piercing rounds, hollow point rounds, explosive rounds, and stasis packs. It looked like we were all set, Nick checked the rounds in his .44 Magnum, Kaptn fitted on his helmet, and Jhon loaded a clip into his MP-5. We then went to the Special Forces Operations Command in Canterlot, where we will be meeting with Princess Celestia.

"Glad you're on time Drew, now we can get down to business." The princess seated herself, while Shining Armor sat next to her, and me sitting with my team across the table.

"Good to be here ma'am. Have you devised a plan of attack?" I replied, she nodded. This was going to be one helluva campaign, I just hope we make it back in one piece.

"Okay, first things first. The Special Pegasi Service will be assisting us in this operation, otherwise known as the SPS. You and your unit will be sent to Neighvada, Shining Armor and his detachment will be sent to Trotsylvania. The SPS will be sent to both locations to provide air support as you move into the area. There are two leaders of this organization attacking the two states. I want you to track them down and eliminate them, once you eliminate them, the other units will mop up the rest of the state. Good luck Delta." She teleported out of the room, a little under dramatic but we were like, 'screw it.'

"Alright Delta, we will be leaving in two hours, you might want to say your goodbyes, because some of you, including myself, might not be coming back." I announced, the ponies inside the command center were scrambled, getting on their gear, lining up to use the phone, loading their guns, and other stuff too. I then made my way into a helicopter, with my crew right behind me. I saluted off Shining Armor as I said, "Good luck," over the radio transmission. We just headed off into the direction of Neighvada, I don't understand how they got past Marifornia's defenses in the first place, but we knew we had to take that back too.

A few hours later, Neighvada border...

"Alright, this is as far as I can take you, good luck." The SPS operator dropped us off at the border, once we get into the outpost and across the border, we were on our own for the time being. We made our way to the outpost, we noticed sandbags lined across the borderline along the way.

"State your name and business citizen." One of the guards got in our way, we then presented ourselves.

"Commander Andrew Goulding, Delta Force. Team number 0-1, and we're here to liberate Neighvada and Marifornia." I said, his eyes widened and instantly got out of our way.

"Look for a Colonel Soul Wind while inside, he'll brief you guys." The guard shouted at us, I gave a wave letting him know that we got the message. We headed into the head tent in in the center of the outpost, we them saw an orange unicorn sitting at the big table.

"Welcome gentlemen, you must be the infamous Delta Force we've been hearing about. Take a seat and we'll get started." I then sat down on a bean bag, a little childish, but I love bean bags. He then briefed us about who was leading this terrorist operation, a Griffon known as Black Claws. He was known through out the Griffon Empire as the most wanted criminal in their country.

"Also, he has a huge bounty on his head, I advise you be careful around Black Claws, he is a very dangerous Griffon." He waved us off, we set off through the Marejave Desert, heading our way to Las Pegasus, where their base of operations were. It was the desert, so we had to switch camouflage, we stood out like a sore hoof in this jet black armor. We have found it, Las Pegasus, and it's been taken over by Griffons, the shit I don't like. We then made our way to the casino that was the closest to our current location, we looked inside that they were everywhere.

"I think we may have to take a stealthier approach..." Nick trailed off, I nodded, there were too many.

"I have an idea, we just need to find the main breaker room." Jhon stated, we were going dark, with suppressors on. We found the breaker room in the maintenance wing, and Jhon took control of the power, we then put on our NVG's and headed into the main lobby. We took out every one of them, all except for two.

"Who turned out the light? Lightwings turn the light back on!" I then snapped the neck of Lightwings when he was making his way to the breaker room alone, leaving the other Griffon the last one standing.

"Jhon turn the light back on." I whispered into the mic, he immediately turned the light back on, with the griffon aiming his gun at Nick, I then clicked my Desert Eagle off of safety, making a satisfying noise.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." I pointed my gun at his head, he was crying, begging for his life.

"I'll do anything! Just don't kill me, I have a family." I felt bad for him, and he DID say he would help us, so out of the kindness in my heart I let him live.

"Okay, as long as you help us capture or kill Black Claws. You'll get to see your family again under government protection. You are now our informant, do you mind giving us your name?" Kaptn asked, he handcuffed the griffon, the chains were locked to Kaptn's belt so he wouldn't escape.

"My name's Ghostly Beak, I worked for Black Claws because I needed to put food on the table for my parents and family. It was the only way I could get the money. I didn't want to kill anypony, but he threatened to kill my family." Poor guy, I know what that was like, after my parents died I was out on the streets with Nick. He had to ask for pocket change from strangers and work unusual low paying jobs just to feed both of us. I then signed up for the 75th Ranger Regiment and got recruited into The Unit a few years later.

We then set the captured casino as our base camp, this was going to be a long mission, it would last us at least a few weeks. We then opened our rations and started our dinner, having to feed Ghostly Beak too. Tomorrow was going to be the big fight, Delta and the Special Pegasi Service versus the Terrorists. We had AC-130 and Reaper air support coming in tomorrow to our aide, we needed to take the city so we can take the rest of the Marejave. Luckily while we were out there in the Marejave we didn't get caught by anypony, we made it to the city. We didn't have to worry about hostages because they've been evacuated, the ones who didn't are probably dead by now.

I also contacted the Colonel back at the outpost, he also said we would be getting reinforcements from his unit as well. I then made everyone check their gear, because I'm going scouting while Nick, Jhon, and Kaptn go take over another casino, the MGM Stallion to be exact. I instructed Ghostly Beak to stay in the casino we captured already, he couldn't go anywhere because we had him locked inside of the Deluxe Suite. I loaded a clip filled with hollow points into my Ballista, and aimed down the scope.

"Drew, you got a patrol coming out from the MGM, can you get a shot?" I then pulled the trigger, killing both of them, the Griffons inside were now on high alert, they've found the bodies. Nick then took it around back, where they wouldn't expect it. He then breached the back door, catching them by surprise and then I heard a silence. It looked like that they've successfully captured the MGM Stallion, there was a Griffon impaled to the front gate, LOL.

"This is Nick reporting, the MGM Stallion has been recovered." He announced, I nodded.

"Good, report back to me. We need to get a little rest, I'll take first shift." I said, I also heard cheering over the radio. I smiled as I climbed down from the roof, Ghostly Beak knew we had done it, and just then Nick teleported my crew back into our casino, he was part unicorn after all. Tomorrow was going to be just another day, fighting Griffons again, and hopefully catching Black Claw.
